Cleaning & Laundry - March 2007

smoking is bad for you & it gets on everything. I,ve lived in my apartment going on 4 years August, does anyone have a solution to get the smoke & dust off all my stuffed teddy bears, that are on a shelf in my bathroom, I know you can,t wash them, I do throw them in the dryer on fluff, but that just gets the dust bunnies off them & not the stains, anything would be appreciated. Thanks.

my husband figured this out, their was this pan that we thought we were going to have to throw away because all the elbow grease in the world couldn't get the crud on the bottom off, well he put easy off on it and left it for 10 minutes and it wiped right off like butter! every once in awhile i have to do this and it makes things so easy, i clean it afterwards, so do you think its safe?

I put a couple of fabric softener sheets in my suitcase to help with the musty odor. Now it has an overwhelming perfume scent that makes me sneeze. I'm trying baking soda, but the scent still lingers. How long does it take for baking soda to totally neutralize it? I have an upcoming trip and don't want to smell like that. Any other tips for neutralizing would be much appreciated. Thanks!

My daughter got ahold of a cup of chocolate pudding and now it's all over my offwhite carpet. There are several small places and then one saucer sized stain of chocolate pudding. I'm scared to rub it because it will smear. Help!

I live in an apartment complex, and our washer/dryers suck to be quite honest lol.

Does anyone have any secret tricks to getting clothes super clean in a washer that only runs for 15 minutes? I have tried oxy clean/stain remover directly in the wash/every and all detergent (settled on All Small&Mighty, works the best!), and our clothes are still coming out dingy. They're clean, but not as clean as they could be, and stains rarely come out unless I hit them with a stain spray as soon as the accident happens. I have a 3 year old so stains are unavoidable and her clothes are slowly getting ruined.

Any tips would be appreciated!

Our dog has been sleeping on the sofa while wet and slightly muddy and it's now in pretty bad shape. It's a deep pink colour covered in a cotton fabric, and I don't know how I should get the watermarks and general grubbiness out. Also, our other sofa, a white colour, has some blood on the cushions - what should I do with it?

I have a lot of black (skirts, sweaters, dress shirts) and I can't stand how everything fades after just a couple washes. What is the best detergent or whatever to use on them? Thanks.

I have two sweaters that were $54 each, and after I wore/ washed them (following the directions) I messed up and hung them on a hanger to dry instead of laying them flat. The button holes are all stretched now and they're just shaped funny. Plus, I pulled up the sleeves and the arm holes are much larger now. Is there any way to fix this? I'd really hate to be out over a hundred dollars.. Thanks.
