I just got a great used couch--but it has smoke in it!!! I can't keep it if I can't get the fumes out because my middle son is very allergic to them.

Its just a question, im not judging anyone here. At night when i put out my garbage bags (they are in my garbage bins) i notice in the AM that someones been sifting through my garbage and all the cans are missing. Do you really make big $ off of doing this? I really dont mind but at least put the bags back in my garbage can and dont leave me the mess to clean up! Agree???

Someone left food in a refridgerator for a few days and it rotted. I cant get rid of the smell, tried some cleaners and baking soda, but it still smells awful. Any suggestions?

I have very hard water that leaves a thick film on my dishes in the dishwasher, and I want to know if lemon or vinegar would help fix the problem, and if it would be safe for the dishwasher. I know that lemon would be safe, but will vinegar be safe if I put it in the dishwasher with the dishes, and would it work?

I am a natural pack-rat, thus my room is a complete sty. My room is fairly large but you can no longer see the floor as it's covered with clothes (both clean and dirty), trash, an exercise machine, lots and lots of books and papers, craft supplies, etc. I would like to clean my room in the next few days...any thoughts and suggestions? And, how can I *keep* my room clean and organized?

My bathroom is also very gross and needs help. What cleaning supplies do you recommend?

I have the yellowish stains on our bath tub. I have tried the clorox bleach pen and the mr. clean magic magic eraser and nothing. The bleach pen just left a yellowish circle around it and the eraser did nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm doing huge loads of laundry because i'm taking out all my fall clothes and washing them... does it matter if i put the lighter colors at the bottom of the load or the darker?

The stains were left by various colognes and cosmetics either alchohol or chemical based. It appears that they have taken the smoothness from the varnish.

Always wanting to find more natural (and less chemical) ways to clean, especially laundry, I've been wanting to try those oxygenated laundry products. I've tried Oxy Clean laundry spray, and found it doesn't work as well as, say, Spray-n-Wash. So I wondered....has anyone tried the laundry detergents? Do they work as well as they say? Or not as good as they're cracked up to be, like I found the pre-soak to be?

And how do you know if there is too much stuff in it? Sometimes I wonder if I pack it too much, but the lid is still able to close.

I got my new gym sneaker's dirty and washed them. I hung them outside to dry and it rained. I guess the rain made them smell musty. What should I do to get rid of the smell?

Does anyone know what can be used to rid the musty order of baseball caps or workout gear? I have tried the hot water and stuff in the washer but no luck. So any advise on the smelly issue would be appreciated.

Thanks

Even though I throw mine in the washer with bleach and wash them throughly several times I hear they sustain lots of germs and bacteria. Is that true? Plus they get bulky in the laundry. This past weekend I threw away ALL the old pillows in the house and bought new ones. Yay!

I have a good vaccum, not the best in the world, but decent... My dog is a German Shepard mix, and her hair is so wirey that it gets stuck deep in the carpet. Is there any kind of powder or spray that will help?
