My fiance and I share a two bedroom apartment with another girl. She is very messy and will almost never help with cleaning. I've come to accept that she is probably never going to participate in any real cleaning, as I've tried many different ways. However, I want to know if there is any who has ideas of how I can convince her to at least keep things clean and not leave areas a mess.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I live in a large apartment complex and I rent a dryer from an appliance warehouse. The dryer seems to be in great condition and it gets very hot, but my clothes still take 2-4 cycles to dry, sometimes more. Even small loads won't dry in one cycle. I clean the lint trap out between cycles. I called the appliance company and they sent someone out who claimed it was the vent that needed to be cleaned. He said the dryer was in perfect condition. My apartment complex came in and said they used a leaf blower to clean the vent. It still isn't drying properly. Suggestions?

Hi all. Trying to get dog smell out of clothes & blankets. I've tried several commercial odor removers (Unique Pet Odor & Stain Eliminator, Tide w/Febreze, OxyClean in various forms), but nothing has worked. Have read suggestions left earlier on YA as well. Hubby has suggested using Pine-Sol in wash, claims his mother used this successfully. Can't ask, as she's deceased. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

Does any one know how to get ink off a white wall? Preferebly a "home-remedy" ? My 3 yr got really happy with an ink pen. I should have known she was quite for a reason. (roll eyes) If anyone has any good ideas let me know. I prefer not to have to re-paint but I'm thinking about it. All ideas appreciated! Thanks!

I've tried everything! Soap & water, bleach, and other stain/cleaners but nothing is taking off the ash above my fireplace. I have white walls, and don't want to paint to cover it up.

What is the difference in thread counts? I know what it technically means, but why is one better? Are the higher thread counts more comfortable, what? Thanks.

When I remove dark blue or navy cotton clothing from the dryer, I occasionally find spots the size of a quarter which look like oil spots (or wet spots). I use Tide laundry detergent and have tried various kinds of fabric softeners but still see the spots from time to time. The spots disappear after a few more washings.

Any idea what causes this?

My favorite pair of khaki colored pants got washed in a load that had brand new blue jeans in it. They have been washed and dried in the dryer. They are now slightly blue tinted. Help!

Basically mild wear and tear, with a few chocolate stains.

Are there any compact hand held models?
Ease of assembly important as well!

Thanks.
