The paint has spreaded, causing my shirt to turn greyish colour. I soaked it in fabric soap but it doesn't really work. Can I use alcohol to remove it?

I've always had trouble ironing, so I only dry-clean or I leave it too long and it looks crappy. I don't know how, but I always am getting my pants dirty. I am always in business attire but dry cleaning is very expensive in Sydney. I also don't have a lot of time, so my idea is to machine wash, hang, and iron... How does that sound, and how should it best be done.

I left all of my dance outfits (leotard, ballet shoes, tights, etc) in the same CLOSED bag as a subway sandwich for 3 months. i forgot about it and found today. there is a nasty, horrible stench left on it, and i've already washed it 3 times and sprayed a bottle of febreze on everything. what can i use that is cheap but will get the odor off of everything? otherwise will have to buy new stuff that will cost me hundreds of dollars! HELP MUCH APPRECIATED!

Hi,

I bought some new blue jeans and washed it in cold water (using Ultra Tide with Downey fabric softener included in the detergent) along with my new hoodie (which is 20% polyester and 80% cotton)...and I think the blue from the denim stained my brand new hoodie with blue streaks!!! Anyway to remove the blue stains?? It's ALL over my shirt. Thanks!

The hoodie is brown with very intricate black detailing. I've heard that using commercial stain removers like "Shout" will actually bleach my brown hoodie?!?!

what to do? It's a very expensive hoodie that I've only worn twice!

Thanks a lot!

My husband is a security guard, and his uniform is light grey. He had an ink pen in his shirt pocket that leaked. HE washed the shirt and put it in the dryer. I think the stain has set. Is there any way to get the ink out?

I'm contemplating on getting my carpet cleaned house cleaned before I sell my house. Are carpet cleaning and housekeeping services worth the money, or can I do just as good a job myself? I don't want to pay someone to clean, and then end up having to clean where they left off. Also, how much should I expect to pay to have my 1,800 sq.ft. house cleaned and its carpet cleaned? Thanks a million!

sometimes i wear running/walking shoes without socks and it feels soooo good. other times it doesnt feel good and im glad i have a sock. but i only have one pair of shoes and im wondering if wearing without socks is a bad idea? does anyone else wear them without socks and why? also, i dropped my shoes in the creek and sometimes they are soaked from wet grass. being barefoot in my shoe could create problems and there could be germs. would you suggest lysol, or.. what other form of cheap simple stuff would u use inside your shoe to temporarily kill germs, or do u think its not necessary - maybe a washer machine wash now n then?

I have four cats and most of my house is carpeted. I've had horrible luck with vacuum cleaners. Should I break down and get a high end vacuum cleaner? (No, vacuum cleaner salesmen, Please.)

How do I get skid marks out of underwear? is bleach the best bet? or maybe something you have tried works.

I have become very diligent about wiping thoroughly throughout the day. I carry wipes with me everywhere, but what's in the past is in the past, and I'd like to clean out skid marks so my girlfriend does not see them.

i don't know how it got there but there was some thick, super glue on my car (outside). it looked like someone squeezed the glue out of a tube or something. i tried to wipe it off with paper but then i couldn't remove it completely. i tried to wash off with water but didn't work. and now there's a thin layer of glue on the car which doesn't look so good. is there any way i can wipe it off clean?
