I read an article that says new carpets sometimes have bacteria embedded in the backing that cannot be removed, and as a byproduct they produce butyric acid. It smells like a mixture of natural gas and cat urine. The carpet is brand new in my office at work, but I'm pretty sure the school won't fight to have it replaced. Does anyone know what will neutralize butyric acid?

I am a recent college graduate and I have fair credit, a ton of student loans, and everyday bills like rent, utilities, car, etc. Since my credit is below average will I be able to purchase a home so that I can invest what money I have into my own house and not towards rent? Would a mortgage company be willing to work with me? Where do I start???????

My husband takes ResQ1250 a very large fish oil capsule. He left some in a pocket and I did the laundry. Now the clothes that were with his shirt smell like fish oil. I've washed them 3 times and they still smell. Tried Febreeze but even that doesn't work. Any fishermen,or anyone else, out there who know how to get rid of this odor?

We just built a new home, and I need help on my paint choices. The home is on an open plan, with the kitchen/dining rooms being visible from the living room. I wish to paint my living room a Moss Green or Sage. I have hardwood floors, and my furniture will be a oak finish. My couch consist of sage, burgandy, golds and browns. My chairs will be a deeper green like a willow color. The dining room/kitchen is one area, and is directly off the living area, open floor plan. My floors are a beige/cream ceramic tile, cabinets are a fruitwood color, has a hint of a peachy look, and the countertops are a cream/beige mix with specks of a darker brown and black. I really want my living room to be sage or moss green, and would like my kitchen to be a peach or maybe terra cotta color, but do not want an eyesore, could someone recommend a color for my kitchen/dining area if I did paint my living room Sage. Also a good color for window coverings..curtains..drapes. I would really appreciate your help
