I was advised to get a dehumidifier, but I was wondering since I have gas heat and use a "humidifier" in the winter can I still use the dehumidifier as well? Thanks for all your help

I once read that the alergines you breath in the air can contribute to feeling weak all the time. I think that the mold smell in the old apartment I live in may be some cause to this. Is there anything I can do? I can't move so I need some alternative solutions. I have a low emune system already and I know this smell contributes to my feeling weak all the time. Thanks

While they were grouting it, my daughter walked across barefoot. [ Looks like body oil??? ] I'm afraid of taking the finish off, but have tried vinegar, all kinds of mild soap, nylon net scrubbers and Lysol tile cleaner full strength with no luck. Help!!!!!

My husband wants me to get a housekeeper because he thinks it would free up more of my time to pursue my business. I have two small children under the age of 3 and I'm not sure a housekeeper is what I need. My house is not dirty but it could be more organized. Basically we have too much stuff for the size of house we are in. We are building a new house to help out with this but in the meantime it's frustrating. How can I explain to him that a housekeeper does not organize what you need and what you don't need etc. they just clean the house. Or am I wrong?

I'm fed up with having crispy towels that feel like sandpaper! Unless I tumble dry (expensive) my towels come out stiff as a board and dead rough! Not nice, especially for my little kidlets!
