Cleaning & Laundry - March 2007

I bought a couch cover, which fits loosely. I was wondering if anybody has any tips on how to shrink a 100% cotton couch cover.
Thank You

Hello everyone! I just moved into a new home that was constructed in 1960. All of the appliances are from that era. My stove, which is useable, needs to be cleaned. Since it is a gas stove from 1960, how would I go about cleaning out the oven? Same way as the newer models? Easy off and a good sponge or is that a disaster waiting to happen?

clothes are left very wet after multiple attempt to ring them out. Could this be a belt issue?

I haven't cleaned it in a long time and now all the rungs have a lot of dust caked on them. I can barely run a finger between the rungs so what is the best way to clean it? Especially the back?
Thanks

I'm moving out of my house in 3 weeks, and I wasn't supposed to have smoked in it. I've been smoking in my room for over a year. I need to get the smell out QUICK (and I don't want even the best smellers to be able to smell it at all)! suggestions?

Based on the terrible performance of front loading clothes washers at laundromats, it would be hard to convince me to buy one for use at home. Is there a significant difference in performance and features with the front loading washers they sell for use at home (non-commerical)?

I have the purple animal dyson but I am looking into the handheld looking dyson, kinda like the dustbuster. We could not find one out of the box; so does anyone have one or seen one out of the box? Is it heavy or is it light? Is it worth buying or should I just stick with the one I have?

I know it's bad but I went to my sister's house overnight and forgot to blow out a candle and it burned for about 24 hours. It was on a high bookcase and I noticed a very large light soot patch on the ceiling afterwards. I made the mistake of using liquid to try and clean it and all it did was spread it around. It's now a huge smeared soot patch. Is there any way to clean it now? Any thing that's not liquid?
