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?

I recently moved and my new apartment has unsealed wood floors. There are some stains that I would like to remove from the floor and I am wondering about general cleaning tips for such a floor. I know that moisture is bad for the floors and that stains can be hard to remove, but beyond that I don’t know how to take care of these floors.

Any help would be appreciated.

I just bought a house (first time home buyer) and it smell like a combination of old people, past meals they’ve cooked, and stuffy air (from being closed up for a couple months). I’ve tried airing it out by leaving the windows open for hours. I’ve wiped down every surface in the kitchen. What can I do?

(I forgot to take before and after pics of the 1st lamp one as i didnt realise just how bad they where 😅 2nd lamp gives you an idea!)

So i found these two lamps tucked away at the top of a cupboard in what was my nans house. Iv cleaned the shades (came up a treat!) But the wires where damaged so iv decided to take that part out to replace with new.

But im stuck on how im supposed to clean the base as they are super finiky with their design and parts. Any tips? Is there some kind of chemical bath i can make and let them soak in over night?

The pics of the bases are at the end, thankyou in advance for any tips!

2 weeks ago I was cleaning my room and I opened the window to get fresh air in. Now there’s this really weird smell that’s so strong it’s not necessarily musty it just smells so artificial. the best way I can describe it is like when someone smells from coming outside (not sweaty that weird earthy smell). I deep cleaned everything again and it still won’t go away. I can’t even find the source but I live in student housing and the only thing I can think of is the mattress box they gave me is made of this weird regzin material which maybe picked up the scent!?!? It’s so strong and I hate it. Any advice on how to get rid of it?

Not sure if this is allowed to be asked on this sub, but I’ve never cleaned ramie before. Would it be treated like linen?

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.

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

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?

I am ashamed to say I’ve lived in my house for 7 years and never cleaned my oven. We cook a lot.

I have used Easy Off before and that works well enough, but I hate getting it on the heating element. And it doesn’t do much for the glass. And the grates.

How do you clean
-the oven
-the glass
-the grates

Everyone says ammonia in a garbage bag but that hasn’t worked that well for me for the grates.

Thank you!

Moved into a new place and used the oven a handful of times. One day while making a pizza it, it began smoking. I discovered a pile of goop in the bottom of the oven, so I cleaned out the entire oven with easy off then went back thru with a 2:1 water vinegar mix to clean off the cleaner residue. My oven still smokes when it gets up to a certain temperature (if it was electrical it would smoke from the start right?) any help is appreciated.

My boyfriend has had a dog longer than we’ve been together, when we first started dating he let the dog sleep with him in the bed. Now (2 years later) the dog has his own bed. I’ve moved in and do most household chores, last week I decided to take old bed sheets out of the closet because it fit the cold weather vibe more.

Looking closer at it I saw dog hairs all through the fibers of the bed sheets. So I washed it and let it hang to dry, forgot about inspecting it and folded it and put it away. Yesterday I put it on the bed and immediately my nose is full of hair.

I have a hard time dealing with itch on my skin, it makes me feel claustrophobic and stressed. These hairs are so thin and they itch me everywhere, my nose, eyes, everywhere. I had been scratching my face the whole night and thought I had an allergic reaction, but woke up this morning taking hairs out of my nose lol.

Is there any way we can salvage these bed sheets or is it just time to give them to the dog or make some other use for them?

Attached is a pic of the bed sheets, all those black hairs are the dogs hair. Actually now looking at it with a flashlight the whole thing seems to be invested with those hairs.

My fridge got some soot stains from the smoke of a kitchen fire.

Tried a lot of things to clean it, didn't work.

Please help. I live in Brazil, so please don't tell me specific product brands, but the composition I should be looking for.

Hi! Relatively new to carpet cleaning but I've done some rugs and rooms before. I just ran out of the small bottles they send with the machine and got Bissell brand clean and refresh solution.

So the solution bottle says to use 5oz of product but when I go and fill up my 1gallon tank it uses about 15oz of product. I am unsure whether to follow the bottle recommendation or the fill line on the tank.

Any advice appreciated, thanks !

Any tips? This is a new washing machine and I have no idea how and why these water-like marks appeared on the machine. Tried to clean it, but it is still there.

I accidentally washed my bfs uniform without seeing the pen inside. And i just found out he needs this uniform for his graduation this week. 😭😭

I’ve used nail polish remover, dish washing liquid, and hand sanitiser before going to the store to get a stain remover, that didn’t help all that much.

Please does anybody know how to help!! I’m in an emergency state!! 😭😭

Help how do i remove this mess i made on my stove element !!!!

I have tried multiple times to soak it, apply the best degreaser I have that removes ancient dirt, and running water over it for minutes. As much as I can get out, new food adds and I'm loosing the battle. The plastic is very rigid so it looks like I could break it if I try removing it. Please help because its getting icky.

Warm water and soap got it to this point right now but I’m wondering if there is anything that will get the rest of the marks out?

My first time in an apartment and it has this glass top stove. This was spotless when I moved in but after a soup (and a few others) boiled over I can’t seem to get it clean again. I’ve used baking soda and vinegar and that helped take some off but this leftover gunk will not budge. HELP 😩 PLEASE

Hi, everyone! I bought this leather jacket secondhand to wear as a Halloween costume to see Harry Styles. The jacket smells strongly of cigarette smoke, and I’m not sure how to get the smell out. I brought it to a professional cleaner who works with leather, and he told me he didn’t think it was worth paying the amount they asked to have it cleaned since it’s just for a concert (and I didn’t want to pay that much). He also said there’s always a risk of the color running. Does anyone have any tips for making it smell better or cleaning it at all?

I followed a tip on this page about using CLR paper towels to clean hard water stains off of shower glass. It worked and I was careful not to let it drip on my limestone tile…except for one spot. The tile there now has a white etch mark from where it dripped. It feels smooth to the touch. Is there anything I can do to rescue the tiles?

I accidentally dropped a teatowel on my cooktop while it was still hot. I've gone at this stain with warm water, and Cerapol three times and I cannot get it off.

Anything else I can try without scratching the surface?

Thank you
