How do you get the bleach stains off dishes in the dishwasher? I have them especially bad on my glassware! Is there something you can put in the dishwasher? I have tried Jetdry. Doesn't work. Is there a household secret ingredient to this????

I am needing any ideas on how to keep my home smelling nice naturally. I have tried all kinds of fresheners that can be bought but nothing works for very long. We live in an area that stays damp and our house smells that way alot. I am currently trying vanilla soaked cotton balls, but that just isn't doing it. Any suggestions? Please only serious answers!!!

Just wondering if my washer is about to go out or if I need to use a different detergent. I use Arm&Hammer and have used it before, but maybe the product has changed recently? I know the dryer will filter out some of the hair and lint, but I hang dry my darks and delicates. Last time I washed a load of darks, they were almost gray from all the lint! And I want my clothes to be clean coming out of the wash!

I'm not a smoker, but I made the mistake of letting friends smoke in my apartment while visiting. Now my blinds are disgusting! The blinds came with the apartment. I want to get them clean so I get my deposit back when I move. I tried using a cotton rag and rubbing alchohol but it's a slow long process. Is there something simpler I should try? Should I just consider replacing them? No one will be smoking in my apartment again!

I have a basic question, even when I leave town when all my windows doors are closed there is still lot ofdust accumulated. I'm puzzled. I was out of the country for 2 months. When I left I cleaned my place spotless, closed all the doors and windows, quite air-tight. To my surprise when I came back, I saw dust everywhere, on top of my TV screen, phone, kitchen cabinets. I dont't see any air gaps in my doors, windows. I know this sounds silly, but there must be an explanation.

I have this white sweater with red letters on it. I have this black nasty stain on it, in the back wear the sweater is completely white. I have been trying to get it out for at least a year and nothing has worked. What's worse is I have no idea what the stain is. It looks like oil, but I don't know. I need to get it out, Please help. Also I was thinking can you just dye a certain area on clothing without the dye going everywhere?

A newly installed carpet got stained and had to be cleaned 3 times to remove the stains. considering that cleaning reduces the longevity of the carpet should I accept it as new carpet

I have a full time and part time job. I have 2 boys age 9 and 11 with ADHD. My husband is a minister and we are busy with church activities, including going out of town often. Our house looks like a tornado has gone through it, and it seems like we will never be caught up with anything. I need any help you could give me.

The stain is brown and is caused by colours from other shirts.

I used Fairy Power Spray to clean the inside of my oven and now the smell when I turn it on is awful despite several rinsings.

Surely it can't be "dry"? You must have to get clothes wet to clean them?
