Cleaning & Laundry - December 2007

The last ones we got were microfiber and the salesman swore that the material was good for people who have dogs because dog hair would wipe right off. He was wrong. I want to avoid that same mistake. Can anyone tell me the best material for a couch that dog hair does not stick to-other than leather. Thanks.

to clean? I have to use scoaring pads when I clean my boyfriend's bathroom. His old apt was worst. I know the tub is cheap, but it is quite a job for me when I clean his bathroom. Is there a pre-treatment or a solution to prevent from having to scour pad the tub ever week?

We live in a double wide and we clean all the time, wash curtains, etc. The house still smells horrible. We haven't lived here long and alot of people say the lady that owned it before us didn't take good care of it. Are there any just simple methods for a clean smelling house? Maybe some fragrance sprays or poppuriti (sp?)I just want that kind of pleasant smelling house that smells like home LOL

Also, the tile in my bathroom has stains on it from the previous owner, I have used clorox, mopped several times and can't get them out!!! How can I?

Thanks a million! :)

My 20 year old neice is staying here for the weekend.She left a lighter in her pocket and threw the jeans in the laundry.Luckily I found them,after the wash was done...and before I put them in the dryer.What would have happened if the lighter had made it into the dryer and became hot?I cringe to think...

I know the dangers of teflon for human health. So I am wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative option for saucepan?
and if you can provide the brand name it's even better

I wear a lot of black clothes and a deodorant I tried that claims to "not leave any residue" did just that, so now I got white areas under the sleeves of my black and dark-colored shirts (nice!). Any suggestions on how to safely remove it without having to burn, tear, cut, slash or damage the piece of clothing?

work at Burger King, and ran into a nasty situation yesterday.
One of My Coworkers (we'll call her "Jen") came to work from the gym, like usual. When she was done changing, she went to put her clothes in an empty cupboard, like she always does.
So.. As she was putting her clothes away, she noticed that the Sierra Mist Fountain Dispenser was dripping. She put her clothes on the ground and used her DIRTY SOCK to wipe off the nozzle to stop the dripping.
I wanted to yell at her immediately, but I didn't. I would talk to our manager, but I don't want to be the nark that I'm already harped up tp be.
I was so disgusted by this, and I don't want her to get away with it!
What should I do??!?

My kids were painting Christmas ornaments and they used wax paper under the paint. Some white paint seeped thru the paper and on the table. Is there anything that will take it off without destroying the finish on the table?

So I just washed these new PJ pants for the first time and I put them in the dryer for about 8 minutes before I remembered that the tag said to hang them to dry. Will 8 minutes in there ruin the fabric? I had them on the delicate cycle, not regular (which I think would be hotter). If it helps to know they're pure cotton.

Thanks guys.

I need to get my house ready, I mean really ready, for the holidays. The dishes are washed, the beds are made, etc, but I need to do the extra stuff like dust, clean bathrooms, floors, etc. My question is should I do it now, or wait until closer? Do you clean for the holiday guest that may be comming to see you? I feel better when the house looks really nice, but just can't find the energy to do it. I have had this terrible cold.
