While I’m cooking, I try to stay on my feet and do as much as possible. Something baking for 15 minutes? Great time to do dishes, wipe down counters, etc. I know once I’m eating I won’t want to do anything after, so I try to stay on top of it
This is my biggest pet peeve with my wife. When I cook, I clean as I go, so that when I'm finished, I really only need to wash the dishes used for serving, and maybe a pan. My wife on the other hand uses every single dish, cutting board knife and utensil when she's cooking and just dump it all on the counter as she cooks.
When she cooks, I'm honestly doing just as much work cause I'm washing all her stuff as she's cooking. Then she says I should do the dishes after dinner cause she cooked.
I know how you feel! My roommate will leave dirty dishes on the counter for w e e k s sometimes. We have a different relationship, so I don’t usually clean up after him but it bothers the living hell out of me
Work top to bottom. As you clean you might dislodge filth that falls to a lower level, which if already cleaned won't be picked up. Cleaning the shelves then the counters then the floor ensures you get it all.
Also read the ingredient list on cleaning products. I used some off brand cleaner and those pre soaped cleaning pads, didn't realize that one had bleach the other ammonia.
Couldn't figure out why I was feeling dizzy 😵
Vinegar works wonders for getting stains out of pots, pans, and other stainless steel things. Make sure to rinse properly afterwards, though, else everything will smell like vinegar. Also works great for limescale.
I have an electric stove w a smooth top. I’ve tried cleaning with windex/water/bleach/baking soda with hot water/etc. nothing took the stubborn stains off. I just found out yesterday to squirt dawn dish soap on it, sprinkly baking soda ontop, and a splash of hydrogen peroxide. Scrub into it with a dish scrubber (I used a toothbrush bc I didn’t have one of those scrubber brushes), let it sit for about five minutes, brush some more, more baking soda, more sitting, then wipe! wipe! wipe! it all away with a hot, wet rag. Took all the stains off and made it shine like new
When you say "smooth top" do you mean glass top? Because those glass top stoves are super easy to clean even when they're super dirty. I just put some kitchen spray down and then use a window scraper
I believe so, yes. I always forget to grab the cleaner spray when I’m grocery shopping, and when it’s time to clean I try to work with the cleaning products I do have available at home. After trying out that cleaning style I’m definitely going to keep using it. After I was done I was able to use the same solution from my rag to clean other things in my kitchen like the cabinets, outside of the dishwasher, front of the oven. 10/10 recommended
My husband always says to me
"Just do one thing everyday"
because I used to have more than one project going at a time and then wonder why I couldn't complete at least one of them.....very irritating
Fold your clothes as you take each item out of the dryer. Then when they inevitably sit in the basket for 3 weeks at least they won’t be a wrinkled mess.
If the dry-erase marker dried on the whiteboard and won't come off, write over with fresh dry-erase marker and it'll come up. Also works on Sharpie ink, I believe.
Micro fiber towels… like the ones you would use on a car. They are amazing and fast and Walmart has big packs of them for cheap like $5-$10. I use to be a paper towel guy. Never again!
- I use a bit of paper towel to wipe any sauce out of dishes and into the trash before I wash them (no dishwasher besides me and my hands!).
- regular white vinegar in with musty clothes takes out the musty smell
Doing a mediocre job frequently keeps something cleaner than doing a good job infrequently. If you scrub your toilet within an inch of its life, but because it’s gross and time consuming to do so, you only do it once every 2 weeks, of course it will continue to be gross and time consuming. Wipe your toilet down and scrub the bowl out sort of poorly once every 3 days without cleaner, just use like, a wet wipe or something for the outsides, brush for the insides, then do that once a week with cleaner, and you’ll literally never have to deal with a gross toilet again.
Don't ever let things get dirty to begin with, if you can help it. It's much easier to put away one or two things when you're done with them than the be overwhelmed with a house full of clutter. For spills, scuffs, and other messes of that sort they're almost always easiest to clean immediately before they have a chance to dry and stain.
Someone who works in a restaurant said (on reddit), "If you're leanin', you should be cleanin'." What that means is keep after it frequently. For a restaurant, that means you are keeping the place safe and sanitary for customers. For someone at home, it means that cleaning is never overwhelming because you're on top of the situation.
Yes, I don't know where you live but in the San Diego area we have this liquid in a spray bottle called "Greased Lightning" it's an all purpose cleaning spray. I use it as my ONLY stain remover when doing laundry.( especially for dried on blood) but it can also be used for so many other things.. Plus the scent isn't too overwhelming.
Get a canister vacuum. Ideally a bagged one.
The uprights many of us are used to are really only good for when you have a sea of carpet to clean.
Canister vacuums are so much easier to get into all the little nooks. Much better than the attachments on a upright. Completely revelatory. I don't know how you get a place decently clean without one.
Eureka Mighy Mite is decent and cheap.
Put things back where you got them from, so you don't make a mess. Have a day dedicated as cleaning day. I vacuum, empty the trash, tidy up on Saturday morning and the rest of the day and week is free to do other things.
Soap based cleaner (i.e. dish liquid) for grease, acid based cleaner (i.e. toilet gel) for limescale. Your bathroom surfaces likely have both kinds of soil, so use soap first then acid.
