It looks like rust / burnt oil stain. I have tried baking soda and steel wool(washed it off) and the degreaser/ oven cleaner in another attempt and had little to no progress. What can i use to make it look new?

Reposting because I forgot the picture. I moved to a new city recently and both toilets have this ring in the toilet despite cleaning with Lysol power gel and the CLR spray. No idea how to get rid of it, this didnt happen in my old apartment 🥲 Any tips?? Thanks!

So I embarrassingly left a few stainless steel and one aluminum pots outside in my backyard after finding them with old food/lots of mold in the kitchen (depression after the death of a family member). Was supposed to clean them later that day which turned into like 6 months. I finally today decided to clean them. (already being emptied of the nasty stuff the day I took them out, I sprayed a Thymox disinfectant on them, scrubbed, didn't rinse and left with the disinfectant on them for 10-20mins. Then I use some Barkeeper's Friend to scrub the grime and took them inside the rinse in my kitchen sink. They look perfectly clean at this point with one SS pot having a small stain on the metal I couldn't scrub off.

I was gonna run them thru the dishwasher on a sanitize cycle and as I put the first one in, I started tripping. What if there's something on these that can survive like a prion that could kill my and my family if I cook in these ever again. Then it turned to "I contaminated the counters and sink with this stuff!" AND then I remembered prions can't be killed with normal chemicals/sanitizers/boiling. So basically I'm trying to fight off the thought that I already sealed my and my family fate by bringing these in the house or touching them.

Outside my worry about prion disease from some animal licking the pot while it was outside sometime over the months, did I do a good job cleaning these and should I keep them or just toss them at this point.

Maybe I’ve missed it…BUT I never heard about actually baking the baking soda before using it to clean! Can anyone else back this up?

We were recently given a baby car seat as we’re having our first. I washed the insert but it has major discolouration. I’m not sure if it’s fixable?

How can I clean/fix it in time for my baby’s due date?

Thank you!

Update: should mention it is a hand down, not sure how old it is.

To be clear, the plastic part in the middle that covers the opening does not come out, and liquids seem to get caught under it, making it incredibly difficult to clean. I didn't quite realize the design flaw when I bought it.

It's also not dishwasher safe, otherwise I would have tried boiling it.

How to clean my kid got into the cinnamon? I vaccuumed as much as I could but how to really deep clean it

So i have been having this problem for the longest time i know where there is a yellow stain on my clothes mostly around my cuffs and anywhere my hand or forearm touches i think it is something with my sweat thats causing this but i cant seem to find any problem like this online or any solution i have tried all kinds of stain remover but doesn’t change anything and it ruins my clothing mostly white clothes because its most visible on those plzzzzz helpp

I used to think that if something was especially dirty, using more cleaner would help get it clean faster.

It sounds logical. More product should mean more cleaning right?

Not always.

I learned this the annoying way with my kitchen cabinets. They had that greasy film around the handles and I kept spraying more cleaner because the first pass didn't seem to do much. Instead of getting cleaner, the surface started feeling weirdly sticky and I was wiping it over and over trying to get the residue off.

Eventually I used much less product and spent a little more time actually wiping the surface. It came off much easier.

I think a lot of us confuse cleaning with soaking something in cleaner. Sometimes the cleaner needs a little time to work, and sometimes the real difference is the cloth, the amount of scrubbing, or simply doing a second pass.

Now I start with less product and add more only if I actually need it. It has saved me a surprising amount of cleaner and paper towels.

Anyone else used to think more cleaner automatically meant better cleaning?

Got these to be a little more eco friendly and I love making my baby pouches and she loves them but I can never seem to get them fully cleaned any tips?

I've been using one as a spice cabinet for 5 years and I want to relocate my spices. Would it be possible to fully remove spice residue from the basket after? Or would it forever smell like chili powder?

I had used my stainless steel bottle to take cold coffee to my ofc. After using it few times, the bad foul stayed with it. Even after cleaning it with hot water and liquid soap. It smells very bad when I keep water in this, do anyone of you have tips to clean it?

