Cleaning & Laundry - November 2006

I inherited a bunch of great stuff from my mother-in-law but so much of it is stained. Would love to be able to use it but it really needs a touch up first. Any ideas? Have tried just washing it but that's not enough.

I was wondering if anyone had some cleaning tips i could use to keep my home clean. It seems like all i do all day is clean, and when i am not cleaning for like 30 mins it seems like my home is trashed. So if anyone has some tips they like to share i would apperciate it.

I have 3 kids and a 2 story house with 2 1/2 baths, and hubbys not here to help me. So any ideas that could help me clean faster and more effectivly would be apperciated.

I want to use them in my work kitchen as functional, not decorative tea towels. I would like the days monday to friday printed or embroidered clearly, one day on each towel. I would like to find a retailer that sells these, I am based in the UK.

Many thanks.

A friend of ours is getting rid of their 2002 (whirlpool, I think) washer and dryer set. They need to get it out of their garage, so they are just charging $100. How much do they cost normally, brand new? It is in near perfect condition, just is 4 years old.

I had to repair an outside faucet and removing 5 bricks was required. When I replaced the bricks, the new mortar dried leaving a powdery stain on the bricks. I fluhed the bricks with water and used a scrub brush but the stain came back when it dried. Muric Acid was suggested to clean this stain and I'm curious as to how this works. Does the Muric Acid attack the dried concrete dust more than the bricks ? I've used Muric Acid on driveways but I've never used it on bricks.

So far, I have tried Mr. Clean and something called Aquascrub, both with limited success. Obviously, it will be best to use a sponge or soft cloth on the glass surface rather than a scouring pad!

I have a microsuede 100% polyester comforter , it says dry clean only. Do you think anything will happen if I machine wash it?

I have a regular comforter. It's a dark navy blue and I dont want it to lose color first off. But it's just a regular cotton comforter with a 500 thread count. How should I wash it?

Can I just put it in the washing machine on cold?

My boyfriend is flying from Europe to the U.S. tomorrow and there's a abbrasion (wear) mark (about 2 inches wide) on his leather coat from carrying a heavy backpack. This abbrasion has made the leather in this area lighter brown than the rest of the coat. I don't have one of those leather repair kits you see on TV. Has anyone ever tried using shoe polish on a leather coat? Or where in the states can you buy a leather repair kit. Please specify the store names.

And one more question. I have a white leather jacket with a blue pen mark. I've tried "Quick n Brite" and stain remover for pens. It doesn't come out. Any suggestions? If you scrub too hard you damage the leather.

One of my dogs got sprayed when she went out earlier, when she came in we bathed her and poured several cans on tomato sauce (that was recommended) on her one at a time and rinsed her good. She smells much better but I can't get the smell out of my house. Any idea of what I can do. Opening the house (cold as it is) hasn't helped and the smell is very strong.
Please serious answers only.
