Cleaning & Laundry - February 2007

My glasses have scratches in them caused by the dishwasher. They don't come out, and look awful. Don't the big detergent companies know this happens? And is there any way to prevent it? I use a rinse agent but it doesn't help.

Okay, maybe I was a tad melodramatic, but only to relay how truly unpleasant a task this is for me. A real idiosyncracy. My commode is clogged. I have one of those plungers with the rim tucked up inside, to form an opening around the inside of the plunger where things can get stuck. Like a trap. I hate germs, don't want to plunge because I know that ick is going to get trapped inside the plunger, and I don't want to remove it from the commode for the dripping all over my bathroom. I might as well toss the plunger, but I can't keep replacing them. This may sound trite, but it's really a dilemma for me. Suggestions most welcome and appreciated!

The part on my shoes that is suppose to be white has now turned brown, and I've tried using bleach but it didn't do much for me at all. If I bought a magic eraser, would that help, or should I just toss the shoes in the trash?

My son has just bought a used Rover 400. The car is nicely turned out but the previus owner definitely enjoyed smoking with the windows up! It stinks. Is there an effective remedy short of putting the car in for a thorough valetting? The car has stretched his budget so cash is tight for him at present.

For most of my other kitchen surfaces I use a Bleach /water solution which can not be used on porous surfaces. I know I can't ammonia, and I would like to avoid buying special expensive cleaners made especially for granite.

How to get rid of bugs?
About a month ago I noticed that I had these small cockroaches crawling on my computer desk at night. I would us the bug spray to kill them but they kept ocming back. A week ago I clean my room entirely and moved my computer desk to the other side of the room. Last night I noticed that there are more cockroaches on my computer desk. I don't get it. I clean my room almost perfectly and I thought I got rid of them. Where are they coming from? I have a wooden desk and we live in a trailer. Can any of that be the cause. I have almost tried everything and they keep coming back. Please help me out. If there is anymore info you need, just ask. Thanks so much for your help.

Someone Said that they are German Cockroaches and I have looked at some pics and I do believe that they are German. My last resort is calling pest control but is there another way of getting rid of them without costing me a fortune?

Just a little over a week ago, a group of girlfriends and I went barhopping and had a little too much to drink. Needless to say, one of my girlfriends went beyond her limit and puked all over the table, floor, and hit a majority of our belongings, including my purse.

I was able to clean the puke off, but the smell has been lingering for awhile. It's a suede purse with leather. Most of the smell comes from the area made of suede material. I've been scrubbing and spraying it with lysol and Febreeze, but it still hasn't gone away.

Does anyone have any suggestions how to rid the smell for good?

So I'm thinking about buying a new Kirby Sentria as I've heard they are amazing, hell my mom had an old school Kirby and it was like a tank. Only thing is..I've seen prices vary on what people paid for..anywhere from $2,000 (which is BS)..down to maybe $800?...how much were you guys able to buy em for? I got a similar question flagged..and i'm thinking it was from loser salesman trying to protect his/her comission check. I'm all for comission salesmen making money for a living..but don't rip me off ya know.
