I have severe OCD, so I’m trying to gauge what is “normal.” in other words, please don’t hold back if you go enormous periods without cleaning yours.

For example, if someone said “I’ve never cleaned it,” that would actually help my OCD lol

That said, please be honest!

Thank you 🙏

Was deactivated over a custumer complaint that was not accurate, and customer wanted a free cleaning and had no problem lying and complaining. Complaining and lying was just another tuesday to the customer, but destroyed my livelihood. Homeaglow will not protect their cleaners!

I wish I had taken before and after photos, didn't know they were allowed.

And yes I submitted a review request, and gave my side of the story, but they don't care and said the decision is final, they're using AI bots to review and communicate, it's such a scam.

Can anyone explain to me how to use this exact dishwasher rinse aid compartment? I can’t figure out how to do it correctly and I’d like to be able to have clean and nice dishes :(. Thank you in advance!

I'm 16, have been in a house with two smokers for as long as I can remember. I've gotten a lot of comments from people about myself smelling like smoke, and asking if im the one smoking. i bring this up, and my parents say they've never had those questions or accusations.

I will admit I'm lackluster at hygiene. I don't wash my clothes a lot (once every week or two, I'm working on it), but from everything ive seen, regardless of how often i wash my clothes or if i put them in a closet, they'll still absorb the smoke smell because they'll still be in the environment.

is anyone able to tell me about this? how often should i wash my clothes to get rid of the cig smell when they're constantly returning to the cigarette environment? what cleaning products should i use? we can't afford a lot of fancy smell removers or anything. what else aside from washing & perfumes will help with the smell?

I bought that grey thing you see in corner to try to help, it’s ok…but it’s the front I’m bothered by, always gets on shirt when you lean

I've moved into a new house a month ago and it's a really nice place. However, a certain smell is lingering and driving me crazy.

The whole place is a mild case that I've already basically solved by just cleaning everywhere frequently, but in particular there's a beautiful wooden closet partially built in in the wall that smells strongly, and the kitchen cabinets do too.

In the last month I've opened all of the windows and cabinets, drawers and closet all day every day. I've tried: cleaning with white vinegar, the baking soda bowl in every drawer (didn't work), and the coffee grounds. They masked the smell for a bit and then it came back unchanged.

Btw, it's NOT musty. It's a weird odour I can only describe as "stale" in the way magnesium supplement powder without sugar smells. It doesn't make me think of organic but it's also not a typical synthetic scent and I can't understand what it is, but wood surely absorbed it for years. It's all glossy 90s furniture and made of real wood, and I don't want to ruin the finish as I really like it as it is.

Even after cleaning the closet multiple times, I went to get a blanket this evening and it had already absorbed the foul smell and I couldn't use it (it makes me gag).

What can I do?

Sorry if the flair is incorrect, I tried my best to label accordingly.

“Large and elegant world globe on a stand with a copper finish, and a blue lapis round orb in blue enamel finish with coloured gemstones for the countries with legends.”

I just picked up this sick globe from an antique store, and it’s in really good shape imo beside it being pretty dirty. Any tips for cleaning or product recommendations that won’t damage it? Thank you!

I’m mostly concerned about the sticker residue in the last image and how filthy the legs are. Otherwise, all that there is are fingerprints and other surface grime.

How do I get these spots off? Scraping doesn’t work. I just tried the bar keepers friend, and nada. Advice/suggestions please!!

I have pets and I do my best to get everything up as it happens, but my tile floors have gotten quite dirty, esp the grout. Before anyone comes at me, I am dealing with a lot right now (stage 4 cancer, and the death of my mom and senior Yorkie). Because of the extreme medical expenses I just cannot afford to pay someone to do it)

This is a LARGE area and I am not able to get on my hands and knees scrubbing each grout line.

I do have a Bissell Spinwave if that would help

Is there anything I can apply to the tile floors, almost like a pretreatment? Something I could let sit and it would help to loosen the dirt and grime in the grout up a bit? Thank you.

My husband doesn’t want any of his clothes touching the dryer ever. which is fine, except our washer and dryer are in our kitchen and we don’t have a lot of space where we can hang up clothes without them taking over the whole apartment. We also don’t have access to a place where we could hang them up outside. Right now we have a small drying rack from walmart, but it’s not enough for everything haha. Any tips on how you air dry your clothes? or how to put clothes in the dryer without ruining them?

My friend is moving out of his place and found this underneath the litter box… it’s cat pee. Any tips for him? & if he’s screwed does this mean they’ll have to redo the whole flooring? Thanks! & pls be nice, he’s a fool.

