i tried everything, but there are spots that will not go away, because my son has cerebral palsy and he is most of the time sitting on the carpet playing, eating and everything, so any help for tough stains?

My friend is throwing a halloween party and wanted to fill the bath with red food dye for a spooky effect but we're not sure if it will permanently stain it, what do you think?

It's like a thick, cotton type material, my male (steralised) cat urinated on it, eewww!
What, if anything, can I use to get the smell and bacteria out? Thanks.

i have a really bad smell around my washing machine and dryer. Sometimes it smells and sometimes it doesnt. It has been happening for years. It even smelled sometimes when my washer was brand new. It also did it with my old washer. It is the worst it has been. I feel dizzy like it is making me sick. It is a terrible smell. We have pulled the washer out and cant see any mold or wet walls. We washed all the dirty clothes and that cant be it. It is smelling up my entire home. Thanks.

Due to one white cotton garment that got with black cotton clothes in my machine wash, all my black clothes have been completely covered with light fluff from the white garment. despite rewashing all of them, the white very tiny fluff seems to not go off!- I KNOW After they dry I can use a thick sticky tape or the gadget to remove fluff but it will not remove it completely- Is there any home tips anyone has or must I send all of them to a laundry??!! Any home solutions would be of great help- Thanks

I accidently spilled bright pink nailpolish all over the tile of my bathroom floor, and I spent nearly 30 minutes trying to wash out the stain because it seeped into the grout as well. I don't want to be charged for this...how can I remove the pink entirely???

What should I put the comforter in? Someone suggested a garbage bag, but doesn't that seem kind of "trashy?" pardon the pun.
Or am I just being ridiculous? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

i got this 100% cotton crochet knit hoodie from pac sun... and on the care tag it says to machine wash in cold water and then dry flat... but i was wondering would putting it in the dryer damage it?
there's a very similar hoodie at forever 21:
http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=sweaters&product%5Fid=2041623279&Page=1#
and for this hoodie it says to tumble dry low.
so what could happen if i put my hoodie in the dryer? would it collect those little fuzzy balls on it? or something worse?
thanks for your help. =]

When I wash my clothes the collar or the part where your head goes through gets stretched very badly and it ruins my clothes. How do I stop this and is there a way to make my clothes go back to normal?

I'm renting a new apartment. The apartment is 0K. But the last person who lived here covered up all the windows with tape, and bumper stickers.

I took all the tape off, but there's a lot of stuck-on residue from it. I haven't been able to take off all of the bumper stickers, they are really stuck-on. I tried scratching with keys, but I scratched the glass.

Soap doesn't work, neither does alcohol, I tried lemon, and that didn't work either.

Is there anything that can take off that residue that make the windows look dirty?

If the iron wasn't invented we could all wear creased clothes and nobody would be bothered.

Went to Disney's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Tuesday night at Disney World. It poured down raining when we left and we got soaked. Needless to say, the red pirates vest that I was wearing bled into the ivory dress and now I have pinkish stains everywhere on the dress. I've tried prewashing with baking soda and detergent, but it still has pink stains. Anyone know of a "miracle" product that actually works? I've heard a lot about oxyclean or a product by RID, but has anyone ever used them? I hate the fact that the costume seems ruined at this point.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance for your time.

What cleaning product can I use to return the shine to my hardwood floors? Everything I use (even vinegar and water) leaves a matte film look on the floors and streaks. Thanks.

Can you ever REALLY clean them? They are fibrous and aborbant and so have to have bacteria on them - at lease more so than a plastic or metal spoon. Why are they still used?
