Tip of the Day



Sink sprayer stuck?

Got a haunted sink sprayer hose that you have to jiggle, to get free and pull out? Today, you’ll learn how to stop under sink gremlins that snag and hold your sprayer hose. Here’s how: From deep within the Carey Brothers vault of “Hanging around with no interference” we bring ways to improve sprayer hose clearance, indeed. Says here, when a sink sprayer hose binds when you go to pull it out, it’s probably catching on the water line “shut-off” valve knobs down below.

Secure where needed with tape and you’ll have taken care of the under-sink goblins and gremlins!
