Something happened with a load of laundry, resulting in blue stains from my liquid fabric softener being left on several articles of clothing. I did not put the clothes in the dryer, as I did not want to set the stain. Is there an effective way to remove fabric softener stains?

My bedroom is on the second story of my town house. The carpeting was ripped out and now there is only ply wood flooring. Can I stain it to make it look richer or paint it to not make it look so "woody"?

Leatherjackets are the larvae from daddy long legs(Crane Flies) They hatch eggs in the autumn and develop into little worm type things and they eat your grass roots thus leaving you with bare soil then they turn into daddy long legs and the whole process starts again They are called leatherjackets i have been told because their skin is so tough oh and their not nice like a leatherjacket you would wear they are horrible little beasts

We are having new carpet installed in our family room next week. Is it possible to somehow run an electrical cord under the carpet to a reading lamp that is near the center of the room (about 5' from the nearest wall socket)? Presently, the lamp cord is partially tucked under an area rug that sits on top of the carpet. But we plan to get rid of this area rug once the new carpet is laid. We don't want someone to accidentally trip over the cord.

I know it would be cheaper to make myself. But im a young woman with no knowledge of concrete or cement making and laying.

I am weighing options on how to get a new tub from my basement to a second floor bathroom. My house is over 100 years old and the stairs to the second floor have two 90 degree turns. I think the best option is going through the second story window, but i don't know the best way to lift it up that high. Any ideas?

I planted a few Green Giants, which are about 5' tall, last fall and they have slowly turned brown and yellow. We're in a zone 6, but it's been a cold and really wet winter. We used some packaged manure when planting, could that have caused the problem? Am I just worried too soon and once the weather is warm will they come out of their funk?

we have just moved to a house with a good size but neglected garden, and although i don't have any gardening experience i would love to learn. we have started out by cutting right back some massive leylandi on one side, down to about 5ft. they look pretty rubbish although we now have loads more light in the garden. the other side of the garden borders our neighbours gardens with a wooden picket style fence about 5 ft high, and some very small shrubs. the ground here is very very wet. i would like to plant something that will eventually grow to about 5-6ft and be thick enough to bush out and hide the fence. ideally evergreen but maybe something that will flower yearly? i'd maybe like some thing tall at the back with something shorter in front so it looks really colourful in summer? any advice on what would be suitable to plant would be much appreciated. i live in lancashire, uk, if thats relevant. thanks

I am a really big pack rat. I am just cleaning out my room and I have found drawings and notebooks full of poems and worksheets from when I was like in 3rd grade. I don't want to keep them, but yet I do. I think it is really cool to have stuff from a really long time ago and I'd like to look at them in about 20 years or so, but they are taking up space in my room and now there are just a bunch of notebooks in my room. Do you think I should get rid of them?

Things like the tops of sippee cups, and re-useable storage containers and their lids. Also plastic juice glasses get turned upside down and full of rinse water. How do I avoid things like that?

I live in South Carolina. I want something that is going to be the best bang for the buck as far as looking nice year round, possibly flowering in the spring, summer, or whenever. This will be a main focus to the front of my home. I also would like something that I can plant flowers around, like Black-Eyed Susans. Any suggestions?
