My wonderful husband was working on a project in our living room (while I wasn't there). Some wood glue was spilled and dried into our fairly short napped carpet. Cutting it out really isn't an option as it seems to have soaked almost all the way through. Any tips on how to remove it? Solvents maybe?

I know the basics, as we've had them in another location. But we have a baby due, and these pests are in and out of our house. Somebody please help.

My husband hates the new-fabric feel of his uniform pants. (He's in maintenence at a factory.) Is there any way I can wash them thoroughly enough to soften them and make them more comfortable for him without washing them a dozen times? (I use a coin-op machine and it can add up quick.)

By the way, we have hard water to boot. Would vinegar or baking soda mixed with the regular soap or in the rinse water help? Thanks for any suggestions.

Blessings

I have an interview tomorrow at a big firm and I bought a cute new blouse just for the interview. I didn't even notice a tiny red stain (I think it's juice) on the front of it. It is rather small yet it's noticable. The materials are cotton, polyester and spandex. I don't have much home remedies. I don't know what to do?!

Even when I wash my tshirts in cold and dry on low heat after about 5 washings they are trash. The only thing else I can think of is hangdrying just seems like alot of work for thsirts. My husbands tshirts that I was on hot and dry on hot dont though - go figure so Im guessing it has to do with the cotton that my shirts are made of - thinner generally. Any ideas on washing?

After my husbands grandfather died, we found a felt Christmas tree skirt that his grandmother had made. Unfortunately it is off white and is dirty. I had put it away to clean later. (when I figured out how to). Then last weekend I found a very old santa suit at an estate sale. It also needs cleaned.
Can you dry clean felt? or are there other ways to get felt clean?
I don't want to ruin either of these items. Help!

I have an old swiffer wet jet, it came in a green box and i got it about 2 years ago, recently they have introduced a new one in a purple box. the problem is, the swiffer pads are fastened by velcro, the old one (the one i have) has one strip of velcro in the middle, the new one, has velcro strips on the top and bottom, making it impossible to use the new pads with the old swiffer wet jet. has anyone had this problem? what do i do? mine works fine so i dont want to pay 20 for a new one!

My electric was off for a week while I was out of town; the apts fridge/freezer is infested BAD;how do i deal? Im talking fruit flies and baby tiny roaches. Thousands; they are now frozen/chillled again, and they have come out into the restof the kitchen, but what I saw when I bravely/stupidly opened the freezer..... rotted food, decomposing meat, millions of dead things and a smell that makes me want to camp out at the sewage plant. It's the apartment's fridge; im on my own. What do I do? Im screwed! Can I don a mask and clean it? with what? Anyone know what to do? Im not sure I could even pay for someone to fix this mess.... What a disaster!

When I pull my clothes out of the dryer [may be washer instead, I'm not sure] they have either pink or white bloches on the collar. It is NOT bleach. I use regular detergent and no fabric softener. Why am I getting stains? Any prevention methods?
