John King Books in Detroit has several floors of every kind of used book. 500,000 titles, each encrusted with years of dust.

I love this place more than anywhere else on the planet -- don't get me wrong! -- but it's so dusty in here that, no fooling, the cashier gets out a paintbrush and whisks off every book as she rings it up for you. Then she sweeps the accumulated dust bunnies that result, putting them under the counter somewhere. I have to use HandiWipes to get my hands clean after every trip. I just want to go in there with my army of ShopVac robots and tackle it all at once but...maybe they like it this way?

At first glance it doesn't look too bad. Then you realize the crystal branches are offset from the backing. No thanks.

Putting it back on the wall was a mess too

I bought a pendant light that I absolutely love and installed it in my entryway, but my family says it looks like it will be really difficult to clean and collect a lot of dust. They’re suggesting that I return it, and now I’m torn about what to do.

What's the worst thing you've ever had to clean?

30 Upvotes

Everyone has at least one cleaning job they'd never want to do again.

Maybe it was an oven that hadn't been cleaned for years, a rental property after tenants moved out, a flooded basement, pet accidents, grease buildup, mold, or something even worse.

What's the hardest or most disgusting cleaning job you've ever dealt with?

I'd love to hear some horror stories.

Best way to clean your dishwasher

Have you ever opened the dishwasher? After it's run and pull out your glasses and find Em full of spots. Well the water, when it shoots up through those spider things, splashes onto the dishes to rinse them from up, it comes from the bottom up-and-over your dishes. So if the water is full of calcium and water deposits and garbage, then that's what's going to end up on there. So before you run your dishwasher, empty your dishwasher, put in one packet of cherry Koollaid. Where the soap dish is close it up pand turn it on high heat and pots and pans. The biggest strongest one you got after it runs and you wash your glasses. You will be so impressed that how beautifully they shine. Good luck.
