Cleaning & Laundry - March 2007

my toaster is getting pretty gunky. sure you can take the crumb trays out and shake the darn thing and get what you can out but, a lot of it is still inside. years ago they used to sell dime size brushes to reach way down inside and sweep away the crumbs without any damage to the coils. i thought about compressed air but i don,t want to go to the hardware and purchase an air compressure just for that job.

About two years ago I purchased a fairly expensive (for me) suit jacket. I've worn it once or twice, but the remainder of the time it's been in my closet on a cedar hanger. I just noticed 3 or 4 small holes in the jacket which are 2-3mm each. The holes are on the back shoulder portion of the jacket. I think moths may be the guilty parties, but that doesn't really matter at this point. Is there anything that can be done to repair the jacket, or is it a loss?

My friend and I painted my living room a few weeks ago and we apparently weren't as careful as we needed to be when we taped and then painted near the ceiling. Now I have paint marks on my ceiling from the overbrush...how can I get that off?

My wife is a MESSY person. Her concept of clean is far from what I consider clean. She'll tell me the house is in good shape, but when I come home I am appalled. How do I get her to change her ways? I am tired of doing all the cleaning and fighting about it as well. HELP!

I had a bottle of honey sitting on my carpet. Why? Because I was too lazy to pick it up. What I didn't know was that it was leaking. Now I have a spot about two inches in diameter which is soaked with honey. Is there any way I can remove it? No, I won't pour gasonline on it and light a match. Any good advice will be most appreciated.

If you are pregnant, is it safe to wear new clothes or sleep in new bedding before use? I bought a new king sized comforter, and washed it, but my washer is so small, I don't think it got the job done. It still has a slight "new smell" odor. Is it ok to use, or should I take it to the cleaners and wash in an industrial sized washer? Thanks.

I am extremely busy and my house suffers from neglect. I try to get a reliable person with references to help cleaning my house - mainly dusting, mopping. No laundry, dishes or cooking. Just to keep house presentable.
Jeez- I can't believe that people want $ 20 to 25 an hour to dust a house. Cash money - That's a lot. I thought like $ 10 an hour for like let's say 10 hours a week would be reasonable. Am I outrageous cheap or housekeepers too expensive? You don't need a brain surgery degree to mop and dust a little. Just wondering. I guess I take some time to do it myself but I won't spend $ 20 an hour:)

Last summer some raw meat with ice was put into this chest. This was done to keep the meat refigerated for a drive that lasted about 1.5 hours. Somehow the meat was forgotten about and ended up spending about 2 days in said ice chest in the trunk of a car.
You can imagine the smell. Anyway, everything was done to remove the foul odor that emenated from it: baking soda, bleach, vinegar. Several cleansers was used to clean out the chest. Nothing has helped this problem.
No doubt the smell of the rotting meat has permeated the plastic ice chest but I was wondering if anything can be used to exorcise the foul odor.
I hate to waste such a good ice chest.
Do you know of anything that could be used in removing the stench?

We want to install a dishwasher in a kitchen with 2 outhouses and a larder area. The options we have are limited due to the space but we are considering either putting it in either the larder (which has no water supply) or on top of the washing machine (do not know if this is possible). Please let us know if you have any advice on this as we are first time buyers and have never had to do anything like this before.
Thanks
