Keeping a clean and tidy home is something very important to me, and there are many benefits associated with doing so. I find most importantly that it's very good for psychological well-being. A clean living space + the effort that goes into it is a good way to feel "on top of" things, and, of course, it's aesthetically pleasing and healthy. I also find that cleaning has a way of teaching you to appreciate what you have. When I look around my apartment and see how nice and orderly it looks, I get a feeling of pride and happiness that I wouldn't otherwise get. There are hardly any downsides to cleaning. However, for a good part of my adult life, cleaning wasn't a huge priority for me. I'd wait until things got pretty gross and then have to put in a ton of effort getting them clean again, and I hated the process and wondered if it was even worth the effort. It seemed dauntingly hard. But as I got older, having a clean home became more important, and eventually, non-negotiable. In this process of becoming a "clean person," I've picked up a lot of skills/knowledge that make the task pretty drat easy (and even fun sometimes). I figured there are a lot of goons who have also spent a lot of time cleaning and learning about how best to do it, so I'm making this thread for us to share that knowledge. Keeping a clean and tidy home you can be proud of is something anyone can do with the right skillset and a modest amount of motivation. To kick things off, I've written about a few topics of interest to me. Schedule It's important to have a schedule to keep you on track, and really it makes the whole process much, much easier. I'll post my own. I live in a relatively small 1-bedroom apartment (~ 700sf), so your milage will obviously vary depending on the size/composition of your home and what you have time for. But in general, I find it's best to do a little bit of cleaning every day. I spend ~15 minutes in the mornings doing the following things: Step 1: Tidy: Make the bed, pick up any clothes and hang them/put them in the hamper, empty the dishwasher, "fix up" couch (tidy pillows/throws, push in cushions, etc.). Basically, just de-clutter, because it looks nice and you can't clean a surface when there's junk all over it. Step 2: Sloppily dust. I spend about 5 minutes walking around with a microfiber feather duster just going over everything - but importantly - I do this quickly and sloppily. The idea is that it's quick and easy to hit, say, 60% of your total dust-able surface area, and since you're doing this every day, you're likely to get most of that remaining 40% the next day. And if not then, almost assuredly the day after. Regular dusting makes a huge impact on how clean you home looks and feels. Plus, if you put it off too long, it can be a major chore. Step 3: Sloppily vacuum. Given the logic from step 2 above, I spend about 5 minutes doing a sloppy job vacuuming the entire apartment. Now, doing this every day, I find that my apartment is pretty much always very clean. This means that when the weekend comes around, there's actually very little work to do and I can usually get it all done in a couple hours (surfaces, bathroom, mopping floors, etc.). Of course, the day-to-day also includes cleaning up after cooking, spot-cleaning occasional messes, etc. Beyond this, there are various "projects" that still need to be done less frequently (e.g., vacuuming the couch, cleaning curtains, etc.), but here I don't have a strict schedule. Generally it's obvious when these things are dirty and it's just a matter of noticing and making time to clean them. Laminate floors My apartment is mostly laminate flooring, so I have some experience here. Laminate flooring is a cheaper alternative to actual wood floors that can sometimes look just as nice. However, they are deceptively hard to clean. Most cheap to mid-grade laminates come out of the factory with a chemical coating that gives them their lustrous, shiny look, but you can gently caress it up *very* easily. I learned this the hard way when I attempted to spot clean with Windex - it ended up eating right through the coating and created an ugly dull spot on the floor. Most laminate floors I see in people's houses/apartments always have this gross hazy look to them. This "haze" is actually residue from cleaning products that you should not be using on laminate. The solution is simple - you need to use a product specifically designed for it (tbh Bona and Black Diamond are the only two that come to mind; I prefer Black Diamond because it smells nice). Using the correct product is of paramount importance when keeping laminate clean - please do not follow the advice of those websites that tell you to make some sort of white vinegar concoction. Use a microfiber mop and spray the product directly onto the mop (not the floor itself) and use light passes. Also, it's fine to vacuum laminate, but try not to use an attachment with a beater brush since, again, that coating that makes them look pretty is very prone to stripping. Now, obviously, spraying something onto a mop and gently passing it over the floor isn't doing any sort of deep cleaning, which is why I'd recommend it be done at least weekly. Given how temperamental laminate can be, frequency is key. Waiting until the floors need to be scrubbed will likely ruin them, and while restoration can be done fairly cheaply on your own, it's a lot of work. If anyone has found that their floors are hosed to the point of actually needing restoration, I can provide some advice on that as well since I've had to do it before. Tile floors Fortunately, tile flooring is much more forgiving than laminate - you can throw pretty much whatever products you want at them. However, for really getting tile clean, I'd recommend cleaning expert/author Jolie Kerr's "handsies and kneesies" method, which means, well, scrubbing the floor on your hands and knees. Jolie gave it a cute name to make it not seem as bad as it sounds - your floors will be beautiful, and it's not as labor-intensive as you might think. Plus, it really only needs to be done about quarterly; lighter upkeep can be done in between. Mix a cup of oxygenated bleach with two gallons of water and straight-up pour it on the floor (within reason, I mean - don't go crazy flooding your place). Let it sit for 10-15 minutes while the bleach does most of the work for you. Then, use a scrubber to go as hard as you need to, which is probably not very hard if you let the solution sit long enough. Wipe up the scrubbed area with a towel and continue to work inwards until the room is all scrubbed and dried. I find that after this there tends to be a haze left over from oxygenated bleach residue, so I use a spray bottle to mist water over the floors and go over with a microfiber mop for a final "shine." Another benefit is that this does wonders for grout - it might take a few goes, but you'll notice a definite improvement. As mentioned, you don't need to do this every week, or even every month. In between handsies and kneesies scrubs I like to make a simple solution of water + all-purpose cleaner (Mrs. Meyer's, etc.), mist it on the floor and mop up. If it's sticky afterwards, mist water on the floor and go over again. Other things Please post ITT about your tips on products, methods, schedules, whatever for cleaning things. All cleaning/tidying topics are fair game - laundry, stain removal, bed-making, how often to replace a shower curtain liner, making towels fluffy, wine spill on the couch, dog poop, human poop, poop, bathrooms, etc.

