(By the way, be very careful to use only manufacturer-approved cleaning methods and products for your hardwood floors, or you could Dustin damage your floors and also void the warranty — no steam cleaners, for instance.) Anyway, the mop handle kept “telescoping” and shrinking the handle length, no matter what I did. I wrapped a thick rubber band on the handle, just below the ring where the mop handle began its slide, and the problem was solved, and of course the band can easily be adjusted. — Pat S., Front Royal, Va.

School officials say the affected stu- dent is severely allergic to the spray. It wasn’t immediately clear what type of reaction the student had or what chemical may have been involved.
