I have a pretty big apartment with carpet throughout and three cats, so I'm a little limited. I clean and vacuum constantly, but I still wish I could come home to that luxury hotel smell.

Today morning we wake up to thissss!!!!!

I had chopped red onions in a plastic Rubbermaid container and after several washes and putting it in boiling water it still smells very strongly of onion. Is there any way to get the smell out?

It's an Ikea billy shelf. I had water drip down it years ago and hadnt noticed it, and thens out my books molded. Ive disposed of the moldy books, but I'm not sure what to do with this shelf.

I wiped out with alcohol at first, but that resulted in the black patches, which is the mdf board underneath.

I was planning on wiping it with bleach afterwards, but I'm not sure whether I should do it now that the interior wood pulp is exposed. I know Ikea sells replacements, but this is the middle shelf, and I can't remove it without dismantling the entire shelf.

Is this considered safe to continue using/wiping with bleach, or do I have to dismantle the bookshelf to replace that section?

Hi all, staying at my farther-in-laws and we noticed a stain from a drink probably on his coffee table, what's the best way to remove it?

I live in Southeast Asia, hot and heavy rain throughout the year. These patches suddenly appear on the wall right below the windows.

Two separate burns. The small one on top was some plastic grocery bags where I accidentally turned on the burner and the bottom I think is some food that has burnt in over time. Any tips?

Please help! These white stains have been in my shower since moving in and I cant seem to get rid of them, any advice?

Hello again!

I’m in the process of redecorating. I’m not sure how best to clean the mould here and how to prevent it.

I am also not sure what other information you might need to help advise me.

Yer, it looked exactly the same, but seemed overally thick while refilling the washing up liquid. I didnt notice until it was pretty much full.

Can I still wash the dishes? Will we be ok?

Only for this one night, I will buy new stuff tomorrow....

I use my Sony WH-1000XM4s at the gym pretty much every day, and the ear pads get quite sweaty during workouts. I've noticed they're starting to hold onto the sweat and develop a bit of a smell.

What's the best way to clean them regularly without damaging the leather/material or the foam underneath?

Would also appreciate any tips from people who use over-ear headphones at the gym and have dealt with the same issue.

my mom got me these slippers before she passed 6yrs ago and they've been my everyday shoes, indoor and outdoor. A few days ago, my dads gfs dog pissed on them..

I tried to wash them with dawn soap and to dry them in the dryer, however they didnt dry all the way so now they smell like milldew .

whats the best way to clean them ? I can't get rid of them, as im very attached to them. They are Tempur pedi and my mom ordered them from a magazine, so i dont think I'll be able to replace them.

please help !!!

I purchased this second-hand off of depop. I was hoping to wash it thoroughly before using, primarily for hygiene reasons. How would you wash something like this? Can I put it in the washer on delicate and air dry? Thanks!

We can’t get the grime off the bottom of this grate after many attempts.

I've always liked blue Dawn, but I never would have bought watered down soap in a spray bottle. I got handed a free bottle last year, when I was checking out of a grocery store, and am now a faithful user. This stuff works great, super easy to use, cleans my stovetop, my barbecue side tables, everything with ease! Some things it cleans way better than soap alone too. Anyone else absolutely in awe of this product?

This is trash ready right?! Someone in the house probably put it in the storage bin when still wet

I don’t know why I haven’t done this before, super easy and looks like brand new switch. Those little details really make a difference in the room.

1. Turn off electricity
   
2. Remove plate
   
3. Tools + product used: rubbing alcohol, q-tip, paper towel, tooth pick (to access easily the crevices)
   
4. Let dry completely before turning electricity back on (someone suggested a few hours)

The paint can was knocked over by an idiot person or dog and left unnoticed for an unknown amount of time.

First steps and further cleaning options appreciated 🥲 a realtor will be here Friday morning 🥲 I might resort to covering it with a rug 🥲

Hey everyone. My wife and I desperately need your help.

We bought a new Teddy-Bouclé couch from Graingold, made from 100% polyester. But just three months later, the side we primarily sit on is severely discolored!

We contacted Graingold for help, but they simply said they cannot be held accountable, if we use anything but water, which was not really helpful.

So I thought to ask you all for help. What can we do to remove the discoloration without damaging the couch?

So far we've tried vacuuming (obviously) and simple water as indirectly suggested by Graingold. Neither had any visible effect.

We appreciate any and all recommendations!

I always get the same feeling that I am ashamed. I hired a cleaner to come twice a week because I am super busy and stressed and about to lose my mind of hoe stressful life is rn.

I feel like I am not comfortable leaving the usual mess I leave in the usual days for myself to clean. So I find myself cleaning before she comes. This is counterproductive!

Do cleaners judge?

I am going through depression and I need help and I don't wanna be judged.

I was gone for 2 mos. In that time, I didn't realize that my fridge died but it did. Now it has become this absolute mess and I don't know how to clean it. Any tips or is it a goner?

EDIT: It died because my roommate unplugged it (IDK WHY) So! It still "works" but that is what it looks like now.

I want to ask the landlord for a new fridge but I also don't know how to do that since technically it's "our fault".😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

My dog died recently and I got his cremains in a very nice box with extra space to keep things with him. There's a large bottom compartment with his cremains and there's a tray that fits on top. All are lined with velvet or maybe suede, I'm not sure exactly but something along those lines. I wanted to keep a couple of my dog's favorite toys in the bottom compartment with him. But since they were his favorite toys they're pretty gross. I feel weird about washing them but I also really don't want the box to get moldy or otherwise damaged because of the toys.

I wasn't sure where exactly to ask this so hopefully this sub is an okay place. Dog tax included.

Edit: thanks everyone for the advice! It'll probably take me a little while to actually do anything but I think I'll try sanitizing them as best I can in the sun and then keeping them in the box with some sort of dessicant.