For sanitation protocol in animal shelters, I refer people to the UC Davis documents: https://www.sheltermedicine.com/library/resources/?utf8=✓&search%5Bslug%5D=sanitation-in-animal-shelters It's not too heavy a document and will help you understand the need for both cleaning and disinfecting, and how disinfection is ineffective without removing organic compounds, basic transmission vectors, etc.

My biggest issue is always classifying things that are random trinkets and baubles and where to store them. I usually reserve a drawer for them but it gets real messy. I cleaned up 2 years worth of these and it wasnt too long or arduous, but it was still like an hour of just deciding which things go with which. Anyway, this brings me to cleaning feels, and i like them.

Magic Erasers are a godsend. They will get virtually anything off painted walls, Formica, hardwood, and virtually any nonporous/barely porous surfaces. If you're using it on a colored surface, be gentle, and try it in an unseen corner first for colorfastness, but for the most part I've never had them remove paint unless I really scrubbed the poo poo out of it. I've gotten blood, coffee, cat pee, etc. off of walls and poo poo with just a Magic Eraser and water. Keep paper towels handy for the excess water in them, and also because they kind of degrade into little bits as they get used, so you'll want to wipe off the area afterwards. They're also fantastic for cleaning bathrooms - they'll get mildew and rust stains off porcelain real nice. Spray a little bleach on one and you can get the whole bathroom spotless with one of them. I know some people will tell you you can order the material they're made from in bulk for dirt cheap (it's some sort of foam polymer or something), but honestly they're like $1.75 for a 4-pack of the brand name ones, and they're incredibly easy to cut with a knife/scissors, so you can just cut off little blocks for spot-cleaning as needed.

Also, probably the most dead simple, but incredibly effective lesson I learned on the road to being a Real Adult is the more often you do a repeating chore like cleaning, the faster it goes each time. OP touched on it, but dishes, vacuuming, dusting, etc.: you can either spend an hour+ a week on X, or a few minutes a day on it.

They're my go-to for weekly scrubs of the tub/shower tile. I like how you can have an intuitive idea of how clean a surface is by how much resistance the Magic Eraser is giving you. It's very satisfying to feel that opposing force dissipate as you clean the hell out of a thing. Outside of the bathroom, I'll find a particular task for the ME, but once I'm done there's still a lot left of it so I'll go on an "expedition," finding other things I can use it on. I never fail in these quests. Walls, light switch covers, door knobs - there's always something and the ME makes quick work of it.

It's better to spend ten minutes cleaning the bathroom and nothing else than to spend zero minutes cleaning any of your rooms. Got stuff to sort through and declutter? Going through one drawer/closet is better than zero drawers/closets. That sort of thing.

