## Resource

Spring cleaning gets a smarter, faster makeover with tips from a viral cleaning expert who shares the tricks that actually make a difference, from ceiling fan hacks to the right way to clean your walls. Then, MS Now anchor Chris Hayes takes us inside his off-the-grid woodland retreat, and his all-in obsession with clean energy. Plus, in House Therapy, a vintage toilet sparks a full-blown standoff, and we help settle whether to restore or replace. In This Episode You’ll Learn: * How to fix stripped cabinet hinge holes so they actually hold. * What to do after uncovering an old (and possibly unusable) fireplace. * How to stop squeaky floors without tearing up your whole house. * Why wood trim can change color over time, and what you can (and can’t) do about it All of this, plus we’re answering your home improvement questions at 877-This Old House Radio Hour! — That’s (877) 864-7460.
