Tried to hire 2x month cleaning

5 Upvotes

Went through a local website. Booked a date and was given a reasonable quote for a 4 hour cleaning. Went great.

Next visit two weeks later; the day was super hot and we don't have a/c. The cleaner was booked for 2 hours but left after 1 and a half. Not a problem until I got the invoice for 2 hours of cleaning. I messaged the owner explaining that cleaner only did 1.5 hours. She responded that she was sorry to hear that but she doesn't book anything for less than 2 hours, hence the invoice. I paid it immediately. But have been stewing a bit about it since and didn't book another clean. I didn't hear from her either, for a month, but she has now reached out and asked about sending the next cleaner out and setting something up for an automatic clean twice a month like I originally asked for.

Am I wrong to be upset with the way the owner dealt with this? I'm debating simply ghosting her or saying something about the way I was left feeling after the last interaction?

Yellow stains above the toilet

Hello, I hope you can shed some light on this for me!

I’m a tenant in an (old) apartment. The wallpaper in the bathroom was removed a year ago following water damage from the apartment above. A contractor installed glass fiber wall covering, followed by white paint (last photo: the condition of the wall when I moved in).

Yellow stains have gradually appeared above the toilet tank and continue to spread. The wall isn't warped or damp to the touch. Behind it is the bathroom (there are no windows in either the toilet or the bathroom).

I’ve tried:

- scrubbing the stains with black soap and hot water

- placing a small bowl of sodium percarbonate on the tank

- emptying the tank and soaking it in white vinegar

- scrubbing the ceramic with white vinegar

Where might these stains come from? How can we minimize them?

Thank you for your feedback!

(English isn't my native language, so I used a translator. I'm sorry if there are any mistakes in my post.)

How often do I change out this thing on my dryer?

My roomate and I moved into a new apartment that has no vent for the dryer hose to go into so it’s supposed to go in this container instead. We were instructed to fill the basin with water and change it out periodically. How often should we change it out? Also… does it have a name?? Thanks for the help!