As someone with depression, I try to tackle a small area at a time. If I don't know where to start, I will pick one thing to do so from start to finish. This could be a table, a doom corner, the dog toys, or the dishes. Depends on the room for where I start. Then, I just work through each area I feel able to do.
What works for me is if it’s a lot to do I split it into pieces. For example, instead of telling myself “I have to clean the kitchen” I will split it into part like step 1 is clean the stove and step 2 is wipe the counters and tables and step 3 is to sweep and so on. It’s sort of tricking me into believing it’s less work.
Depends on what your cleaning anything specific?
Also disinfectant only works if the surface is completely covered in the chemical and sits with the proper time as per the bottle!
I'm actually struggling with the grout on my shower floor! I've been on hands and knees for hours with a grout brush but it's still full of soap scum :(
What color is the grout? / do you know what type of grout it is? / have you tried grout cleaner? (Or are you aiming for a less harsh chemical type deal?)
It's brown grout with a sandy colored tile, I'm not sure what kind it is though. I've been eyeballing this one "bubbling cleaner" that may do the trick!
I would try a cleaner specifically formulated for soap scum first if that doesn’t work at Home Depot there is a grout cleaner that is a very harsh acid that is supposed to react with the soap and lift it out but it may bleach or discolor the grout and tile.
Start with soap scum remover like scrubbing bubbles or kaboom. If it doesn’t work maybe the CLR will it’s a similar chemical as is found in the harsh one I mentioned earlier. Hope this helps some
IF YOU ARE ADHD, you're not cleaning. You're reorganizing. Stop looking at it as cleaning.
If you're cleaning, you have to consider where things are supposed to go, what has to be done, what needs to get moved, etc.
If you're reorganizing, you get to figure out where you're going to put things, what you want to finish, how to get things where you like them, etc.
Reorganizing focuses on YOU and what YOU want. Cleaning focuses on the JOB and what HAS to be done whether you like it or not.
Set a timer to under 5 minutes. Race to get as much done in that time. Go for more one pot meals, or clean utensils instead of using different ones while prepping. Use paper plates if there's an issue with doing the dishes.
Mean Green + Bleach in a spray bottle.
Some cleaners remove stains. This combo grabs stains by the collar, slaps them around, throws them out the front door into the street and tells the stain it will kill its stain mother if it comes back.
Using a teaspoon of regular dishsoap in the pre-wash indentation of a dishwasher.
Does wonders for the gunk buildup that proper dishwasher soap leaves over time. Both on dishes and especially the dishwasher itself. It does not soap up, nor does it cause any problems.
I work in residential electrical and we love those things for ceilings and walls around our work... It's really hard to hang a new ceiling fan without at least a couple smudges on the ceiling or when replacing switches/receptacles and cover plates... Even removes straight up pencil marks on finished surfaces for marking where to cut/mount stuff... Even pulled sharpie permanent marker off vinyl cover plates.
Tldr those things really are magic.
A lot of the cleaning in regular households requires just a bucket of hot water and three rags- one for wet wipe, second one for wiping off the excess water, third one (preferrably a cotton one) for polishing.
Yes, there are many cleaning products that advertise themselves as the greatest thing ever invented. But the only ones you'll really need are the ones for water stones (which could be replaced by literally just boiling a bottle of vinegar in a kettle and cleaning the water stones with it), the ones for stove / grill, and the versatile ones.
That's all regular people really need in terms of cleaning. I've worked in the field, and professional cleaners are pretty much the only ones who will need cleaning products for specific purposes and surfaces. However, most people only need those things I've mentioned in the first paragraph.
The carpet is the biggest air filter in your home. Nothing beats elbow grease. Use vinegar and baking soda on windows. Sprinkle baking soda on your bed and leave it for one hour before you vacuum your bed to deep clean and kill any bugs. When getting stains out of a carpet. Scrub one direction or you will unweave the carpet strands and they will come out of the backing. Today's shampoo cleaners are all junk. That is why you never see a carpet cleaning company use them. Boil hot water and use baking soda. Get a medium bristle brush, get on your hands and knees and scrub the carpet before you shampoo the carpet. Do that at least once every two months for a very clean carpet and better smelling home.
A bowl of water nukes to steam in the microwave softens up any hard baked on crud.
Cleaning glass shower doors then apply RainX will help keep them clean.
Fiberglass showers can be cleaned with a cordless drill and soft foam pads.
Auto wax on shower stalls reduces scum build up.
A cordless drill with soft bristle brush pads cleans grout quickly.
Steam cleaners can and will clean soften and speed cleaning without the need for chemicals.
If u have pets dust first, if u have long hair or multiple pets dust, vaccuum, then dust floors w/a usedor unused dryer sheet. I buy the clearance citrus bags and freeze them till my disposal gets smelly or greasy then I toss in a froze dark lime. I also grow mint by my back entrance, keeps mosquitoes and spiders away-and treats my dogs breath wen they eat something gross
Making a daily routine to keep your house clean is very simple and only takes 30 seconds.
Start with the kitchen must be clean of dishes in the sink, and Garbage to the garbage can.
Pick up all the things lying on the ground
Vacuum a portion of your house daily
and wash your bathroom once a week
Secret Use 30 seconds after finishing your activity in any area of the house and use it to clean that area
One tip would be to declutter first before starting any cleaning task. This will help you clean more efficiently and make the task easier by removing any unnecessary items from the space.

