Cleaning & Laundry - September 2007

Don't tell me newspaper, lint free paper towels, lint free rags.
I've tried different cleaners too, and my windows are still smeary. I don't know if something is in the air that is making this do that or not. If somebody has a good answer and it works, I'll let them know.

I am trying to find a LIGHT weight, cordless (plugs into the wall to charge) vacuum cleaner. Our house is mainly tile and the broom is killing my back! ha... The regular vacuum doesn't pick up the little tiny particles, even on the "bare floor" mode...I was thinking some sort of Dirt Devil? We live near the beach so there's always sand, looking for something that will really suck it all up good! Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I was putting clothes away and I didn't realize I accidentally picked up some pieces of laundry that I wanted to air dry. These items were still really wet and the other clothes were completely dry (as I had dried them in the dryer). I went out of town for a few days and today when I opened the drawer I got hit with a HORRENDOUS scent - the smell of mold. I've put all the clothes into the washer since then, but there is still a scent of mold on them. Are the clothes ruined? Can I get the smell out? Help!

I don't like using moth balls because the odor is way too strong. I don't want anything too smelly either because I don't want my clothes to stink. Thanks.

Not long ago I posted about my clothes getting stolen from the laundry facility where I live. I recently saw this little boy wearing the exact same shorts that were taken. I told the office personal and they asked where he lived I told them and soon after they contacted the boys mother. But she said " How can I know what is mine? If we all shop at the same stores!"
She then told office personal that I was more than welcome to check her place. I get there and her daughter answers the door, why would you have your daughter answer the door if you knew I was comming. The entire time the mother is sitting on the couch, her back facing the door. I notice that the little boy is no longer wearing the shorts I saw him in, then the daughter tells me that her brothers are not allowed to go outside.
Ok that was the exact little kid, now there are no two kids alike...

What can I do about this?

Can I make a police report?

i have a lot of shoes that i haven't used for a long time. open toe sandals to strappy sandals..the problem is because they're a bit old some of their material is peeling so it's embarrassing to sell them. most of my cousins have bigger foot sizes so i can't give those that aren't peeling yet to them. any suggestions? they're occupying more space at my closet. thanks!

I recently moved into a very old building with a gorgeous tub. Unfortunately, the tub has not been cleaned in, well, ever.
I've tried Ajax and elbow grease, bleach, lemon juice, vinegar, and even Magic Eraser. The Magic Eraser worked for a little while, but takes far too much effort. I can't resurface the tub, because I rent. Any suggestions?

Why is it that the knobs on washing machines can only be turned clockwise, while the knobs on dryers work in both directions?

continues to heat after we open the door. the motor stops and the drum stops but the heating coils continue to produce heat. the only way to shut off the coils is to turn the selector switch off. normally, i've always been able to open the door and everything would stop. can anybody help?

Hi dear friends, could you please tell me how I should be able to clean the steel blades of my clipper. I have not cleaned nor oiled the blades since I bought it and dirt and thick oil which looks and smells like rust has been formed on the blades which has slowed down the blades. It smells bad too. Also could you please tell me how I should be able to oil it after I clean the blades? Thank you very much in advance. Sincerely, Rojin

My love seat is really soiled and I can't afford to have it cleaned. Also, I am disabled, so I don't know if I can tackle it.
What is the best product to use and the best
method? Would I be better off to get a slipcover?
