Cleaning & Laundry - February 2007

I just moved into a home that has filthy shower doors. Not only is there a ton of soap scum & a bad odor, but the bottom of the doors have a bunch of gunk caked up in the cracks. Also, is it possible to replace the seal between the door & the metal frame? It has become reddish brown in color from all of the filth.

I have several bags of maternity clothes stored in the garage. The garage has recently been invaded with field mice coming in from the cold.

I'm afraid to open the bags of clothing, for fear that mice have left droppings -- or worse -- nested in there. Any advice on how to go about tackling this job? Is it even safe for me to be doing this, as I am pregnant?

P.S. If I do find droppings, what is the best and most effective way to wash the clothes? Recommend a heavy duty detergent, if you know of any, thanks.

Hi. Those of you who have Duraplush fabric, do you have dogs? If so, how is the fabric holding up? Does it tear easily? Thanks : )

The drain is slightly clogged and the water slowly drains but it still does. I have been using Scrubbing Bubbles all day and haven't been able to get it off. It is my son's college apartment and I can't stand it anymore. The drain needs to be snaked but I want to get the scum off first. Don't give me the business about getting my son to do it. That won't happen.

I know you shouldn't mix products but I don't know what other product you can use with Scrubbing Bubbles safely.

My back is killing me. I tried the 800 numbers for advice but they are not working. Also, I tried the websites and the bottle info but that is no good. There is nothing on them that says anything about the mixing of products.

Help.

My husband and I both work full-time jobs, and I just don't see how to keep my home clean without devoting an entire day to it once a week. After a draining work week, I only want to devote ~2 hrs of my weekend, so my house is never really neat and clean. What works for you?

Here's the deal. I am considering offering a friend my services to help clean his house. He is single taking care of 2 children by himself so I know his money is tight. It is a 3 bdr/ 2 bth home. I would be doing both bathrooms, kitchen/dining area, vacuum carpets & clean wood floors (kth/din), living room. I would also be doing misc. cleaning & dusting as need such as walls, windows etc. I was thinking of either once a week or bi-weekly & would like to just charge him a flat rate. If you're asking "How cleaning is this house to begin with?" just think average single man who works full time w/ 2 young kids.

What do you think is fair pay per hour for this stuff, and would you pay someone to do it?:
1. Babysitting
2. Yard work like snow shoveling, leaf raking/blowing, grass mowing, etc.
3. Housework like laundry, cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, etc
