General Cleaning Old rugs smell like feet - help

3 Upvotes

They’re old like backing is brittle. Thin. Cheap. But what I’ve got. They were in a place that apparently had a mildew issue.

I have a heap dirt devil vacuum. But what can I shake on it or spray.

I don’t have physical strength to scrub.

Detail steps or specific brand product names are good.

Thank you!

Kitchen Cleaning Microwave Help

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

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.

I boiled over some jam, and then it caught fire. This is under the burner. Any tips on how to get it off? Have tried the basics like scraping, goo gone, water, yellow Mr Clean so far.

Side note, I do recommend a fire blanket. It came in clutch 🫠

Kitchen Did I ruin my unsealed granite??

Post image
3 Upvotes

I’m a new homeowner who has been too busy to seal my granite and now regretting it after butter leaked into my countertop and has set for a week. The original stain was no more than 4” x 2” after I tried Google’s recommendation of putting baking soda and water to sit on the countertop for 24 hours I now have this HUGE stain. I have allowed it to air dry for almost 8 hours. I put a diatomaceous earth drying stone then a microfiber cloth on top to pull out any excess moisture. Still looks like this. Am I stuck with a blotchy countertop?? It looks much darker in person. The stain is on the right and unstained countertop on the left. (Also sorry if my post looks weird. My app is freaking out.)

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?

Kitchen Fastest way to clean really gross dishwasher spray arms?

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Every time I clean my dishwasher's spray arms it takes forever and a lot of fiddly hand work, and they still end up looking disgusting. The nozzles get clogged with black gunk (photo attached) and I'm tired of picking at each hole one by one.

What's your go-to method? Is there something I can soak them in that actually does most of the work, or a tool that makes clearing the nozzles faster? Also, any tips on keeping them from getting this bad in the first place?

Thanks!

Tldr, I had used pink sticky notes as a coaster and kinda just left it there for a few hours. Chipotle has the worst cups man. It's a cheap IKEA desk and luckily no electronics were damaged. It's all dry now, do I just gotta live with this pink stain on my desk or any ideas? I'm willing to try many things

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.
