They did everything a normal sponge could not plus they also smell musty after 1 use.

Buy towels you can wash. But disposable scrubbers for the worst parts.

I got it off the website. I used instructions. I can’t reuse it. Buy but cloths ffs, same price or a 10 pack of sponges.

I don’t get the hype.

ETA: love how I’m getting downvotes for not liking the specific brand scrub daddy. There are other sponges and other methods. Your parents didn’t have scrub daddy’s and made it work.

So many people are saying put them in the dishwasher. That is a LUXURY. Do you know how expensive a dishwasher is??? Why would I even need one if I could just throw everything in a dishwasher?!? I’m disabled, living off 600 a month not including food and electricity. There are many who aren’t disabled and struggle the same. Expensive, useless sponges aren’t for us.

My apartment has a big floor-to-ceiling window, and I would always resort to the common spray + paper towel technique. Everything seemed clean at a distance. But as the sun struck at the right time the streaks appeared everywhere. I was convinced that it was the cleaner, so I used various brands over the years, and it turned out that it was not the issue at all.

One of my friends just told me that she uses a simple rubber squeegee on her windows. Nothing flashy, a mere cheap one. I did not pay much attention to it originally- it always seemed to me rather a car wash device than an interior glass one. Nevertheless, I tried it the following weekend.

It was all too easy:

Spray the glass

Wipe across the top, horizontal.

Then brush down the squeegee in vertical lines that cross over each other.

Wipe the blade with a cloth, between strokes.

That`s it.

One of my large windows required me about 4 minutes to clean it. The following day, when the sun broke through, I had literally stopped, as the glass appeared. invisible. No streaks, no haze, no strange residue in the corners--completely clear.

That is how I found myself repainting all the windows in my apartment that day.

In retrospect, I believe that the paper towels were dropping little fibres all along and this is why I never got the perfect finish. I even have come to use a small squeegee on my bathroom mirror now and it does the same.

A mere change of switches but the change is enormous.

I have previously enjoyed shopping for clothes in thrift stores but lately I’ve noticed that even handling detergent scented clothing gets into my skin in my hands. I experience a sore throat, brain fog and I feel frustrated that this toxic nonsense is being sold!

I am so dumb and irresponsible. I poured my turmeric drink in the sink without rinsing it and I came back to it this morning and our sink is stained yellow. (I know, I know.. I’m sorry and I promise to never do it again!!!)

I have tried Clorox toilet bowl cleaner with bleaching gel, Bar Keepers Friend, and baking soda and vinegar.

I live with the owner of the home and she is in Italy for the next 10 days. How can I fix this before she comes back? I’m desperate and considering a ceramic sink painting kit from Lowe’s.

Please help!!!!

It might be mold or mildew. I have no clue I’m new to all of this.

Edit:

Hey OP here! Just wanted to let everyone know that I most likely will not be investing in a new, expensive shower curtain due to the fact the spores have no effect on me, due to the immunity I have developed over the course of their 9 year infestation! 😁

Am I crazy for double gloving(it's used in the medical field, and some other industries) I use 2 layers of disposable of different colors to add a lil more protection and also prevent cross contamination whenever I clean the sink and other surfaces(like the stove, counters, etc), i do find it practical for me. Side note: I work at a factory and have to use disposable as part of my ppe everyday for anythign from handling raw material, chemicals to finished product that's sensitive to skin oils and have to sometimes double glove, so it feels weird if I don't wear gloves

Soapy water doesnt seem to be doing much, is it over for the left one

So,

For the record. I didn’t intend for this to happen. It was a freak accident and I have only but gravity and myself to blame.

I was making supper for my sister and I when I went to put a baking sheet full of chicken wings into my oven. Little to my knowledge the PLASTIC Pyrex lid decided to vacuum itself on the bottom. I didn’t see it when I went to put my lovely wings into the oven. Fast forward 5 minutes and I realized I turned my oven into a resin drip 3D printer.

Now to say I was stoked about this is a fallacy. I ended up going to Pizza Hut for the evening because I couldn’t even look at my oven for a couple days. But because I love cooking and baking too much. I took it step by step and got all the plastic out. Using stove top cleaner and an expired credit card. This process took me days. But I was able to get it so that I was able to use the self cleaning function and wiped out any remnants of Satans plastic.

Now. Do I blame me for this whole debacle? Yes. But… I question this. Whose bright idea was it for Pyrex to go to plastic lids. You sadistic piece of human garbage. I hope you take too big of a bite of steak and choke.

Anywho, rant over.

I’m old and apparently old school! I have these things I call bath mats! You step on them when you step out of the shower or tub. Not a rug. Maybe cotton or a blend Trying to buy a few new ones! Type in bath mats in Google I get rugs! Do they have another name now? Do people no longer use them?

