I wash, rewash, have even tried baking soda. I don't know what else to try. It is mainly the towels and dishrags, they have a mildewy smell. How do I get rid of it?

I have some knick knacks and other decorative things. The only time I notice them is when it's time to dust them. Do you think they make the house cozier or just dustier?? Is there a fine line? I know this is dopey to ask, but I am born disorganized.

There's a glob of melted crayon stuck in my dryer and I need to know the best way to get it out without ruining my dryer. I thought about turning the dryer on for a few minutes to let the glob get soft, and then try to wipe it out, but I'm afraid that will make a bigger mess. There's also crayon marks on several items of clothes that were in the dryer with the crayon. How do I get these stains off the clothes without ruining the clothes? Is there any hope?

It's handblown glass, and it's just gotten to be too nasty to clean by hand at this point.

There's a trail of brown spots in the carpet near my door. They weren't there when we moved in, but have no idea what they are, my best guess is that it's from a leaky trash bag.

I've tried Resolve, Borax, and some random carpet cleaning product from Sears along with a lot of scrubbing.

Do you keep the winter coats, hats etc from the previous winter? Or do you assume the kids will get bigger and buy new?

Ok - here's the deal-

My bestfriend's cousin has been going through some health problems lately, and has been suffering serious depression. She has let her home go to the extreme extent, and I know it bothers her. She has tried to clean and organize many times, and it somehow piles up on her again.

She takes in stray cats, and has an indoor dog. The cats have made such a mess of her home. Some use the litter box and other go ALL over the floor, on the couch, kitchen counter, even the stove! :*( She loves the cats and will not get rid of them.

Her floor is so soiled, the beige carpet is now med-dark brown with filth. The cats walk on this, get it on there paws and walk all over the counters and leave nasty paw prints, everywhere. Her dog gets into the trash and spreads it all over. Her cats urinate and poo all over her place, on bags and boxes. She is in a rut, and can't seem to keep everything clean.

Any advice, how to you clean this extreme filth?

There are 4 apartments. Should I clean it myself weekly if no one else is, or back off and see if someone else does once in a while?

I have a GE stove and dishwasher that are only about 6 years old, but the fronts are impossible to clean. After only about 2 years a kind of greasy heavy film developed on the oven and dishwasher door (outside). I've tried regular lyson kitchen cleaner, 409, scrubbing bubbles, and orange glo (which made it much worse). Any suggestions?

I have about a ton of pennies in a tub down my cellar. Over time they have developed a sort of bluish colored substance on them. It's almost like some sort of mold. It's not that they're valuable or anything. I just want to cash them in. Does anyone know a good way to clean them? I really just want some kind of solution I can pour in the tub. I don't want to clean each one individually. Thanks in advance for all your answers!
