Hi all,

I'm looking for advice as to (1) what could be the cause of this staining, and (2) how to fix it.

This is a just section to the total damage. Seemingly, all the areas that border the garage are stained, so we speculated it's dust making its way through the interworkings of the house. The garage is behind this wall. It's even staining upstairs to a much smaller degree.

We've concluded that it's best to replace the carpet with hardwood floors eventually, however in the meanwhile, can anyone suggest a powerful cleaning product? Can we rip the carpet up and put something under it?

We tried Scotchgard Rug and Carpet protectant and folex carpet spot remover to no avail.

Thanks to all those contributing!

Is there a specific cleaner you find most effective for this type of flooring? I can't seem to properly get it clean. It seems to dust / dirt always seems to stick to it no matter how many times I mop.

*I'm renting a room btw, this was not a personal choice. I'd like to think I have better taste in flooring lol.

Water pools here and has stained the builders grade 90s countertops. Any tips to clean this discoloration up?

I tried dabbing it with water after it happed but that only seemed to make it worse...

Title, I used a nail polisher and the letters came off pretty quickly but they expanded a bit of the white colors (same material as the logo) on the kway itself, am I cooked?

Hello all. I recently moved into a new apartment with some friends. The one stove burner came with this ring of muck around it. We’ve tried cleaning it with scrubbing bubbles and other non abrasive cleaners (no grit? Is that what that means?) and nothing has ever come off. There’s no residue when we touch it. We were wondering: is this cleanable? Because we’re staring to think it’s warped or plastic or material as a result of a previous tenant boiling something over. Any tips would be lovely, thank you!!!

I used my range's griddle yesterday to cook bulgogi. The marinade scorched and, using a scrub mommy and some Dawn PowerWash, ended up stripping the seasoning.

Before I re-season the griddle, is there a way to get rid of the black stains on the edges and top corner of the griddle? I've tried a steel wool and a brass brush in small corners but it doesn't seem to make a dent. I also tried a little barkeeper's friend gel with a paper towel and, again, the stains persist.

Any advice would be appreciated. Also, do you think it matters if these stains persist? If that's just part of life, I can try and find a way for my OCD to live with this. :)

When I was a kid my mom moved a lot of my stuffed animals into the basement for storage. Well our basement floods every time it rains and they have been down there for literal years so they are VERY moldy. Is there any chance to save them? If so how would I go about it? Or are they completely trash? A lot of them I still love dearly and I avoid the basement cause seeing them all down there makes me sad.

I don't really buy too much into the all natural (homemade) solutions as a substitute (although a post wash of white vinegar&water makes sense to me). I'm in Ireland so if any of ye have a suggestion for me!

How can I get dry erase marker out of my microfiber couch cloth?

Most do perfectly fine with regular hydroalcoholic home spray; some, though, I've found are vulnerabile to it and turn sticky as soon as I start rubbing.

Polaroids' outer layer, for example, seems to be made of a more chemically inert polymer: my dampened microfiber cloth just kept sliding smoothly.

I’ve tried pink stuff & oven cleaner but they won’t budge at all. I want my deposit back for my house so any advice would be great 😂

Hey i recently got a new laundry machine and ever since the first wash, most of my clothes dry and the smell of damp stays :( i thought it was the laundry detergent (its not bc i used a different one and it still happens) so i think it has to do with the machine itself. Is there anything i can do to try and fix this?? I haaate the smell of damp clothes!

Title please.

I have managed to destroy my favorite pants by getting bike grease on it, and putting it in the washer and later on in the dryer (at the time I didn’t know you should not do this). I’ve tried using baking soda, dishwasher liquid, all kinds of stain remover liquids and even WD40, but to no avail. Is there anything else I could try and is stronger than the already suggested things?

Left air fryer to soak for 2 weeks...

So after using the airfryer, I usually soak it for a few hours just to help clean the grease etc.

This time, someone put it away and we forgot. Fast forward 2 weeks, I've gone to use it and see it's still full of water, with some white murky film. I've cleaned it thoroughly with hot water and soap, as well as then running the air fryer itself for 10 minutes on 180c.

Is there anything else I should do to clean this? Or should it be replaced (as in the tray).

Hi y'all! I have a (pretty beat up) glass cooktop, and clean it ~weekly with the Weiman's Glass Cook Top Cleaner & Polish with a razor blade. Do you have any recommendations on how to clean/disinfect it in-between that's a little less laborious? I also get pretty anxious about whether or not the Weiman's kills bacteria. I'm thinking about just using dawn powerwash and a scrub daddy as my daily cleaner. The top was already scratched to hell and back when I bought the house, so I'm not too worried about it getting scratched up. TIA!

This is a plastic door. Right now I can see that there are several white spots on that door. How can I remove it?

I accidentally left two crayons in the dryer and now there’s melted crayon on all my nice slacks. I don’t think k there’s any way to save them, but wanted to ask just in case.

Should I replace the flooring? Or is there a way to flatten it. It only leaked into these two planks.

Hi there! We have full first floor hardwood laminate flooring which always looks filthy. It’s dark walnut colored, with lots of sunlight, and two cats. Constant crumbs, cat hair, and the occasional wet cat puke. I’m essentially looking for a wet Swiffer on steroids, something that I can run over the floors weekly and get a vacuum + wash/scrub at the same time. Does this exist? Not afraid to shell out some cash if it does the job.

So I was just gifted this hexclad for my 26th birthday and I went to season it like the instructions say and j got this big ole mark on it before I even cooked food in it. I used avocado oil. Anybody have any tips on how to get this off?
