Cleaning & Laundry - November 2006

Is there something I can mix up myself at home to pour down my drains to keep them cleaned and freshened? Like baking soda and lemon juice or something like that.

I use color-safe bleach on my colored laundry but I finally just can't stand it. What IS it? And why am I using it? How can bleach be color-safe? Doesn't bleach... bleach things? And if this stuff doesn't bleach things, is it really bleach? Is it doing anything other than giving me something else to spend money on? If I mixed it with any of the things you mix bleach with to get nasty reactions like chlorine gas - or spontaneous combustion - would it still do those things? Or is it a completely different product altogether and only CALLED bleach because the marketers know people will buy something called bleach?

I'm confused.

notice people around me sniffing and looking at me. Since I am a very clean person, and I shower, use deodorant and change into fresh clothes every day, I am puzzled and frustrated by this. I tried to come up with several answers-- 1) I have been getting this a lot when I am a little sweaty. I take 250mg. of Omega 3 fatty acids (fish oil) in a capsule every morning. Maybe, when I sweat this fish oil has a definite odor coming out of my pores? 2) I use Rogaine on my scalp every morning before I leave for work. Maybe This has an odor when I sweat? 3) I wear polyester pants to work (my job requires it) I wash them about once every 2 to 3 days. Polyester definitely has a tendency to stink. Maybe it's this? (When I take them off and sniff them they have no odor). Everything else is perfect and I can't imagine what my problem is. Does anyone have a clue?

I am in high school and live with my parents, both smokers, they refuse to quit even though they are killing me. I spray the shirt I am going to where the night before then again when I wake up with fabreeze. Today my Economics teacher said I stink, and that I am a smoker, in front of the class.
Please someone tell me how to get rid of it.
