I don't know what it would be called but I want it gone! It is black buildup on the corners of my kitchen floor along my walls and refrigorator. How do I get rid of it? The floor isn't tile. It is like paper stuff that was just layed down in there. I can't quite explain it. But is there anything I can do to get rid of all of this black buildup that mopping won't do? It has been there for years. I can't replace the floor because I do not own the home and my landlord does not want to pay to have it replace. What can I do? Really.

Thanks ahead of time!

I just moved into a condo and the old (very old) washer dryer in the closet is on its last leg. Its an old Frigidaire stackable that vents right into the closet. I can't believe people do that. I've been doing some research and decided I’m going to need a ventless dryer to keep my sanity because sending all that moisture into the house is stupid.. Even though I've spent hours searching the web I can't find good info or really good product guides. I want a stackable washer dryer, with the dryer being ventless. Plus my door opening is only 25 inches : ( Does anyone know of this type of stackable? If worse comes to worse, I guess I’ll have to go with the washer and dryer in one combined machine.

We just purchased a new house and it has a new water softener in it. I had heard once that when you have a water softener, you don't have to use as much laundry detergent as is recommended in the washing machine . Has anyone else ever heard this or do you do this?

I don't use bleach cleaners much...so I don't know if this is normal. It was the Lysol Bathroom Cleaner (Yeah...I know it said bathroom...)

I tried pouring soap down the disposal while running it, and I also tried letting the hot water run.

The smell is not going away...and it is a *terrible* smell. Is this normal? What is causing that stench? And how do I get rid of it?

I am getting married October 2008, but I already bought my dress. My dress is being stored in a closet of a smoke free home. I have the plastic bag that it came in covering it and I also have it in travel type garment bag. Is it possible that my dress will turn yellow? If so, do I need to buy a gown preserver? Can I take it to a dry cleaners prior to my wedding? Any other suggestions or ideas to help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

When I wash my dishes I use liquid detergent and Jet Dry, but I keep getting this white powdery resedue left on the dishes. I've even gone as far as having it professionally cleaned, but alas the same results. I tryed using vinigar also, but same thing. Does anyone have any ideal what is causing this to happen. Even the manufacturer could not come up with any answers in which I've not already tryed.

like mildew or something. I sprayed Renuzit on the filter, but that is just a temporary fix.

I've heard so many people lately say that too much cleaning is bad for your home and children's immune systems. But then, you get warnings to clean countertops daily because of food/meat germs. What is a safe level (a good balance) of cleaning your home without going overboard?

I vacuum regularly (house every 2-4 weeks, every week in kitchen) I only wash my hardwoods maybe once a month or two months, or longer. But I wash/vacuum the kitchen floor more often (son eats things off floor if I slip up). I wash countertops almost daily with METHOD cleaner (easy on lungs and environment). Sink every 2 weeks or so w/Ajax with Bleach. The only thing I use Clorox wipes on is the diaper pail maybe once a month because my son teethes the handle. I use Palmolive original soap for dishes. These are estimates.

Am I overdoing anything? How do you find a balance?

Let's just say I had a horrible Friday night. Someone threw up in my car, which caused a chain reaction with another person, so I has 2 pukers in one night, in my car. After 2 hours at the car wash (god bless that guy), my car still smells. A whole bottle of Febreeze didn't work. Air fresheners only cover the smell, but I want to eliminate it. People have suggested Lysol. Also, someone said to sprinkle corn starch all over the seats, let it sit, and then vaccum it up. Anybody know anything that will work for sure??

I've been reading questions and answers of other users and I want to vote for best or worst answer by selecting the
"thumbs-up" or "thumbs-down" icons. However, for some reason, I cannot vote.

Can someone help me figure this out?

I've just moved into a houseshare and last night in bed I became very very aware of the smell of cigarette smoke eminating from the mattress (the previous occupant smoked). I'm going to try Febreze later when I get home, but I've got a feeling that the smoke will be deep set right within the core of the mattress and will soon get through to the outer layer.

It's got a fabric outer cover, but no outer plastic layer on top of that.

Note: I cannot afford to replace the whole mattress!

I also need said mattress to sleep on, so please no suggestions that I air it outside for a few days to get rid of the smell!

It somehow got into the material so I can see it from outside and inside of my t-shirt.
