Cleaning & Laundry - February 2007

I saw online a very nice sportcoat at a great price. In its description, it says, "Sleeve is constructed for the addition of custom working buttonholes." It does not have any buttons on the sleeve.

If I bring the coat to a tailor, does anyone know how much it would cost simply to have sleeve buttons sewn on? If it's not much, the price is definitely right.

Thanks.

I had some laundry that sat to long and got a mold smell. I have tried washing them again, washing them with vinager and washing them with Oxyclean. I am pulling my hair out over this. I cannot throw this laundry which includes work clothes and towels away. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know how to get built-up grease and cooking spray off of a griddle? I don't know if there's a special cleaner that will work? Thanks!

I by no means want to upset him, but I'm so sick of cleaning up after him, our toddler and our pets day in and day out. Let me explain..He does cook dinner sometimes, and will give our son a bath if I ask him to. But..He doesn't clean up after himself at all, doesn't pick up his dirty clothes, food wrappers, plates or anything, and has left cups in his office until they molded. He doesn't do laundry, and if he does, he only washes his clothes that he needs for the next day. If I have clothes in the washer or dryer when he needs to use them, he'll empty the dryer on our diningroom table, and he'll put a washer full of wet clothes in a basket and leave them there. I recently got over being sick and unable to clean up, and I'm appalled at my house. All the dirty clothes the family had accumulated were strewn all over the laundry room and our bedroom, the sink was full of food-covered dishes (and we have a dishwasher!) and the floors and counters were filthy. He doesn't pick up his own food wrappers or dishes, and has even left things that were dangerous to our child within his reach. How can I talk to him about this without upsetting him. He has a temper and gets really upset when I ask him about these things.

I am a very tall guy, and I recently bought some Tall t shirts and after shrinking they are not the length I want them. If I wash them, then air dry, will they regain the length from purchase?

I have a down featherbed and my youngest daughter had an overnight accident on it. I just paid $48 to have it dry cleaned less than one week ago, so I hate like heck to pay it again so soon. I found the manufacturer's tag on it, but there are no cleaning instructions at all. If I do wash it, I plan on taking it to the laundry mat and using the super large washer/dryer, but I just need to know if it can be washed first. Thanks!

What is your opinion off it? Is it worth the $1500.00? I had a demonstration yesterday and I am undecided. Too many attachments to switch around, it doesn't get right up to the edge, you have to switch attachments are just a couple of things I don't like. Any opinions and is the cost really worth it?

Guys, for about a year now I've been using warm water for my cold water quiksilver tshirts. I feel like ****, knowing that it should've been on cold. Does it matter too much though? Because the cold water turns into warm water as the washer spins anyway, so...
