I am looking for recommendations for a great daily spray product for the shower that I only need to spray and walk away. No rinsing. Great cleaning job. My shower stall starts to grow mold within a week so want something that would keep mold at bay until I do a thorough cleaning of the shower. (I'm not interested in that automatic spraying product or looking for a recipe for a homemade mix.) I have tried some brands and would just like to know if anyone uses a product they would highly recommend. My shower and I thank you in advance for your advice!

I have sorted and stacked all (ALL) the clothes in our house, and since we're at the change of seasons, EVERYTHING (almost) needs washing. I have about 30 loads total including linens (there are 6 of us)
Our Laundromat has
1. Regular machines for $1.75
2. 3 load machines for $2.50
3. Super big 6 load machines for $5.25

I have never used the giant machines...do they clean well? Will they tear up my clothes? How much soap should I use? Liquid or powder?
I need to buy the detergent, since our washer at home takes only HE...can I get cheap liquid, or do I have to buy Tide?
I just want this laundry DONE. If I do it at home, it will take DAYS (a little over an hour a load in my machine at home in a VERY hot 2nd floor laundry room)
So...whadaya think?

When the flowers have died (boohoo!) and I try to clean the vase, it leaves a nasty 'water line' mark. What will remove this without spending a fortune? Thanks....x

I just moved into my basement for more privacy, its bigger nicer than my old room but theres one problem. The "cat closet" is down here and even though its only opened a crack it reeks of cat litter!

I've used Yankee Candle plug ins .. 2 of them and they worked great for about 2 weeks .. theres still fluid left but they dont smell anymore.

I've use Glade Light show with the scented oil and that works for the same amount if time as well.

I light candles but they do nothing down here.

Does anyone know of a really strong fragrance thing that I can use. I cant take it anymore!!

I need something to pick up rabbit pellets in our bunny room in a hurry. I had a swivel sweeper and it worked great, but it tore up after about 3 months, so my hubby asked me to find something a little better made....

How do you get rid of smell of decomposed meat from a car?
Yes t is gross. I left a bag in the trunk for 3 days and it turned so nasty! I got rid of the bag and the flies but the smell of the trunk went right inside the car. Even washing with tilex didn't help. What do I do? HELP!

my ex ruined a family heirloom, my dad's old heavy sheepskin jacket through years of wearing it whilst smoking, now it's smells gross. I'm not a big fan of the chemicals used in dry cleaning, so is there another way I can clean/treat it???

I noticed at the laundrymat that the water does not appear at the bottom of the window, it only rises just below - presumably filling a basin below that the perforated washer chamber / cylnder spins thru. I know that they've had a problem with patrons putting in too much soap and causing an overflow. I'm wondering if they are reducing the water level in the washer to combat that problem (and cut down on their costs for water and hot water - very cheap place)?

I used the laundrymat today and my clothes seem to be clean and free of soap (the rinse cycle is the same "low water" situation); so maybe the washer is not designed to have water at the height of the door?
