It was washed and dried once, since the stain did not appear wet but ended up showing up when it was dried.

It was juice from the Thanksgiving turkey that stained it. What can I do to hopefully remove the stain? Will Shout do it?

I have recently bought a wool coat which I never have bought one before. How do I care for it so moths won't destroy it? I live in the South (almost in Florida). Thank you in advance!

Is there a way I can dry clean my own clothes? I have this black and white dress for choir, and I can't machine wash it because the black will wash off onto the white.

Is there a way that I can wash it or something without having to dry clean it without the black washing off on the white? Here's the dress: http://southeastern-performance-apparel.com/dress.html
The white part is layered onto the black part.
Help! The white part gets stained pretty fast, being right under the armpits.

Ok, we cleaned it out and scrubbed it with pinesoll and Odo-Ban. We threw everything out except the milk and new groceries that havent been opened. We moved the fridge and cleaned under it and there was nothing there. It was very clean, but we recleaned it anyways. We cleaned the freezer too and threw out the ice. We just cleaned the hell out of it! Now I reopened it today and it stinks just the same as before.

I even put two boxes of baking soda in the fridge and two in the freezer a few days ago and it did nothing.

Also, and maybe this is all psychological, but whenever we eat soemthing that has been open in there, like drink we get really bad stomach aches. The fridge is only three years old I believe. It's a Fridgidare. Any suggestions? Could it be a bacteria? please help! I also checked for dead mice and there was none.
Thanks everyone for your kind answers!!!!

From a leather jacket. It was put in to storage a couple of years ago and apparently the box got wet and the jacket is mildewed. I don't want to get rid of the Jacket because it was my husband's. He passed away from leukemia and I want to be able to give this jacket to our daughter.

I wen't to go get the laundry out of the washing machine today and noticed that the drum was way to the back of the machine. I can not get the drum to sit straight. I have tried to pull it back into place but it will not go back. It still works fine, spins makes no noises, realy cleans the cloths just as well. Its just you can see the outside of the drum. How do I fix this?

I put garlic in a glass bottle with a plastic seal inside. (silly idea) The glass is fine, but the plastic part smells awful! It's a good bottle and I don't think it will seal properly without the plastic.

Sometimes when I wash dishes there is almost like sandlike granular material on my dishes. I buy Jet Dry but I was told that is to prevent water stains on dishwashers. How can I clean it out? Someone said a cup of vinegar once a month? Please help!

My room gets so messy so fast! It can be spotless one day, and an hour later, a total pigsty. So what can I do to keep myself motivated to keep it clean? I know what to do, just keep it picked up everyday. But is there anything I can do so that I actually do it? Like hang up something that reminds me or something like that? Any other ideas?

I'm looking for something simple I can do fairly often to get rid of food smells from my microwave. I don't want to replace the smell with another, so I'd like to avoid harsh cleaners. Just something easy so that my tea doesn't taste like chicken nuggets anymore.
