Cleaning & Laundry - September 2006

I have just polished some brass canisters. They tarnish very easily. Is there something someone can recommend that I coat these canisters with the keep them from tarnishing? I use brasso to clean them and they are really shiny now. I want to keep them looking that way.

My Daughter got silly putty on a flannel blanket she has and didn't know it. I've tried to wash it but it wouldn't come out. It was just gooshy, and worked it's way into the material. Now it is partially dried. Any ideas on how to get it out? What to use to pretreat it?

I have a black ceramic cook top stove. I had milk boil over and burn onto the burner. The normal cooktop cleaner is not working to take it off. Any suggestions on how to clean it?

In my bathroom it has gone orange-ish (for some weird reason). I've tried scrubbing it wih normal detergent but it hasn't helped. I don't want to re-grout it.

I tried Resolve and elbow grease, and it lightened it significantly, and the pattern helps to disguise it, but I can still tell it's there. Is there any known household cleaner or Heloise trick (OK, I refuse to try vinegar if that's the case!) that may remove it further?

I have two coated leather sofas, in cream. They don't belong to me as I live in a company apartment and are very expensive. They have quite a deep grain to them and are getting quite grubby. I have tried colourless shoe cleaner and kitchen cleaner (!) Nothing gets them quite as new. Any ideas?

I usually clean the toilet once a week with pinesol or clorox bleach. No tablets that turn the water blue or anything.

I really do want to find someone to clean my house. For free. I'm sure they're out there somewhere. And I'm sure it will take a lot of looking to find this special individual.

Why is it against regulations? What is the problem that this question creates? What gives?

I have a Hoover Wind Tunnel upright vacuum. I simply love this machine as it takes care of the mess made by three (shedding) corgis, a family of four with assorted guests and all the icky stuff tracked in from life in general.

Anyway, I always empty the cannister after each use and even go as far s wiping down the filter with a papertowel as well. This gets most of the built up dirt off, but there is always some gunk left in the top of the filter folds. Does anyone out there know if it can be washed or what I should do to keep it in good shape??

This isn't just a small ink mark. My pen was about to run out of ink and spewed a big blob of black ink about the size of the head of a thumb tack, onto my beige-with-black-pin stripes pants suit. I think the material is poly/rayon and the pants are lined with beige fabric.

I have used aerosol hairspray successfully in the past, but not on a stain this large. I'm not sure hairspray will do the trick this time.

I there hope?

My son is 3 months old and up to this point I've been doing his laundry seperately from mine. Do I still need to do this? I don't much care, I suppose, whether I use Dreft or adult detergent like Tide, but I'm tired of doing extra loads of laundry, when his clothes could easily fit in with mine. Should I worry about formula stains from his clothes getting on mine?

Calcium deposits are beginning to show (hard water problem). Is vinegar and water acceptable, or is there a special cleaner for gold-plated stuff?

This morning I found that my huge new Sam's Club bottle of laundry detergent fell off the shelf and exploded all over the laminate floor in my laundry room. Now I have 1/2 inch of detergent all over my floor. What is the best way to tackle this kind of mess?
