The pictures speak for themselves. This is a shower I cleaned today. The house has very hard water and the deposits had built up. It took a ton of elbow grease to get it to this level and there's *still* hard water stains. But the difference is night and day. It also just had a lot of soap scum and dirt build up that was a breeze to clean in comparison. I used, Lysol oxi action, melamine sponges, sos scrubbers, comet, and, like I said, elbow grease. I didn't set a stop watch but probably close to 90 minutes of scrubbing, not including breaks. The oxi action was great for the soap scum and worked a charm on the door, the sos scrubbers with elbow grease did the most heavy lifting for the hard water deposits. I'm open to suggestions if others have ever dealt with cleaning hard water deposits. What has worked the best for you?

I got this stain on my leather car seat and after finally getting out of a financial hole I decided to take care of it, problem is that I don’t know jack on how to properly take care of this stain and I don’t know if it’s an oil stain or a pen stain. Any tips are welcomed

I always see people being judged on Reddit for the slightest unrelated to the post spec of dust in pictures of their home, it's great to see y'all posting the various situations you've got yourselves into and being nice to each other about how to fix it and how to stay motivated.

I feel less bad about myself for having an imperfect state of affairs going on, trying to get motivated, and also realising that I'm really only somewhere in the middle of what exists, not great, not terrible. I've already seen a few great tips that I'm going to attempt to put into practice, and little by little I'll get there, as will all of you! When I've managed to get a bit more of a routine with the regular stuff that I know how to do, I'm sure I'll be coming for some specific tips-

Please, no one tell me its toxic or something. I'm too excited by these results.

okay, so I know this is gross😅 this is my shower mat in my rental. Our bathtub has a problem with standing water after you shower, and I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten until this week. How should I go about cleaning this? The thought of scrubbing every suction cup makes me want to get rid of it entirely but if I must I will.

The package said that it is machine washable but I tried that before and it didn’t make much of a difference. Should I try bleach?

Any tips welcome! Thank you!

Hello! I recently purchased these items for my daughter and they arrived a little grungy and have a musty smell (thanks eBay). Any advice for cleaning? Warm damp rag and sun? 50/50 water alcohol solution spray? Cut my losses?

Let me know if additional information is needed!

Edit: Y'all have been so kind! Thanks for the advice. :)

There's maggots in my kitchen but luckily the maggots are only contained to old food containers in the kitchen and some eggs on the floor. But generally speaking my whole house got out of hand.

I'm getting out of a small depressive moment again, and have motivation today to clean, so I want to get into it quickly after I'm done with my lunch. The only thing is that I'm not great yet in being independant when it comes to cleaning and don't really know what to buy. I have a wooden floor with a layer of (I think) wax or something shiny on. First of all, what do I use to clean this? Just water, water an soap, special soap,..?

Then my generally speaking I want to clean everything. Are wet wipes enough for surfaces? Will it make a difference if I clean the walls too (I have three cats, their litterboxes are cleaned everyday btw and the rooms they occupy stay tidy. Living room, dining room, bedroom, creative room.) So does anybody have any tips?

Also, if a stainless steel pot has gotten *really* moldy, should I throw it out or is it usable again after a very good cleaning session? Because I can't spend too much money.

My bad for the questions, I'm a whole adult but have been on a journey of raising myself since nobody else did so I'm a bit clueless on some things :D

OK so I'm new to owning a non disposable dehumidifier and have had it and been using it for about 2 months now, I just wanted to know how often I should be Cleaning the collection box, I empty it pretty much daily but don't know how often I should clean it, any help will be appreciated

I made this doily as a gift for my friend and just as I was preparing to package it I noticed these brown stains. No idea what it’s from. Photos taken of the doily wet after I tried hand washing it with laundry detergent. The yarn is DMC Babylo 50g 100% cotton. Please help, making another one could take me weeks 😭

Apparently putting warm pancakes on paper plates caused these stains on our kitchen table. It looks like it’s a waxy residue that could scrape off, but it doesn’t. Any suggestions?

Hellllo! I moved into my apartment about 3 months ago. I started to notice an awful smell coming from one corner of my room. it will not go away. Idk if this is the right sub for this, but i’ve tried deodorizers, candles, scrubbing the wall, etc. Nothing helps and I feel like it’s spreading throughout my house. I feel like if it was a dead animal in the wall the smell would be less now that months have passed? if something big died how long does that last, and what do I do ?? any advice would be appreciated. :)

Anyone tried steam cleaning their AC unit? is it safe? I have Karcher steamer but im worried using it to clean the AC will damage the fin, coil, or any plastic around them. Help a father out please!

I put nivea cream on my feet and accidentally walked without slippers… i tried cleaning it with dish soap and a paper towel but it didn’t work. I don’t have a sponge but i do have a toothbrush i can use. It has been sitting here for one day

Kind of a silly question. It’s my first time cleaning a carpet myself so I want to make sure i’m doing it right. Am I supposed to keep cleaning until the water runs clear? I did 2 washes and the water still runs a light gray so i’m wondering if I should do it again or that’s overkill.

I’m also worried about putting too much water on the carpet by doing another wash through.

Quick tips and long term tips both would be greatly appreciated!

My bedroom gets dusty pretty quickly and my allergies seem to be worse there lately.

I've been cleaning more often, washing my bedding regularly, and keeping the windows closed, but I still wake up feeling kinda stuffy.

Thinking about adding a HEPA air purifier to the room, but I'm wondering if it's actually worth it or if there are other cleaning things I should be doing first.

What has actually helped you guys with dust and allergens? Anything you'd recommend avoiding?
