What is the best way to get rid of the dog poo smell from sneakers. It got into the treads so I blasted them off with the hose but they still smell. I hit them with febreeze odor eliminator but no change. Any tricks out there? I know it sounds ridiculous but they stink and I'm going out tomorrow for lunch with friends...... Thanks!

my mom gave me a very nice coffee maker that she had originally bought for my sister. it quit working so she was going to throw it out. i brought it home and ran vinegar through it. after cleaning it many times it eventually started working. the problem now is that i can't get it completely cleaned. i have ran vinegar and water through it about 12 times and it still has stuff flushing out. does anyone have any idea what i can do to completely clean this coffee maker?

I'm not lazy, just scared of getting cut by the blades and it doesn't have a "wash" or "clean" button like other blenders. I put a drop of soap inside with some water and blend it but it doesnt clean it very well so I always end up doing it by hand. Here is a pic of the model I have, it is hamilton beach 10 speed blender...

So, can I put it through the dish washer? I don't have the box or any instruction manuals so I'm really not sure, does anyone else know?

Other than baking soda. There used to be a product called Jubilee years ago however they have taken it off of the store shelves and I'm unable to find an equivalent.

I have a Jet Pilot MVP woman's vest that has gotten grungy. Can I just hand wash it with Woolite? Or should I use no soap products at all? There is no tag for how to clean it and I don't see anything on their website regarding cleaning.

How do you remove mildew from a material that resembles a potato sack/canvas material?
My kids left a beach bag on the floor of my shed and now it is all mildew.
I tried Oxyclean-------nothing.
I tried leaving it in the sun for a week-------nothing.
I tried Grease Lightning----------nothing.

I do not want to use bleach being it has a solar changing color print on it and dark green handles. Any suggestions?

OH! and where do you find "bluing" (what brand is it called and look like) for whiting whites?
Not in Walmart or my local grocery store.

I spilled some pasta sauce (alfredo, not marinara) on my modal/cotton/Lycra shirt, and it left a small oily-looking spot. What products can I use to get it out? How should I wash the shirt?

Please help - this shirt is brand new and I don't want to throw it out!

We recently cleaned our house and tried to clean our tuop bedroom windows which had some sort of clear water looking stains on them. My mom thinks its acid rain or something and we`ve tried vinegar, window cleaner plus, rubbing alcohol, amonia, and two other cleaners offered by some window specialists. Wondering if anybody else has any suggestions on removing window stains. Also, I don`t know if this has any importance but my dad thinks the windows are defective and trapped some water in between the panes or something. I`ve seen at least 3 of our neighbors replacing their upper level bedroom windows as well as their sliding glass door. Is it defective or can I try something else to clean it?

man this is so irritating. time and time again after 45 min of having a light load in different dryers, my stuff still doesn't get dry. its usually my socks and that frustates me beyond imagination because i want to put on a warm dry pair when im done. but i noticed my boxer briefs are still damp too. the towel doesnt bother me and suprising enough the jeans are usually dry. i even took everything out and let the socks dry by themselves for another cycle and it didnt work

We just inherited a cherry dining room set and buffet from my mother-in-law. I've always used Orange glo, Murphy's oil soap, Pledge or Endust before to clean and polish wood furniture.

But for whatever reason, this table gets a waxy buildup on it when I use any of those products (it is sealed wood, though I'm not sure if its shellac or varnish or poly) on it has a smeary, greasy look on it.

Are there any other items I could try that won't harm the wood at all? Its not vintage, its a set she purchased at Ethan Allen about 5 years ago.

Any ideas of other products or methods would be greatly appreciated. For the time being I've just been polishing with a microfiber cloth, but I would like to be able to polish it as well every month or so.

I have had my Hotpoint for a few years but just recently the softner is not emptying into the wash. It must be gunged up somewhere! I've cleaned the draw thoroughly, any other suggestions?
