I have a 50 year old yearbook that is in pretty good condition except for an awful mildew smell. Is there a way to get rid of the smell?

We've just moved into a new place... It's small, but very nice looking... as I'm decorating etc I would like to have a pleasant smell throughout the apt.

I've bought glade plug-in's, and candles of the same scent as the plug in... Yet when you walk in the door, it's still the same stale smell...

Our place is kept clean (other than the clutter of toys from our boys)

I would like to have a pleasant smell upon walking through the door..
I have a husband and two boys, so it's always a difficult task..

Any ideas??

The scents I love the most are apple/cinnamon

I can take off the material of the part that we sit in and machine wash it but I don't know what I can use to clean the rest of it and it's a two tone beige color. Can someone give me an idea and product that I can use? Thank You

The coat was left on a radiator airer, which melted palstic into the fibres of a gorgeous coat I am not willing to part with! Have tried: nail polish remover, white spirit, ironing it with brown paper, with kitchen roll - to no avail. A bit gets removed, but nowhere near enough. Please please help!!!

I opened up the fridge a couple days ago to discover a bad odor. It was the milk! I dont know what to do with it. DO i pour it down the drain? Do I throw it away container and all? Both seem illogical. What do I do? I dont want to live with this smell any longer.

I hope someone can tell me why people continue to buy expensive products that contain ingredients that pollute their own air? Room sprays contain known carcinogens but they are flying off the shelves. Most cleaning products contain triclosan which, when mixed with chloronated water, gives off a toxin and known carcinogenic gas (chloroform) but people keep buying the stuff. Why is that? Natural products are cheaper, don't bother allergies, don't contribute to cancer risks and work just as well.

Can anyone tell me why people continue to pay for products that increase their risk of cancer and other bodily harms?

Will Arm & Hammer Baking soda work?

I was hauling some old solvents (automotive products, cat flea spray, etc.) in a box to the dump. Something must have leaked but I don't know what. It may have been the Garden and Bug spray because that is what is smells like. What can I do to get it out of my seat that does not require getting it professionally removed? I don't think it is too saturated, at least it did not feel that way upon touching.

I want

2. to get rid of the fleas in the carpet, (have tried sprays and hoovering - not working)

does a steam mop get the dirty marks out? would it be better 2 shampoo it?

When your washing dishes at home and you dont have a dish washer, do you fill the sink with water or do you just wash them under running water? Also, is one better than the other as far as germs go.
For both assume you are using hot water. And you are using soap and a spunge.

Ive always just done it under running water but my fiancee gets angry when i do it that way, she says that they dont get
as clean as soaking them. Now my family has always done it that way and we never sick no where near how much my girls family gets sick doing it by soaking. Im not saying thats why people fet sick, but... well you get it.....

I need this for an AP Chem Lab that I just did over titration, but I can't find the numbers anywhere. I highly doubt somebody actually has the percentages, but I thought I might as well ask.

I found a little surprise earlier this evening when cleaning, and when getting rid of the rotten fruit, it spilled some kind of juice on the floor, and now it smells. It's an annoying bannana smell, but I still don't like it. What can I do to start getting rid of this smell tonight?
Thanks

I would appreciate it if anybody could give me some ideas on how to get a paint stain-i'm not sure what type of paint it is-out of one of my friends' shirts I had borrowed. Well, it was homecoming week at my school and my class needed to wear orange shirts and my best friend borrowed me one in which I didn't wear so I let my other clumsey friend wear it without consenting my best friend about it. turns out she wore it to art class and got a whole bunch of paint on it-she says it's waterbased paint but I don't think so. I've tried everything to get this paint stain out of the shirt; such as:
-Hairspray
-Rubbing Alcohol
-Clorox stain remover
-tide-to-go
-oil
-OOPS!
-Laundry detergent.
-Nail polish remover
-and i washed it and scrubbed it many times.
the stain has fadded a little bit from its original stain but it's still bad. I don't want to tell me friends and I don't know where to get another one.
and the shirt is an orange 100% cotton one i'm pretty sure. ideas? THANKS!! :]

my fiance and his friend got drunk saturday 2 weeks ago and made some orange juice in our blender and drank it. i told him since he made the mess while drunk, he was cleaning it up. he of course thought i would break down and end up doing it because i would get tired of seeing it sit there. well 2 weeks later, its still there and i looked in it today and there was little specs of black mold all over the blender. is this harmful? how should he clean it now?
