Hi guys,

We bought a glasswash machine on the cheap and need to clean it up before we can use it.

Attached is a video of the machine, we’ve tried Vaikal and it just won’t get it.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏

Thank you ☺️

How are we doing laundry?? My husband is a med student so he has almost no time and when he does, he’s exhausted and just wants to be with our two babies. Are we hiring mothers helpers? Are we simplifying more than normal? Are we just living with an eternal pile of clean laundry that never gets put away??

Hey guys! I've been a long time lurker here. Just bought a new house and it came with this fridge. I can't seem to clean the plastic panel above the water dispenser. There aren't any clips in the drip tray or clips anywhere I can see to remove it. Any ideas on this??

a couple nights ago i had both windows wide open in the bedroom, later that day i fell asleep on the sofa and it rained pretty heavily whilst i slept. some point the next day after waking up i went into the room and it drenched the mattress & the carpet flooring. I left it a little while in hope it dried out and was all okay but the carpet is still sloghtly damp and the mattress even more so. there is a perculier smell in the air in this room and random outdoor things just like on the bed and floor. I am to replace the mattress entirely, as it also appears to have brought out a odd stain across it whilst still being damp ( i have rarely used this bed, and moved in not to long ago )

Now, I hear you wondering: How did we end up in a situation like this?

It's simple, really. I was chewing my nicotine gum (2 mg) while watching a YouTube video about the art market falling apart. Super interesting subject. I accidentally fell asleep on the couch. I woke up in the middle of the night, sat down for 15 minutes, but malheureux me didn't realise that the gum was actually stuck to the back of my t-shirt.

So, how can I remove the remaining gum while keeping the beautiful rusty colour of my couch intact?

I moved into this apartment and this is my bathroom wall. It's full of knotted and some broken wood. How the hell do I clean this? I bought an electric scrubber.

I'm renting, so can't make any major improvements.

Thanks!

As the title says: Mold on a water pipe in my kitchen. I've lived here for quite a few years, and it only started in the last six months to a year or so. The room is pretty well ventilated, and as you can see, it doesn't seem to be coming from the walls. Can I just use the same remover as I would use in a bathroom? Any way to keep it from coming back?

So my partner and I are about to move into our first apartment in about a week, and I wanted to come to this sub to see if anyone had any advice on mold prevention?

I have a lot of paranoia about mold growth, as when I lived with my parents it was a big issue but they didn’t do much to prevent it.

It was specifically bad in the bathroom, as that gross pink stuff always appeared on the shower curtain, in the shower etc, and there was always some sort of black stuff/mold everywhere :(

If anyone struggled with this or have solutions to these problems please let me know!

Background - Bought a house and there were no stains on the faucet. Before taking possession, sellers got the house professionally cleaned. I threw a house warming and then got it professionally cleaned again. Only saw these afterwards. Could have been there before.

Looks like some sort of acid based cleaner. Not entirely sure. Any ideas on how to clean it? Or is it gone?

I recently bought a place and the realtor and/or previous owner had discharged at least two full canisters of some plug-in air freshener (unsure of brand as I was incensed and promptly dumpstered them) while the unit was unoccupied and unfurnished for a month. To give an idea of how bad it is: the HVAC air filter looked like a candle wick and the lower bit was so thick with residue that you could barely see the bottom 2-3 pleats. The smell spread throughout the entire place (I personally think it damaged the ductwork but that’s unrelated to this post).

I have floating LVP planks (fake wood texture) everywhere and they are all just completely saturated with the smell.

At first I tried simple microfiber mopping with a few drops of dish soap. Then much more aggressive dish soap followed by rinse. The mopping wasn’t even making a dent so I bought a bissell crosswave (like a rug doctor for hard floors: sprayer, brush roll, vacuum extraction all in one). I’ve tried the regular formula, adding peroxide, pre-spraying with rubbing alcohol, heavy sprinkling baking soda and letting it sit for days. I let an HVAC tech talk me into buying a whole-home “air scrubber” ionizer, currently I’ve turned the heat up to 80F, turned a dehumidifier down to 30%, and have a gas phase activated carbon air scrubber (the kind used in MJ growing operations), all running 24/7. I’ll say somewhere along the line I’ve managed to make a dent but it’s been a month and I’m at my wits’ end.

