How to remove mildew odor from a washer?
Run the washer through a wash cycle (no laundry, though) with very hot water and a cup of bleach. This should remove the mildew and odors from the washer. Just be sure to let it go through the entire wash and rinse cycle. Then leave the lid to the washer open to let it air dry.
Can clothes that have been yellowed by too much bleach be made white again?
Try washing them in hot water (depending on the type of fabric) with an oxygen-based bleach, such as Biz or Clorox 2, or even Borax. Let them soak for an hour or two, then finish the wash cycle as usual.If you have hard water, you should never use clorine bleach, since it will cause clothes to yellow much worse than just hard water alone. Adding a cup of baking soda to the wash water along with your regular laundry detergent will help prevent this. Also, never use hot water for laundry if you have hard water since this causes yellowing, too.If the clothes are (were) white, you can wash them with a rust remover, but they have to be white clothes, otherwise it will remove the color from the clothing and ruin them. Follow the instructions on the container for laundry, then run them through at least two rinse cycles.

How can I clean my table cloths?
Before you wash your tablecloth make sure you read the washing instructions. If the instructions allow, it is best to wash your white tablecloth on its own in the washing machine on "Hot" cycle. Adding a small amount of bleach will also help. You should pre-treat the stain first with a good quality stain remover such as Shout.
What do I do when I use too much laundry soap?
If the soap is spilling out of the washer, then stop the wash cycle, set it to spin, and let it spin the soapy water out. Then reset the washer for a full wash and rinse cycle to get out all of the soap. If you set it for a rinse cycle only, it won't remove all of the suds, resulting in dingy laundry.
