I have fairly old carpet but I'm stuck with it as I'm renting! Everything is always covered in dust and both my kids have asthma and allergies! I'm a single mom and I work lots so I don't have a lot of spare time! Help! Or one of you guys could come clean my house, lol!

1. It is tripping everything in the house and it has to be reset from the main fusebox under the stair,
2 There is nothing else on the circuit. it is a dedicated one.
3 I have plugged it into a seperate ring main and it still trips the main breaker not the individual ones.
4, The pump runs and it drains and tumbles, but when the water goes in and it tries to turn, thats when it trips. I am thinking that it is either the controller or the motor. Probably the motor because it completed a cycle on empty, when i tried a half load then it tripped.

Have a vote new machine or new motor and where can I get cheap ones of either as I have a teensy weensy budget!!

Brand names of what works best would be great. We're not talking just a little vomit... I worked 40 minutes to get it all cleaned up and it still smells. Thanks to all who help, and ten points will be awarded for the best answer.

Is it better to let the sponge dry out when not in use, or keep it in a glass of clean water?

The carpet is darker colored. There are two spots. One is a "blob" and the other spot is more spread out due to my attempt to clean it while it was still hot.

I always have trouble with bath towels. We do not have the option of drying them in the sun. We dry them indoors. How can we dry them so they do not get smelly within two days of use??

Thanks.

I have washed these pants twice and even added some OxyClean, and the smell of the paint thinner that was spilled on them is still there. The fabric is 86% nylon and 14% lycra. Please help!

To help the lady who deleted her question...

What has worked for EVERY stain I've worked on (blood, grass, ink, toner, catsup, mustard, feces, and unknowns) is this:

Purchase:
Bar of Dial soap, the orange one, not fancy, just their "regular" bar of soap
Spray N Wash or Shout. Either are fine.

I take the pre-wash spray and spray it on the stain, I then take the bar of soap and scrub both sides of the fabric, cross-wise and along the fabric's nap. I do it until it appears to be lifting, and quite frankly, I work it until it's nearly gone. This may take a while.

If you need any further abrasive needs, then use an old toothbrush, but usually the bar works out most of the stains.

Place it into the wash. After the spin cycle, look it over, if it is still showing, go thru the routine again. Do NOT put into the dryer until all traces are GONE. The dryer can permanently set the stain.

Good luck!

My husband did't know that my favorite cast iron skillet was in the oven waiting to be cleaned. He turned on the oven to take the chill off of the house one morning. Anyway, now everything is baked onto the skillet. I can't seem to get it off. Any suggestions on how to the baked stuff off of my favorite pan? I've tried boiling it out. Some of it has come out. Just not what has been baked onto the bottom.

Children had fun with a regular Bic blue pen on armrest. I tried a little of non-acetone nail polish remover but it only caused some of the brown color to come off. I also heard hairspray but I am not sure which kind, i.e holding, sheen.

At this point, I am desperate!!

Please help...

I know it comes in a tube. I'm afraid that the product itself will cause its own stain. Anyone here used it? Thanks, friends.
