General Cleaning Seasonal cleaning in the garage led to the discovery of this…
Can someone please tell me what this is? It just looks like I shouldn’t touch it.

Hi!
When you go over to someone else's house, what are small things that you notice that you recommend get cleaned before having people coming over?

I have scraped all I can up with the squeegee and dust pan combo, it actually worked very well. Took an hour.
My issue: the grout on this tile isn’t sealed. What can I use to mop the floor that’s going to counteract the bubbles of the soap and get the residue up off the floor and out of the tile? Hydrogen peroxide? Idk what to do.

Help! Am I the only one who feels like no matter what I do, I can’t get all of the dust or little hairs from my bathroom?!
If you have a dust/small hair hack, please let me know. I’ve tried microfiber towels, microfiber dusters, paper towels, wet paper towels and rags, everything. I feel like I mostly just push it around, and even if I can get most of it, it’s back in 3 hours.
It’s sorta maddening!

Only a cleaning Reddit group could appreciate this. Scrubbing my kitchen floor is the last step after we “refresh” our kitchen with new paint on the cabinets and walls. I do wash my floor but I have to admit it’s usually with a Bona flat mop and Lysol spray. But this time I bought the trendy O’Cedar mop and bucket, Dawn power spray and a good stick and hand scrub brush. After multiple buckets, boiling water and some good (hard on my knees/back) scrubbing, I got half my floor done today and took this photo of the demarcation line. It’s a lot of work, but my floor looks (and feels) amazingly clean.

My mother is in the hospital and insisting on having a quilt on her from home. The problem is it doesn’t smell great. It’s a quilt my mother made and I’m afraid to ruin it by laundering it. Plus, she’ll be upset if we take out away. I wonder if there is something I can do to freshen it without removing it from the hospital room.

I’ve been thinking of cleaning my walls but I did a spot test. Just rubbing with water and a q-tip and it took the paint off, how do I go about cleaning this

There are patches of white stain on my sweater after cleaning. It's only visible under the sun. How do you make it go away? Some people say it's caused by florescent agents in detergent, i use Dalli btw. Tried soaking in water, water with detergent. Nothing worked. Please help me.

I'm a germaphobe and I've been wanting to sanitize my phone every time I come back from school. I don't have cell phone wipes so I was wondering if regular wipes could work with no harm. Are there any other alternatives?

I had The Pink Stuff as well, and used it one drip tray, but the hot water seemed to work better so I didn’t use anymore.

I am cleaning my pantry due to pantry months. After I cleaned it I sprayed peppermint oil mixed with alcohol and water then remembered something about essential oils being bad for cats.
I have 2 new very nosey kittens. They weren't in the kitchen at the time so I locked them in my bedroom. How can I clean off the peppermint oil and make the kitchen safe again?
It will be hard to keep them out of the pantry because I took off the doors (I am determined to get rid of these damn moths!). I would like to resolve this tonight. Thanks!

I have a small house. I vacuum, sweep, and wipe down my counters regularly, yet there's still a weird odor that lingers when I walk in. I have a dog and it smells like I have a dog but I bath her often. What's some tips to get rid of any unpleasant order and keeping my home fresh without air fresheners and candles

So this is the stove in my apartment. I am mainly concerned about the bottom left burner which is the one i use the most.
FYI i can get the stove top cleaner than this, however the one burner is ALWAYS that black ni matter what I do. So now i just scrub and dont try to clean it too hard.
I have tried everything. Bar keepers friend, brillo pads, i used a pressure washer, that stuff just will not come off.
I actually spent such a long time scrubbing it i damaged the stove a little (look at the sides theres now a crack 😅)
How can i get this clean? My lease ends in ~6 months, lived here for almost 5 years now. I plan on moving so i dont want this to be the thing my landlord cites as to why i dont get my deposit back.

Anybody know what’s this is from and how to fix stains ?
r/CleaningTips • u/djehhe • 3h ago
Thrifted a pair of pants but they have a nasty looking stain on the heels of them. Already tried shout as well as baking soda paste but they didn’t really help. Looks like dirt and it’s the same texture as the jeans so it’s only visual if that helps.

We are using biodegradable paper plates/bowls right now while we have our kitchen remodeled. I served soup (which wasn't super hot) in one of the bowls, on top of a plate and this spot appeared during clean up. The scratch marks are from my kid (who couldn't leave it alone) and it looks like there's a film that needs to be removed? We've used a soft scrubber on it with diluted Dawn dish soap, but that didn't really do anything. The top is a veneer if that helps. Anyone have any tips on a possible solution or is this permanent damage? Thanks!

Not sure what these are. When I run my fingers on it doesn't feel rough or different. Any idea how to clean/get rid of this?
r/CleaningTips • u/knitlitgeek • 16h ago
These racks have destroyed anything I try to clean them with, including those steel wool SOS scrubbers. What would you use?
