My son had some friends stay the nite for his birthday on Friday, however, one of the boys had an "accident " and peed on my couch. I tried the vinager cleaning and that did not help any. Other than having it steamed clean by professionals, what can I do to get it out of my couch?

I was going to buy the Kenmore calypso elite but have read the reviews and realized it's a terrible machine. Pretty but useless. I'm wondering what else to consider for a long life and good service in washer and dryer. Thanks.

Ok, so I have quite a quandary!

My husband's t-shirts have a persistent stink. It smells like mildew and dirt. I cannot get rid of the rank odor! Here are the details:

-I do our laundry together
-The only things that stink are his shirts (not my clothing, not his pants or underwear, not socks, nothing! just his t-shirts!)
-The stink isn't always apparent immediately after washing; sometimes it comes out after he wears the shirt (we think his body warmth "brings out" the smell)
-The shirts in question are both often-worn shirts and infrequently-worn shirts
-I have used baking soda in the wash, followed by vinegar.

What the heck is going on????

So what's the best way to make your clothes last a long time!

Some of my shirts are starting to fade in color.
I got some holes in some of my shirts. Don't know if i hot it on something, or it's like that naturally. Or maybe that shirt was so thin feeling, and it wasn't that strong.

So i wear dark color clothes. I wear Black, Grey, Olive, sometimes green, brown, and that's about it.

So how do I get my clothes to last. From the washing to the hanging and storing.

Surely there is a proper or very effective way to maintain clothes.

So what are good detergants. I just use the Costco brand detergant. THe white powderly stuff. I use cold water only. Then I put in these Costco "Kirtland" softener sheets into the dryer. I put the drying on low. Then I just hang my shirts after i get them out, and i just toss my boxers, and socks in a box. Then jeans I kind of just shake them a bit and fold them.

What can I do better?

My husband left a gel ink pen in his uniform shirt and an entire load of laundry has now been washed and dried. (I always check the pants but I didn't even think to check his shirt!!!)There is ink on EVERYTHING!! I need to get it out if it is possible because ALL of his uniform shirts were in the laundry too. Mostly everything is cotton except his uniform shirts, they are polyester.

Help. Being a lazy untidy male who now lives alone as my ex wife threw me out and my mum is dead, I am not used to using hoovers at home but I have got a Henry vacuum cleaner and the seller sold 5 bags with it. But after the first bag got full and I dumped it I found it impossible to find out how to insert one of the new bags being thick about that sort of thing. So as my house was getting a bit grubby I therefore left the bag out and switched on and found it worked brilliantly! I note on another recent Yahoo Answer some said emptying bagless vaccuum cleaners is bad news But when emptying time came around I put a boiler suit on and took it outside and empted it in bin and then had a bath which I needed anyway then carried on using it. So no problem whatsoever. So is there any reason why I need to put a bag in? I mentioned it to somebody at work who thinks that if you use a Henry without a bag it will blow up? Is that true?