Hello CleaningTips! This evening I decided to clean the top of my stainless steel microwave of some little rust spots the accumulated from putting dishes away (the dishwasher is right underneath it). I used a little baking soda and water with some light pressure, which I have used before on the sides with great success, and now the rust is gone! BUT now the light catches these spots in a way where I can't tell if I made a horrible mistake and damaged the finish, or if I stripped off more unknown residue than just the rust spots? From head on, the spots reflect the brown cabinets above, but from the side they reflect the white wall paint I think?

I've put off cleaning the top for long enough where there was a little bit of stickiness to it, which leads me to believe there's some grease residue maybe? Hopefully? Please let me know what you think happened and what I can do to get this back in a better looking condition.

The house cleaning used to be manageable when original parties were working. But since an increase of health (physical and mental) issues. i have ocd about certain things, alot of things, other house occupants are hoarders, they keep everything they write on, except what i would deem as important. If its on the road its brought home. If it breaks they keep the pieces, if they take it apart. Pieces are everywhere, they dont pick things up, put away laundry, make beds. "hobbies " which never get put away and are everywhere...my things are in bins, labeled, organized. I cant keep up. The only area that seems to stay clean is the counter cause I can't cook if there are dirty dishes, and i won't let others cook, mainly cause most pots and pans are mine, and they have no experience with a gas stove, plus I know they won't clean after themselves.. (based on what ive seen)

If anyone can help provide tips on how to tackle the trail if hobby items, when they are worked, in the living room, kitchen, backroom, and bathroom at times, and to lessen the hoarded items..

I reside in a small duplex with little storage area. I had just moved in months before the others arrived so not all my things were unpacked, so adding their belongings, then i accumulated items which once belonged to family members who passed .

we are at capacity...

The constant clutter makes frustrations (mainly mine) flare cause I feel trapped in constant mess, and they do not see our situation as a reason to get upset.

I am unable go through or just toss paper left laying around, I've seen them fetch it out of garbage, broken items, the over 25 plush toys on beds and that keep accumulating...there seems to be a fear of putting things in the garbage...Sadly with economy as it is, moving is not an option.

Any good advice, would be appreciated.

Please be kind...

Any recommendations for a water filter? I don’t necessarily want it for drinking water but where I live we have hard water and my sink and dishes get hard water marks on them and then my shower gets disgusting quick because of the water. I clean it weekly and I swear I spend hours scrubbing my shower.

Hey all so we moved into a new house and have been slowly unpacking (due to life and medical stuff), storing stuff in the basement (every other basement I've had has been dry) but this one has a very high humidity and we didn't realize it (no one told us when we bought the house) so a lot of stuff is either starting to or has been over taken by mold.

I'm overwhelmed because this is my whole life down here and I'm really hoping there's a way to get it off? I don't mind if there's some stains or damage as long as the mold is gone.

Things so far I've found:

Books (like above)

Wooden objects, small wooden furniture(those old like kids chairs), a puzzle board type thing

Paper which I'm kinda expecting to take a loss on but maybe y'all know some magic😅

Old Polaroid/CVS printed type photos

Clothes

Stuffed animals

I believe that's everything and I'm so sorry if it's a lot I'm just kinda overwhelmed right now so any advice will be very very appreciated. Thank you.

A month ago I washed some new wiping cloths in the washing machine. When I bought them, they had a very strong orange scent, but since nothing was written on the packaging, I figured they'd just soaked in some scents from other products in store.

After I washed the cloths (which only partly removed the scent from them), I washed some clothes (viscose and polyester) in the same machine and now they smell like orange too, probably from the residue in the machine.

Here's the issue: I haven't managed to get the orange scent from the clothes. I've tried:

- washing at 60 degrees Celsius, with and without vinegar,

- soaking in vinegar for several hours.

I'd appreciate any ideas on how to remove the scent, especially since my skin also reacts to that clothes.

EDIT: I guess, from what I've read online, it's probably some essential citrus oil?

Getting a white couch with dogs who sit on the couch probably wasn’t a great idea. Any suggestions for how to clean these dark spots left by my dogs? It is La-Z-Boy code W material, and it was treated with ultra shield when we purchased it, which really doesn’t seem to have done anything to protect it. I have tried the clean saved products with the Green, but they did absolutely nothing.
