I have a J-4000 Jiffy Steamer. I've preheated the water then when I switch it to "steam" it warms up and steam comes out but then it starts spitting scalding hot water. I'm holding it upright and I have the water level right. Any ideas?

So I brought my laundry to my moms and washed the baby clothes and put them in the dryer. To my dismay, when I checked to see if it was dry, there are black ink spots all over the clothes. It's totally trashed. What can I do to save it? We're trying milk, hair spray, rubbing alcohol and pretreating with laundry detergent and Kazaam spot remover. It's my baby's entire 0-3 wardrobe not to mention all her blankets and I'm going nuts because she's only 7 weeks. Anything else? It's gel pen ink, which isn't the same as regular ink. Thanks!

I just recently starting working assisting a busy housekeeper doing the vacuming and dusting-she does the majority of the work bathrooms, kitchens and mopping the floors. Most of the homes we do are large-3000-4000Sq.feet . She charges 40.00 an hr. What do you think is a fair rate in paying me?

This coat has several "military" patches on it, it is very shiny, just looking for any ideas on what to do to make it not look so shiny.
Thanks!

Alright well bought a dope hoody the other day.
80% polyester/20% cotton.
And stuck it in the washer then into the dryer.

Pulled the sucker out an hour later and I got this freakin fluff stuff all over it!
Its mostly black with some colours on it, but when I pulled it out of the dryer it was a much lighter black, like a "really old sweater black" mixed with some grey.

And had this white fluff looking stuff all over it, kind of like really small hair but not really. ( I know I'm awesome at explaining )

Anyways I thought I messed it up..who wants to mess up a hundred dollar hoody anyways?
But if you wet it, it turns back to its previous condition. A much darker black and clear of fluff.

Is there anyway to get it to stay like that?

I think this was caused from using warm/hot water in the washer and regular on the dryer.
The tag says, wash separately cold water, and tumble dry.

Any suggestions/thoughts would be much appreciated~!!
Thanks

Whenever I peel off the stickers and packaging from new CD's and books, it always leaves an annoying gummy substance! What to do?

I am purchasing a house and the water has iron in it which has left rust deposits on my bathroom fixtures (tub, toilet, sink). I have tried CLR but it only got the stuff on the top layer. Got any good remedies that might work?

What should I use to clean my kitchen table that is all wood? I usually just use windex after every meal. Is that okay? I've also used pledge to clean it. It just doesn't seem right to clean it with pledge even if it's all wood. To me the pledge doesn't get it really clean and just makes it really greasy. I don't want to eat on something greasy. Any suggestions?

I have recently purchased a multi-unit building, and I plan converting the basement to a coin-op laundry-room for the residents. My question is which kind of machines should I go with? One reason I am particular about a TL is the fact you can gage the size of your load therefore, you will only use as much water as "requested". I dont know if FL have this same feature or not.

Also, I dont know if your typical FL can add clothes to the machine after the cycle has started. This is a feature im sure most can appreciate.

Lastly, given where the fact these machines will be installed in an apartment complex, im sure they wil be used quite often, so durability is a question as well.

I appreciate all thoughts, suggestions, and comments.

Also do you have your home normally clean or do you need to have it as clean as a hospital?
I was just curious.
