Cleaning & Laundry - April 2007

These are the metal kind, white (well, when they're clean!), and they're in a smoker's house. I really dread the idea of SCRUBBING each and every one.

I'm going to move into a one-bedroom apartment and I want to know in what order I should clean the rooms. Should I start with the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom or the living room ? I know it's better to start cleaning from the top going down so I'll be working on the ceiling first then the walls, windows, then the floor.

Everytime it rains, water leaks into my basement. Even though we clean it up, how do I know if there's hidden mold? I sleep there sometimes and it worries me because I've heard of cases where people die from the mold in their homes without even knowing it.

Any advice?

darning socks was a way to renew your socks for a little more mileage. Seems everyone now throws their old socks away.

I poured some straight into the bowl to get rid of some mildew that is developing at the bottom. Is this ok for the toilet or will it tear up the rubber rings and things? Could I put some in the tank or would that be worse? I left it there for a few minutes and then flushed it out. It cleaned it just fine but I don't want to keep doing it if it will hurt the toilet.

With all due sympathy to the people in the Northeast, it's 78 degrees and sunny here in south Texas. I love hanging my laundry on the line when the weather is this nice. I just took down a load of sheets and they smell wonderful!
But while I was out there, one of my neighbors came out and said it makes the whole neighborhood look trashy. (In the back yard??) But she's kind of a crackpot; of course I'm not going to pay any attention to her.
Yet it started me thinking: Does anybody else still do this by choice? If so, where are you?

Okay today the second day of using the LG washer I notice where the water goes in thru the main wash area (you know where you add the detergent) that there is gathering some splattering of black spots that look like oil or ink. I know it is not coming from the water in my home because there were no problems of oil or ink in my old top loader washer.
I'm wondering if there is something the water is traveling over in this model that is flowing thru it's channels.
I hope it never make it to my clothes.

Once a plunger is used what is the best way to clean it and then store it next to the toilet? I say spray it with or dunk it in bleach. But then what do you put it on/in? I don't really want to just put it in a plastic bag. What are you suggestions?

I've just aquired a tea wagon and a couple of chairs which belonged to heavy smokers for many years and they reek of cig smoke. Has anyone heard of using diluted coffee to clean soiled wood? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I am moving into my first house in a week and my parents have given my husband and I a couch. It is about 5 years old and although it has never really been used it has spent the last year outside in a screened room. Dirt has blown in and the couch is filthy. The cushions unzip easily. Should I put them in my washer and with what? What should I clean the reast of the couch with and how?

The floor has tiny indentations in it where dirt gets trapped. Therefore, it is difficult to keep clean.

This soap is softer than normal soap. It can be "shaved" off for a small washing machine load, or cut into pieces for larger loads. You can use the whole bar for stubborn stains, and it always worked.....We had grocery stores called Red Owl. Super Value, Farmers Union, & Co-op

I work around grill foods, hot dogs and its sauce all day. I can't afford to buy a bunch of new clothes yet. I need to rewear jeans, shorts, and slacks till I can afford to buy more.

I purchased a LG front loader. It was installed today and used for the first time. I noticed after the first, second and now the third wash that there was a very musky smell in the drum. Should it be that way. I really don't like that. I want my clothes fresh. The clothes don't have a smell at all but the drum smell perculiar.
