the knives dry the same way

as the title says, everytime i take a hot shower thats longer than like 15 minutes this appears all over my walls and is so difficult to get off. i’ve cleaned my walls like 5 times. its not fully dry either, its got like a waxy consistency? it starts at the ceiling and just drips down. i run my fan and if its a quick shower it doesn’t happen, just longer ones. any clue what it is and how to make it stop?? an everything shower is already exhausting i dont wanna scrub my bathroom walls after 🫪

I’ve heard this method daily shower spray is good for keeping up with your shower in between cleans. Is this true? If you’ve used it, do you find it worth it?

I’ve heard you don’t have to wipe, just spray. Pretty cool.

What laundry soap/process do you use? Do you use lotion or perfume or cologne? How do you smell like body wash all day?
Some people I’ve come across smell soooo damn good! I want people to say that about me! (Not that I stink I just want to noticeably smell good at all times)

We recently purchased a home where one of the bedrooms was occupied by a boy who masked the room in axe body spray and sweat. We didn’t think much of it at the time since we had the house deep cleaned, put in new carpeting in the bedroom (on top of hardwood) and painted the whole interior…well now I’m realizing the smell lingers. Every time I step into that room, it smells like a smelly oily scalp. At this point how can I get the smell out of this room without tearing up the floors or walls? Would an air purifier help? Can I wash painted walls without ruining them? Help please!

Hi there, currently I’m using a really old Samsung cordless vacuum. It has lost a lot of its power (can’t even vacuum spilled rice) and therefore I have to sweep a lot. I like a clean home, and I want to invest in a good vacuum cleaner. I’m looking for;

-preferably a cordless one, I have adhd and háte dealing with a cord.
-it has to be able to vacuum cat kibble and stuff.
-I have one cat and two small kids, so it has to be suitable for that household.
-I don’t have any carpet, might get a rug again when the kids are a little older.
-easy use for the ground floor. Upstairs I have a simple one that’s good enough for that space since there’s no eating/cat there. The ground floor = toilet, kitchen, hallway and living room.

Do you guys have any suggestions? I would prefer to not spend tóo much on one, however if there’s one that’s simply inferior to the other vacuums I’d think it would be a good investment bc of daily use.

Thank you!

Hello! I have this single roll of paper towels a stranger gave me when I was camping months ago. Ive been holding onto it because its the BEST paper towels I've ever used in my life and I need help identifying it. They're way better then bounty which is what im used to buying. Theres no identifying features or name on it but its super thick and soft, very absorbent with a wave like pattern with dots. Its basically like a paper blanket plz I need to make sure I can buy more of these and never go back to bounty again helpppp

I wasn't able to update my original post with a photo of the kitchen faucet post-cleaning, so here's an new post. I soaked the faucet in a citric acid+water solution (2 tbsp citric acid and 2 cups water) for about 2.5 hours and then scrubbed it with a toothbrush. Major success! Thank you to everyone who provided helpful and relevant suggestions, I really appreciate your feedback.

To everyone who told me to throw it away and buy a new one - THIS is why it's wasteful to do that. Many things *can and should* be cleaned. If that is not successful then of course, replace it. But you should at least try to clean it first.

And to those who chose to insult me personally in a subreddit for cleaning tips - please get some help.

i cant seem to fully clean my room without getting stuck on sorting small things so it's kinda just in a constant state of messiness it sucks edit: i also have hording tendencies and low energy all the time small update

Was cleaning my kitchen floor with a Swiffer like always and this stuff started peeling off the floor. It's sticky and looks like half the floor has it

I had the absolute best time at my wedding. Unfortunately that came at a price. I love my shoes and would hope to be able to clean them up to wear again in the future.

They are silk and leather.
So far I have tried simple baby wipes but I don’t want to try anything further without some advice.

TIA

i need help getting this desitin out of our brand new couch. MIL cleaned some of it out (that’s baking soda on far right side), but the connecting cushion on the couch is covered in desitin and the rest of the couch still has a white cast and a thick greasy feel left behind. we have used baking soda, dawn in hot water, detergent in hot water, and the little green machine and still not much luck. we also dont know exactly how long it sat on our couch before we got home, but it’s been there at least 2 days so i assume it will be harder to get out the longer it has sat there. TIA.

I started with a heavy duty degreaser and a scraper but there's got to be an easier way especially considering I'm on a ladder. It's like a fine layer of PL premium mixed with cobwebs. Any help is appreciated!

this hot pink post it was left on my dresser for a few weeks and somehow the color transferred onto my solid wood dresser 😭 PLEASE HELPPP am i cooked?? can i get it out?? im terrified to touch it i ran straight here lol

It’s been months and I’ve been using the pheromone traps and the sticky blue light plug ins.

I do not have birds or bird seed. We have no rice or pasta or flour in the house. Dog food is in a plastic container, treats are in a glass container. My pantry mostly is cans. I threw out my houseplants. I threw out all my mason jars of beans and whatever else. I’ve wiped inside my cabinets with bleach. I’ve sprayed inside the drain. I’ve vacuumed and wiped.

They’re in the kitchen and office and bedrooms and bathroom. I can’t find a source. They’re everywhere and I can’t burn my house down and it’s driving me insane

I feel so ashamed that we are living this way

I can only guess this was bleach, my house cleaners did this. They came back for another scheduled cleaning and it did not get any better.
I tried myself as my husband got me pads to use for his drill. I applied soft scrub in sections, let it pretreat under three minutes and used hot water to scrub. One section might mildly look better but overall that did nothing. I sprayed Clorox on my side of the shower and left it overnight and that did not help either.
Any ideas?

My kid recently got a giant banana squishy toy. It ruptured and is a horrible mess. The top layer of the foam will dry and still be a paste underneath. If gets into cloths only rubbing alcohol will work. Do not let it get in your cloths, carpet or cleaning machines ( washing machines, carpet cleaners and dishwasher. )This shouldn’t be a kids toy. Watch out for the squishy toys that have a plug or a little cap it’s some type of vinyl polymer foam .

It has been taken to a dry cleaners but the spots are still there. Is there anything else I can try to get the stains out? I don't know what the stains are, it's an item I've inherited.

I bought this dress from depop, I really like it and after some alterations it will be perfect, but in the meantime how can I remove these stains? There seem to be these dark grey spots/flecks all over the dress. Tag says no dry cleaning, immerse but don’t soak (?), so looking for some guidance.

TIA!

These black stains started appearing on these cheap plastic shelves on their own. And they have weird blooming patterns. How do I prevent this?

What’s one super simple cleaning habit or trick that feels almost too easy, but makes a huge difference - especially when you live with people who constantly make a mess? 😭

I’m looking for those little “why did nobody tell me this?” tips that actually make keeping the house clean easier.
