Cleaning & Laundry - July 2007

I need to rent a steam cleaner to clean a commercial kitchen. I dont need it for carpeting. Does anyone know the best place to rent them in the Chicago land area? Also, does anyone know if they make any that two people can use at a time?

I have a blue shirt that has pink splotches and a tan shirt with light splotches, to name a couple.
1. Why would this happen if I did not use bleach, and I did wash only similar colors in one load?
2. How can I prevent this from happening again?
BTW I'm using Tide. Thanks for your help.

Somewhere (maybe a housekeeping magazine) I read a tip that the sun outside deodorizes fabrics. It encouraged people to put pillows, cushions, etc. outside in the sun to air them out but also kill germs/deodorize. I am curious how much truth there is to this. I am also spraying everything with Febreze anti-allergen. It's for stuff you can't necessarily wash.

I have a very stubborn stain that wont come off. Its on my white cotton jacket. It’s a brown stain. I think I might be poop because I was holding a baby, and his diaper leaked. It’s a little stain, but bugs me so much. I tried many things.

- bleach
- tide-to-go
- Clorox bleach pen
- stain sticks
- surf

apparently its coming off, and I have to wear it soon. ( my new one is in the mail its going to take a while coming) If you have any suggestions about how I can get the stain out please let me know. Thank you.

I have a very small bedroom and I do not know where to place the comforter when I go to sleep. I end up putting it on the floor by the end of the bed but I do not want it to get dirty. I do not have space in the room for a chair or any additional furniture. Is there a way to fold it to make it easier to make the bed...etc...

Before moving into my "new" place, I would prefer to get rid of the disguesting odor of cigarette smoke. I'm planning to steam clean the carpets, but what else can be done to rid the place of this odor?

Just got 4 brand new shirts. They all are 100% cotton with different colours and patterns. How do I wash them using a machine for the first time? What is the setting on the machine (water temp, speed, etc)? Can I wash them all together? Can I wash them with other non-brand new cloth? Do I have to turn them inside out?

How about drying them in a dryer? And, tricks on ironing them?

Had to ask to be sure I keep them in top shape for a long time. Thank you so much!

My husband and I moved to a new flat before our baby was born, however the location is near forest, it is very dump and recently we noticed mold growing in our bedroom, even in our wardrobe. I have got headaches from the smell, allergy like symptoms, there is mould behind our bed, even in the wardrobe and our shoes, suitcases and even baby's pram is covered with a green mould. Can it be harmful?

I have just got rid of a mould problem in my bathroom but am left with pink staining on the grouting between tiles. How do I remove this? Mould and mildew sprays haven't touched it. Also, there's mould along the bottom of the shower curtain. It gets washed regularly so I know there's no spores on it but I hate the staining, does anyone know how I can remove it? I have bought a new one but I love the colour on this one and would love to be able to save it and not have to throw it away unless I have to.
Thanks in advance x

I used a brush with warm water and dawn. This didn't work. Also tried vinegar but that didn't cut greasy film. What else can I try. It's dull and lost it's shine and feels rough. Thanks.
