I received the American flag that was draped over my grandfather's casket. I had never gotten around to buying a case for it, just displayed it out in the open on top of my bookshelf, properly folded and all, right underneath my living-room window.

Last week, there was a heavy rainstorm that caused the seal around my living-room window to spring a leak, and water came in, getting the flag dirty and soaking wet.

On one hand, I believe the formal flag codes require me to destroy the flag once it gets dirty and/or wet, but ... this is my grandfather's flag, which is a big deal in my family. If I can, I'd like to clean it rather than replace it.

Any suggestions?

Is there anything aside from Mr. Clean Magic eraser that can help with this? I have never used the magic eraser, does it actually work? Is there a less toxic way of getting the scuffs off. . .I know the magic erasers contain formaldehyde which does not appeal to me so much.

Thanks :)

I haven't cleaned in a while and my room smells...well...funky. I don't want to just spray something so what should I do? I have the time and energy to move all my furniture, I already picked up all the dirty clothes and stuff. I have carpet that's stained(orange carpet with some old pet stains and a few spills), lots of dust, and windows that don't open. I'm no stranger to cleaning but this is sort of daunting. How do I clean metal furniture? How do I clean and make the woodwork/wooden furniture shine? What's the best way to clean a rust/hard water stained toilet? How should I get ashes out of my keyboard so it doesn't stick? How do I get thick dust off books? What should I use to get random gunk off a chair? It's that time of year and I'd really like to get this done and have a room I can be proud of.

We're renting this house, and from what I know of its history it's been a few years since anyone bothered to clean the glass on the shower door.

I've tried the following products:

Lysol Soap Scum Remover
CLR
LimeAway
Vinegar and water
Comet Cleanser
Toothpaste
A razor blade

Nothing is working!!!! If I owned the home I'd just go buy another glass door lol ... it's a lovely shower and a beautiful home, but I really don't want to invest any money into it, know what I mean?

Any suggestions would be great (well, other than to kick out the door and call the property owner lol), thanks!

I heard that tomato sauce can brighten up brass but I'm not too sure - any easy ways to clean it with the exception of soap and water?

I just cleaned out the mold from the floor that has piled up from the drain overflowing, but is there a way to get the drain open and clean it, or do I just need something like Drano?

The water part is starting to get a little mildew in it, are there any good home supplies I could possibly use, or if you don't know of any home supplies..tell me what to buy..thank you, and I hope you all understand what I am talking about.
