I'd like to know #1) why white garments that arent worn, turn yellow in some areas when the item has sat in either a drawer or closet for a while and #2) how do you get them out? I've taken them to dry cleaners and it's a hit or miss if it works.

How do you keep white socks clean? I washed them in bleach and they still show dirt on the bottoms? Is there a cleaner out there that is strong enough to get the bottoms clean? I tried "Shout" and "Spray & Wash", but they don't work. I don't want to have to soak them in bleach each time I wash them as I don't wear them a lot and don't have enough whites for a whole laundry load. Any suggestions?

I heard about dryel and went to the website. I have been meaning to dry clean my comforter for awhile now, but it's such a pain.
Does anyone know if the dryel bag used in the kit is big enough to fit a queen size comforter? I don't want to buy the kit and then find out the bag is too small.
Thanks in advance for your help.

After about 2 weeks of sitting in the linen closet, my freshly washed sheets smell bad. I live in a very dry climate and the sheets are the only things that smell bad. The blankets are fine. I've tried leaving dryer sheets or bars of soap in the closet, but the sheets still smell like strong minty-pine.

ok you know how there is a type of smell you like and you just don't want to get rid of it, but it goes away just because that's life. Well I don't have just one favorite thing to smell so I will just say one of my favorite things to smell that would be a new car smell

I am having a problem cleaning windows without streaks these days.I use vinigar and water and a dash of dawn and they still streak. I don't know if it is the paper towel maybe it has a lotion in it I have used Viva and bounty but it is worse when I use windex and the streak free kind doesn't help[ at all either.. The best performance I do get is wiping with newspapers. What does anyone have to suggest to help me. I did find a glass cleaner that works pretty well but still streaks. I DON'T want streaks. Help me if you can? Thanks

I know it should be obvious but... I want to try and keep these clothes pretty good. I'm going to wash them delicate cycle with cold/warm water and hang to dry... anyways...

Colors of shirts: black, brown, grey, beige, olive green, light blue with light brown stripes, white.

What's the best way to group these? I realize white should probably be by itself but can I group black/brown/grey? Should beige/olive/light blue go together? See what I mean? It may not matter that much but I just want to try.

Thanks for your help!

We were all ready to buy a Whirlpool Cabrio, and then we read some reviews online saying that they are horrible and Whirlpools service is even worse. So now the wife and are confused on what to get.
She's heard that front loaders leak and get mold on the gasket, and that most top loaders don't clean well or recquire maintenance. Now we do own a Kenmore washer and dryer now, but they came with the house we bought, and we're not sure old they are, but they don't seem to be cleaning or drying cloths very well.
I told her to pick any make and madel she wants, but she's confused on what to spend the money on!!
Help her and me out and recommend a good set!

Thanks
Sean

I'm too depressed to clean house, it's like I just don't care. I don't like taking anti-depressants, and my house wasn't much cleaner when I was on them, anyway. Any suggestions on how to motivate myself?

Where do you find Bluing/Blueing to make your whites whiter?
What is the brand name and what does it look like?
Powder or is it liquid?

Walmart does not have it, nor my local grocery stores.

I have house cleaners that come round and clean my house weekly. They are not a company but just two ladies that offer cleaning services for cash in hand. I had some special expensive floor in my bathroom shiped and made from Sweden and it's hard to get. Yesterday i noticed some massive Like scrathes and gadges have been put in the floor by there hoover. What should i do ? should i just get them to come and have a look at it and see what they want to do first ?
