I haven't seen one of these threads in a long time. Hopefully the "new" GBS puts aside the usual thread-slamming to participate so that it can be informative and useful for everyone.

I'm cleaning my apartment to get as much of my (huge) deposit back as possible. I'm a firm believer in Tuff Stuff, however that's more for spot cleaning. I got this wild idea to tape two large brushes to my shoes to clean the area under my desk (which I'm assuming will be slightly darker than the rest of the carpet because of the blood in my cum)

What do you think? Anybody have any other pro tips?

don't bother cause they're just gonna take some deposit money and get some company to come wash it

that's how it works here anyway, you can pay for it yourself and they'll usually do it anyway sometimes with the same company :lol:

my fear yes

however it's seriously pristine other than under my desk, and I'm just making an assumption that it will be darker than the rest once I move it based on Life Experience

they helpfully provided a large checklist of things they will check for and the charge for each thing if it's not clean so that I can avoid most of it. plus they do the walkthrough before I actually leave, with me

there is one small black mark on one wall and four holes for a wall mounted tv and that's it son



the area around where my bed was is a little dirty but a little Tuff Stuff will get that right out im sure

They will need to replace thatncarpet and the padding underneath because you are a disgusting gently caress. You do not deserve your security deposit. Just try and leave with some dignity intact.

Most carpet stains can be really easily cleaned up with vinegar and baking soda. Pour vinegar on stain, then dump baking soda, then pour a bit more vinegar and wait a minute or two, then scrub it up and it should be pretty great. I just had a friend spill red wine on my carpet the other day got it out in a couple minutes with that.

You can actually use vinegar and baking soda for a lot of cleaning, or lemon juice or other kinds of dilute acids and bases, cleaning solutions are often pretty big ripoffs for what you get outside of ones with very specific tasks like laundry or dish soap.

Rent a lovely carpet cleaner from Walwart for like 20 bucks. Vacuum the carpet like 10 times before you use the carpet cleaner. That, or just cover yourself in gasoline and light yourself on fire. It already appears you probably sweat out soot and coal onto the carpet, roll in it, and pray to your volcano gods.

Seek help from a witch doctor.
