Cleaning & Laundry - January 2007

I have a leather look settee that's actually made of plastic. What are the main differences between a leather settee and a plastic one in terms of it lasting and looking nice. Plus what's the best way to keep it clean?

I am rebuilding a fast Ford engine in the kitchen, unfortunately my family keep complaining about the smell of the oil etc, even though I wiped down the draining board, I can't get rid of the smell of overheated oil. I don't mind, I am rather used to it and quite like it but the others are grumbling and saying that all the food tastes of it!
I do not have sufficiently clean environment in the shed or garage, and I need to build this engine almost to hospital standards of cleanliness (dust wise that is, don't care about MRSA and that stuff)

My mom, brother and I recently moved in with my mom's fiancee. Ever since we've been here there has been this DISCUSTING smell coming from the laundry room. When you leave the doors to the laundry room open this horrid smell fills the whole house and makes you gag. When we lift open the lid to the washing machine to put laundry in, the smell hits you like a ton of bricks, so we're guessing that's where it's coming from. Today however, the smell is worse than EVER! It smells like human feces or sulfur or something. We have tried everything to clear it up and it just won't go away! We've tried Vinager, Rid, pretty much anything you can think of. My mom's fiance says it's because of the "trap", im guessing on the washing machine. And we can even smell the smell outside. Like when we ran vinager through the pipes, we smelled it outside. Its like the ground is soaking it up or something. And I think it's making us sick. My moms fiance is the only one who hasnt been sick >>>>

I know about Oxy bleaches but I haven't used them much. I haven't found them great for removing stains etc on kitchen and bathroom surfaces.

Tonight I'm doing laundry and wonder how everyone else does theirs, you may use my numbers but put them in the order that you do.
This is my order:
1) Very darks - like black, navy colors or jeans
2) Towels
3) Sheets or Blankets
4) Bright or Pastel Colors
5) Whites that shouldn't be bleached
6) Bleach load

There is a new shower cleaner that is out. You hang it on your shower head and everytime you get out of the shower you push a button and its supposed to clean your entire bathtub and shower walls. Is it worth the $20 at Walmart?

My friend was remolding his home and he gave me his old refridgerator, but it has been siting in his garage for a couple of months, and it smells. I've cleaned it VERY thoroughly with pinesol AND clorox clean-up, but I still cant get rid of the smell.

Does anybody know how to get the smell out of a previously used or old refridgerator? Any suggestions would be great, thanks.

How to keep a room clean....

I’m an extremely organized individual when I WANT TO BE. Key words here: “want to be”. I have a hard time keeping organized when I don’t like what I’m trying to keep up.

I hate my bedroom. It is SOOOOOOO boning. It has cream carpet, and cream walls. And a HIDEOUS bed frame. I don’t have any cash to decorate it but I want to clean it and make sure I keep it that way?

I keep trying to add stuff to it to make it better but I was thinking simplifying it may make it easier…

Any suggestions on simplifying my bedroom and keeping it CLEAN so I don’t have to clean it every week!?
