At times wool rugs do not smell good at all. Learn some methods that you can use to get the smell out of these rugs.

Wool is a very common material to use for household rugs. Wool is sturdy, lasts a long time, and look nice. There is one big problem that wool has compared to other materials. Wool at times can have a bad smell to it. There are many different smells that get trapped in wool rugs which eventually can make a room smell not like you want it.

There are some things that you can do to get rid of a smell in a wool rug. This will let you have a pleasant smelling rug again.

The first thing that you need to do is to vacuum the rug. This won't actually remove any smells from the rug itself. But it will get out things that will eventually cause the rug to smell worse. This is a preventative step, but it will also make your rug last longer too.

One method that you can use to make a wool rug smell better is to take it outside on a sunny, clear day and let it sit out in the sun. You don't do this too long as you don't want to bleach the rug. For one reason or another this will improve the smell of your rug. Put it on a tarp and flip it or hang it off the ground.

Cat litter is something else that you can use on your wool rug. Put a thin layer of this on the rug and leave it for a day. Do not walk on it as you can ruin the rug this way. Vacuum it up a day later and your rug will start smelling much better.

Get a tree tea oil spray or make your own. This can be sprayed lightly over the surface of the wool rug and help it smell much better. You never want to get the rug too wet.

Lastly, consider professional cleaning. This is expensive, but it is very good at getting smells out of any type of rug.

Let's face it: there's something about an exposed brick wall that is really, really interesting. Even if you think exposed brick is a must-have feature in your next home, you're still probably not going to be able to find a wide variety of places that feature indoor masonry. On the off chance that you're actually able to find a place with brick on the inside, you might not be as lucky as you think.

There are all kinds of problems with actual brick walls, such as:

1. Crumbling mortar. If you think cracker crumbs in your bed are annoying, you'll hate seeing dust mixed with little pebbles of mortar all over your floors.

2. Funky smells. Old brick smells like...well, old brick. It's hard to describe what old brick smells like, but it's the opposite of fresh.

3. Creepy Critters. You know all that crumbled mortar on the floor? When it fell out of the brick, it left a bunch of tiny hotel rooms in the wall for spiders, ants and other creepy critters to shack up in. Ick.

The solution, of course, is to ditch real brick altogether. Instead, create an accent wall using a brick wall decal mural! We have three great patterns to choose from, each providing the look of exposed brick, but without all of the smells, crumbs and critters. Feeling edgy? Layer graffiti wall decals over the brick wall graphic and you'll have a truly unique wall.

With our brick wall decal murals, you can have exposed brick anywhere, any time. If you get sick of it, you don't need to call in a construction crew - you just have to peel it off of the wall!

There are a lot of people who say that they own black boxer dogs. Likewise, there are many backyard breeders who purport to be selling "rare" black boxer dogs. The problem? There are no black boxer dogs.

Perhaps that seems a little confusing. Maybe you have even seen a black boxer dog yourself, and you can't see how the above statement could possibly be correct. Well, it is a factual statement-there are no black boxer dogs. It is genetically impossible for a black boxer dog to exist.

What are these dogs, then?

So, this begs the question-what, exactly, are the black boxer dogs that backyard breeders are selling and that people say they own? What was that black boxer dog that you might have seen yourself? After all, these dogs look every bit like boxers...and you might be thinking that the coloring of these dogs looks like black to you.

As it turns out, these dogs are actually brindle boxers. Some people call them reverse brindle boxers. Nonetheless, they are brindles, not black boxer dogs.

A brindle boxer is one that has some type of fawn coloring (from a tan color to a dark reddish color)-but, on top of the fawn coloring are black stripes. Boxers can have any number or sort of black striping. They can even have such a quantity of black striping that they appear to be black with fawn-colored striping. The boxers who have this much black striping are often called reverse brindle boxers.

Some of these brindle boxers may end up with such a great amount of black striping that it can be quite difficult to find the fawn undercolor. Boxer experts know that there is fawn underneath; however, those who are uneducated about boxers naturally assume that these are black boxer dogs.

Why the deception?
When a backyard breeder sells dogs that he claims are "rare" black boxer dogs, he can sell them at a higher price than the price at which he sells his other boxer dogs. Since many backyard breeders are not quite ethical in a lot of their practices, this price gouging over a falsehood fits in with how these breeders function. Of course, not all backyard breeders are like this; however, any backyard breeder who claims to be selling a breed variety that doesn't exist in nature probably doesn't have the highest moral standards.

Why is it so impossible for there to be black boxer dogs?

It takes a simple knowledge of genetics to understand. Basically, every being-whether it is a mammal, like a dog, or an amphibian or anything else-has genes. These genes determine everything about the being, from skin color to the number legs to where the eyes are...genes control everything.

Genes control coat color in dogs, too. In order for a dog to be black, that breed of dog must contain the gene for having a black coat. Boxer dogs do not have that gene. So, there cannot be any black boxer dogs. It is genetically impossible for a boxer to have a black coat.

The Workmate 225 might be what's missing from your home shop. Its versatility makes it an especially ideal choice for those with limited shop floor space: Use it as a workbench, a bench tool stand, a vise, or a sawhorse; when the job's done, you can quickly break it down and store it out of the way. (Try that with a regular workbench!) Its portability is no small advantage: essentially, the Workmate lets you move your shop wherever you need it. The Workmate's legs fold under to provide the lower height and stability needed for use as a base for bench tools. Its all-steel construction and rubber feet ensure a stable, strong work surface that supports up to 450 pounds. And its independently adjustable jaws have two swivel pegs each, allowing you to hold almost anything. The Workmate 225 is Black & Decker's intro model. They also offer the Workmate 550, which is a little burlier, has a nice clamping device, and is more expensive. For light-duty, home shop use, though, the Workmate 225 is an excellent choice. --Tim Block
