I have been using cold water Tide with amazing results. I put a small amount and rub the insides of the shirts and wash inside out. I also use around the collar area.

| RE: Vinegar As An All Purpose Cleaner |
I use baking soda, sm. amount of dish detergent and some vinegar to make my own soft scrub. I add it to my dish detergent to clean dirty greasy pots. It is great to clean cutting boards after cutting meats.
You can also substitute lemon juice for vinegar in any of the above solutions. more expensive but better smelling in microwave! I buy it 2 gallons at a time at Sam's, very economical. ... View related article. |

| RE: Baby is Not Crawling |
Each child is different. It sounds like you are worried. What does his doctor think?
Most school districts have programs for children and can evaluate your child even a 9 month old! If your child needs help, they can get him started early. Otherwise, I bet they can give you lots of suggestions.
We moms, even experienced ones, can not think of everything. Trust your feelings and good luck! ... View related article. |
