Read Advice from 26 Moms about Question ‘Melted Crayons in Wash!

Okay, I accidently washed a load of laundry and didn't think to look inside my son's bathing suit pocket. Unfortunatley there were blue and green crayons in his pocket and now our family clothes are covered in melted blue and green crayon. Does anyone know the best way to get this out? Also our dryer is now lined with melted blue and green crayon. Fun times.

Read Advice from 45 Moms about Question ‘Help getting that weird smell out of washcloths

Does anyone know what causes and how to remove that weird metallic/mildewy smell that washcloths get after a while? We wash our washcloths often, but after a while they start getting a funky smell. I tried baking soda with the laundry detergent, but that only seemed to help until the next time we used them. I'd rather not throw them out- we haven't had them that long! Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Read Advice from 27 Moms about Question ‘Unexplained stains...help!!

OK ladies, I am finding unnoticed grease stains (I guess that it what it is) on several of my kids dark shirts, of course after they have been dried. Is there anything I can do?? I am having horrible luck with laundry and wonder if it is due to the fact that I am using All free and clear. Does anyone else have this problem? I even spray most stains with in a few hours at least, with Spray and Wash with resolve, and even that is not coming out all of the time. What do I do? I am wanting to try to use more natural products, and am specifically considering Melaluca, but I also need my clothes to come clean. I would love any ideas that you have!! Thanks a bunch
