We have a puppy, and my kids have a habit of grabbing a dirty towel to wipe up puddles.
I wash them in warm water with liquid Tide and use liquid downy+febreze. I've tried soaking them overnight, i've tried nature's miracle, and added a cup of baking soda to the machine. I tried vinegar, and then I had pee + vinegar scented towels....very lovely.
Is there anything else I can do besides toss em? We're talking 14 towels.....7 people's worth, so it won't be cheap to replace them.

When preparing chicken, I tend to take the skin of it before cooking it. However, doing this leaves my hands greasy. Regular soap doesn't take this residue away well. Dish detergent does for the most part help but it is too strong on my hands. What do you use?

I spilled a bowl of nuts I had put on top of the fridge while I was baking, now I don't know how to get them up. I don't have a wand type vacumn cleaner. It's tight back there and I don't have wheels on my fridge either.

I have a wooden comb, and recently some black spots have grown on the end of the handle. I'm assuming it's fungus. But I really like the comb and I know breathing in the spots is unhealthy. How can I get rid of the spots?

Like when we stick something, we need to apply slight pressure. BUt how do i apply pressure while sticking beads on a dress because whatever is underneath will also absorb the glue through the fabric and stick to it!

Last time i kept a plastic sheet and it stuck to the fabric!

I had never heard of such a thing but apparently they are common in the commercial cleaning industry. From what I understand it is basically a canister style machine, that straps on your back, then you just have to keep up with the cord and the hose....it's like carrying a canister with you. GENIUS! The only thing I don't like about canister vacs is that you drag them behind you. Imagine it off the floor!

I wonder if there is one specially designed for home use, at a more friendly price?

Users, what are your thoughts?

Are the bags easily available and reasonably priced?

I need the best way to clean the Adidas Men's 1 DLX Runner Shoe. They are white annd gold.
They have the micro chip in the shoe to make the shoes change on what surface I am running on.
I usually throw my running shoes in the washing machine if they really need it. Can the same be done with these shoes or will they be ruined? I have run in the rain and nothing happened to the micro chip in the shoe.

I cannot get my ceramic hob clean. I have tried all the cleaners under the sun, for use on ceramic hobs, but still end up with rings where the pans have been. Any old wives tales out there for an environmentaly friendly cleaner

Sounds gross, I know. I looked inside my toilet tank and the inside walls are 100% coated with a black slimy film. I took a piece of paper towl and smeared some of it, and it looks like mold or mildew. Its soft, and can be dislodged. So I took a toilet brush and scrubbed the sides and bottom of the tank and flushed it several times to flush it out. But, it looks like the mold is really set into the pourous surface of the porcelain. I know a wet dark spot is a perfect breading ground for mold and mildew. But can something kill it? How about pouring bleach directly into the tank? Is it a normal thing to have, especially with an old toilet?

I'm running the DW and noticed some suds coming out of it. And I came to realize that I'm a moron!!! I completely filled the rinse aid compartment with Dawn dishsoap. I thought it was the rinse aid! Crap! How am I gonna get all of it removed from that compartment, and how am I gonna get all those suds out of the DW? Have I ruined the DW?? (I've been secretly wanting a new one anyway...lol)! Thanks for your advise.

Ok my mom and stepdad use bleach to wash the dishes. I just got a glass of water and drank some and almost puked because the cup smelled like bleach. I did get a laugh though because my brother heard me say "I smelled the cup and almost puked." and then my brother said "If I smelled your breathe too, I would puke." He misunderstood me but it was funny. Ok my question is, what can I do about the smell in the cup?

I have a warm mist humidifier thats been sitting in my basement for a few years. I would like to use it but i'm afraid even if I clean it w/bleach my family will be breathing in unhealthy bacteria. How can I clean it good inside the housing?

For some reason I noticed a yellow discolorization on my kitchen countertop in my apartment. I am not sure what it is from exactly but I tried getting it out with Fantastik but it didn't work. Would bleach work to get it out since the countertops are white or is there something else that will work?
