I have a steel cooker hood. The whole thing is in the condition as shown in the picture. I tried to clean it with degreasing fluid, baking soda, water with vinegar.... I am beginning to think that this hood is not dirty just the steel is damaged. Has anyone ever had this problem?

I have a question about my siding which I’m not sure is painted or stained and would like to know recommendations for how to remove the finish.

I’m looking for tips on how to get the black/burnt stains off my stainless steel stove. No amount of scrubbing seems to get them off.

looks like no one cleaned for years, I'm trying to help them out. problem is they're mounted 7-8 feet high on walls and very dirty. please share ideas to clean them without putting lot of effort.

It's winter here and I just got my car repaired at a place that apparently allows smoking inside the enclosed shop. I got my car back and it REEKS. I do not smoke and have NEVER allowed my car to be smoked in. What do I do to get the smell out? I'm so disgusted. I'm also a person who doesn't like strong scents or cleaner smell. Thanks.

Hi, So I have this light gray Columbia jacket. I usually wash the jacket in the washer with the appropriate settings at the end of winter. But I have to wear this next week and the sleeves have already gotten dirty. How can I clean just the end of the sleeves ??

I left a magazine I got in the mail face down and it must’ve been wet. I can’t even scrape this off because it’s smooth like a tattoo. It’s practically imprinted onto the surface.

I have a 15 pound heated, weighted blanket that specifically says to not machine wash. The cord it’s connected to is also not detachable. It’s start to smell mildly unpleasant so I’m wondering if anyone has any advice on the best way to clean it?

This is older version (I think Bissell Pro Heat 2X Revolution Advanced Carpet Cleaner 1551). It’s not picking up dirty water in the bottom container. I’m trying to clean the bottom part but how do I remove the nozzle? I used almost one full container of water without noticing that it’s not picking up water.. is my carpet okay….?

I have two professional cleaners coming to my house weekly for two hours. We live in a 3 bedroom semi detached house. They usually do a good job of keeping the place clean. I also clean everyday in the kitchen and keep house tidy. The girl who we usually deal with has been out of the country but managing things by sending girls who work for her. We asked for a deep clean and agreed on an hourly rate for two girls to do the whole house. She said she couldn’t say how long it would take but I trusted her because she has been working in our house a long time.

They arrived at 9.30 and started in the kitchen. By 1.30 I had to go to the kitchen to make food for my children. I couldn’t believe how little they had done. In four hours they cleaned: The counter tops, outside of 9 cabinet doors, inside one medium sized cabinet , microwave, air fryer and cleaned inside windows of small double doors. I had to ask them to leave because i honestly don’t believe they would have even finished the house in a day.

I assumed a deep clean would maybe take twice as long roughly as our usual clean. Were my expectations unrealistic or was I scammed? I paid them for the work that they did and ended our agreement for weekly cleaning. I was so upset with the mess they made, I had to spend two hours just cleaning up the place after they left

I realise I’m very lucky to be able to afford to have a weekly cleaner to my house but with two young children and working more than full time hours it would be impossible to maintain so please don’t judge.

Hello,

Few recipes on Google but thought I'd ask here to.

I was thinking about making my home dishwashing tablet or powder for the dishwasher. Thinking this could be a lot more cost effective,. Or if I ran out and can't pop down to the shops.

Does anyone have any good instructions on how you make them?

Thank you.

I wanted to try an enzyme cleaner on my athletic clothing and towels that have kept their BO smell despite washing.

I accidentally ordered "Biokleen Bac-Out carpet stain + odor remover", I didn't look at the bottle name because the store page had a picture of clothing.

Can I still use it on my laundry? Do I just soak it for a bit before throwing it in the machine? Their marketing seems to imply you can, but the directions assume you're using it on carpet.

I purchased these pipes to clean my family’s cars. This is what I was met with.

Any recommendations for cleaning a suede couch that smells of cigarettes? I’m currently letting it air out outside and I’m replacing the cushions.

How can I clean these? Barkeeper's Friend did not work.

These are cleap dishes from Target. Any suggestions for better quality dishes that won't do this?

had to leave my uni dorm fridge open (with a towel under it) over winter break and came back to this orange stain on the linoleum floor in front of it. thought it was rust from that and tried CLR to no avail.

tried a bunch of other products over the past week just in case the fridge wasn’t the cause of it and nothing seems to work. any ideas?

We just got a toaster oven, airfrier mini oven appliance and I'm struggling to keep it clea. How do you all maintain your counter top ovens? What do you clean it with? How frequently?

This is the top of the oven showing all the dried up grease.

I’m 19 and I’ve been working in hotel housekeeping since I graduated high school. I like the work I do but the pay is not good. I work 40 hours and my paycheck is barely making it up to $500 a week.

I’ve been wanting to start cleaning houses part time for extra money but everyone tells me you need to register as a business and get insurance in order to do that.

I live in New York and from my research the cost to register a business is about $300. Then I would need business liability insurance and all the cleaning supplies.

That seems like a lot considering I don’t have any clients yet. Also, I don’t have a whole lot of experience. My biggest fear is putting in all the effort to start the business and then not being able to find any customers.

Should I do it or is it not worth it?

My cat peed on the corner of my cabinet and it completely soaked through and obviously damaged my cabinet. I need a temporarily recommendation to get rid of the smell, as I have company coming over soon. I tried to spray it with enzymes, but since it was soaked in, it was hard to wipe it off and my cabinet literally started to fall apart. It’s still wet, and I’m not sure the best method to help temporary fix this. My husband can replace the wood, but as I said, I have company and embarrass with the smell of the urine. Should I try and dry it with a fan? Please help! Thank you.

First off, no it’s not a murder 😂 Really though, I had a small emergency some months ago that left some blood on my bedroom carpet. I was wondering if I should attempt to clean or just throw out, as it’s been a daily reminder. I’m pretty sure it’s wool, an old IKEA area rug. I have to rake it often since it just soaks up cat hair. It’s also been hairballed on several times, usually Resolve helps that issue. Honestly though I wonder if it’s really clean there too. However, when I attempted cleaning up the blood via the same way it did not work.

It’s a high effort carpet anyway and if there’s no easy cleaning I might ditch it for simpler material.

Right now I’m using a swiffer with wet pads for spot mopping throughout the week, & I usually use my OCedar spin mom, hot water & Fabuloso or PineSol once a week ( or 2 if I’m being lazy ) they look pretty clean, but I can’t help but feel like I’m just rubbing dirt that I can’t see around 😭 I usually change mop heads between rooms ( kitchen, living room, dining room ) & change the water one time during. Anything I could be doing better??? Also, kitchen is tile. Not shiny smooth tile, but an earthy brown/orange matte looking tile. Everything else besides bedrooms & bathrooms are LVP

I was given a rug by my parents that’s very beautiful but it has so much dog pee on it because they don’t house train their animals. I don’t know what to put under it to clean it and would rather NOT use my towels because I only have a few right now and I’m not able to do it outside of my apartment, or let it dry out there. I feel like my only real option is to get a new rug but for some reason my parents would be deeply offended. What are my other options? :( it smells so bad when it gets wet. I kinda feel like the effort isn’t worth it and I should just get a new rug. Is this worth the effort? How can I clean it efficiently with my circumstances :,)
