Cleaning & Laundry - April 2007

Recently I arrived back to my flat after a weekend away. My flatmate had left dirty plates, cups and glasses all over the kitchen and the bin unemptied, even though she said she would clean up. She repeatedly acts like this. I'm naturally a tidy person, if i have dirty dishes i just wash them, simple as that. Why do some people not clean up after themselves??

I have recently bought a new shirt, but unfortunately it is TOO big and I CANT return it. What's the best way to shrink it? It is made out of 100% preshrunk cotton. Does that mean I cant shrink it anymore? There must be SOME way to shrink it. =/

yes. it was a stupid thing i did. but now i have wax in my oven. i wiped away what i could see, then went over it again with a cloth hopefully to get what i couldn't see. i tried heating the oven a little, to melt the invisible wax a bit, then wiping again.
BUT the last time i tried using my oven, it just started smoking, and i don't want to be carbon monoxified, if ya know what i mean...
SO MY QUESTION IS how do i get wax out of my oven? would it work if i just cranked up the heat, turned on a fan and left it to clean itself? are there any products that might be helpful? thanks

This bra doesn't have laundering instructions! I assume it must be hand washed. Any suggestions on detergent? Wash before wearing? If you can't wring it out do you just hang it dripping wet? Help!! Thanks!

I have a new roomate. i told her several times not to use them, becuase we used them to use the toilet. She doesn't wanna wash the dishes without gloves becuase she could hurt her nails, so she went behind my back at night and washed the dishes with them. I was willing to wash them myself, which i have done a few times already, even though the deal was I cook and she clean. she agreed. I would rather do it myself than have her promise and not do it. I'm furious and i donno what to do. am i right to be angry? how sck will we get from this? she thinks clorox will fix everything, but i think it's overrated, esspecially for this. what should i do?

I have been using Murphey's. It is ok, but the floors don't seem to shine like they used to. I have read conflicting opinions on this, so I wanted to ask again.

and the best way to clean them! I find mine builds up with residue (grease), and takes a lot of work to clean it off with a hob cleaner fluid I bought. Is there any product which will dissolve the grease EASILY!!!

I have a ten month old crawling daughter, and I'm pregnant. I can't find the way they are getting in, they only show up when there are stray crumbs on the floor. I'm pretty sure they are just living in my carpet (it's berber) but no matter how many times a day I vaccuum, they keep showing up.
