I notice that when I wear it, sometimes I find small "oil" looking stains on it. It's not from the dryer (obviously), and the shirt didn't have any stains on it prior to washing. I dont dump the detergent or softener directly on the clothes - I pour it slowly under the water flow. Any suggestions? I've ruined about 10 shirts now.

Other than making a mess of a wash cloth, does anyone have suggestions on how to get a peanut butter jar clean, quickly, and easily.

I already asked this question but must have put it in the wrong catogory because the people who answered did not know what they were talking about. I had a new rolled up carpet stored in the garage while I rehabed a house. Unknown to me about 2 gal of antifreeze was spilled on the floor in the garage and the carpet soaked it up. It was there about 1 month. I discoved this when we went to install the carpet. The antifreeze evaporated but left an oily feel and a bad smell of antifreeze. What is the best way to get the smell out and the oily feel off?

my retarded boyfriend bought a dirt devil featherlite vacuum, but i don't think he realized he purchased a remanufactured one. It wored fine for a hot second, until the belt broke. and i have replaced that belt like 5 times, and then i noticed the thing i put the belt on was really hot and as soon as i turned the vacuum on it broke and it was smoking! What the hell could it be? I'vve spent like 20 bucks on belts and if i buy anymore it would be the price of the vaccum, any ideas of what it could be?

I have a big fluffy Wilsons leather jacket, I really like it..but last year my cat decided to pee on it.

It smelled horrible so we stuck it in a garbage bag and planned on taking it to the cleaners to see if there was anything they could do. Well, it ended up just getting shoved away with the Christmas stuff which is how I found it today.

There is no visible damage to it, but it still smells. The coat says to take it to a "special leather cleaner only" ..what does that mean?

Can my coat even be saved?

I've been able to find Ionic air purifiers that don't need replacement filters, but I have not been able to find a HEPA air purifier that does not need a replacement filter. Not only do they require replacing the filter but the filters are very expensive.

I vistited a friend today only to find them rather distraught about a blocked toilet, infact my friend was trying to unblock it by prodding it with a clothes hanger !!? It turn out she had no other means of tackling the problem, it was a real mess full to rim (not just with water.....) she had got on some really long rubber gloves so I asked her why she didn't just reach in and try to pull out the blockage, basically she was too much of a wuss/too hungover from the party that caused the problem.......to attempt this, me being the helpful friend I am borrowed the gloves, I didnt think about checking the gloves, I put them on and put my hand into the brown water I pulled out the blockage (a full roll of paper rammed down there) then took off the glove and realised I might as well have done this bare handed ! When I examined the glove it only had a tiny hole in the palm I cannot believe how much sh*t leaked in. Has this happened to anyone else or was I really unlocky ?

My Christmas tree fell on me while I was moving around it. I noticed I had tree sap on my jacket after I had repositioned the tree. I have heard of using petroleum based solvents, but I am afraid that this may harm my jacket. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
