Do you trust your cleaning lady or cleaning service to leave them alone in your house while they're cleaning? Are they bonded or insured?

I spent most of my childhood raised by a single father, who started out not very domesticated. There was a time that one of my chores growing up was laundry, and while he was teaching me, he would wash the jeans and towels together. I spent years of my adolescence thinking it was perfectly okay. During my high school years he remarried and I was relieved my laundry duties. Don't worry, there were still plenty to take it's place. But when I moved out on my own, and had to start doing my own laundry again, I find myself wanting to wash my jeans and towels together. Nothing devastating has ever happened. The washing machine never exploded. Yet if someone else is in my presence while I am washing clothes, they are always there to remind that you can never mix the two in the same load.

Why is this such a bad idea? I am confused. I now try hard to keep them seperate, but just what is it that happens when you wash the two of them together that is so bad? Lint?

I have a candle warmer in my bathroom with a CLEAN LINEN candle on it. As you might now the candle is white & resembles water when completely warmed. My curious 4 year old decided to pour the "water" down my sink drain to "help Mommy". Now I have a trail of wax from the warmer to the sink & around the sides of the sink.

Anybody know how to remove this? I used a small Pampered Chef spatula to begin with but was scared I would scratch it. But @ this point scratching is not an issue ... I just want to get it off.

Please help!

K, I realized that some of my shirts stretch where the hanger ends are. (The area where your shoulder is is held up by the hanger, then where the hanger ends the shirt drops.) But you end up with 2 hooks sticking out of your shirt on the shoulder area. Idk if this is a result of drying it on the clothesline and the weight of the water brings it down or if it's becuase I Don't use them often.

What does it mean when it says laundry "Laundry Room" does that mean it's in the apartment or it's in another building somewhere where you gotta use the machines and pay or whatever. Looking for apartments with washer and dryer inside apartment.

I have a couple t-shirts with logos on them that I'd like to remove. The shirts themselves are nice, but I do not care to promote the products that have the logos on the shirts. So is there something I can use to remove the logos easily from the shirts?
