In 1996 the City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation made available through a municipal code Sec. 64 program called the Sewer Service Charge Relief Program. This program allows residential and commercial property owners the right to purchase a second water meter or water sub meter from DWP. The purpose of this sub water meter is to meter actual usage of water brought into the building or installed on the irrigation waterlines for calculation of the sewer service charge (SSC). This SSC charge is currently estimated if no water sub meter has been purchased. The savings can be as high as 80% off of the sewer service charges located on page two of a Los Angeles Department of Water and Power bill. I called California Utility Services 800-400-1727 and they did it all for me. I am now saving $130.00 every bi-monthly bill. They were professional and reasonable.

Cleaning microfiber furniture can be a bit tricky, as it can be easily damaged. There is usually a tag on it that will say S for 'solvent based cleaner' or W for 'water based cleaner'. Generally, water on microfiber will leave water rings. Something that quickly evaporates is almost always the way to go. If it is just the smell that needs removed then the product Febreze would work just fine, sprayed in a fine mist over the furniture. Sprinkling baking soda over the area of concern is an option as well.
Well, my parents put polytex on the ceiling in the lounge room, dinning room and kitchen. It was starting to peel in places. The best way I've found to remove it is with a chisel. A paint scraper is too flexible, you want something more solid. And a heat gun helps a lot too.
But I must say be prepared for a long, slow process. But, it's worth it. Good luck.
