I really have tried to get the stain out and I can't get it out! It's a red dress with a white apron atatched to the front and the stain is on the white part! I have tried some stain remover and dish soap and regular laundry soap and it's in for it's 5th wash this week right now! I know NOT to dry it so I haven't done that I've just been washing it and the stain will not even fade! Please some one help my 21st birthday/costume party is this weekend and I really don't think I have enough time to order another costume from online!

That's what it'll cost me to buy a new washer and dryer. Almost every time I wash my clothes and my towels when dry the towels will have a horrible moldy like smell. Yes, I wash and put them in the dryer right away. The clothes have never just sat in the washer or dryer, It's not the detergant. It's driving me crazy. I was thinking we might have to drain the hot water tank. But my husband says it would be obvious if the colour was bad or it would smell. We have a major construction site down the road. I thought maybe it's a water problem. If you have any ideas I would appreciate knowing them.

Yes, I know I'm stupid, but I used a copper scrubber to clean our bathroom tub. (It had a handle, I thought it would be easier) As soon as I noticed the scratches, I stopped. My husband notices everything. I tried to clean them off, but they're still there. Help

I'm 23; I'm moving out of my house. One of the things I'm thinking about is that I won't have a washing machine.

I went to the lanudromat, and realized a lot of people wash their clothes there. A lot of people you just don't know where they've been.

Could my clothes catch something that could later make me sick?

By increasing airflow through the PC and adding hepafilters, one can get cleaner indoor air and cheaper electrical bills.

Once I threw the flaming napkin into the sink it went out. However, it left a brown mark in the sink that I can't seem to get out. What should I use to clean the sink and get rid of the "burn" marks. Ps- The sink is just regular, nothing special like marble or anything. The burn color is a light brown around the top of the sink.

People have told me my bedroom smells of old socks and I do on occasion leave some clothes lying about on the floor. My window is always open too but this doesn't seem to be helping.

What can I do?

I spent quite a bit of money cleaning my carpet with a private company owned by one guy. Now, the carpet is getting darker again where the high traffic areas were, and I am really dissapointed! I actually became kind of friendly with the carpet cleaning guy, helping him with creating flyers and other things to help him with his business. I want to tell him I am not happy with the carpet, but it seems difficult now that we are friends. What should I do???

I have a Little Tykes kid couch. My cat peed on it. I can take the cover off, but the smell is in the foam, too. Can I wash the foam in the washing machine? If not, any suggestions on how to get the smell out?
