Cleaning & Laundry - August 2006

I was pressing a pair of white pants and didn't realize there was a fabric softener sheet in between the pant leg. When I put the iron on it, the chemical in the sheet left a stain on the pant leg. Does anyone know how to remove the stain? Thank you

What are some good ways to wash dishes faster? It takes me forever to wash dishes. How are some ways to get it done quicker? I use a hand held scrub thing that holds the soap. I can't afford a dishwasher right now.

Some of my daughter's tight fitting T-shirts still have an underarm odor even after washing. I've tried the sprays and various laundry detergents, but some of them just still smell. And, yes, she wears an antiperspirant/deodorant. Any ideas?

I have two problems with the toilets in my apartment. The first is that we have very hard water and there is a water ring around the water level that I can't scrub away. Secondly, there are blue stains from the drop in that I use that have built up and I can't get rid of. Anyone know any tricks?

I got my t-shirt signed with a black Sharpie, and I know after a bunch of washes, it'll fade (or run?). Someone please let me know how I can get the autograph to last longer (ex: soak in cold water? put in dryer?)

I really like products that are dual purpose. I have a fiberglass insert tub (so I'm not sure if this would work on iron tubs). On a day when i go to the gym,so the tub is totally dry, i take about 1/8 cup liquid laundry detergent (right now, I like ERA) and use my scrub poof (like you get with Dove liquid cleanser) to rub the detergent all around the tub. When i get back that night, the detergent has dissolved the hardwater scum and it's real easy to scrub clean. I should probably do this every week, but I'm lucky if I get to it once/month. I used to buy scrubbing bubbles which works great and FAST, but not anymore. I also use my liquid laundry detergent as a pre-treater.

I've tried the spray to use after getting out of the tub, supposedly so the tub will stay clean, but it never worked. If i had a water softner, I'm sure it would help.

I am trying to remove a stain from a linen jacket which was caused when a mosquito spray product (alcohol based Deet) leaked onto it during a flight. The jacket says "dry clean only" but I wondered if there is any advice on making some preparatory attempts without ruining the jacket.

It is just dirt, not an oil or anything.
