Cleaning & Laundry - February 2007

We used to have a washing machine where the rubber drain hose let the water out in a laundry tub. We kept a lint catcher or even a piece of nylon hose over the end and it caught quite a bit of lint before it could get into the household drain pipes. Now we have a washing machine which has the rubber drain hose going right into a pipe on the wall behind the machine. Do they sell lint catchers to attach at the end of that hose or some contraption to keep the plumbing from getting clogged or isn't that a concern when the drain hose goes directly into a pipe? I'm afraid that nylon hose would be pretty disgusting hanging directly in the pipe and would need to be removed several times per week. Does anyone have a solution?

I'm a 21 year old male and living on my own for the first time. So far for my kitchen I have a broom with dust pan and then for my bathroom I have a plunger.

I'm only looking for things to keep the place clean such as the toilet, sink, shower, kitchen floor and counters. What supplies am I missing besides a mop and a toilet scrubber?

tried everything and nothing works like MAAS CREAM, that stuff is great!!!! You can find it on ebay. It also works to check bakelite bangles, you can check all plastic for bakelite, put it on bangles with a white cloth and if cloth turns yellow, it is real bakelite.

My fiance and I rent a house. Hes lived here for 2 years in June & I moved in last March. Shortly after I moved in I noticed there was moisture in the windows and some mold looking stuff growing around the windows. I did the girly thing & cleaned it- using bleach! In October his parents were coming, I did the "clean the whole house again", & there was again. I told him he needed to call the landlords, & he did. They said they'd call him next week of when they could come by. He travels alot so he told them to call me & set up a time. They never called. He called back & they said they would just let themselves in & we said NO. By then it was just about Christmas time & we were going to Hawii for 2 & a half weeks. When we got back he was right back to traveling & called the landlord every time he was back home. Now here it is end of Feb & I wanted to clean the house again & I can't because they don't want the windows cleaned. And now I've found mold in the pantry and on the back door!

I have a sky blue hoodie that had a 2 in. piece of BRIGHT yellow paper in the pocket. I forgot to take out the paper so when I put the hoodie in the wash, the yellow dye got onto the pocket and I then unknowingly set the stain by putting the hoodie in the dryer. I have washed the hoodie repeatedly, the stain still remains, and it is not lightening either. The stain is yellowish and very noticeable (to me at least). How can I remove this stain? Is it permanent?

I recently had to replace my dryer vent from venting on the other side of the house because how difficult it was to clean/maintain. Plus it was dangerous because it vented into the floor of my garage and was carried along way from the dryer. Point being is that is was replaced with something safer that now vents into my front porch area. I am sure I don't have to explain what a pain that is. Now we have lint traveling all over and making a mess of the area. It comes out in a little patch of dirt which is broken up by the walkway and then another patch of dirt. The front porch is raised a couple inches from the ground. I was thinking of building some sort of planter from pavers so that the lint could just blow into it and I could put some plans on top but I don't know if that is my best option...anyone have any ideas?

How can I have an idea of how much a pair of new cotton pants will shrink? I need to make them about 1 sizer smaller, but if I go more than that than I am out of luck.

do I need a professional or do I detatch the hose at the machine and clear a buildup? I poured some CLR down the hose and let it sit overnight and it helped a little. what might be the problem?

I have stored my baby car seat in our garage for 3 months, but as the garage is damp and only used for storage, when I retrieved the car seat it had black/green mould dots all over it.
I tried sponging to no avail and then I tried putting the cover in the wash but it only removed the green powdery mould not the black dots.
I have a new baby due in 4 weeks and I am desperate to get the car seat cleaned and ready for her arrival... Any ideas? PLEASE HELP!!

We bought ours in 1984. It's a Whirlpool, still going strong 23 years later. We've replaced the dryer that matched it, but I think this is probably the best investment we've ever made. It cost about $350 way back when, so divided by 23 years, that's about 15/year. A dollar a month. It works great still.
