dish soap, laundry detergent, tub cleaner - brands please
Comments (21)Dish soap - lemon smelling ones are nice, but I don'thave a favorite brand. Arm& Hammer Laundry det. either powder, or if the liquids are on sale, the unscented! (yes!) and/or the one with non-chlorine bleach. Cling wrap - saran if really necessary or go with some other method! Cleaner - Ajax or Comet, or if on delicate surface - the Scrubbin' bubbles stuff. I don't want to use the aerosol can, but the product usually works on scum that other products don't budge. Or, use full strength vinegar. Someone did a study that showed vinegar killed 99% of germs just like a lysol type product. We make pancakes from scratch...also waffles until the darn waffle iron malfunctioned. Anyway! about that maple syrup. I like to trade genuine amber Massachusetts maple syrup for orchids :-) So, next March make me an offer of some fabulous orchid and I'll send you a pint. :-) Substitute maple syrup for molasses in a ginger bread recipe, and you'll have a fabulous treat. Yarn: Lion brand "Homespun" is what I'm using now to make ultr-large scarves. Knits up very soft and fluffy and somewhat springy, so when you wrap one of the scarves around your head twice, it feels good and does not unwrap. (It's wicked cold here already!) Merry merry...

Comments (2)why on earth would you want to "disinfect" your carpets unless you are planning to eat off them? Your machine with its recommend cleaner will do a fine job of getting your carpets clean....See MoreAnyone know about steam/brush carpet cleaners & berber carpet???
Comments (2)The Carpet Rug Institute recommends professional steam cleaning. The pros have the proper equipment that maintains hot enough water temperature to disinfect. The equipment has enough suction to remove excess water that can cause delamination of carpet backing, saturate carpet cushion, and cause mold and mildew problems. They also use cleaning products that do not leave residues to attract soil and rapid resoiling. One of the biggest problems with DIY carpet cleaning is oversaturation of carpet and cushion....See MoreCarpet cleaners ruined my carpet what do I do?
Comments (3)You're probably going to be out of luck on this. Mohawk will say the material was not properly cleaned, thus voiding the warranty. They state all carpets must be professionally cleaned every 18 months (and you need to have receipts showing the work was done by a professional). If the material was damaged because of improper cleaning, I would go after the person who cleaned the carpet. I hope this helps....See MoreJody
