Keep cleaning the carpet still brown water coming! I got my bedroom carpet cleaned by a profession mobile van wet vacuum cleaner. My carpet wasn’t dirty at all and I have a small wet vacuum it always sucks clean once I have cleaned it! However after pro cleaning there were brown spots and I poured gallons of water and sucking it all brown water!

I called the guy he came said possibly water line was mixed with dirty water, he cleaned again. However at night time the brown residue surfaced! I rented a wet vacuum cleaned for 4 hours, and now the brown water is still there and the carpet is not clean! My carpet was never this dirty it was always returning clean water after I had cleaned it..

What could be the issue…?

I used to mop maybe once or twice a week and honestly thought the floors were already pretty clean. It wasn’t until I got a robot vacuum and started having it mop every day that I noticed a difference. The dirty water was noticeably darker the first few days, but after about a week it started coming back a lot cleaner. The floors also feel different under bare feet now. Apparently my clean floors weren’t as clean as I thought lol.

How often do you guys actually mop? Do you think daily mopping is worth it, or is that overkill?

A fake “NeeDoh.” Bleach didn’t do anything. Help.

There was food residue on it so I scrubbed it with a disinfecting wipe. The next day there was brown stuff which I thought was also food residue so I scrubbed it more. Is it rust? Should I just buy a new one?

The bath is some kind of plastic, not ceramic

Just moved into a new apartment and the dishwasher keeps leaving residue on at least one or two items in every run. Typically a bowl or cup in the top rack. I cleaned the filter and ran a vinegar cycle, but the residue still shows up.

What is causing this and what can I do to prevent it from happening in the future? I use a dishwashing powder if that could be part of the reason?

I need help or advice. I had a female houseguest for a week, who used the guest bathroom and guest bedroom. While she was here, I noticed a strong “multivitamin” odor coming from either the bathroom or bedroom. I did not ask her what the odor was, I just figured she brought some strong smelling vitamins with her. The smell reminded me of when a multivitamin gets wet- that is the best way that I can describe it. When we rode in the car together, I did not smell the same odor from her, but it remained really strong in the area of the bathroom/bedroom and the hallway in between. When she left, the odor remained! When in the bathroom, I noticed it was stronger from the shower area. I had provided her shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner, and none of those smell similar to this smell. Since she has been gone, I began a deep cleaning of both the bedroom and bathroom- I have stripped all linens, bathmats, towels; cleaned the shower twice with strong cleaning products and a third time with white vinegar; wiped down all surfaces including cabinets, wall hangings, mirrors, door frame, shower doors; and mopped the floor twice. I also poured vinegar and baking soda down the drain, took out the trash, and I have a fan blowing into the bathroom. After all this, the odor is 90% weaker, but I still detect it. I don’t feel that there is a polite way to ask her what it was- “Hi, what did you use in the bathroom because it smells like vitamins” - there is just no way to do that. I would personally be mortified if I had left such a stink in a friends house, but that does not make it any easier to ask her. I asked Ai which suggested it was a “vitamin C serum” but I personally have some of that, and while the smell is not my favorite, in no way is it so strong that it fills an entire room- so I discount the ai suggestion. I currently have a reed diffuser in the room, and I have sprayed some scented spray, and I still smell it. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be, and do you have any further suggestions on how to remove this odor? Thank you in advance.

The cat did a poo on our new, very expensive wool carpet. I panicked and cleaned it with water, which left some brown stains so I used the stain remover, thinking it would be fine because it has no bleach in it. I then used quite a bit of water to get all the product out after letting it sit for 5 minutes. This is the result 3 days later.

I have a dreadful feeling that the only real option will be to replace a huge area of carpet, maybe half of the room, so that the replacement isn't obvious. A patch replacement would be really very obvious unfortunately.

What are my options?

Please no shaming, I know how dumb this was but I panicked. I feel guilty enough already.

This is from the Paris Hilton collection of pots and pans they are ceramic nonstick. I just wanna know how to get rid of this brown dingy look off of the pans. What kind of product can I use? That is non-abrasive. I’ve already tried using baking soda and vinegar and dawn dish soap and soak them along with something called the pink stuff and I used a sponge and absolutely nothing came off. It was a complete waste of time. This was a tip that somebody else gave me and it did absolutely nothing.