UPDATE : I am not saying they should be barefoot or with socks, I think they should either wear “clean inside shoes” or booties over. I don’t think it’s okay to keep their outside shoes on while cleaning.

We hired a cleaning company to deep clean our house (includes base boards, wiping the cabinet doors, windows, blinds, dusting etc.). They did not take their shoes off and kept walking over the places that they have just cleaned. When they left, our bathroom with white tiles were covered in footprints, most windows were not cleaned, they dusted around the frames, books etc- which is what I do when I do a quick surface cleaning, when I hire a professional company I expect them to take the stuff down from the shelves and dust the entire shelf not just the spots they can reach without moving anything. Overall it was a bad experience, my wife and I ended up fighting over it.. and I had to mop the floors after they left, the water was even dirtier than usual. I feel like them not taking their shoes should have been the first red flag, am I right?

I saw this on Pinterest [tanyahomeinspo] and saved it. I think I can agree to most of it. Except for the bra & pillows. I hand wash my undies every use and the pillows, every week.

What do you think?

Made the very last minute decision to get married this weekend. My fiancés dad is very sick and we want him to be there. I have no extra money right now to buy my dream wedding shoes, so these sad boots will have to do. How do I clean them up and make them less sad looking? #sadboots #feeling defeated

I feel like bleaching the heck out of it but I think it's too embedded. Can I save these or should I do a return? I spent $42 on moldy baskets but finding 3 that look similar, fit precise measurements of the changing table plus they're super cute.... I'm at a loss.

I struggle with depression and my room has gotten pretty bad again (or atleast what I consider bad) and I really need it cleaned but idk where to start or how to even get the motivation, I feel stuck.

I recently moved in with my MIL. I asked if I could clean the bathrooms and she said she cleans with Dawn dishsoap and nothing else.

I’m very sure that she doesn’t use stronger cleaning chemicals, because she has a strong sense of smell and a lot of strong smells make her feel sick.

Does anyone know of a sanitizer/disinfectant that doesn’t smell so that I can use it without her knowing??

I wash almost all the dishes in my house including the dishes the cats use in our kitchen sink with cold water. I'm a wimp and can't handle the hot water. My husband occasionally washes dishes and sometimes the same problem arrises so I know the temperature isn't the issue. I'm a woman who occasionally is particularly hormonal, so some smells are just like ew and some smells (like this one) I cannot stay in the presence of or I will either get very loud and rude and/or burst into tears. It's just a thing I deal with. But I wash my dishes well in cold water and leave them to dry in the dish drain over a plastic tray that I also wash regularly. I get a new sponge out if the old one smells bad and I also rinse it out thoroughly and dry it every time I finish with it. I use Dawn dish soap. So what the heck am I supposed to do when specifically my stoneware plates and bowls smell kind of like wet dog after they've been thoroughly washed and let dry?! Please help, my husband can barely smell the smell and I can't even sit next to him when he's eating off a plate that smells bad. Oh, and it's not every time either.

I wash my sheets weekly but still have to vaccum my bedsheet daily using a special vaccum (designed to suck all dust out of the bed using vaccum suction and ultrasounds, and killing dust mites using UV light) because everyday I open up my bed vaccum there is a big handful pile of dusts inside.

I am curious if anyone else has the same experience. And for those who vaccum their bed, how often do you do it ?

P.S I already have an air purifier in my room , I also have 2 dogs that like to sleep on my bed but I do groom them regularly

It may be a very silly question to a lot of you. I clean my bathroom once a week. I dont see why soap doesnt do the trick? We arent going into the bathroom to eat off the floor. Why would I need to disinfect the inside of my toilet? I close the lid whenever I flush.

EDIT: I do scrub the inside of my toilet once a week with soap. I just dont like using harsh chemicals and don't see a reason for it, so I thought I'd ask ya'll.

What are some other things you should NOT do, that may not be common knowledge?

Anyone know what works on hard to reach stains in heady bongs(not that the heady aspect would change anything afaik)? Really appreciate any help y’all are willing to offer. Just please no “91% iso and salt” bc I’ve definitely tried that and more. In saying that, I realize I’ll probably encourage many to comment just that, but Reddit is gonna Reddit; that just can’t be helped.

Ps. Here’s my 1 year old American Eskimo who just got de-balled 24 hours ago. His name is Kaiju and obviously he’s a good boy. He doesn’t usually look so bummed, so I provided a couple normal pics😅

Every pass just seems to bundle the hair (long hair from my gf and dog fur) and it takes a few attempts before the bundle is taken up. Is there a vacuum head that's better at scraping the hair off in one go? I use a Miele C1 Compact for reference, it has good suction power.
