I break 2 to 3 vacuums a year. I sew in 3 different rooms in house and i have threads everywhere. I bought a push restaurant type of broom to pick up most threads but there is still a lot left. The threads tangle on the brush rollers of vacuum. I clean these twice every time i use it but it will eventually freeze up and i burn up another motor. I now buy very cheap models since i break them. Any ideas on models or techniques on cleaning brush rollers of threads and dog hair?

I bought a red dress with black poka-dots on it, so I can be a sexy ladybug for Halloween this year. i know that I will never wear the dress again, so I wanna return it after my party. The dress touches my knee, and I want it at my mid-thigh.

How can I make it shorter for just one night, without doing any damage to the dress, so the store will still take it back???

I kind of wanted to try them but if they don't work then of course I don't want to buy it for nothing. My youngest thinks my walls are for his art
( he's 2 ) and I wanted to know if those thingys would work on that.

Winter is coming, we can't leave the windows open for very long time and washed clothes won't dry easily if we just hang them out in the room. What is the best way that minimises the drying time? Shall I hang them out next to the radiator, window, etc.? What works for you?
O, and we don't have a washer-drier or similar.

I have a maroon basketball uniform with white stripes. After (even careful) washing, the stripes are now pink. My daughter does not like being the only one on the team with pink stripes. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get them white again?

Has anyone ever purchased this product? It is usually sold by a door-to-door sales person. I am wondering how well this product works. Don't send me a link to their site b/c I've already been there.
