Cleaning & Laundry - June 2007

I just noticed my leather recliner has been rubbing against a window seal. Some of the paint rubbed off onto the recliner. What can I use to remove the paint but not damage the leather?

I was just really curious. It's like when you buy a new shirt and inside your shirt, there's a small sticker that sticks onto the tag and it says like "inspection #30" or whatever the number is. What does it mean?

The other day, I cleaned my diamond (the stone part only) with a tiny dab of toothpaste, very gently with a toothbrush. It worked extremely well. However, I have seen about 15% of the websites over the internet saying that toothpaste should not be used since it is too abrasive.

A) Isnt a diamond one of the hardest substances found in nature? If so, then how can toothpaste scratch it? The average person brushes their teeth (2 times a day x 365 days a year x 60 years =) 43,800 times with toothpaste! If it was so abrasive, would we even have teeth left after that much brushing?

B) Someone said toothpaste works by leaving a film over your teeth to protect it. I find that really weird. I usually brush my tongue every morning and I have never noticed any film accumulating on it. Does anyone think that it is true?

Thanks for your help.

I have tried ironing it over a paper bag and also a kitchen towel, some came out but not all, now there is a kind of shiney circle there. I also tried freezing it, then scraping off with little success. Any ideas?

We've tried various detergents, one of which seems to have spread the stain out a bit. But nothing has shifted it. By the way it's red and the shirt id pale blue.

Hi there

The cavity for the washing machine at the place I have just started renting is unusually small, being pretty much exactly the width of a washing machine (59.5-60cm) I could wedge one in there but it wont have clearance or be very easy to get out.

Can anyone recommend one which is a fraction smaller? I can't find one at all.

I can't put the quilt in the wash, it's precious to me, but need to treat my cats for fleas (now that I'm covered in bleepin' bites and get bit every night) and clean and vacuum for a few weeks, etc. What should I do with the quilt? I've read that isolating a space or objects is a bad idea because the pupae stay dormant, so putting it away seems a no-go. Should I keep vacuuming it along with the carpet and mattress every day? Help!

I have new queen-sized 100% cotton sheets that are beautiful but wrinkle really badly, They're much too big to iron, particularly for a senior citizen like me.

A friend suggested a Downy wrinkle-release product but it's very expensive. Someone else said she made her own wrinkle-release spray by combining fabric softener and water. Would that work? Does anybody know the formula?

Other than fabric spray, how can I get the wrinkles out of dryer-dried sheets without ironing them?

Is there any real difference in getting your carpet professionally cleaned versus the 'do it yourself' carpet cleaners you can hire?? Is it basically the same thing?? I'm sick of paying for professional carpet cleaners and wondering if i can get the same result from doing it myself. Any tips would be great.
