Cloudy White Spots on Laminate Countertop?
Just a thought, maybe it is teeth whitening toothpaste stains. People who use this and wipe their mouth with their handtowels end up with bleach marks on their hand towels.

Removing Stains from a Microsuede Sofa?
Milk spoils and smells so you would want to wash the slipcovers. Cold water in the sink I would guess but there is no guarantee they wont shrink. While drying you can continue to stretch them into their natural shape. Most stains come off with windex. Maybe...

Shopping for Lime Away Toilet Cleaner?
We have it at our local H.E.B. grocery store. Our Walmart does not carry it. If the grocer will not sell it to you, email me and I am sure we can work something out. I clean houses in central TX and this is the greatest product ever for hard water stains! amandac_1967...

Ideas for Getting Heavy Grocery Items into the House?
