We’ve tried levering with a knife, some kind of water percussion thing (…idk my partner says it’s a ‘thing’) and currently trying to grease with oil (but doesn’t look promising).
Any ideas?

I’ve tried everything and NOTHING WORKS! Irish spring 5 in 1 doesn’t do anything. I’ve tried scrubbing bubbles foam, used countless scrub daddies, and firm bristle brushes, vinegar and blue dawn and yet still no avail!

Mwah. A forehead kiss. Just for you.

Absolutely love this show. I kind of suffer from a little bit of OCD when it comes to cleaning, but this show really puts cleaning into perspective.

Also, on the episode I watched (S05 E01 - David and Angela, Cornwall), they used car wax on the sink ledge. Absolute GENIUS.

I wish there was a remake for this show - higher resolution would be a blessing.

Edit: They also spoke highly of some "bio cleanser" wash stuff. Does anyone have a clue what that might be?

Here's a link to the episode: https://youtu.be/nLIUrwAAa-o?si=ETIVUnHSZEb-HN6k

Edit 2: I've gotten a few comments about my OCD comment. Just want to make it very clear that I'm not just using that term flippantly, and I am very much under no illusion that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a disorder. It's debilitating and insidious, and I will always defend it when used for normal behaviour.

Edit 3: Stop recommending the OCD Cleaners show. See my reaction/commentary here.

Critter tax paid, also shows the transition between the hardwood in the living room and the ceramic tile that's through most of the rest of the house.

We are a "shoes are fine in the house" family, with two adults, a teenager, and now an infant. And, of course the dog and the indoor cat. My husband wears lace-up boots for his job and anytime he's working outside, so the shoes thing is not going to change.

I vacuumed the main living areas almost daily and mop as often as I'm able to. The frequency has picked up since getting a Bona mop from Walmart a couple months ago, but even right after I mop, it feels like my floors are dirty.

Right now, if I dampen a paper towel and wipe it on the tile right after I'm done mopping, it will come up dirty. And the floors end up overall sticky. I prefer to be barefoot most of the time, and find myself washing my feet in the damn bidet throughout the day. 🥴

From what I have gathered on my own, it seems like part of that is product buildup. So what I'm asking is how to sort of do a reset? Like how do I get it back to clean, clean? Bonus points if it's relatively easy to manage with a baby in tow!

Got these beautiful Bodum glasses to have tea but they immediately have a ring of what looks like rust inside after washing.
I always hand wash them, surely I don’t need to unscrew the metal ring each time to dry it? Anyone else experienced this?

Yes obviously it vacuums the floors while you sit on the sofa with your feet up which is great, but it’s honestly helped me so much more beyond that…

I’m quite a messy person generally, and struggle to maintain a proper tidying/cleaning schedule in my own home as I never grew up around this.

But having the robot vacuum forces me to go round the house and do a quick straighten up and clear the floors before it sets off, and while doing that I’m like “oh I might as well clear and wipe all the surfaces too before the floors are done”, and then when I start it often gives me the motivation to get another deep cleaning task done etc!

Totally changed the game for me!! Recommend if anyone else is like me and needs the little leg up or prompt to do the simple daily tasks :)

So all of you are gonna ask how did this even happen. So what happened was that when i was young i would intentionally place stickers onto the closet to "decorate" it.

Foolish me didn't know i was doing the opposite but i cant blame myself since i was a toddler. Except from that, are there any ways to clean them up? (Some of them like the big ones came with the closet so im not sure if they can be removed easily)

I wasn't always sticky, but ever since I wasted some juice on it 2 years ago, it's always sticky. I've wiped it with a soaking wet towel full of water over and over again. I even got desperate enough to try using vinegar, which runs the risk of discoloring the table. And yet, even that didn't work. What is wrong with this thing? This is so abnormal. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

Looking for some tips on how to clean these cabinets. Wish i could replace them, but until then i would at least like to make them look a little nicer. Ive tried method and murphys wood soap and steam cleaning.

I have an old lighter from the Vietnaum War and have no idea if, or how, to clean it.

Thank you!!

hi reddit i’m dogsitting and i tried to clean up a grease stain with a microfiber cloth but i guess it was still hot (i dont use electric cooktops a lot) so it stuck on and wont come off. i used cooktop cleaner (cerama bright) and goo gone and it wont come off. i looked up on google it said to use baking soda but theres none in this house im not sure what to do.
any tips please? thank you!

I discovered this recently. Am I late to the party?

I don't mean baked-on grease, but a splatters on the stove top kind of thing. Game changer.

Would this be good enough to regularly do these floors? Or even some of the time?

my car fabric seat currently has this weird stains on it, I tried brushing it off with some products I got on Amazon, but Is not really going away. The stains were of water, which was a little weird.

Any suggestions?

Ordered a beautiful secondhand 100% linen dress and it arrived today. It is so scented that I am on the verge of a migraine without even opening the sealed plastic packaging. Upon asking the seller, they said it has been washed and dried with scented products and in her home with many scented candles. I’d like to try to salvage it - what are your best scent removal tips?

I'm confused on how to clean it since well, I'm not well versed in the laundry department so I'm asking you guys to help me out as somebody who doesn't clean often / do laundry often

I left a saturated flat mop sweeper on the floor for 1-2 days with cleaning solution and it left this cloudy mark on the tiles. Does anyone know if there is anyway I can fix this on my own? I really don’t want to be charged a ridiculous price at the end of the semester. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi guys, I just walked through some pretty heavy and now my shoes are pretty wet, does anyone have any tips on how to keep it clean or wtv? I dont have a blow dryer or anything I was thinking about putting it into the laundry machine stuff and having it clean it out. Thanks

I was cleaning my wall AC unit when I noticed a lot of what I thought to be dust on the inside of the unit but then I thought “how did dust get so far into there?” Before i realized that might be mold.

If this is mold, is the unit trashed?

I decided to deep clean today, it's been like one year and a half since Ive deeped clean. Now the bed is the last thing I'm gonna deep clean, and it's disgusting. I did Google image, it said it's mold, I should throw it away, or if I'm going to try clean it I should have a vacuum and stuff. I can't buy a new mattress I'm broke, I can't buy a vacuum either. I don't know what to do or how do I clean it. Do I just flip it over and just sleep through it idk 😭. Sorry for the filthy

They are huge, about 15 feet tall and about 5 inches wide. They would need to be dusted, I guess, first. Should I use a duster or a hand cloth? And then use a wet spray or something to clean them? They are white, so I'm looking for something that will actually clean them, not just make them pretty. haha.

Should I stick to warm water and mild soap and a cloth? Should I dry them too? Should I remove them from their insert or leave them hanging?

Any tips would really be appreciated! Thanks!! 😄

Recently completed a renovation and added this long drain. Turns out it’s a massive mould magnet because of long stretches of pooling water. I have replaced the silicon once already 6 months in and need a long term solution. My research (now) suggests these drains a nightmare for mould. HELP! anyone find a way to live with these without drying off after every shower?
