This isnt just any clothing, Its Army gear so it is like a polyester. The duct tape was stuck on them for about a year then pulled off. All the sticky stuff came off but theres still stains from where it was. I have tried Goo-Gone and Oxy Clean. Any Suggestions?

I was given a stuffed soft Opus penguin, but it's gotten dingy. I've vaguely heard I can put it in the washer. Gentle cycle, normal? And how do I keep the insides from mildewing if not totally dry? Any advice?

the oven came with the house. it has the 'self-cleaning' function. i have never used it before and don't have the manual. i read about it online. it seems like i just turn on that function and it will burn all the dirty things in the oven into ashes. i am still a bit wary though. the oven will be a very high temperature and run for some time, i imagine, which sounds like a safety hazard. can you share your experience with me? Thank you.

So I just started a new job working with food, especially this flour mixture, when it gets wet though it clumps up and makes this paste, and it gets all over my pants and shoes, and I'm finding it really hard to get off, anyone have any suggestions? At the moment I'm washing my pants 3 times before work to get it out, and I try scrubing the shoes off with a sponge, and then banging them outside but it only gets some of it off

Earlier today one of my mums friends put my mums best silk karen millen top in the washing machine. It is designed to be hand washed and now the bottom is crinkled and it has lost the colour.

Is there any way i can get it fixed or is it ruined completely?

I need to know how to wash my backpack. It has light dirt on it, I've had it for about 2 years. I've never washed it before. It's light pink all over, and has 2 bottle holders on the side. It says on the tag, DO NOT WASH IN MACHINE, and don't use detergent, and hand wash only, but I need to know HOW to wash this backpack.

I've been living in a crappy *** apartment for the last 7 years. It is far better than the last ones I've lived in, experiencing cockroach infestations, maggot infestations, termite infestations, bad housing, bad neighbors, etc. This one isn't too good either though: Flea infestations, horrible neighborhood, etc.

Ever since my mom died, we've gone down hill and we haven't been as clean as we used to, if you consider the condition of the apartment at first when we moved in as "Clean".

Well, now we have a house party of some kind of fly or moth laying maggots every now and then on our food shelf. I asked dad if we can all band together and clean the damned apartment. He hasn't gone around and helping yet. My brother isn't of help either. Plus, he doesn't want to move for one reason or another while me and my brother begged to move.

Now my question is this: How do I rid of the flies and maggots efficiently, cheaply, and quick? Moving is out of the question.

On the tag it says machine wash COLD and tumble dry low.
I was just wondering that if I wash it with cold water, wouldn't the shirt STILL be a little dirty even after the wash?
(I usually do machine wash warm but I noticed shirnkage...)
Thanks

Hi, I am not a neat freak, and I am selling fabrics on ebay now and when I go to iron them there are dog hairs, a few and lint on them. Is there some kind of air filter I can operate/buy to clean/filter the air as it circulates so it kind of removes this hair before it settles on the fabrics ?? and what is it called and where do I get it and how expensive is it and if I knew what it was called I could search Also fixed income here, so best least expensive way thanks so much for all of the help I get on here

I had a half gallon jug of Almond oil in the trunk of my car. I guess from rolling around in the trunk, the lid loosened up and came off. The whole 1/2 gallon of oil soaked the trunk of my car. About a month later, I noticed it seaping through to the back seat. Now after a year of trying to soak it up, shampooing it with my own shampooer, and getting it professionally shampooed, I cannot get the oil out of my seat or trunk! Now its starting to smell like old, stale oil. I have been Febreezing it, but i really want to get the oil out WITHOUT replacing the back seat and truck. Any suggestions?
