I’ve vacuumed the carpet probably twenty times since I moved in to an apartment two weeks ago. (Also shampooed it three times, once with detergent, once water and vinegar, then just water). After vacuuming the canister is ALWAYS full of this. What is it and what can I do about it?
Title says it all.
Due to life reasons our shower was neglected for months (please don’t judge)
My husband uses my home made soap. While it’s great for cleaning bodies it leaves horrible soap scum.
Here is where I messed up. I couldn’t get the scum to come off. I used vinegar, scrub daddies, and soft scrub. In desperation I went after it with a scouring stick. I got as far as the picture when my husband informed me the shower is fiberglass. Which APPARENTLY isn’t ok to use it on.
Please help. How can I save the shower AND get it clean?
Edit- thank you so much guys! I’ve used a combo of blue dawn, CLR, and scrubbing bubbles with the hottest water I can get.
So far it’s taken off most of the scum but the grey layer is still there. I think it will just take time
For those judging my husband please don’t. He is blind so he wouldn’t have seen how it was.
Edit: body outline crossed my mind too (it looks even more the case in the photo due to shadows). Scent profile is dog pee though, not decay.
Recently bought a furnished home and lifted an area rug near a door to discover this on the engineered hardwood. Definitely dog pee judging by the location and smell. We do not have a dog, so there’s no telling how long it’s been there. In the meantime, I’m planning on using Nature’s Miracle enzyme cleaner to help with smell. Is it even possible to get the stain completely out or do we need to budget for eventual floor replacement?
...you rock!
Stubborn stain on my stove top, I’m guessing oil buildup and something else that spilled and burned on there. I’ve been using this degreaser to no avail. Any suggestions?
I was given Pampered Chef bamboo spoons years ago. I use one spoon more than the others and now it has visible staining. I don't know if this is moldy or just discolored. The discolored area smells just slightly musty/damp, but nothing really bad at all. Can it be fixed? If so, how do I fix it? What's the best way to clean them after use? Thanks!
Really embarrassed to be making this post, but I've been dealing with some depression-y stuff at the moment and left my dishes in the sink too long, and now a few have ended up with a few getting a bit of mould on them.
I've seen online everyone recommend using bleach but I'm in a shoebox apartment for uni and I just don't think it's well ventilated enough for me to do so (at least not while I also have to be living in here). So, is there a next best solution that'll still actually work?
None of the stuff is porous, though there are a few silicone seals around the edge of a few container lids, which maybe is slightly more complicated but they're the non-porous sort, and also not near the mould itself (and I think removeable if you need).
Also, two notes: 1) I do not have a dishwasher, but I can heat/boil water if that's helpful, the plates can handle it, and 2) I've seen people recommend Dawn dish soap a lot (not for disinfecting it seems, just for cleaning) but we don't have that in my country, not in any regular stores anyway.
Edit: Thanks for all the advice. Went with just a lot of soap, scalding hot water, scrubbing and multiple rounds of washing, plus threw a few plastic chopsticks in the rubbish just so I didn't have to fret, although they were probably fine. Anyway, no more advice needed! If what I did was the wrong move and I'm going to die of Every Possible Disease Ever, I shall simply have to accept my fate.
I'm 17 and the family I live with is really dirty and doesn't care. The main problem is we have like 8 cats and there is hair and dust EVERYWHERE. If I leave a drink out anywhere it will get hair in it within 5 minutes guaranteed. No matter how much I clean my family doesn't do much to help and just makes it dirtier and since I don't own the place there's not much I can do about it. Anyone have any tips on how to keep dust out of my food or away from it as much as possible?
I had been putting off replacing the caulk around the kitchen sink. for several months. I’d even resorted to trying to bleach the mold out, and that did absolutely nothing. I bought one of those caulk removal tools with a scraper on one end and had the entire sink recaulked within 30 minutes.
How do I get rid of these yellow marks? I tried with vinegar but it didn’t do much
For the love of god help me I can’t take it and it’s only been 2 days
My son spilled a bottle of it I had for boots and now we have tracked it literally every where and it cured
I mopped but it did NOTHING
i accidentally spilled this ink on my carpet how do i remove it (flash is on in first pic)
This grime has been here since I moved in and I cannot remove it. Any products or methods that can get this off?
Please and thanks in advance.
Hi!
I thrifted these shoes and want to remove the Sharpie tag they were priced.
I went ahead and used a sanitize wipe but that only did so much.
Thanks!
We were recently given a baby car seat as we’re having our first. I washed the insert but it has major discolouration. I’m not sure if it’s fixable?
How can I clean/fix it in time for my baby’s due date?
Thank you!
Update: should mention it is a hand down, not sure how old it is.
Do you? And if not, why?
I can see the advantage, obviously, but I was not raised doing this and almost feel as though this is something that (in my area of the US) has only been noticeable for the past decade or two.
We wipe our feet (shoes) on a mat when we come into the house if it's dry weather, take off the shoes if it's raining or snowing. And we always wipe our dog's paws when he comes in the house from a walk. But nothing more and I really don't see the point of asking guests to take their shoes off when they visit, although some do.
Genuinely curious...
Edit: I live in a suburb, walk the relatively clean sidewalks in our development, am hardly ever in a city where stepping in dog poo or human pee would be an issue. Even the small town hear us is clean, but I do realize that taking off shoes would be necessary in a city environment!
I have severe OCD, so I’m trying to gauge what is “normal.” in other words, please don’t hold back if you go enormous periods without cleaning yours.
For example, if someone said “I’ve never cleaned it,” that would actually help my OCD lol
That said, please be honest!
Thank you 🙏
I no longer need these for my aligners, but are they good for cleaning anything else or should I just toss/rehome them?

Pretty sure they are fruit flies. I've tried the following.
Apple Cider Vinegar traps. I catch a ton.
Cleaning all the drains..bleach, vinegar and baking soda. Boiling water.
Scoured the entire kitchen looking for any possible source..including fridge and stove.
Threw my entire garbage can away.
blue light traps
I am catching a ton.of them but there is always more!
They are in my kitchen around my sink and stove and my master bathroom on the mirror.
Help!
