Q&A: PLASTIC LEAVES MARKS ON FURNITURE
Q: I had a pair of slipper socks that had rubber dots on the bottom. I put them on top of my wooden dresser and then put some clothes on top. I now have about six little circles on my good dresser. I have tried Goo Gone, furniture polish, etc., and nothing will take off that residue. Any suggestions?
A: Plastic can react with some lacquer finishes, causing some of it to be transferred to the finish, said John S. Wilkie of Revere Refinishing in Norton, Ohio. (330-715-8624 or http://www.revererefinishing.com ).
Try rubbing the marks with superfine (0000) steel wool and a furniture polish that contains natural ingredients, such as Guardsman, he suggested. If necessary, apply more polish as you work to keep it moist.
If that doesn't work, try automotive rubbing compound, he said.

WHAT'S NEW: DEEP DRIP WATERING STAKES
Green King's Deep Drip Watering Stakes get water where trees and shrubs need it.
The stakes direct water deep into the soil to the plants' roots, helping to prevent erosion and reduce water waste. They can also be used to fertilize trees and shrubs.
Each stake is driven into the ground and then attached to a drip emitter. A regular garden hose set to a very slow flow can also be used.
The watering stakes come in 14-, 24- and 36-inch lengths. They sell for $8.99 to $10.99 at http://www.deepdrip.com or 866-469-4330, and they're also available from some other online retailers.
