What causes so much dust in a house if you dust all of the furniture and two days later it looks like it has been weeks since it was done?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dust in a house is mainly composed of skin cells, fibers from fabrics, and outdoor particles that get tracked inside. Even with regular dusting, these sources continuously replenish the dust in your home. Factors like open windows, pets, and lack of air filtration can also contribute to the quick accumulation of dust.

Is using rainwater to wash clothes hygienic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Isn't it obvious? Contemplate the water cycle. There is a river. An animal poos in the river. The poo water evaporates into the air forming a cloud. The poo then rains on you so you can wash your clothes with it. So, do you think that it is hygienic to wash your clothes with poo?

How do you get the sour smell from washed clothes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Before primary washing in regular washing powder/soap.

Soke the clothes in a solution of baking soda(Sodium bi-carbonate/sodium hydrogen carbonate) or Soda crystals(Washing soda/ sodium carbonate).

Rinse

Then wash in the normal detergent.

If cotton or linen clothes, whilst wet/damp put them into laundry starch solution, hand squeeze dry, and allow to dry in the air.

When dry , then iron/callender. (They'll be 'stiff as a board'. )

NB Sodium bi-carbonate or sodium carbonate, is a soluble salt, that will remove smells from many things, clothes, floors, drains, working surfaces.

It is harmless to human skin, but wear kitchen gloves if needed, although it might make the skin a bit dry.

Of itself it is odourless, white crystals.

NB DO NOT use Bleech.

How do you wash off sperm off clothes will it wash off?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Follow the care label instructions. Just wash it as normal.

By funking it up with special cleaners, that will only make it worse. Just toss it in the washer, warm, or even cold wash. HOT will "set" the stain in.

I would suggest pre-rinsing it first in a sink/basin... just put whatever it is on in the washer, wash it then put it in the dryer.

if you think it's that gross, then repeat a wash cycle BEFORE you dry it. Easy.

How do you clean pee from leather?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is a tough one. You can get the urine out of the cloth, but usually it seeps down inside the batting and foam. The best thing to do is get a carpet cleaner to come in and have them do some deep cleaning on your furniture. After it's dry use "Febreeze" spray to get any odors out. I own pets and even though my dogs and cat are very clean, I put blankets on my furniture and take them off when company comes. This also is a good preventative measure if one of friends is coming over with her kids and they have their shoes on or have an accident. It's easier to wash the blankets and cheaper!

Can you put feather duvets in the dryer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. Warm water. Dry until COMPLETELY dry. If really large, use the front loaders at the laundromat. Put a couple of tennis balls or clean sneakers in the dryer to break up the clumps.

*Some* dry cleaners will take feather-filled bedding *if* it is completely enclosed in a case (many feather ticks come with a large zipper covering that can be removed).

How do you wash a microfiber tablecloth?

Asked by Wiki User

Follow the care label. If there is no care label dry cleaning is the safest way to clean it. If you don't want to take it to dry cleaners then wash in cold water and hang to dry then iron on LOWEST setting. If lowest setting is still hot then iron it with a cloth between the iron and table cloth.

Asked by Wiki User

I don't wash my douvet. I put it in the dryer in a Dryel bag and clean it that way. Mine is Down. With Down Alternative, you should be able to wash it in cold water in your washer. Then partially dry it on "air", then hang it to dry the rest of the way. Do not do this with Feather comforters.