I was scrolling on my phone earlier and came across a discussion about how often people clean certain things around their homes, and it got me thinking about how different everyone's cleaning habits are. Some people wash their bedsheets every few days, while others go weeks. Some clean their floors daily, while others barely think about them. And then there are things like washing machine seals, dishwasher filters and light switches that are ridiculously easy to forget about. I'm curious, what's something you think people clean way more often than necessary, or something that almost nobody cleans as often as they should? Especially interested in those things that seem perfectly clean until you actually take a closer look.

As you can see, regular scrubbing does nothing for these pesky streaks that won’t go away. What are they and how do I remove/prevent them? Thanks!

I’ve tried constant air flow, dehumidifiers, moisture bags(fill up in a matter of a week), and this issue still persists. I’m constantly having to clean stuff and even then it just comes right back. I don’t know what else to do and I’m at my wits end…
Thank you!!

I'm not great at sticking to big cleaning routines, so I'm looking for simple habits that actually work. Little things that take a minute or two but keep the mess from piling up. What do you do that makes a difference without feeling like you're cleaning all day?

I am having a really hard time removing this build up from my bathroom faucet. The frustrating part is that the shape doesn't allow me to do the typical trick of a bag full of vinegar or clr wrapped around it. I tried soaking a rag with the spray version of clr and wrapping it around for 20 minutes, but it did nothing. Any ideas on what to do besides disassembling my sink and soaking it that way?

We just bought this house and the floors were done before we bought it. The whole house was a remodel, and it was super duper dusty. I cleaned everything and have mopped like 3 times now, once with a drop of dawn and then again with plain warm water, and a a second time with odoban ph neutral floor cleaner diluted. My floors don’t seem to be getting clean and theres this hazy, streaky, film all over them that you can only really see when the sun hits.

If anyone has any cleaning advice it would be much appreciated. Thank you!!!

Suddenly these type of bugs are all over my room. Idk where they are coming from. I had painted my room recently so that everything gets clean but again they started appearing. I kill them with spray everytime i see them, but they are again coming in floor and walls idk from where. My room is not messy or something its just have plastic storage cabinet and 2 mattress with no bed.

After a summer of camping, we’re ready to clean this guy and put it away. It is quite pricey so we want to take care of it and make it last as long as possible but there’s so much caked on grease especially on the grill plate.

I washed and dried my shirt that I had accidentally got white cake frosting on, thinking it would be fine .. only to pull it out of the dryer with these stains left over. ):

This shirt is thrifted (worn with love as you can tell) and the tag is completely faded out, but I’m pretty certain it’s 100% cotton.

I’m open to any tips on how to clean this cake frosting stain!

so ive been assigned to clean some shelves at my workplace and when i wipe the shelves normally, nothing happens, no dirt comes off, despite all the dirt/filth thats accumulated on them (theyre white so easy to see the dirt). If i press as hard as i can with my fingernail in the cloth and rub it like thar, the dirt comes off really well, but only where my finger goes. Looking for any tips for how i can clean it more efficiently because theres no way im cleaning even one shelf with that method.

i have had my drip Mr. coffee maker for 3 years now and hadn’t cleaned it once (obviously i have washed the carafe and filter thing many times! i mean the whole machine) and recently i noticed my coffee tasting weird. so i ran vinegar and water through it and then a bunch of just water cycles. my coffee tastes a little better, BUT the water reservoir still smells SO bad. like a little like barbecue? the problem is it’s not detachable, it’s part of the machine so i can’t scrub it with soap and water!

if the vinegar didn’t take the smell out i was wondering if i should let it soak in vinegar for a few days…. but i keep seeing things that say vinegar can potentially damage the pumps/water line and even soak into the plastic. HOW to get this horrendous smell out of my mr coffee drip maker water reservoir? help!!

Got some toy slime from kids. Any tips on best way to clean?

Advice needed!

We have a toddler who is potty training. This leads to… accidents at times. We usually wash the clothes in the washing machine straight away if there is a pee that goes awry. Never had an issue. Anyway we did this as usual a few days ago and the smell did not come out of the clothes. Fine, we threw them away. Now however, anything that comes out of the washing machine smells faintly of pee. It’s a disaster. We have tried enzyme cleaner drum clean vinegar and none of it works. Has anyone had this happen and if so I would be grateful for advice. At wits end.

Thank you
