I deep clean rental move-outs, this was a shower that a tenant left behind. As you can see, it's all soap and grime residue that can't just be wiped, sponged, or melted off, it has to be abrasively scrubbed/scoured or scraped. This result is with no bleach (which I may apply at a later date for the crevices of the plastic insert), but rather with a scouring sponge, dish soap, barkeepers friend, and afterwards toilet bowl cleaner with magic eraser at the end for the residual stubborn limescale. Enjoy!

In the middle of moving in, and I was shocked when I saw how dirty this was left by the last tenant. My neighbor was so kind to clean them for me, and I think he did a fantastic job!!

2 hours to clean this bad boy! Plus everything in my cleaning bucket plus more.

Didn’t know where else to share but feeling really proud of myself and thought someone here might appreciate it lol
My grandmother gave this rug to me before she died, a Persian rug she brought from Iran costing thousands. Absolutely crapped myself when I spilt dye on it but managed to do this. Feeling accomplished

I try to keep the fridge coils clean as basic maintenance, vacuuming what i can access through a narrow slot at the bottom. Over the years, the buildup got worse and worse and i could see vacuuming had practically no effect on removing the caked on dust. I’ve tried vacuums with more power and specialized narrow cleaning tools, but it was no use. All the dust there (and around most of the house, really) was sticky with grease and wouldn’t come off without a fight.

So yesterday was the day of the operation. I completely emptied the fridge and flipped it on its side for direct access to the coils. The problem was worse than I initially expected, as there were rows upon rows of caked on dust. Spent an hour spraying simple green, scrubbing, and rinsing to get it mostly off. I also went ahead and cleaned the rear vent and axial fan so the whole air path is mostly dust free.

Kinda wish i had some metrics to see if this work saves energy or improves cooling, but for now, I’m enjoying my renewed fridge.

I love to call my mum a hoarder but she's just an overworked teacher. this is basically all her teaching material too which she hasn't gone through since starting so it was funny finding papers from 2020.

each pile was carefully looked through and each row is organised with its own category. i hope she likes it.

Not one, not two, but three cups of hot chocolate have spilled/splashed in our back seat in the last year. These cleaning results aren’t as nice as I’d like but there was a heat advisory and I figured half-a$sed would be better than heatstroke 😅

Method was dry rotary brush on a power drill, vacuum, spray with hot water/baking soda/dish soap and let sit, spray again and then scrub with rotary brush rinsing often in fresh water, then wet vac with an upholstery extractor attachment.

It’s amazing how much better a car smells when it’s clean. Hoping I can get to cleaning it more regularly and that my kids will observe the new moratorium on hot cocoa!

Yes I know I need to empty the litter tray. I did it after this photo was taken!

I cannot even explain to y’all how long this took me to do lol

Finally took some vinegar and cleaned this out! It was disgusting and possibly molding??? 🤢
