Doesn't that still impact her credit rating? This doesn't seem wise to me. -- Diana, Ohio Dear Diana: You're right. When she accepts the store's offer of a discount on her entire first pur- chase in exchange for just complet- ing an on-the-spot application, that new credit account is alive and very active. It may take weeks to get the store's credit card in the mail. And it may come with instructions to call a number from her home phone to "activate" the card, but that has nothing to do with the account being active on her credit report. Those are simply security measures to make sure the card was not stolen en route. Trust me, all of her new accounts are very much alive and "active." She's going to have a rude awakening if and when she checks her credit score or applies for a loan in the future. Closing them, as difficult as that will be, is not a good solution, either. Just like opening new accounts, closing old ones will deal yet another blow to her credit score because closing accounts is as deadly as opening new ones (if you're a member of www.Debt- ProofLiving.com, read "Break- ing Up Is Hard to Do" in the online archives). Dear Mary: How can I fresher, have cleaner-smelling towels? What am I doing wrong? Is there something like Nok-Out or a home remedy that I can try? I tried soaking them in vinegar, but that did not help much. -- Darlene, New York Dear Darlene: That smell may be the telltale sign of mold and mildew that has built up in your washer. Front-loading machines are far more prone to this problem because the door is made to fit very tightly. Over time, dirt, grease and grime from clothes can build up on the inside. Detergent and fabric softener residue also accumulates, as does lint and organic matter. The combination leads to funky odors and often even mildew. The solu- tion is surprisingly simple: You need to clean your washing machine. Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate would use to do that. It's very effective, and I keep it on hand for all of life's smelly problems. Fill the machine with hot water (no clothes) and 8 ounces of Nok-Out. As for the towels, Lou Osburn at Nok-Out warns that the residual vinegar in the towels cannot be used with Nok-Out as it is a very alkaline product. She suggests you do this: Mix 2 tablespoons 20 Mule Team Borax and 2 table- spoons of baking soda with a quart of water. Soak the towels in this mixture for 30 minutes. Then run them through the spin cycle. Now wash the tow- els with no detergent, but with 8 ounces of Nok-Out in a regular short cycle. Dry as usual. If you have a front loading machine, always leave the door ajar between uses. Do you have a question for Nok-Out, which you mention (www.NokOut.com), is what I Mary?

Vandalism • A woman reported Tuesday that someone had shot a hole and shat- tered one pane of a sliding glass door at the back of her residence in the 1900 block of Birdsong Avenue.

White van • Two juvenile girls ran home from Washington to Cedar streets on Critten- den Street Tuesday after seeing a white van pull up and park behind them. They assumed it was the white van reportedly seen with a man watching chil- dren at area schools. The man driving the van never spoke to the girls nor tried to gesture to them.
