Cleaning & Laundry - December 2007

One of my sprinklers is damaged and it shoots water up like an errupting volcano. The water lands on my windows and as a result of that, they have got stained from the hard water -- I live in the desert and water sucks here, despite the fact that I do have a water softener. Does anyone know how I can remove these hard water stains? Thanks!

It starts to smell if I don't clean it out each day but I feel bad for wasting trash bags when I take it out only 1/4 full. Any tips to neutralize odors? I live in a small apartment and it becomes very apparent. I am not sure what the smell comes from - I just have the usual in the trash like fruit peels, packaging, etc.

I am considering getting a new carpet remnant for my living room (over my hardwood). I got one two years ago, but EVERYONE walks on it with their shoes on, and now it looks gross. How can I politely get people especially with snowy or wet shoes to not ruin my carpet?

My town received heavy rainfall and minor flooding last week. We have been under a boil water advisory for a week. It seems mostly precautionary. I have dipped into my emergency supply of bottled water for drinking. But what about washing dishes? Any tips? Would you wash with hot water from the tap? If not tips on how to boil water and get an optimal temperature to wash?

My husband is a former Marine, so you know he is fanatical about neatness and everything in it's place. The thing is, we have a 6 month old that is nursing, an 18 month old that is into everything as soon nas I can clean up. The laundryroom is in the basment and i can't leave two babies up stair alone so of course the laundry is mounding up like kilamonjaro. This all makes my husband not very happy. He tries to help me, but usually ends up watching football. what can i do? i am trying to stay up at night to get things done, but with a nursing baby i have to stop like every two hours to feed her! HELP!

We are a very active family of four. I do at least 5 loads of washing a week. We have a lot of designer and top quality items that i darent tumbled dry, i do have a small utility room but no room to hang clothes.
Im really struggling to get things dry now with the weather so wet and cold. They are currently hanging on a clothes horse in our dining room next to the raidiator. But it doesnt look good!! and we'll be getting a lot of visitors over the Christmas period and i dont want them to see that!

When i visit other homes i never see clothes all over raidiators or anything, so i wondered how you all do it?

She has expressed that she wants it, and I'm concerned that it's not going to work that great for her. One of my siblings has suggested that we each chip in for Christmas. I'm happy to do so, but I'm afraid that it would be money wasted. The dog sheds A LOT, and she's got so much furniture and clutter that I think it might be ineffective. She's the type to be more likely to set it aside if it didn't work, rather than return it and get something else. Have you owned one? What did you think? What should I do?

But doesn't stain. Something that can be applies to carpets. I've tried stink bomb powder, liquid *** and grinded plant roots that smell like stink feet but they only last for about an hour.

all you do is put your clothes in and put some detergent, close the door, spin the thingy then pull it
after washing you transport the clean wet clothes to the dryer, put in the soft paper thingys, close the door and push the button
HOW HARD IS THAT?!?!
