Cleaning & Laundry - December 2006

Are Oreck vacuums a good buy? I need a good light (as in weight) vacuum cleaner that works well on bare floors and cleans pet hair from carpets. I've tried Dysen but it weighs a ton! Any suggestions for other vacuums? Thanks!

Tried using sugar soap and a sponge, then used a dish cloth but it's hard to get a good angle when your up a ladder.

I am interested in making my own laundry detergent and fabric softener. Does anyone have any experience with this? Do you have direction on how to do so? What about stain removal. I have found that buying detergent and the other stuff is so expensive and we go through a lot of it, so if I could make my own it would help out a lot! Thanks to all in advance for answers : )

I have a great, solid dark wood table. It has a finish on it and when I dust it I use Pledge with orange oil extract. Looks great after... but beyond dusting, I sometimes need to really clean it. Food and beverages leave residue that Pledge and a paper towel can't get out. What should I use?

I have a timbuk2 cargo tote bag ( http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/retail/catalog.htm?categoryId=33 ) and i accidentally left one of my blue ballpoint ink pens uncapped and it totally scribbled all over the bottom of the bag. The bottom of the bag's material is "waterproof liner". It's not clothlike.

The company suggests throwing the bag into a washer/dryer to clean it but the stains didn't come out.

Please help me with ideas! The bag was very expensive. How can i get those marks of of the inside of the bag?

my husband likes to use hot/warm water for washing and warm water to rinse. I am worried that will waste too much energy. He said it will clean better that way. I do not believe it.

i want to buy a washer and dryer that will do the following:

1.) wash and dry my king size comforter
2.) is stackable
3.) is front loading
4.) energy effecient

I bought the LG 4.0 Cu. Ft. Control Center Front Load Washer, at best buy, and they said it would fit, in the stackable position, in my tiny closet thats about 27 1/2" wide (in the doorway), 82" high, and i dont remember how deep it is. but it couldnt be installed because the delivery man said it would only give him 5 inches to get around it in order to install it, which obviuosly isnt enough sapce to squeeze through. my question is, is there a washer and dryer thats stackable, but is thinner that say 24 inches? or do i have another option? the LG washer i bought was 27" wide.
