There has to be a use for them other than just tossing them.

The stains have been absorbed by the stone and will not come out with conventional cleaning products.

My daughter has an issue with peeing the bed. And we have a waterproof pad, but even after washing it, it still smells like pee.

What sort of cleaner can I use to get the smell out of the sheet and mattress pad?

A couple of days ago my 2 year old brought me the Nestle syrup & asked for "pink milk". I noticed the lid was loose and the bottle was empty. I, then, noticed a huge puddle of syrup on my cream-colored carpet.

I blotted it up. That helped some but it's still pink. I've tried the little green machine, Resolve, Spot Shot, Woolite OXY. My best friend's husband recommended I try lighter fluid but I'm still too nervous to try that. I read somewhere online that diluted peroxide might work but I'm nervous about that also. (Wouldn't that bleach it?)

Any Ideas??? Thanks!

My daughter cooked Macaroni and cheese yesterday. When I got home it was sitting on a burner set on low. The bottom of the pan was black. I left it to soak overnight hoping to loosen it up.

What can I use that will disolve this burnt on mess? The pan is stainless steel professional grade sauce pan. There is no teflon coating or anything weird like that. Will oven cleaner work? I know a lot of abrasive cleanser (Ajax or Comet) and scrubbing will eventually get it clean but I am looking for an easier way. I'm lazy.

I will be moving in with someone soon that smokes indoors like a chimney (and no, she is not going to quit, not now, not ever, and I don’t have any choice in the decision, I need the cheap rent) we will be moving into a fresh, brand new apartment. I want to get one that is the best at removing as much of the smoke odor as possible. Also, what would you recommend to get some out of the odor out of her car, in case I need to borrow it. It smells like a bar in there, only a little worse.

When the candle jiggled, some liquid wax splashed onto my new, full length wool coat. It's in the back near the shoulder. The wool is a deep brown mustard color and the now hardened wax is milky colored. I'm afraid rubbing it will just smear it around and I certainly couldn't heat it. I haven't found a 'Heloise's Hints' on this one. Are there possibly any Dry cleaners with this experience? Any ideas? Thank you.

my husband and i, along with our one year old son, just rented a newly renovated home. the owners used to live there and breed dogs. apparently they kept several in the house and had to remove all carpeting from the entire house due to odor and fleas. they now have laminate flooring throughout. when we first moved in they had mothballs in every room to further "eliminate" pet odor. now the scent of those is fading and all we smell is an awful dog odor. the scent seems to be in the walls also. it is even making our clothes stink !! what can we do to eliminate this without moving out ??

Is it unhealthy to be spraying disinfectant all the time when you clearly know that a person in your house is going to the bathroom and not washing their hands. What are other things I can do to prevent getting dealthy ill,( I spray, I bleach,I clean) this really disgusts me and I feel like im going insane and need to put a sign above the toilet saying wash your damn hands you filthy pig.

This is a long winter coat made out of pure wool. It says to take it to the dry cleaners but i know it'll be expensive and i don't think they will get the smell that i don't like off of it. the smell is like that "it's been sitting in the closet for about two years with no air!" smell.

anyway i have tried febreez and putting it in the drier wich normally works for those days that i need to wear something that hasn't been tot he clleaner but its just not doing it on this jacket.

Mind you its a very heavy and thinck jacket so i keep thinking washing it on delicate won't hurt it to much but i figured i'd ask firt.

what do you think?
