what's the best ratio of water to bleach for renewing cotton whites that have accidently been "pinkened" in a mixed colors wash. I'm talkin' 2 full size towels, and several t-shirts etc...? Any responses welcomed. Pink underwear just doesn't become me.

I was given a deep freeze. It had been outside for some time with meat rotting in it. I have cleaned it with everything I can thing of and nothing removes the smell and the smell has tained anything I have placed in it.

I would like to have any input that will help. I would hate to get rid of it but I currently can't use it because of the smell.

Thank You in advance for the help

I'm installing laminate flooring and am planning on using my existing carpet padding (it's really thin). I'm installing the flooring on a concrete foundation. How important is it for me to use an underlayment/vapor barrier such as Visqueen? What are the consequences, both short and long-term if I choose not to use a vapor barrier?

Ive heard of a web site that sells cd`s of unusual sounds, like a cd just of a washing machine, or one just of a hair dryer. I would like to find out the web address as i have a friend who can only sleep with a hair dryer, or twin tub going. So ithought that a cd would be bettter than possibly setting fire to the house.

I have a set of Zig Posterman Liquid Chalk pens, waterbased pigment ink, for an office blackboard. They are supposed to be water soluble, removable with common household cleaner (Windex). This doesn't seem to be the case and I'm wondering what they use for a cleaner at Starbucks since they use liquid chalk markers on their boards. I'm also wondering if a solution with ammonia might do the trick or if it may be that my board is too porous. Any advice would be appreciated.

We just went from a large entertainment center with multiple shelves to a large projection tv with no entertainment center or storage. Any ideas on things that I may already have around the house that would make for attractive, useable storage for cds, dvds, VHS, and Playstation games that were displaced when we moved the entertainment center out of the room?
