I purchased an old wool, floral patterned, pile area rug (approx. 8' x 10') at an auction. It needs cleaned and there is not a professional cleaner in my area. Can I clean it with a traditional steam cleaner using cold water? If so, what about the beater bar? Do I need to diconnect that so I don't fuzz the wool? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

I'm on my second white plastic hot water electric kettle and I can't figure out why there's always this ugly sediment in it. I only use bottled spring water. Is that scale? Lime?

I don't want to cook if they look like that. everything will stick. I hate that. He offered to buy new ones and start over but lately I just dont have the energy because of my job and being pregnant. Is there an easy way for us to get more organized and schedule whos doing what and on what day?

We have a small water boiler (electric kettle), which started to form some gross looking stuff in the bottom (on the heat element). I tried to wipe it out, but it doesn't work. It almost feels like some magnetic stuff. And the texture is kinda like sand/rock. Any idea on how to clean it?

My husband and I have a large 2 bedroom apartment in Hoboken (near NYC). He has had his housekeeper for years, and she has been cleaning our current apartment for 3 years before I moved in. We pay her $100 per week - she comes once a week and does a fabulous job. Since we pay her a lot already, we decided that we wouldn't raise her pay (and she hasn't asked for a raise either) and instead just give her a bigger bonus. There really isn't that much more work for her to do since I have moved in - I do quite a bit of the day-to-day cleaning myself.

Does this sound okay, or should we consider giving her a raise, perhaps next year? How much of a bonus should we give? We were thinking about doubling what is usually given, or perhaps give her a couple of extra bonuses throughout the year.

The Laundry bag (Lingerie bag) is made of Nylon mesh. This I'm planning to use to wash delicate items like Socks and other inner garments.

We got hit by the Kirbyman today. My wife was impressed, I was not. At least not the pricetag. Anyone actually own these? Tell me what you think.
