Cleaning & Laundry - January 2007

Inherited a large 5 drawer chest from a woman who passed on. She was in her 90s, so I'm sure this dresser is older than me (I'm 31). Anyway, I wiped down all the drawers and even the inner frame with Pine-sol, then with Pledge Multi Surface Cleaner. After wood dried, there is still an old "musky" odor.

I want to put my 6 month old's clothes in this drawer (it's in her nursery). How can I remove the smell, or what product can I use to mask the odor so it does not penetrate my baby's clothes?

is it usual not to see the tub fill with water? I know they use less water and the clothes are getting soaked-but I never see any excess water

to use disposable cloth's (cutting down tree's) or using reuseable cloth's (but wasting energy and water by having more laundry)?? What do you think?

I just started renting an apt with a dish washer but I really don't know which DW detergent would work best. There are several out there and I need some advice on which is best. What do you use & are you happy with it? Thanks in advance for your advice!

I have white clothes from work that I have to wash frequently. Using a ton of bleach isn't getting them totally clean. Does anyone out there have any good solutions as to any stuff they've used that REALLY works when it comes to washing white clothes in the washer? These are sturdy white work clothes, cotton-polyester blend.

Please, serious answers only.
I really need to find something that works.

I am determined to get the coffee pots on our Bunn/Oasis coffee makers at work clean. They are terribly dirty and stained. However I don't want to use anything that will make anyone sick. I know at home I use vinegar and it works will, will vinegar damage these types of stainless pots?? What is the best way to clean these particular coffee pots?

I just got a letterman jacket, but my parents smoke in the house, so it smells like smoke after one day. I asked my mom to clean it, but she doesn't think it smells like anything other than wool. It's dry clean only, and she's taking it to the cleaners today, but by tomorrow, it's just going to smell like smoke again. Is there anything I can do to stop it from smelling permanently? Thanks for any suggestions at all, I've been looking forward to getting this jacket for as long as I can remember.

The compnay and I are in Brandon/Valrico, Florida. They came out to clean 3 times and all 3 services were unsatisfactory. The third cleaning was with a new Maid. They were suppose to come to do a free clean and that person never showed. I asked for my money for just the last clean and they did not want to refund it, now I want for all 3 cleanings. Please let me know where I have to go and what the process is?
