They smell horrible, I can't even describe the smell, it's almost like a mildew smell. They come out of the washer smelling good. I have comepletely cleaned the lint out of the dryer, so it can't be that. Any ideas??

Hubby says it's mostly from iron in the water (hence the orange color). Wondering if I run a cycle through with vinegar or something...

I have some pretty dirty trays mainly from spilled over liquids. I have tried some comet and what not, but it usually takes forever and I have a short time frame to get them clean before we move out. Any solutions that I might already have on hand?

I wish to know about dependability, repairs needed or if another brand is better rated. I've always had good luck with Whirlpool but I'm torn as to which is going to really give me more for my $.

I work about 44 hours per week. My husband is on active duty with the military and is not here to help (not much help when he is here honestly). I have a three-year-old and a five-year-old, both boys. I clean almost constantly from 5:30 in the morning until 9:00 at night. Many nights I am doing laundry at 9:15 or later. The house is still a complete mess no matter how much I seem to work at it. I also have to keep the yard mowed, etc.

I just don't have the funds to have someone come in to help me clean or mow. Any suggetions??

Actually, it's a visor, and it's filthy!! I've heard of these molds you can buy that keep the hat in shape while you wash it. Can you put it in the washing machine or the dishwasher? Would that make the visor part go soft? Otherwise, would dry-cleaning spray work?

I have this polar fleece blanket that somehow managed to get chewing gum stuck to it. As polar fleece is quite fluffy, the chewing gum has adhered itself very well. I've tried the usual stain removers and laundry detergent in an attempt to break it down, but it didn't work. Is there a safe, effective way to remove, break down or dissolve the gum? Without ruining my blanket? :)

I had beautiful expensive white towels that I had managed to keep snowy white for years. I have always washed with Tide Powder with Bleach. I bought a cheap package of white and tan dish towels at Wal Mart and made the mistake of tossing them in with my beautiful white towels. The towels came out off white. I wasn't too concerned as I can clean anything. I bought some liquid bleach and soaked overnight. Didn't do a thing! I don't get it as I have even washed my pale yellow towels with my white ones and the white ones stay snowy white. It was these three new tan dish towels. How do I remove this color transfer and get white towels back?
