how would you sterilize a fabric? would you boil it or do something to get rid of any existing bacteria? its for a test experiment. thanks. thanks guys! that was really helpful,. i'll try one of those methods.. ... (Asked by helpme!?!)

You'll never really get it "sterile"; as soon as it comes in contact with air, airborne bacteria will settle on it. However, you can try boiling it, either in plain water or water with lemon juice or vinegar in it (something acid). You can soak it in a chlorine bleach solution (not pure bleach!). You can microwave it (get it wet first) for ten minutes (don't do this with synthetics!!). Any of these methods will destroy pretty much all of the bacteria, but the only way to keep it sterile is to vacuum-pack it in a sterile environment....(Answered by welmoed)

How can I sterilize a porch swing mattress without damaging it? A feral cat had kittens on it. Help!? This is a 5" thick mattress that has a green and yellow print fabric that I'm afraid of ruining. All the germicidal cleaners I saw in the store caution against using them on fabric or upholstery. The mattress is a double size, so I can't put it in the washer. ... (Asked by kacygrl)

hmm there is probably more on the mattress besides what the cat left. I think I would just replace it. However if you are going to throw it out you might try taking it to the car wash and bringing home to hang dry outside. Some of the laundry mats have triple size washers. But I would think washing it would ruin it anyway. Sorry!...(Answered by Gran Gran)

Both work well as a disinfectant and probably neither is better than the other - just different. If you want to get more environmentally friendly, use white vinegar. It is a little known fact that vinegar is a disinfectant and kills bacteria, germs, and mold....(Answered by Imaka)

Placing items in the dryer will not sterilize them. Your dryer does not get hot enough to sterilize. But, it the closest you will come for what you want to do. It will kill and remove any left over fleas. Use high heat....(Answered by k h)

Does boiling water sterilize everything? For example if I poured boiling water in my bathtub, is it then considered sterilized? I am trying to find somthing else to use besides harsh cleaning products. And I have tried many "organic" products, and they just don't work as well. ... (Asked by key m)

If the water is above 170 degrees F and it sits for 30secs yes. The one thing i have a problem with the overuse of the term organic. My experience is 90% of those products should just say environmentally friendly, because if you cant safely ingest it its not truely organic, not that i would ingest them. The problem with just water is it doesn't clean soap scum. I use scrubbing bubbles myself. It doesn't irritate my skin or sinuses and sanitizes my bathroom. I don't use multiple cleaners and you're right many of the so called organic cleaners fall very far ...(Answered by tony)

LG Strom SteamWasher vs. Kenmore Elite HE4t? I'm in the market for a new washing machine and have narrowed it down to two. I'm curious as to your experience with both or either. Home use and the upcoming diaper cleaning/sterilization use. LG SteamWash (WM2688H) - Consumer Reports liked it, said it is pricey (which it is) and has no service record. I've read mixed reviews. It has it's own water heater which is good and bad (good to have, but bad to maintain). Kenmore Elite HE4t - Consumer Reports always loves Kenmore. They have a proven track record. CR hasn't rated ... (Asked by SpikeM_98)

I have the lg steamwasher and dryer with ped. I can safely say there has been no neater appliance in my house! I use it to the max capacity and its been going strong for a year now! YES THEY ARE EXPENSIVE! But hey you can watch your clothes wash at night with the led light!! LOL Just think of it as a kitchen/ laundry room fountain. Then the price seems acceptable. Also it is nice to have the laundry remote if you are upstairs or down....(Answered by Karrien Sim Peters)