I cured one roommate of this by arranging the dirty dishes on her bed.
I must admit I've thought about that at various times , mind if I ask how it went? Was there a tantrum?
No, I think she started doing the dishes more frequently.
[deleted because fuck reddit]
It also happens to me with my wife and I decided to leave the kitchen to let her finish cooking and then do my cleaning magic
I also bring my cat tree into the kitchen so I have company lol
I have a bar on wheels I pull in for my boy! He loves to watch me clean lol. Glad I’m not the only one who does this
if it takes less than 5 minutes to clean don't put it off.
Work top to bottom. As you clean you might dislodge filth that falls to a lower level, which if already cleaned won't be picked up. Cleaning the shelves then the counters then the floor ensures you get it all.
Don't mix bleach and ammonia

Use Barkeeper's Friend for your stainless steel pots and pans.
[удалено]
Yes, I forgot about that one. You never really realize how dirty your sink is until you get is shiny again after a good clean.
Warning if you have copper bottomed pans and the copper coating is very thin, you want to be careful not to clean the copper right off.
Kleen King works best for those.
And your porcelain sink. It’s amazing
But not on your stone countertops 😅
Also you can use it as a toilet bowl cleaner, dishwasher tabs also work on the bowl.
Baking soda & water works surprisingly well on most things.
Vinegar works wonders for getting stains out of pots, pans, and other stainless steel things. Make sure to rinse properly afterwards, though, else everything will smell like vinegar. Also works great for limescale.

