Home Maintenance & Repairs: Any suggestions for replacing formica in bathrooms (3) plus bedroom bookshelves (3) other than granite?

We have a 50 year old home with formica on the bathroom counters and some of the bedroom bookshelves. I'm not a fan of granite and probably couldn't afford it. Is there something else that would be up-to-date?

Home Maintenance & Repairs: Toilet trouble

When re-doing our upstairs bathroom we had wanted a lo-flow toilet. 2 different stores told us they would not work well in an upstairs room so we bought one with the least amount of tank ...»
water they could recommend. We have been disappointed ever since. The toilet rarely flushes completely and often takes more than 1 flush no matter the "load." It does seem to help if we hold the handle down until it has "swallowed." My question is : should we replace this toilet since we are actually using more water or is there an adjustment on the float or something that can be done? **Also surprisingly it does not clog**

Home Maintenance & Repairs: How to measure for a bathroom sink?

I'm looking at buying a new bathroom sink but I'm finding the specifications a little confusing. Height, I understand. Width and Length seem to be the two most commonly used "names" for ...»
the other measurements. My main concern is what I would call the DEPTH. How far it protrudes from the wall after installation. Do you think that is what they are calling "Length"? It wouldn't be width, right? That would be the size from side to side. . .

    Locker room smells or urine smells? Regular bathroom cleaning and the suggestions above will ...»
    get rid of it and shutting the lid on the toilet will reduce it. But if it is a constant smell you need to check the wax ring and make sure it doesn't need replaced. Because just a tiny little bit of leaking will make the whole room reek of urine. And you don't want it to saturate the floor or sub- flooring.

    Cleaning bathrooms especially toilets you need to leave the cleanser in the toilet for at least 4 minutes to totally disaffect the toilet, then scrub rinse your brush off with the water in the toilet then spray the whole toilet down. Including the brush and set the brush under the lid so it will dry and wait a few minutes so the cleaner has time to work and disaffect. Wipe down with clean water and dry everything including the bottom and rim of the toilet. Turn the fan on in the bathroom also cuts back on smells a nice reminder might help... We went to Yellowstone they had restrooms everywhere. They had a note in each restroom to please close the lid on the toilet. Not one of those restrooms smelled. This might help. I have a professional cleaning business and have very seldom had problems with this unless the was leakage some place....or unless they are like my kids and I never see their restrooms until company is coming. : )
