Cleaning & Laundry - July 2006

My carpets always seem to feel sticky especially in humid weather. I have tried shampooing them, doing it with just warm water. Someone also told me to try baby powder and the vacuum it up. Any other ideas?????

I know there's a way to remove bleach stains but I don't remember. Can anyone help me?

I brought home a kitten for my son and before I knew it my house was infested with fleas. I've since bombed twice, washed everything possible, and even bought a flea spray, and spray down my carpets almost every day. I tried getting rid of the fleas on my cat but nothing seemed to work so we gave her back to her flea infested family. AND The fleas are still here! I can't get rid of them, and My son is now covered in flea bites which doesn't seem to bother him but breaks my heart to look at his little legs. I need Help! Any other ideas on how to get rid of these nasty things?

That would amount to more than 20$ per cleaning, add drying to that.

Hi! My husband and I just moved back to the US after four years overseas. While we were gone, our stuff sat in storage, including this mattress. No matter how I try, I cannot get the musty smell out of it. I have put baking soda on it and vacuumed. I have put scented carpet powder for pet smells/mold on it and vacuumed. I have sprayed the mattress down with antibacterial disinfectant spray and vacummed. I have Frebreezed and everything. Still, the mattress smells musty and dusty. It is so bad, that the whole room smells musty (thankfully, it is only a spare bedroom). And even worse, if you lay anything on the bed, like clothes, the smell transfers to the clothes.

I told my husband that the mattress has to go. He still thinks it can be saved. So I have come to you all seeking the answer.

Is the mattress beyond hope? Should I throw it out? Or can the mattress be saved? Do you have a remedy for the smell?

Looking forward to your ideas and answers.
Thanks...
T.

This furniture is very old and has over 90 years of being in the humidity. So I believe the mildew smell is deeply imbedded in the wood. How would you get to that!?

I have a refridgerater that is several years old, it still has that new plastic smell which then transfers to food. I keep fresh baking soda in it and have tried cleaning with several cleaners and vineger, but I can't get rid of it. Any suggestions?