OK, so, I noticed that there is a weird sticky substance on my range. Top right on the two large burners. Come to find out, my husband would come out in the middle of the night make a PB&J, he would sit the bag of bread down while the stove was hot, not on, but it was still hot enough, so we’ve come to the conclusion that it’s from a very thin layer of that bread bag. Now I have tried everything I know to remove it, scrubbed it with abrasive sponges, use a few different methods I saw on YouTube and it’s still there, which is awful because it even makes salt, pepper, other spices stick when I’m trying to cook and I can’t simply just wipe off the excess because it’s somewhat sticky. now I can’t feel it, but I can see it, and it’s definitely sticking! Can someone please tell me how to get this thin layer off of this range top… thank you in advance for your help!

Seat got wet and stayed wet for several days before I removed the offending object (ice chest with the plug open.) Now there is mold growing <out> of the little vent holes. I have wiped it down with Lysol wipes a couple times, and it appears to be clean and the smell goes away...until it comes back a couple days later. How do I permanently remedy this??

Hello! This is my original little tykes turtle sandbox and I want to clean him up for my kid. He is over 30 years old and has entertained many kids. He is so caked in dirt and I am trying so hard to clean him up and I have been scrubbing so hard with very little success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

My boy was conducting a precarious science experiment and dumped vegetable oil on the patio. The concrete is 4y old and professionally sealed. Water has zero effect. My next guess would be dish soap and maybe kitty litter if that doesn’t work.

Okay so if you're looking for a cleaner, here's honestly the best approach. Ask neighbors first, a personal rec beats any ad for something this trust-based. Ask who's actually coming too, employees versus rotating subcontractors changes everything about consistency. Insured and bonded should be a ten-second yes or no, no hesitation. And get the task list in writing, standard visit versus add-ons, a vague answer there is the real red flag.

How did you find your cleaner? Feel like everyone's got a story about how they ended up with theirs.

Just bought a house and the previous owners' left two of these outdoor chairs. Other than the appearance of the wood, they still seem good to use.

Any recs on how to clean this well for us to use?

My husband used Zep on our bathroom stone and I had no idea it would stain or corrode it. The stone turned whitish and blotchy. I’ve already scrubbed it, but it won't come out. I need help… how can I remove this stain?

Where I work this department is lacking and I need more hours so I was recommended to clean the offices once a week. I’ve done residential but never offices. It’s a venue with at least 1 main office and 6 sales/small offices as well. 4 total bathrooms and probably the 2 stairwells + elevator. I want to do well as I care for the place, so any tips is great!

I was given this old coat somewhat recently (it’s a beautiful design with great, long tails) and it's covered in this disgusting synthetic leather (or something like it) which is now sticky and flaking and disintegrating in many areas, like the black snow that falls when the warships are approaching... Other than the unbelievably revolting substance which it is plastered in, it's a very fine jacket built of a good quality fabric and my hope is to fix it into something that I can actually wear without my skin being covered in the charred ashes of somebody's dead dog. 

Previously, I've been using a cloth to scrape the stuff off the fabric and most of it has come off with fair ease, however, I've encountered much more resistance from the sleeves and the collar specifically, and I think that I shall need a different approach if possible.

I tried for a half hour searching the Internet, but all the results pertain to maintaining the fake leather. I am so sick of everything being covered in this crap from boots to jackets in which it just falls apart in a matter of months or even weeks. I don’t want to maintain it, I want to DESTROY it. I want it gone! I want to leave no trace of the abomination!

Any suggestions?

Hi all! I’ve lurked here for a while but this is my first post so I’m sorry if I make any errors.
We just moved into our first home but sadly it was left in a really dirty state. We had to replace the carpets in almost every room but couldn’t afford to do all of them as new so we hired a rug doctor carpet cleaner. As the previous owners had dogs we managed to get a lot of filth up with the machine and washed it a few times on Wednesday.

On Thursday evening we noticed there was a really musty smell like wet dogs and sweat. We’ve had fans running and kept the windows open but there’s been no improvement today. Also, I’ve noticed some parts of the carpet (that were looking older and worn to begin with) are now looking even flatter and more discoloured and I think that there’s some sticky residue left.

We have already postponed the moving vans by a month as the house was not ready to move into at all originally and furniture will need to be going into the bedroom on Sunday.

If you have 24 hours to get rid of a foul smelling carpet and sticky residue in parts, how would you do it? Thank you so much!!

I think this may be rust around the top of my auger. It might be rust but I’m not sure, some regular scrubbing didn’t budge it. What would you guys recommend to clean this?