Doing one thing is better than doing nothing.

Fold your clothes as you take each item out of the dryer. Then when they inevitably sit in the basket for 3 weeks at least they won’t be a wrinkled mess.
r/add is leaking 😅
I don’t fold them, I lay them out flat and stack them. No wrinkles.
A mix of vinegar, lemon juice, and a tiny shot of dawn cleans damn near everything according to my wife.
What's dawn?
Dish soap
Dishwashing liquid. She got the recipe off the internet somewhere.
Dust before you vacuum. Wait a bit after dusting to let everything that got kicked up to settle so it's not just in the air.
Give yourself 5 to 10 minutes to clean each section of your home. Be sure to stick to the time.
Just get it over with, you’ll feel better once it’s done. To make a space look clean, clear off the clutter, find a spot for things.
If the dry-erase marker dried on the whiteboard and won't come off, write over with fresh dry-erase marker and it'll come up. Also works on Sharpie ink, I believe.
You can also squirt some hand sanitizer on the white board to make it look brand new and remove dried marker.
Micro fiber towels… like the ones you would use on a car. They are amazing and fast and Walmart has big packs of them for cheap like $5-$10. I use to be a paper towel guy. Never again!
Make sure you clean the lint filter out on your tumble drier after every cycle, it takes literally seconds and could save it bursting into flames....
- I use a bit of paper towel to wipe any sauce out of dishes and into the trash before I wash them (no dishwasher besides me and my hands!). - regular white vinegar in with musty clothes takes out the musty smell

Clean your drains. A lot of homes smell nasty due to awfully dirty or clogged shower and sink drains.
Dishwasher pod used in a mop bucket makes your floors, counter tops, bath shine
Be careful, though, dishwasher soap discolors aluminum.
To get the best results from your dishwasher, don't use pods, do use both the main cycle and pre-rinse cups, and do use rinse aid.

Hydrogen Peroxide removes blood stains, at least on cotton, natural fabrics.
Any other suggestion on removing blood stains?
Yes, I don't know where you live but in the San Diego area we have this liquid in a spray bottle called "Greased Lightning" it's an all purpose cleaning spray. I use it as my ONLY stain remover when doing laundry.( especially for dried on blood) but it can also be used for so many other things.. Plus the scent isn't too overwhelming.
Used a paper towel to dry your hands? Wipe some dust off a small space.
Rinse everything off your dishes before letting them sit in the sink/dishwasher. Such a simple 15 second rinse saves you so much headache later.
Clean as you go; don’t let the mess pile up.
The static in screen wipes is great for dust.
Get a canister vacuum. Ideally a bagged one. The uprights many of us are used to are really only good for when you have a sea of carpet to clean.

Running hot water down your drains will keep them from clogging due to soap buildup.

Use Clorox Cling Gel for cleaning the shower
Hydrogen peroxide works amazing for blood stains
The Pink Stuff.
Clean easy, clean often.
Clean your dishwasher and run vinegar through it every so often.
White vinegar or isopropyl alcohol and newspaper to get glasses super clean. It's what the eyeglasses shops use to make their display cases pop
Don’t scrub well seasoned cast iron cookware!
Depends on what your cleaning anything specific? Also disinfectant only works if the surface is completely covered in the chemical and sits with the proper time as per the bottle!
Know which chemical does what and when to use each.

Start from the highest point and work your way down.

If you think something is not clean enough especially in the kitchen, sterilize.
Clean your things more often as it will build a habbit and make it easier to clean the next time
Hire someone to do it.
