Cleaning & Laundry - October 2007

I already "fogged" the bathroom, but I think they're living way up inside the fan. As a serious arachnophobe, this is really freaking me out. Any advice?
thanks so much.

I am finishing a cloak out of cotton velour in a beautiful shade of jade. I love the material. However I was thinking about weatherproofing it and had several recommendations for Nikwax. Has anyone ever used weatherproofing? Did you like it? And do you know if cotton velour can be machine washed (as thats how you weatherproof it)? Thanks!

According to Nikwax site, it is fine for cotton. But there is no mention of velour fabrics.

What is your suggestion to whiten up white washcloths? Washing in regular detergent does not really get the deeper dirt, and eventually they get so dingy looking. What do you suggest? Bleach does not seem to help.

i've lost the manual for this and need help! i've swallowed up a few pencils using the attachment and i can hear them rattling around, but they're not yet in the cylinder....where are they? they're not in the flexi tube, so i'm assuming there are some filters that i don't know about??

As of the same concept of flushing the toilet, we can use the same idea to clean the sink. Idea is to use to have it "dirtier" places like big kitchens, workshops or art studios where people get their hands real dirty.

I have a front loading washing machine. LG.It smells like mold so bad I can"t take it any more. Even after a wash the clothes smell like mold so bad I have to take them to a laundry mat to get the smell out. Any body know any solutions to this problem? Is there a place where water accumulates that I don't know of? The machine is 2 years old and I clean the front filter all the time but this does no good.I have well water, does this have any thing to do with it.? My water other wise does not smell.

The pen didn’t bust on me, its just a one line mark 2inches I accidently made while putting my backpack on after class with my pen in my hand. The shirt is red and 100% cotton. Now I read lots of Y! Answers that say hair spray, which I have as well as alcohol square swabs. But I need to know how do I apply it or apply any other recommended solution. Do I just spray it and let set or do I brush it in, or spray and throw on the washer? And do I add detergent? No sorry I can't let it go its my favorite shirt. Thanks!

I know that water will affect the appearance of leather jackets but shoes seem unaffected, so what about leather belts?

A while back, one of our containers of rice had lots of little bugs in it, which we assumed were weevils. We got rid of that rice, and have since been checking all the rice we buy and putting it in clean, sealed containers. Since then though, our rice keeps getting contaminated. How do these bugs keep getting into our sealed containers?
