My spare room is used as storage. It is literally floor to ceiling, front to back, with a small pathway leading to my computer. I try to clean it out, by pulling out a few boxes at a time, soting things and throwing away things, but it just gets too overwhelming and hard, and I hardly make a dent after working on it all afternoon. Can anyone give me any ideas on how to stay motivated and just keep working on it?

Please help..I know this is random and I feel very "I love lucy" but long story short my flash drive went down my dryer vent. I was cleaning it out and had too many things in my hand. On top of that...I am in Austin (where it is flooding). I don't think it made its way outside b/c I wadded through some water looking (and I think it is too heavy). I took the back of the dryer off and the "tubing" but don't see it. I think it was too heavy to make its way all the way out. WHAT CAN I DO? I AM SERIOUSLY PANICKED. Am I just screwed?

Thank you in advance.

Was wondering how to remove sweat stains from white T-Shirts. They are a 50/50 Polyester/Cotton mix, as they don't seem to shrink much is why I choose to wear them. Does that make it harder for the sweat stains to come out?

I've tried bleach, a whole gallon of vinegar in a wash of whites, & some generic non-bleach whitener powder.

Any ideas? I'd hate to buy new ones as I'm a cheap. HEHE

I have bought a set of expensive bath towels. They look beautiful (big and fluffy) but when I use them after a shower they have no absorbency. They feel like i am toweling with a silk or satin sheet. I have washed them several times with fabric softener, but little improvement.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I was cooking pork-chops in my kitchen when the oil bubbled and splattered on my grey cotton-strchy zip-up jacket, and my jeans. I have not washed them yet, i didnt want to set a stain. however, i forgot about them in the back of my closet for a month or so, which i dont know, but im guessing it makes it much harder to get out?!?! Does anyone have any suggestions before I attempt this, or is it stained for life? :(

I live in the desert, and the dust is so fine that it clogs the pores of the vacuum bag, which sends a signal that the bag is full and needs to be changed. I think I might have to b Whayuy a new vacuum. What brand/model would you reccomend?

It's my mom's birthday today and she's at work and I want to help clean the house and my sister said she would help the day before. But today it's my mom's birthday and my sister isn't doing anything! All she did was do one basket of laundry and just left it there without organizing. I practically did almost eveything and the remaining i doubt my sister will do. She is so lazy and she's older than me too she's like seventeen years old -___- her eyes are hooked on the television she's such a couch potatoe.. what should I tell her? she won't listen to me when I ask her to help clean..

My garbage disposal smells bad. I have tried grinding a lemon with ice in there. Also, vinegar.

After living in my old apartment for two years the walls were yellow from smoke. I don't want that to happen again. How can I stop it from happening? Is there anyway besides buying an air purifier?

I have white sheets at home and I can never get them white again. I know it’s not staining from the bleach I use because the fitted sheet is stained and the pillow cases are stained while the “loose” sheet is not. I’d like to try some home remedies before I go out and buy some more chemicals. As well, I can’t hang my sheets to dry in the sun because we don’t have a fence to hang a clothes line on and we don’t have anything for the sheets to hang off of outside.
