My apartment has really hard water. It leaves marks all over the toilet, in the sinks, on dishes, everywhere that sits in water for any amount of time. The pot I use to boil eggs in is white inside from the hard water buildup. It's almost impossible to get this stuff off, especially in the toilet with the flimsy toilet brush. I've tried CLR, which helps a little, but it still requires an insane amount of scrubbing to get the mineral buildup off anything. Anyone have any ideas for getting everything clean?

My boyfriend's shoes absolutely STINK to the point that if he doesn't put them in the closet his ROOM stinks!! I'm oing to visit him in a few days and I want to get rid of the odor!! I want to wash his sneakers in the washing machine with a load of towels and let them air dry.. Do you think that should do the trick? What about his boots? They are steel toe leather boots so i know the washer is a bad idea... but I dont know if Febreeze is strong enough (I'm telling you folks... it's BAD haha) any ideas?

There are a lot of mildew growing on the walls of the room which I hang my clothes to be ironed. Will it spread and stain my clothes too? Should I re-paint the room? Would that help?

I know I can wash it with hot water and then dry it in a dryer, but will be safe: it's a 100% cotton undershirt which I painted with paint pens. I want to make it smaller, but will that risk having the paint run?? If the paint runs, not only will I need a new dryer, I will lose a very personally important shirt, and I don't want to do that!

Please help if you can!

The spill happened about four months ago, but I never got around to cleaning out the stain. It is a white A-strap tank. Any help is appreciated.

Really annoyed with myself as last year I eventually found the solution to cleaning our Georgian windows which seem to be smeared with wax from the shutters (oops! gave away annual clean only) - tonight have tried soap and water, vinegar, window cleaner spray, bleach,curses and may even resort to prayer, alchemy,voodoo...naaah. Very busy with work and family demands and can't take the small-town-biddy-brigade-judgemental-tsk-tsks (in looks only - cowards) from those who fill their empty days with polishing brasses and cleaning windows for perks of gossip and snooping as well as being nearer to you-know -who - Mr G.
Any ideas??

I spilled soda on the faux fur trim around the hood of my coat. It detaches and now I do not know how to wash it. The tag on the coat said to remove the fur to wash the coat. Now what?

Is it better to wash sheets and towels in very hot water as opposed to washing in cold water. Does cold water really rid the items of germs and clean more effectively......thanks

We just moved and have iron water. How can I get my white clothes clean? I wash in hot water using bleach as well as liquid Tide. This used to work, until we moved. Can not afford a water softener at this time.

I was given a SUPER COMFORTABLE couch that was owned by two sweet old ladies. One of them was a smoker. I plan on buying a couch cover to match my homes decor. However, the couch set smells horrible. I steam cleaned it, and sprayed febreeze on it. But the next day the odor was back, not as strong, but it didn't completely go away. I need to do something to take the odor out. Any suggestions ???
