I have just moved into a home with tile flooring..absolutely no carpeting anywhere in the house. I have noticed that the floors get very dirt , very fast. Especially with a two year old. It seems that everything sticks to our feet and we spread it throughout the house. Dust is everywhere and it collects horribly under the furniture..oh how I miss my carpet : ( Anyways , I know some of this may be inevitable..but I am looking for some easy quick cleaning tips to clean these floors. How often should they be done and is there any ways to minimize dirt in the house? I was thinking a "no shoes past the dining room sort of thing" maybe that will help. Anyways..any ideas?

We have a large capacity washer where I work. (Speed Queen) When it was on the spin cycle this weekend the sheets exploded through the glass. It completely shattered and scattered the viewing window. It blew screws out of the front panel and into the wall. Has anyone ever heard of this happening before? Does anyone have any theories as to how this occurred? Should Ralph Nader write a new book..."Unsafe on Any Cycle."

Thanks in advance.

and steam cleaned and vacuumed up baking soda. I have vacuumed probably 8 times in the last 2 days. What is wrong with this carpet, I don't know what else to do. Everyone has to wear socks in the house or wash your feet before going to bed and such. Anybody else have this problem?

If you find mold growing on a blender or other kitchen appliance, is it safe to use antibacterial soap and rinse under hot water, or should I throw it away?

This radiator is only about a inch away from the wall and an inch off the floor, added to the fact that there a windowsill overhanging it above. Over the years, small books, papers and other "junk" had fallen behind it and I can't get my hand in back of there to clean it out. Any ideas what to do? Thanks in advance.

So I tried to clean up my friends iron, that had this big dark stain on it, it I suceded... a little... but now it is scratced and I can see copper (little red) color layer where used to be the stain. The iron surface is grey in general. Is it safe to iron with that (I mean manufactorrs can blend al sorts of substances together, can I be sure that with heat any harmuful mircoscopic things won´t get out of there, and any metal fractions won´t get to the fabric, cos I am allergic to some of metal things) or should I buy a new be bought? Dont really wanna buy a new one, if not necessary! I´m thankful for advise!

I used to use vinegar based natural homemade cleaners but both me and my husband couldn't stand the house smelling like vinegar all the time - my husband is a mechanic and we have four cats, so I do a lot more cleaning than the average household. I tried adding EO's but found it barely masked the vinegar and didn't mix well in the solution anyway. I also found it may disinfect, but didn't clean as well as I would have liked for an all purpose cleaner. (yes, I've tried baking soda, but it's a pain to use on all surfaces because of the residue it can leave if you don't get it up perfectly.)

I fell back on Mr. Clean Multipurpose cleaner and it cleans much better and much more pleasant smelling, but I know it's not antibacterial. I don't want to switch to a real antibacterial cleaners due to more harsh chemicals than whats in Mr. Clean.

I was thinking about a compromise that would safe AND effective- in a 24 oz spray bottle I was thinking halfs vinegar/water with one tbspn Mr. Clean...?

I normally change every day. But i'm sick and tierd of the amount of washing i seem to accumulate. I live by myself and pay for the costs of all bills, water, electricity and heating so I don't want the expense of doing laundry everyday. I live in a small house and don't have a working dryer so were to put things to dry is always a problem.

Do you use cedar chips or what? We have some pictures that were from my wife's mother and she had them stored in a basement and they smell musty and we don't know what to do. Thanks.
