Cleaning & Laundry - January 2007

I ran out of ALL of my cleaning products. How much do you think it will cost to restock my cubboards? laundry detergent, laundry softener, bathroom cleaners, kitchen cleaners, living room cleaners, furniture polishes, window and mirror cleaners ect...
I don't like off brand products cause they don't work as well!
So how much money do you think I will need to take to the store?
My husband is asking how much I will need but I don't know. he usually does the shopping and has been too busy to do it!

In the commercial it says it can take the place of daily vacuuming, but does it actually vacuum? If not, is there any cheap vacuum out there that is small? I am about to move into an apartment, and don't have a lot of space or money for a giant vacuum. any advice?

I was hoping to just put a few drops of tea tree oil in with my softener or laundry detergent as to disinfect my laundry in fear of some bacteria. Is this okay to do and would it be better to put it in the softener or detergent or would there be a better way to go about this, like on the clothes itself? I'm just afraid if I put it on the clothes itself it wouldn't spread thoroughout the entire load, but just as much; I'm concerned if i put it in the softener or the detergent it may cause a harmful chemical reaction. Has anyone had experience with this? Or, could you suggest another way to disinfect my laundry saftely? I don't want to use bleach as not to discolor them. Thank you!

I have noticed that this closet gets an odd smell in it. Sort of musty. It seems to permeate my clean linens and towels. Is there anything I can do to elimate this odor and keep everything smelling fresh. Thanks

I have a regular white wall and I used duct tape to tape a poster up. Now I have residue on the wall, but the scrubbing required to remove it will remove the paint as well. Are there any special tips to remove the residue?
