Stubborn Faucet Fix

Trying to remove a stubborn faucet handle that's frozen in place with years of mineral deposits? Here's an easy removal solution. Working on new plumbing is easy because it hasn't yet had a chance to corrode. But mineral deposits and corrosion on older plumbing can be a real challenge -- and a knuckle-buster -- unless you know the time-honored Carey family secret for loosening up really tough stuck faucets. The solution is plain old white vinegar. Just wrap the frozen faucet handle with a vinegar soaked rag and keep remoistening it. You'll find in a day or two it will unscrew almost as easily as when it was new. And that's the On The House tip for today.
