My soon to be 4 year-old son decided to draw with a ball point ink pen on the dresser in his playroom. Is there any way to get it off with normal cleaners?

how is the best way to de-scale a steam iron? all these gritty bits keep coming out just when you are about to iron something decent

This has got to be one of the most annoying things to do (as if doing laundry itself isn't already). Anyone have any idea?

i used mop n glow a few times, and now over time the layers of mop n glow have turned brown and my floor looks terrible. I can't seem to find any way to remove the waxy residue of the mop n glow off the floor. i've tried the amonia and all purpose cleaner as the mop n glow bottle suggested with no luck. Any ideas?

Hot oil on white fluffy towels is not an attractive combination! I have washed the towels several times in the normal way which has not removed the marks, I didn’t really expect it to. I'm hoping that by washing them, I haven't done more damage.

Any advice would be very gratefully received.

At least I can buy some replacements in the sales if nothing works!

Our towels hang approx. 2 feet above a heat register. We have the type of towel holder that holds one towel in front of the other. The towel against the wall changes colors. I bought a heat deflector that directs the heat from the register towards the ground and it's still happening. My question is, why doesn't the heat in the dryer change the color of the towels, like the heat from the register- if that's what's causing the change?

I have this deep fear of getting dirty, it's weird. My closet has two stacks of clothes. One stack consists only of the clothes I wear to bed and the other stack has all my other clothes. When I go out, I'm not afraid of getting dirty. However, I want to keep my bed clothes and my other clothes "seperate". Like when I'm wearing one of my other clothes, I do all I can to not let it touch my bed clothes. It's weird. I take a bath before I go to bed and I wash THOROUGHLY (1 hour bath), and I expect my body to be clean. Then I wear my bed clothes so that my bedroom is clean. My parents are complaining about this. Any advice? :D

The plug in was inadvertently knocked sideways and leaked out onto carpet. The stain resembles the brownish residue on the outside of the plug in after it has been used awhile.

I am a stay at home mother. I married at the age of 18. I lived with my parents before that and my mom always did all of the laundry and house work. I rarely even had to clean my room. I have been married for almost three years and I just can not get the hang of laundry and keeping my house clean. I much rather play with my two wonderful children.
I want to know if anyone has a strict routine or a way of motivating themselves. I am disgusted with my house but I am not doing anything about it. I can't have people over because I'm embarresed. I would love for my home to be clean and be able to entertain and have people over LOTs. HELP!!!
