Accidentally dropped this candle off it’s warmer from about 3ft high. It was a Yankee Candle Midnight something scent. How do I get this off my walls and vinyl wood floor.
The wax is pooled up about a 1/4 inch
I need help. I don’t even know where to start. I’ve been in a deep depression for about 9 ish months. My room has become trashed to the point where I found a literal bowl of larvae in the corner. Im so icked out and I don’t even know how it took me that long to make it my final straw. I feel so disgusted with myself and my surroundings. I have trash everywhere along with clothes and trash bags I haven’t been able to throw out. I live with family that don’t come in my room but I’m not able to throw all the trash bags out at once and on top of that, I have more family visiting downstairs currently for the next week. Im so overwhelmed and I can barely see my floor
Saw this in my local subreddit and felt obliged to share it here. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Looks like Irish Spring is another duct tape/wd40 good for everything you never expected type brand.
how do you clean your strainer? I’ve tried brushes and sponges and I feel like it never really gets clean. I don’t have a dishwasher otherwise I would put it in there. what’s your technique??
I was unable to add the final results picture of both door and side to my original post. Here it is. Came out great!
I purchased this pre-loved scarf. I managed to remove the other stains on the scarf, but these two stains still remain. I have no idea what the stains are: they could be of a condiment or the owner decided to use it as fancy toilet paper 😞 (the seller was pretty mean but I got this for a fair deal haha)
Anyhow, is there any home remedies? Or will I have to stop by the dry cleaners? I wanted to do at home remedies before visiting a dry cleaners because I heard they make silk feel very hard afterwards
I have been doing the “responsible adult” thing where I dust shelves, wipe the TV stand, feel proud for 11 minutes, then sneeze like I just opened an ancient tomb. Today I tried switching the order because my allergies have been annoying enough that I was willing to question my entire personality. I did a quick pass with the vacuum first, waited a bit, dusted with a damp microfiber, then vacuumed again near the baseboards. And yeah... the amount of stuff the vacuum picked up the second time was disgusting but also kind of validating?
Now I’m wondering if vacuuming before dusting is only half useful, and maybe the real answer for allergy control is “stop doing one heroic Saturday clean and start doing boring tiny passes.” People always say dust first because gravity, which makes sense, but carpets seem to hold onto everything like they paid rent. Anyone here with allergies have a strict order that actually works, or are we all just moving dust into new neighborhoods?
I love this sub. Yall have so many tricks to make my life easier. As a stay at home mom, helping run a farm, while also being 37 weeks pregnant, im juat going to tell you.
ITS OKAY TO HAVE SURFACE CLEAN!
Floors dont need mopped every week! Run the broom as you can. Push the toys into a corner, throw the blankets on the back of the couch. Run the dishwasher and the laundry washer/dryer twice if you have to. There is NOT ENOUGH hours in the day for that Pinterest level home.
You'll have cobwebs in obscure corners. Your floors are going to be covered in dog hair and dirt. THATS OKAY!
Your house is a HOME! Its not a museum piece, Pinterest level social media influencer home!
So breathe, Run the washer twice, sip that coffee and smile as you trip over more toys. One day you'll miss the clutter and the chaos.
And if your neighbor stops by and sees the mess? Oh well. Sit and talk a bit. Socialize.
I was deep cleaning today and realized there are so many spots I completely forget about until they get really dusty 😅 For me, it’s things like baseboards, above fridge, and behind furniture. Out of sight really becomes out of mind. Curious what everyone else thinks. what’s the most overlooked spot in your house when it comes to cleaning?
I’ve tried many products including CLR, RMR, cleanser, Clorox etc. and nothing worked. I came across this group and saw citric acid as an option. Got it off Amazon with some knock off scrubbers and let me tell you it worked with little elbow grease. Some recommended using paper towels, however I just sprayed heavily, let it run down from top to bottom, scrubbed a little, rinsed and repeated 4/5 times. I used 3 tablespoons per cup of warm water and my glass is like new. Here’s my pictures before and after.
i’m trying to trade in my switch 1 for the switch 2 and my switch is in perfect condition except this one annoying thing. i had dinosaur stickers on the back of my switch for years, just took them off and tried to clean the back but you can still see where the stickers were. is it a lost cause or is there something i can do to get these marks off?
I spilled coca cola in my car! So if I had time I’m sure I could get this cleaned with paper towels while it’s still freshly spilled, however I’m not going to be able to do anything about this until after my shift ends at work, which is in 4 hours. It’s 80 degrees where I am and I expect the sugar to do horrible things while I wait to clean. What should I do??
The couch is under a pergola with a coconut thread cover (last picture).
The rain has caused what I believe is dye from the cover to leak on the pillows. The cover no longer drips, but I just can't get the marks out. I tried rubbing extra hard with water and soap, but it won't disappear.
Any idea?
We’ve owned our 1950’s home for 6 years.
I regularly try to clean our cabinets but they always feel sticky/tacky. I’ve tried both vinegar solutions, pinesol, and diluted detergent solutions. Any tips?
Our old home had tile floors so it was super easy where I could do a quick sweep, mop/bucket and steam mop clean.
Well the house we bought has LVP with these little grooves that I despise because it holds dirt and requires more elbow grease than I’d like. I’m a mom in a no shoes household so I like to keep the floors clean, but also don’t have the time to actually get on my knees to scrub every time. So what’s the best course of action on these? I’m trying desperately not to impulsively grab my steam mop to get this floor clean.
I took my oven hood metal filters out to clean them in the dishwasher — which did a great job! I was surprised that when I took the metal filters out, there was a piece of felt that was between one of the metal filters and the fan. Is the felt piece *supposed* to be there? If so, how should I clean it? It’s not as dirty as the metal filters were, but it’s still dirty.
I recently moved into an apartment that has old vinyl flooring and I cant figure out how to clean it... I've washed the entire floor thoroughly 3 times, yet my feet and socks are still black at the end of the day. If anyone has any idea on how to deep clean these floors without one of those steam mops please lmk!
Hi, I recently purchased some antique furniture, and would like cleaning product suggestions that won’t affect future restoration.
I have currently hidden my mothers pledge because she’s obsessed, and I’m hearing mixed reviews of feed n wax. what is a safe choice?
Hello! My husband spilled hot water down the side of our custom kitchen cabinet and it left a cloudy, white stain. We tried weird solutions we saw on Google like putting mayonnaise on it, rubbing it with a walnut… nothing is working. Any advice or are we just kind doomed to have this stain forever????
