I have some shirts (cotton/poly) that I use for work and some of them are very faded and do not look good. I wanted to try to use color dye on them but I don't want to mess up the embroidery on them that is a different/lighter color. Basically, I don't want the whole shirt one color. Are there any tricks to prevent the lighter stiching from the darker color dye?

Thanks

hi there, In my room i've stuck some sticker which is a size of A4 papers. And i'm trying to remove them but if i pull them out there will be some left still stuck, so i want to remove the whole sticker easily. Please try to tell me about chemicals which are present in home (salt, lemon, vinegar etc.) which will help to remove them.
By the way, I know that if there are stickers stuck on glass and heated it will be permanent.so i don't need the explaination of it.
thanks!

I have an extremely tiny bathroom in my master bedroom. It only has a shower (no tub), one small counter that only has room for the sink, a medicine cabinet with 3 little shelves, and under the counter is a very limited space(the pipes take up the majority of space). and the toilet is cramped in between the counter and shower. my problem is that i don't know where to put my makeup, hair supplies, basic bathroom stuff. it is always messy and i was wondering if anyone knew anyway i could get it organized.

I guess I've learned the hard way: we've got hard water; and NeVeR forget to wipe the ceramic tile walls after showering!

I didn't know it was needed, and didn't wipe the tile after showers for several months after tiling in a new bath. The tiles are dulled/covered by waterspots. I've tried everything I know to remove the water spots: brillo, comet, tilex, Mr. eraser, a good-for-nothing steam cleaner thing, elbow grease, and MoRe elbow grease. Geez ~ It's just water! [I know, calcium...] But, What's the deal? Why is it so hard to remove?

I now know what NoT to do and will never leave a shower without first wiping it dry. But for damage already done, what can I do to get the tiles back to shiny new, with no water marks?

I have steam cleaned my carpets for years myself. I do not like the cleaners currently available and thought I would try some homemade remedies. Has someone got a recipe that they have used themselves or seen used that really works well? I see them listed from time to time but have not tried any so please help? Thanks.

My clothes, (mostly green and gray) sometimes come out of the washing machine with grayish pink stains. We have used Tide powder and Tide liquid and the blotches still appear. What could possibly affect this, and would I have to buy a new waching machine. The washing maching I have now is a 700-900 (Canadian $) Spacemaker from 2002-2003.
Thanks in advance!

I have not really tried anything, as I don't want to wreck the wood. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Without having to take them out one by one, or paying extra for the cleaners to do it. Is there lint rollers for cashmere?

It seems like every time I clean it, nothing ever gets accomplished or it just returns to its original state. I need a good system!
