Cleaning & Laundry - September 2007

My oriental rugs are extremley dirty and we paid sooo much money for them and they look terrible. Is there anyway to shampoo them at home? Ive heard of using oxy clean with a brush, any other ideas? Also, how do we dry it once it's wet? Thanks in advance!

some guy just put in new shiny tiles for the floor, but he was messy with the plaster, i tried washing most of it off with a mop, but that wasnt much of a help, is there anything that is specifically for removing plaster, and wont damage the tiles (wont remove the shine off of them)?????

Hi, for the last couple of weeks all the clothes i wash in my washing machine come out stinking!!! Raw, stuffy smell as if they had been there for 2 monthes, not for 2 hours. I have tried chaning my washing powder and my conditioner, different combinations but still that smell is still there. It is really pissing me off!!! Ok, I have other problems, but it is really imprtant for me when I do the washing that clothes smell nice. I checked teh filter too - it is fine, some water came out and that is it. The machine is about 5 years old, but it works fine, it doesnt seem to have any otehr problems. Right now I am covering up the smell in the tumble dryer with some lenor stuff, but it is still not the same. PLease help or I am going to smash that thing!!!

I just got a box full of things I had when I lived somewhere else. They were in a storage unit in Washington for six years. Now there is mildew smell all over everything that has fabric on it that was in the boxes. That means clothes (that aren't white,) TY plushies, a few thick cloth belts, and a few books. Is there a way that I can get the rid of the mildew smell without harming any of these childhood teasures? The TYs don't exactly have washing unstructions, so I have NO idea how to wash those.

I rent an apartment in an older house and the bathtub is really grungy. I clean it with lysol and regular all-purpose cleaners and they get rid of the dirt, but there are still really tough hard water stains. What are some good products and/or techniques for getting rid of that and making my tub and shower look cleaner?

Tide has a detergent called "Cold Water Tide" they claim it is formulated to clean better in cold water. Does it really work any better?
If it does, it could save a lot on water heating.
