For everyday cleaning use a soft cloth and any liquid detergent. Acrylic units are usually reinforced with fiberglass and provide a thick, strong, smooth surface. Using abrasive or solvent-base cleaners can mar this surface. Instead, use dry powdered detergent on a damp cloth. This com- bination will provide adequate, mild abrasive with a soft wood stick or rice paddle. Metal scrapers, wire brushes or other metal tools should not be used on acrylic tubs or shower units, remind the Extension specialists. Remove light scratches and dulled areas by rub- bing an automotive-type body cleaning compound on the surface.

Until government and in- dustry come up with a solu- tion to the problem of scarce fossil fuels, the American Association of Nurserymen points out three smart things homeowners can do to use their energy supplies wisely around the house. First, make the heating and cooling systems work more efficiently and use them conservatively. Second, use other energy sources such as sun and wind.

According to the energy experts at the Certain- Teed Home Institute, you can easily insulate the wall between your home and an attached unheated garage to help eliminate drafts and reduce cooling and heating bills in your house.

The kraft-faced vapor , barrier is clearly marked — and should be installed with the kraft paper fac- ing toward the heated area of the house. The other side of the insula- tion is faced with special “breather” paper with flanges which you staple to the wall studs. It faces the inside toward the un- heated garage.
