I have a den that was converted from a one-car garage, but it has no insulation. How do I go back in and add insulation?

What can I use to clean old wood paneling? I’m very allergic to most chemical smells, but I need something that will do a good job of cleaning.
Donna
I live in a house that’s 125 years old with wood windows. The windows have gaps all around them. On windy days, you can feel the cold and the breeze all around. Last year I used spray foam insulation and it worked great, but getting it off was a huge mess. Can you suggest a better product?
Chuck
I’m taking up my old carpet and putting down new carpet, but discovered the wood they used underneath is that type that is water soluble. What kind of sealer should I use on that?
Julia
I have a garage door that when it snows, the snow comes in around the door. What can I put on the door to stop this?
