Yes, it's that time of year again, they just decided to fix cracks in a dunkin donuts parking lot with tar,,,in the summer,,,yeah. To make a long story short I walked it it, and now I have tar spots all over my flipflops. I don't think I can wash these in the washing machine. Any ideas on how to remove the tar? And prefferably any house hold items that I probbably already have?

I accidentally left a load of washed towels in the washing machine still wet. They stayed there 2 days, so I dried them in the dryer,(DUH!), and they STUNK to High Heaven! I have ran them through the wash twice using hot water, extra detergent and fabric softner even tried a little diluted bleach. I can still detect a faint "sour" smell. Are they ruined?

Any explanations for this and especially useful tips to stop or improve this problem would be much appreciated!!
The apt. I moved into seems to share air ducts with other apartments...the most putrid smells are pumped through the ducts (and I mean EVERY SINGLE VENT in the apartment blows out this disgusting air). The odor seems to be CIGARETTE SMOKE and cooking smells...except it smells like a meal gone terribly wrong--like burnt meat and potatoes. It permeates the carpet, linens, air etc. and cannot be healthy to breathe.

Please please help me with this--what is causing it, how can I stop it, and can/should my landlord do anything? Thanks for your polite and helpful replies!

My fiance and I got a dryer for our engagement. I've been placing clothes in there and they come out with terrible static cling. We're currently in Australia, and I've been looking for dryer sheets here, like Bounce, in the USA, and I've found nothing in the stores. Are there any tricks of the trade to keep clothes less staticky without dryer sheets?

I have tried Tilex, and CLR and other products. The only thing that comes close is the Mr. Clean magic eraser. What does the trick for you guys? Thanks in advance. :)

I just came in from work, put a heavy gage stainless steel, copper bottom pan on with a bit of oil to heat for dinner. My husband called with an emergency and I forgot the pan for about five minutes. By the time I got back to the pan it was scorched black and the oil caught fire as I rounded the corner. I put the fire out with salt since it was an oil fire and it now sits on the back steps waiting for the smoke to disapate.

HOW do I clean this? It is scorched BLACK. I'll admit I haven't gotten it to the sink yet since it is still hot but this is a new pan and I'd hate to think it is ruined. Any cleaning ideas? I've always cooked in cast iron so the stainles steel is a new experience. Advise please!

Everytime i use my washerdryer in one complete cycle, i have lots of fluff left over in the drum, and have to clean this out each time, sometimes the fluff, gets in the holes of the drum and is hard to access or remove, leaving it to stain any light clothed washes.

Does anyone else have this problem its a hotpoint.
Can i solve it anyway?
