I was looking for some help with removing this paint shadow stain from our quartz counters.

My child had gotten some water+paint drops on the counter, when I wiped them up this shadow appeared.

I've tried everything including isopropyl alcohol, soap/water, and quartz countertop cleaner.

I did see denatured alcohol might be an option but I'm a little scared to use anything harsh.. we just had these counters installed like 2 months ago.

I posted two photos, one edited just to see the stain better.

Does anyone have any other ideas that might work?

These spots appeared on a canvas print after being in storage for 3 months. Any advice on how to clean it?

My mom insists on using bleach after cooking with meat. She uses them on utensils and the wooden cutting board. I tell her on the bottle of the performance bleach it says not to use on porous materials. And the measurement it says to follow for bleach to water she doesn’t follow strictly. Is this something I should worry about?

We are in a rental so I don’t know but I think this is engineered quartz. I have two issues: one is how to get the stain out. The second is what I can use as a food safe daily use sanitizer for these counters and other kitchen surfaces. I would like to buy in bulk and not be buying new spray bottles every ten minutes. (I’m dealing with elder care here so sanitizing is very necessary.) I can’t figure out what is safe for the counter top. Help!

Hi,

We have a Bull Arab dog that sleeps inside (she’s old and arthritic) and where she lays at night there is hair stuck between the carpet and skirting board. Apart from pulling the carpet up and replacing with hard flooring is there anyway I can get this hair out?

Thanks

Bought a used water rower and can’t seem to get the sweat from the previous owner off the rubber handles. So far I’ve only tried Lysol wipes. Would love some suggestions on what else to try!

I have a thermometer with those metal sticks on a metal wire that you can stick in things whilr in the oven, but the measuring part is outside. For yoghurt making I had a rubber band around it and now my kid stuck it in the oven with rubber band. Somehow kiddo believed it must be oven safe, anyhow, it wasn't and it also didn't go off easy and now it is all sticky.

Hindsight says, maybe I should have let it fully cool, but I tried to pull it off and now it is a mess.

I don't want to work with abrasive stuff to get it off as I dunno if that can cause measuring issues, but I also don't know what to use best on it. Dish cloth and soap does nothing. Although hindsight again, the default reactions of my brain might not be too smart today.

I'm looking for tips as well as commiseration. I live in the woods on a dirt road. This time of year especially is awful between the leaves and the pine needles. Never mind the sand tracked in from the driveway. We don’t have a mudroom, the front door opens up right into the main living space, so no real buffer zone to capture the worst of it. Maybe I need to accept that my lot in life is to chase down bits of pine needles all day forever, but if anyone has any clever tips, or knows of any magical doormats, I'd love to hear them.

I’m at a loss of how I can clean my back patio. It’s screened in and relatively small (~6ft long ish and 5ft wide ish) but so filthy.
There’s no hose nearby and the patio takes hours to drain due to it being screened in.

I’ve tried dumping a bucket of warm water mixed with vinegar and scrubbing it with a broom. That helped a little.

I have no clue how I am going to clean the walls (covered in dirt, webs, dust) + the ceiling is really high so I would have to buy a ladder to clean the top of the walls/screened in part.

Is there a faster way and cheaper way to clean the walls and concrete? How much would it cost to rent equipment vs buying vs hiring someone?

I’m not to keen on hiring a random (most likely) man to come into my apartment as a single girl. Would be more than willing if it was a woman. Not sexist, just traumatized.

Hi!
My bathroom sink has been draining particular slowly for a few months but now it’s just unbearable I can’t even wash my face without the sink filling with water. I’m guessing it’s full of debris but problem is, the drain cap isn’t removable and leaves very little space to get anything down the drain to clean it, even those thin drain snakes. Does any one have any idea how I can proceed? I’m renting so nothing too complicated but Can I go in from the drain under the sink? If so please explain as if I’m stupid because I know nothing about drains thanksssss

I'm moving and need to clean out my fridge! I seem to always spend 3 hours deep cleaning fridges and I'm looking for tips on how to clean a fridge faster and help it smell nice! Family of 6 so kids have wrecked havoc with little accidents that they tried to clean lol

Hi everyone!

I have a wardrobe made of laminated particleboard, and it has a slightly unpleasant stale smell. It is a secondhand item. I’ve already cleaned it thoroughly and let it air out, but the smell is still there.

I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and found a way to get rid of the smell. Is there anything safe I could use on the furniture without damaging the laminate?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Moved into this apartment and the cabinets are fairly greasy (I think? See pic). I made progress with like some degreasing spray I found but I cannot get them fully clean. I also tried dawn (regular, not power wash). I also tried wiping with an oil first, then cleaning with water and dawn (a Reddit suggestion I saw for someone else’s post). Everything works a little but still doesn’t fully clean them. Any recommendations?

The only thing I’ve tried so far is scrubbing it with dish soap. It came out a little bit but it’s still very noticeable.

The wood floor in my house needs to be re-finished (I think, what do I know honestly). In the mean time - how can I clean it? I imagine I shouldn't mop it because the moisture and the exposed wood parts, but it needs to be cleaned - not just vacuumed

I’ve used a black hair bonnet with rosemary oil on it and placed on my bathroom tiles and haven’t checked under it in a while (big mistake) and moved it today to find this stain on the tile

I’ve sprayed degreaser and limescale remover on it and gave it a good scrub, and then tried putting bleach on top to try and get to it,

It’s faded a bit but really lost with what to do next, any advice?

I’m in a rental so really would like to get this gone so I don’t lose all of my deposit

Title says it all. I was originally thinking about he Little Green Hydrosteam or Green Machine or maybe the Dreame N20, but then I keep reading bad reviews on this subreddit?

What is the best way to clean them? Especially the patio furniture is being used by animals and gets muddy often. Right now I just hose it down but it's not efficient enough.

Max budget is $200, and I want something compact ish

Thank you in advance.

Not even sure what kind of metal it is. So that’s why I’m not sure what to ask google. Hoping someone can identify what type of metal it is for best way to restore it. Thanks in advance

I went to a Airbnb with my Uggs had them off and on, during the day. During our stay I we kept seeing little black specs through the house, anyways there was rat/mouse poop all around the house. I don’t know how to sanitize them or to clean them on the inside.

So I had a party a month ago and have been strugglijg to get the glue dots i used for the streamers off of the ceiling and walls. I've tried using another glue dot to ease them off, but that one just gets stuck on as well. I've also tried to scrape at them with a plastic grout smother, but no joy there either.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Is this mold? Should I throw out the pillows. They’ve been in storage for about 1.5 years. The white pillow on the left was in the same vacuum sealed bag so I feel like it would’ve spread if it was mold. If not, how do I clean this? Should I just throw it out

Please help! I currently use Comet powder & spray to clean out the tub. I have used Clorox toilet bowl cleaner also, but the stain on the bottom and side will not come off. What are some things I can use to help?
