My husband's skin seems to stain his shirt collars, our towels, pillowcases, anything it touches, leaving a bleach-like mark that ruins the fabric. It literally bleaches the color out. He uses no chemicals on his skin, no hair dye, hair products or anything that I can think would cause this to happen. HELP!! He has to buy new shirts every 4 weeks, and I can only use white towels and sheets (boring).

Is that new shower cleaner spray"Scrubbing Bubbles" safe to use around pets? I've not heard anything about it and I saw from reading on here that it's expensive.

I have a forced hot water boiler via tankless coil hot water heater. Water has heavy iron and other typical minerals. Screen on hot water side of washing machine CONSTANTLY plugs up. Already double cartidges on domestic cold before boiler, I know I should get a softener system, but are there any other COST EFFECTIVE options? Does a cheap in-line screen (near washing machine)or filter system exist that can reliably withstand 170Deg. heat? Standard cartridge filter systems will fail on hot water systems. I just want to stop doing weekly maintence on the Washing machine. I've almost worn out the plastic inlet on it, which means a $100 soleniod replacement when you strip that out! Any Suggestions welcome!!

I bought my house about a year and a half ago, it used to be a on a slab, but a previous owner lifted it up and put a crawlspace under it. I noticeda few months later there was a soft spot in one of the bedrooms and I went into the crawlspace to check it out. I was able to pull the subfloor apart with my hand. I had a home inspection and somehow the inspector missed this.(I did not notice any mold, and have inspected it every few months and have seen none). The plywood on top of the subfloor is not that thick, and when you walk on it it bends. I do not plan to stay in this house for more than 4-5 years and would like to avoid spending thousands of dollars to fix it, but I am afraid that the next owner will hire a better home inspector who will catch this and I will have difficulty selling the house. I am open to any and all suggestions. Thanks

My room is the only room that gets dusty in like 3 days. I always vacuum my room every week and i am also very neat and clean. My dad says its because i always leave the door closed but my sister leaves the door closed more than me and her room is dust free and she never cleans it she cleans it maybe once a month, and also my parents room is dust free too and then never dust it or anything and vacuum maybe once evry 2 weeks. Its mostly my tv that gets the most dust like really thick and my parents and my sisters room is nothing on there. I dont know whats wrong with my room im the only one that has to dust my room liek every 3 days and vacuum it liek every week. I have the windows shut because my dad said dust can come in through there, maybe i should open it once in a while? Please help?

Several jade plants at our office have a weird sort of flaky white film on the leaves. It has cracks in it... not sure if the cracks are the film, or the leaves themselves.

We don't think it's mildew since the office is extremely dry, and it's more like mica flakes than white powder.

They probably don't get enough light, but could that be the cause?