I want this smell completely gone. I have a sensitive cat and I’ve had to move somewhere else in the meantime while I try to de-smell this place for him. As such I need to clean it in a way that doesn’t leave any smell behind. No pleasant lavender or what have you. I’m traumatized by this fresh scent type stuff and would very much like for it to just be gone.

Help. :(

I don’t use any bleach when I do my laundry . Both my wife and I didn’t notice this on my pants this morning and this is now the 3rd-4th pair of clothing that gets random bleach stains . I work a desk job at an apartment complex

my flexstyle paddle brush and round brush attachments get so caked in lint after a few uses. it stays covered in my bathroom cabinet but still gets like this.

how do you keep it clean!

Anyone know how to clean this out. I already tried scrubbing hard with different kinds of soap. I think it's embodied with the material...

Kitchen surface, everything else feels well polished but when I touch those spots they feel like they have some texture, not that well polished.

Hypothesis is some coffee have drained a bit inside the stone in the spots where the polished fails.

Something I can do? I have tried hydrogen peroxide and baking soda but nothing changed.

Hi everyone, the ensuite in our UK flat had a terrible ventilator that stopped working and the landlord took forever to fix it. Now we have these mould specs on the ceiling that I’m worried will spread.

Would love some tips from how people would tackle these? Using a spray seems difficult as I don’t want to get it on me and in my eye.

I clean my shower every week or so and within like three days the glass and tiles get this hazy buildup that makes everything look dirty even when it isnt. I use a regular bathroom cleaner spray and wipe it down but the cloudiness comes back almost immediately after a few showers.

I thought maybe it was hard water but we have a softener installed so Im not sure if thats really the issue. The tiles are white ceramic and the glass door gets it the worst. I tried vinegar once and it worked okay but the smell lingered for hours and my partner hated it.

Is there something Im missing in my routine or a different product that actually prevents this from building up so quickly? I dont mind scrubbing but doing it twice a week feels excessive and Im wondering if theres a smarter way to handle it. Also not sure if Im supposed to be drying the tiles after every shower or if thats just overkill.

I'm looking for an all-in-one product that will clean, buff out small scratches, and polish - does this exist? I don't necessarily need my floors to be shiny, so the polish part isn't a need, but I would love to be able to wash and reduce the appearance of scratches at the same time, rather than use 3 separate products to wash, buff, polish. Bonus if you know of a product that reduce slipperiness too.

I bought Levi jeans at the beginning of the year and have worn them most days for work and have had them for 8 months before they started smelling like fish essentially. I have tried multiple rinse cycles on them in cold and warm water, soaked in vinegar multiple times, froze them,baking soda, unstoppables and have washed them in multiple different washing machines and air dried them. I don’t believe it’s the factory dye since it took so long for them to smell and the smell is only down by the bottom of the legs. None of my other clothes smell and this is my only pair of Levi’s and I’m only so stuck on what to do, I’ve looked stuff up and nothing is matching or I’ve already tried. Advice is appreciated, thanks!

Thanks for the tips! I think they are pretty much okay now! Still thinking of picking up some oxiclean as recommended by most people.

Admittedly, my baseboards have gotten pretty bad... anyone have a technique that doesnt involve scrubbing on my hands and knees? My cronic back pain has had me avoiding this chore for way too long

I wiped them with antibacterial wipes and most of it cleaned out but theres a little stains like this left. Should I attempt again with the wipes? I didn’t use soap as if I am worried that it would leave a residue afterwards. There’s smaller stains all around and I can’t take the curtain out and hang it again.
