Cleaning & Laundry - July 2007

I have an off-shoulder frilly blouse that has short sleeves with elastic bands. These are very tight and cut into my skin. Any way I can get them to loosen?

My air conditioner can barely keep the house cool now. It will go down to 80 tonite. What do you think and how can I keep them looking nice and stay cool, preserve energy and so forth?

I have a couple small amounts of mold where my shower tile meets the tub. What is the best way to get rid of it? Already tried Tilex mold remover, didn't work.

I find that just getting in there naked is the best way but I've just recenlty become pregnant and don't really want to be in the confined space breathing those fumes. I also worry about my skin absorbing that nasty cleaning stuff. The bathtub is so much easier but the shower with those tall walls and tight space really poses a problem. One piece of info: I don't have a detachable shower head.

They are 100% wool and specify dry clean only.

Do I let it dry and drop it off at the dry cleaners first thing tomorrow?
Put some stain stick on it, and drop it off at the cleaners?
Put some stain stick on it, and actually wash the pants on delicate?
Or do something else?

I just saw that my kitchen garbage (which is only a few days old) had maggots crawling around in it! I can't do anything with the garbage now since it is the evening, but I double bagged it, then put it out on our upstairs balcony. Will it be okay out there? I also have a closed in area where the stairs are to go downstairs (we live in an upstairs apartment), should I put it there instead? I just don't want them to get worse, but I also don't want flies all over the place.

Or does anyone know of anything I could put in the garbage bag that will kill the maggots??

Thanks!

I was talked into putting in a fine pebble floor in a retail shop and led to believe that the surface after curing would be like a non porous tile. It looked great when the surface was new but it has a porous surface and with customers spilling drinks and what have you it has become difficult to keep it clean. Can pressure washing do a good job and can I get a good quality sealent later to be able to just mop the surface?

I just bought a 12-year old used house. The previous owner obviously did not do a good job to keep the house neat. There is a very strong smelling all-over the house. I am going to change the dirty carpet, hope this can make it better. Does somebody know a good way to control/eliminate this lingering smell? Thanks a lot.

Well, I've taken up the habit of doing my own laundry even tho i haven't even left High School yet, but everytime I get new clothes I fret that I might mess them up by washing them with the wrong clothes. Well, the thing about separating Lights from Darks is elementary, but what of Colours? Are Colours colours that aren't Dark, and are Darks black or any colour that is dark? And there's the matter of some Darks looking like they don't belong with each other, and the same with some Colours. It's all very confusing. Could someone please categorize and clearly define these terms for me, and if possible, include some hints? Oh, and what of multi-coloured clothing - like shirts with a misture of red, black, and white and shorts with a mixture of dark blue, light blue, red, and white - what category do they fall under?

Mine is:: A "steam n' go" thing. It's a thing you put water in and it makes steam so you can steam your clothes...while on the go. .. I've never used it.

I have two dogs ( both jack russells ) and they both still wee in the house . Im not asking why they wee in the house, what I want to know is how to remove the smell. It's in the kitchen, its not on carpet or rug > its on stick-on tiles. I could pull up the tiles & buy new ones but that would cost around £70 and that would be my last option. The smell lingers in the kitchen and the moment you walk in you can smell a strong odour of urine. I'v mopped with bleach and normal kitchen floor cleaners but it still sticks. Any advice would be helpfull. thanks in advance

I am having troubles with my black clothes. Everytime I wash and dry them they always come out with white lint and it looks like tiny white thread is clinging to my clothes. I tried using my black work hat and wiping it clean with a wet rag, but that did not seem to help any. Am I doing something wrong?
