Cleaning & Laundry - December 2006

I got some white socks for Christmas and I washed them, but now they're all linty. Would washing and drying them again help to get rid of the lint?

Maybe colored brooms and cleaning equipment would appeal to women and help motivate them to clean up the house more for us men?

I like Viva, it's strong and I can re-rinse it. It took me years to find a brand I liked. I don't care about price, I just like the towels to be strong.

The wax ended up dripping onto the cotton fabric and hardening. I washed the fabric in the washing machine twice already, but the stain still doesn't come out.

how come you have to handwash some fabrics and then lay them flat to dry? does it really make a difference? And how come it says to hand wash acrylic? The acrylic sweater i have is pretty thick and it seems like it doesn't really need to be handwashed.

How do I get the "burnt" smell out of my microwave? I've tried a bowl of vinegar. Should I just keep changing the vinegar out or try something else?

This is one of those fold up papason chairs but it can not be washed. The cover does not come off. We have had it for only a couple of days. So far I have tried cleaning it with fabric cleaner, pet stain & odor remover, carpet shampoo, febreeze, Lysol, fabric freashener, I am out of ideas...anyone have another idea of how to get rid of the smell? We can't return it and no I will not do something mean to my cat so please don't say that. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks for helping us out.

This rust has been here for about 3 years and lime away did not help! I do not believe CLR would work either.

I washed and dried my pillows as per the tag and now I have lumpy pillows. Is there anything I can do, other than live with it or buy new?
