Wee smell in clothes
I need to get the smell of wee out of some clothes. I washed and tumbled dry and them and I am sure they still smell of wee. Mind you could be that horrible smell that you seem to get from hospitals. I washed the items at 40 degrees on a fast wash. Any ideas of what to soak/wash them in to get rid of. Thanks Yours Calley

Bread Making.
Surely getting a BM and making your own bread is more expensive than buying a loaf when you need one? Don't get me wrong, I love the sound of making your own bread. Nothing beats the feel and smell of fresh bread, but it must be expensive and time consuming to do.
