Cleaning & Laundry - August 2007

I want to know what types of brooms are recommended for sweeping up wet and dry foliage. Not only for use outdoors, but indoors as well--such as a floral work shop.

My husband dropped a big dollop of ranch dressing on a colored tee shirt. He wiped immediately and I used Shout Ultra Gel right after that on both sides. Now what, cold water? Warm? Oxy-clean? Soak? Another dose of Shout before that?

I use Gain Apple Mango Tango - yummy! I also use the matching dryer sheets. However, when I take my clothes out of the washer, they don't smell like the detergent at all. In fact, they smell sort of wet/mildewy. I throw them in the dryer with one to two dryer sheets, and when I pull them out, the damp smell is gone, but I don't smell the dryer sheet either. If I want the clothes to smell nice, should I be using a liquid fabric softener as well? Or maybe switch detergents? I have used others before, but it has been awhile and I can't recall if I had this problem. Also, if I forget the clothes in the washer for several hours, when I pop the washer lid, they smell just awful! Friends say theirs won't smell after only a few hours. Could it be the water? I have normal water through the city, not a well. Any ideas?

Usually I like to use a damp towel to clean the floor because vacuum cleaner is too heavy and too noisy to me. Any good ways to clean the floors? Thanks.

Most of my clothes are Hand Wash Only and today I bought a washer that has a hand wash cycle on it. Even though it says hand wash I'm still a little afraid of putting my hand wash only clothes in it. Has anyone done this before that can give me a positive (or negative if you really had one) experience so I won't be so scared to put my clothes in there? I'd be devistated if they ruined! But I really don't have time anymore to hand wash my clothes.

please answer only if you haveFOUR PLUS bedrooms in your home. Do you clean the house yourself? Also, do you work full time, too?

And if you do work full time, and clean the house, is it because you don't want a maid, can't afford it, or the reason, please.

As you should change your underware everyday
-How do you wash your underwears? Do you wash them separately or with other clothes?
- How often you wash your underwears? (everyday?)

-Do you handwash them or you use machinewash?

We have very hard water and have water spots on everything. The build up on the heating element worries me that it could be a fire hazard. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I want to make a Bleach and Vinegar Cleaning Solution to take out Cat Odors. What would be a good ratio of "Bleach and Vinegar" to Water? I don't want too much Bleach, as it might Bleach the carpet too much... THANKS! Ms. Chirps
