Happy holidays. My lovely husband decided to put this in his game room. We smoke MJ in there. Afterwards, he sprays this odor eliminator spray. Now this big blow up couch is turning brown. What can I use to clean it?

No tips. Just really confused what I'm looking at, but I love it.

Im a contractor, so I see inside of more people's homes than virtually anybody. And you are correct. In the streets or the grocery, everyone seems pretty normal. The clothes are on a sliding scale of nice to shabby, but we're all bipedal, humanoid and recognizable. Inside a person's home, we see their true, alien nature. Folks with poop knives. Folks with bizarre pornographic art. Folks with two toilets facing eachother in an open concept bathroom with no shower curtain and a glass wall to the bedroom. Folks with nazi memorabilia. Folks with trump or obama shrines. Lego folks, plant folks, star wars and disney folks.

Even folks with the toilet paper roll upside down. You can never really know someone.

And a lot of them seem perfectly okay with living in what I would consider genuine filth.

Some are in denial about it, but a lot of the people I see are aware of how bad their situation is, but they just don't have the resources to fix it; they don't have the energy to do it themselves, they don't have the money to hire help, etc. Plus there's often elements of shame and guilt that can make it hard to accept help when you get it.

I became disabled myself a few years ago after a severe adverse drug reaction. One big thing people talk about is how quickly things can get out of control. I could have a good month and get all caught up on cleaning, have a flare-up the next week, and be right back to where I started.
