Cleaning & Laundry - March 2007

Some gasoline spilled onto the carpet of my vehicle. I'm looking for suggestions of the best way to neutralize it and get rid of the smell.

I have tried different combinations of detergent, baking soda, febreeze and fabric softener. Most of the smell is gone, but I can't seem to get it to go away completely. It really is a beautiful comforter set, it would be a shame to have to get rid of it because of the smell.

this is not a very old machine and the same thing happen to the last machine. It also gets mouldy near where the powder should be put, although I do not use washing powder but prefer liquid which goes in with the washing.

many thanks.

I just recently bought the new Borat DVD and a new guitar and they both came with XL t-shirts. I wear a medium and I want to shirk these down to that size(or as close as possible). Any suggestions aside from the dryer(which I don't have) or boiling them? Why do so many of us Americans have to be so fat?

I added this to my wedding registry b/c I hear it's good (we have 2 hairy cats), but am taken back by how much $$ it costs....$499 at bed bath beyond. Hopefully they will accept the 20% coupon for it!?!

I am in town for the week and am overwhelmed by all of my parents stuff in the house. They don't have much room in their small house to store things, so I am trying to find a good solution. One of the main things they have collected is mail, and lots of it. Bills and things they don't want to throw away. All of their toys for their grandchildren are out too. Plus lots of other things. Just curious on any ideas on how to get them better organized and clean this mess?

...Are we supposed to wash everything seperately if they each have a different instruction? One says "wash in cold water", the other says "wash in warm water"... I was them all together and nothing happens..

I have plastic sinks and tubs in my mobile home. They are clean but there is a yellow tint to some of them. I've tried products like soft scrub and Clorox Clean up. But there has been no change. Has anyone found a solution to this problem other than replacing them?

I have two small children, two large dogs, a cat, and a bird, so I use it a LOT! It seems like we go through vacuums like crazy! Anyone know a good one that won't break down after six months?
