We moved in a 7 year old house and the bathroom ceramic tile floor white grout won't come clean. We've tried bleach, oxyclean, a steamer and a lot of cleaners that people said would work, but no help. We've let it soak and brushed it. If I have to dig the grout out and redo it, what's the easiest way? I've heard a church key works. Yes, it's sanded grout. If I can get it clean and seal it, my wife might be happy with it.

My housekeeper threw my manual book away. The brand is Whirpool. No 1 is empty. No 2 has some kind of funnel in the middle. No 3 has a large-holed drainer. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

My son decided to pour the entire jug of DREFT (baby laundry detergent) on my living room carpet. What is the best way to clean the carpet? Should I keep pouring the water on it and vacuum it until all the detergent is gone? How long would that take? Or should I call carpet cleaner professional instead...

I took everything out and made sure the spinner was balance. I also tried to start at the beginning of delicate, permapress and regular cycles, but when I pull the start knob, the washer only hums with no other response. I also tried to shake the water tubes to see if anything was backed up in there but they seem fine. I am not in a financial situation to call a mechanic so what do I do?

Our room was originally painted with Behr faux finish paint... We decided that we were going to change the room color it was a burnt orange now Burgundy so there was no issue with the color covering the old well it is not going on well and is peeling like it does not want to stick should we have primed first the faux finish had a glaze you had to use on top is that why it would not be sticking??

The green rug transferred color to the cream colored carpet. The area of the stain is about 3x3'. I am guessing traditional spot carpet cleaners won't be so effective on a large area. How can I clean this myself? Do I need to hire a professional?
