I have a 600 thread count king size bed sheet set that is totally crinkled after I pulled it out of the dryer. I dont iron a lot but this sheet looks soooo ugly when I put it on the bed. I would like to know how to iron to remove those creases. Or this there a work around? Any pointers will be appreciated as I dont have the time or the energy to take out the wrinkles off of this mammoth!
Thanks!

What is your favorite (preferably green) cleaning timesaver? For example, half a cup of vinegar boiled 1-2 minutes in the microwave then you simply wipe it clean!

I can buy so I won't have such terrible ring around collar stains no matter what I do? I used to buy white 100% cotton pinpoint shirts (Lands End) and oxford cloth shirts (JCpenney), and several shirts totally ruined after a few wearings. Now I have been buying Arrow brand Ultra Silk 55% rayon/45% polyester and these don't stain and turn severe yellow as quickly. I scrub neck and shoulders thoroughly to make sure I am clean before putting a shirt on. Laundering: I prespot with Wisk Stain Dissolving Power Liquid, then put in clothes washer of HOT water with Clorox Liquid Bleach...wash in washer then put in dryer for 2 minutes, then hang on hanger while damp. These white shirts are never ironed because they are always worn under a suit coat and don't wrinkle much. I have several shirts that are yellow and ruined around the collars. I have tried Shout also, doesn't help much.

I have a gorgeous white dress with navy blue trim for my 5 year old daughter. I didn't even get a chance to let her wear it, when I accidently spilled some juice on it. I washed it and now there are blue stains on it. I don't know if the stains are from the juice or if the navy blue bled on the white. It actually looks more like the navy blue color bled on the white more than juice stains. I don't know what to do to get it out. I don't want to throw it away, because it was kind of expensive and it is beautiful and worst of all, she hasn't even worn it out yet. If anyone knows anything I could do, please let me know. I tried washing it, but it didn't work.
Thanks

I have tried everything and it will not budge. This is because it is oil based. Any ideas

Wet baking pans have caused rust stains to appear on my Formica counter top. The stain seems to have "set", and nothing I try removes it. What would you suggest trying.

our fridge at work is really grubby and really needs a good clean (and guess who's the only mug that will do it?) so i was just wondering, what can i use to clean it that won't require much elbow grease and isn't too chemical? i've heard that bicarbonate of soda and washing up liquid mixed to a paste is a wonder solution for cleaning - has anyone tried this?

I Love the steamer but after a while the button started to stick after I plug it in. How can I contact the company to get it fixed? I only see the AS SEEN ON TV address. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm trying, unsuccessfully, to sell my Mom's motor home because my Dad smoked in it almost continually. My Dad just recently passed away from lung cancer and the motor home is too big for my Mom to maintain on her own. We've had it professionally detailed but to no avail. The smoke smell is still present. Does anyone else have any good ideas about how I can remove if not at least reduce this smell? Much thanks!
