Home Safety and your Automatic Garage Door Opener

If you're leaving home for a period of time, unplug your garage door opener and lock the door. Thieves may patrol the area with an opener of their own testing to see who's door opens. Another good idea is to reset the "factory" code on your opener to a personal one.

Rub a paste of salt and vinegar into the stain; leave it to stand for 30 minutes, then wash as usual.
