Cleaning & Laundry - October 2006

I was going up to the roof of my apartment complex when I stepped into some kind of black stuff they had placed on the floor. After I managed to get my shoes separated from the, what I can only assume to be, tar; I went downstairs and started searching the internet for advice. However, this seems to be the best place. Please help, they are a VERY good pair of shoes!

OK, I have this dilemma that I run across at least once a month when I clean my house. What is the correct sequence for vaccuuming and dusting? Do you dust first, then stir up more dust when you vacuum or do you vacuum first and then push the dust on the floor when you are dusting. Help!!! I just want to do it all right.

It is a baptism dress with ribbon and turned yellow from being in the bag for 10 years. It was dry cleaned 10 yrs ago and now yellowed in the collar.

My sister gave me a nice leather couch which we really like the looks of. Her dog used to sit on one side of it and I have not been able to get the smell out of it. I used just a generic leather cleaner. Anyone have any better ideas???????? Thanks, Craig

i put some of those deodorizing cloths in it and set it for ten minutes.
is this okay? I just want to get rid of the nasty odor.

When the construction workers were remodleing our bathroom, they left a little bit of water in the bottom of the bathtub and a bunch of nails in the water, so there is a lot of rust there. Does anyone know any good formulas to get it off? Thanks.

OK. Someone out there has got to have a secret to keeping marble countertops looking nice and clean. I'm cleaning someone's house and they have them in the bathroom and I guess since marble is very poreous anything that sits on it creates a water spot of sorts?! Solutions anybody??
