My ten year old Kenmore dryer stopping heating so clothes they don't dry. Any idea what the problem might be and the cost to repair? I called sears and it's $69 an hour plus parts to have them come out or $169 for a 1 year warranty and repair. Would it be better to buy a new one and are the new GAS dryers really more energy efficient?

In my house I have hardwood floor, tiles, linoleum and carpet as floor coverings. I wonder if there is a vacuum out there that can vacuum as well as steam the various floor surfaces and do a good job. I have no pets so hair is not a big problem. I know of a few name brands (Dyson, Oreck, Kirby, Miele, etc.) but am not familiar with which model that can do the job. If you have experience with a good one can you tell me the brand and model name? Thanks.

My daughters jacket no longer zips. All of the teeth are there, but it just wont zip- it catches and the unzips itself. She has a normal coat- cotton, nothing fancy. I am not the greatest sewer so any ideas would help!

I'd like answers besides using Febreeze. I use it often and it doesn't help. The fabric on my couches don't come off either for me to wash them in the washing machine.

Cuz i don't wanna be spending $5 a week on shirts, but they look so much better, and it takes a long time the way I do them now.

"Garment" is a waist cyncher and it was almost too small of a size for me when I bought it just 1 month ago. I knew this material would stretch though and it did.The tag says- " H/W cold h2O, No dry cln, Drip dry only".
I want to try to shrink it a bit but I don't want to melt it or ruin it at all. Can I be safe on LOW in dryer?

Like, what do they do to the clothes to get them clean? Do they get wet? What kind of chemical's do they use? Please explain if you have knowledge of this.

I just moved into an adorable 2 story duplex, but the previous owners NEVER cleaned the place, i know this because my best friend lives on the other side of it, so it stinks, the carpets have been cleaned and a cleaning agency came to clean as well, but there is still an odor in the air, like a pungent odor, how do i go about getting rid of it? its upstairs and downstairs

I know that there are special cleaners specifically for this, many stores do not carry it, those that do are often out, and it is expensive. Any suggestions for a homemade cleaner that will not scratch, yet get it clean?

There's too many leaves to dust each one seperately. Can I take it outside and use a hose?

I have a shirt that is almost brand new (its been worn once) and I washed/dryed it and now its alot smaller than it was new. Its made out of cotton and polyester. I believe the blend is 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Which causes more shrinkage? Needless to say, I can't really wear it comfortably now. Thanks.

Helloo~

I am renting a house on my own with my bf and neither of us have lived alone before so in all fairness...when it comes to technical things, we're noobs :/

Anyways, this place we're renting its a huge house and its very old and the person before us had a washer and dryer. The Dryer was down in the basement connected directly through the fuse box and the washer was upstairs in the kitchen (odd I know) She moved out and we moved in. The washer and dryer didn't work... and we had problems with the electrcity shutting off randomly...so we had a breaker box put in.

What I need to know is, now that the old fuse box is out, what would I need to look for in order to know if I can have a washer and dryer in my house? My mom tells me to look for "the box" for my dryer to connect to, but I have no clue what shes talking about...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Since August last year, I have had to replace my cooker, fridgefreezer, washing machine, tumble dryer, dishwasher and microwave! I must admit, they all served me well, but what's the odds of all going at once!!!!
