Has anyone else found it is not as good at getting out stains as it is hyped up to be? I've been disappointed every time I've used it. Which brand do you prefer?

Men’s suits become shiny over time. A friend told me that the reason is that they are not sent to the cleaners often enough. However, I understand that if you send them to the cleaners to often they get damaged.

Its not a matter of the timer or the belt, or the water no getting to it. I believe its the power. You can go to turn it on and it just won't do anything. I don't hear any noise and I don't smell anything. We tried resetting the power but that didn't do anything.

What gives?

Okay, well I accidentally caused a small fire in my microwave. The smell is not the problem, I know how to fix that. It's just that the once white microwave is now solid black. Once I tried to clean it, now it's just kind of grey and still black in some areas. Is there anyway to restore the white in the microwave?

My maid is on leave and I don't know what she uses to clean my floors. Everything from the store as "hardwood floor cleaners" leaves LOTS of streaks. I remember her saying something about using white vinegar... any suggestions???

Wonderful people of Y!A,
I am one of those bright youngsters with Attention Deficit Disorder you're always reading about in Newsweek - except that God knows Newsweek editors would never allow a photograph of me to be printed between their covers. :D Rather predictably, I'm a horrid housekeeper. My mother, with whom I still live at the overripe age of 20, was just gone for a month, and I tried to keep the place decent-looking - but failed. Now, I have the day to make the place look tidy.

AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!111!!1!!!

What tips do you have for cleaning quickly and well, and staying on task? This is more to the effect of mess removal than careful polishing and deep-cleaning, though I will probably find some awful stain to remove somewhere along the way. :-/ Forgive me, Gods Of Housekeeping, for I have sinned! :D

Your tips?

My husband can't seem to part with certain magazines,which is creating a storage issue. I am currently using large plastic containers that are stackable but that still takes up too much room. There is probably 200 magazines.

Bought a bed set but even after my first wash the comforter and sheets are still somewhat scratchy. Would a fabric softener work? What's the best way to soften them, can I even?
