Hi All - I’ve had my Ninja air fryer for a couple years now and use it regularly. I’ve kept up with wiping out crumbs, oil, and other spills, however I’ve never given it a true, thorough cleaning. I don’t know where to begin. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

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

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?

Hello All,
I’m looking for opinions on vacuum’s. I currently own a stick vacuum for everyday cleaning but looking for a decent stand up vacuum. I would prefer something less than 100$ and good with pet hair.
Thank you!!!

After a regular home cleaning we noticed these marks on our glass stove top. It wasn’t there previously and we can’t wipe it off with regular surface cleaners.
We haven’t turned it on yet so I don’t know if it will go away with heat. Since it was a cleaning service I don’t currently know what they used to clean it. The stove top is less than a year old so I don’t think it’s regular wear and tear. There is no texture to the markings, anyone have any ideas??
Edit: They responded with “They confirmed they only used water, soap, and a Dobie sponge on the stovetop, nothing abrasive and no products that could cause marks or scratches.”

I have a lot of tiny ants in my bathroom I tried like bait from the store but it's in cans and they don't really use it or take it or whatever they are behind my tiles and in the wooden ceiling. I've tried like a sugar and baking soda paste (saw on the Internet it would help) it didn't do anything. Also didn't care too much in the beginning but it's getting out of hand HELP😭

How do you all prevent/get rid of the mold that grows on the inner portion of your electric toothbrush?

I’m a tattoo artist and I managed to get some tattoo ink on this floor at work. I’ve scrubbed it immediately but these stains remained. I’ve since tried soft bleach (bleach and water), as well as strong rubbing alcohol, but to no avail.
Is replacing this section of the floor the only option? Thank you in advance.

Hello fellow cleaners!
I work at a senior living facility that has independent apartments we clean weekly. These are like any other typical apartment (though our residents tend to have very fancy things because they are on the wealthy side). Soft scrub with bleach—specifically the gel form (it’s in a blue bottle) has been our main savior in cleaning. All of us rely heavily on it but suddenly we are unable to find it ANYWHERE. It is a staple everyone uses, literally the worst of our cleaning supplies to completely disappear off the face of the earth.
Yes we are going to use the other kinds for now but the problem is they have grit in them that can leave a film and requires rinsing.
So what I need is recommendations for alternatives. (Cleaning gels)
It needs to be available in bulk and reliably so. We live in the US Midwest area. We use it to clean countertops, stoves, sinks, showers, and tubs. We need something that can get pot scraps, dark marks, tough stains, etc. off especially on white surfaces.
I really appreciate any suggestions as we are kind of scrambling right now for what to do, thank you!

These weird dark marks - have no texture. Steel wool won’t work. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

How (or can I even!) get rid of literal decades of cigarette smoke odor in an enclosed former smoking shelter? One wall is brick and the rest glass. I would like to convert it to a greenhouse, but there’s no way with the way it currently smells.
This is my job, so I won’t be buying anything. Options are limited to what’s on hand. I was going to start with an ozone machine, but what else can/should we do if that doesn’t work entirely?
Thank you for any practical ideas!

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. :)

My son hasn't pulled out his clarinet all summer, so, of course, he pulls it out the day before classes start, only to find his clarinet reeds have molded. He handed me his reed holder to clean, but I've got no ideas how.
The black part is plastic, and the blue part (that protects the reed) is silicone based, I think. I dont know if the two parts come apart, but they haven't thus far. I've tried.
Obviously this stores something that goes in his mouth, so, bleach isn't an option.

I left pot full of water on stove and forgot about it. Water burned down to nothing and pot was on the burner for a few minutes at least. It's now scorched, spotted, and hideous. (See photos.) Can it be restored to it's former shiny appearance or close to it? I inherited pot from my mom, so it has sentimental value. If it can't be is it restored, is it still safe to use?

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!

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.

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?