Ok I've got a tip that works like MAGIC. If you get ink - ballpoint pen, PERMANENT marker, some felt pens, etc. on fabric or upholstery liberally douse the area with rubbing alcohol and immediately gently blot or " catch" the runoff/liquid in a rag. The alcohol will lift the ink up and put it in suspension so you can whisk it away. I have personally done this many times, it works. Rubbing alcohol will usually not leave a mark and ink always does. This trick will also work on countertops etc. If its ink, go for the rubbing alcohol. Spilled jelly, jam, or syrup stains---pour super hot water from a height onto it then blot. Works well. Feces or vomit (acid) liberally douse [think FLOOD] with club soda and blot. It will pull it up. Overall you can get carpet wetter than you think. If you don't have club soda go get some. Half an hour wait is going to do a lot less harm than using the wrong product.

The "clean often clean quick" thing comes in handy with random poo poo, too - I'm a huge pothead but all of our glass is squeaky-clean, because I spend like 10 minutes once a week running everything through some iso alcohol and hot water in the kitchens sink. Anybody have any tips on getting old stains out of that lovely nylon Berber carpet? Our whole place has got it, and there's a few old food and cat vomit discolorations I'd love to get cleared up. e: we rent otherwise I'd have pulled that ugly-rear end crap up and put in hardwood or something years ago.

Have you tried anything beyond just basic vacuuming? Sprinkling something like this on first? A steam clean might get it up (professional or a grocery store rental thing). If not, I'll leave it up to others since I don't have much experience with carpet.

I suck at keeping poo poo uncluttered. I try to have a place for everything but inevitably something without a place will need to be put somewhere and I just stash it in a drawer to try and keep my desktop or dresser clean, then I end up with cluttered up drawers and it sucks. How can I be the kind of person who has a place in my drawers for all of my poo poo? How do y'all organize drawers in your home offices/computer rooms/gaming lounges? That's one thing I need to fix to keep my poo poo tidy.

For extremely small papers like bookmarks, stickers, cards, and such, find an envelope and stuff it there. Then come the objects. If you keep your papers in order, these should be easy to isolate. Put them on a corner, or find a small screw lid container. My biggest problem is that i keep a lot of worthless papers around as mementos of times I went to shows, went out with friends, or whatever.

I'm about to have a week and a half off from work while I transition to a new job, and I want to dedicate some of that time to some hardcore cleaning that I've been putting off for a while. We have nice tile floors, but the grout is unsealed and is super dirty. Years of accumulated dirt has stained most of it a dirty tannish-brown, but then the part that the previous owner of the house had under a rug is a lot lighter. I bought some kneepads, and we have a big tub of Oxyclean powder. I figured I'd use that and some nylon grout brushes to clean the everloving hell out of it, but even then I'm not 100% sure that'll fully restore it. Beyond that, what can I do to get it and keep it light? I'm reading about staining, sealing, etc, and I'm not sure what the best route is or what products to use.

As far as cleaning goes, oxygenated bleach can in theory work, but I haven't had much luck getting it to work consistently. My quarterly tile floor cleaning routine is to mix a cup of OB with 2 gallons of water and let it sit on the floors for a while. It's had a general improvement on the grout - in some places, it made it sparkling white, but in others, it's still not great-looking. I attribute this to the floors not being perfectly level, so the OB-mixed water tends to pool in some places but not others, thus leading to inconsistent results. I've tried to combat this issue by making a thicker paste with the OB and letting it sit on the grout but the results have been underwhelming - it doesn't seem to really penetrate unless the solution is more watery. That being said, this has been sitting in my Amazon cart for a while, and it seems like many have been getting good results (though some inexplicably not). I trust the brand since they make the laminate floor cleaner I love. Actually, I think I'll just get it and give it a shot this weekend. I'll report back.

The best way to fight tough tub stains is to soak a paper towel in the solvent of your choice and slap it down on the problem area. I had this crazy thing a few months ago where my freshly-scrubbed tub bloomed with mildew everywhere overnight, but I covered the whole thing in paper towels soaked in a paste of Comet and water and left it like that overnight, and in the morning all I had to do was rinse it all off. I had a squeaky white tub underneath with zero scrubbing.

The OP talked to cleaning laminate flooring, but what about hardwood? I'm not sure what was put in our house as it was done prior to our ownership. We are good about sweeping and keeping crud off of it, but after 4 years, I have yet to actually clean it. I always see things like Bona, rejuvenate, or others talking about a damp microfiber cloth with dish soap. But once I go down the rabbit hole of reading about cleaning hardwood, my head is spinning with all of the mixed opinions all of which contradict one another. I don't mind putting in some elbow grease, I'm just not sure what product or the best way to apply it.

I moved into a tiny studio apartment (less than 400sqft) in Silver Lake that I think has a lot of potential. Its a single story with an attic / loft that spans the length of the unit. There are two skylights up there and its unfinished. Ill post photos later. There doesnt appear to be any leaks or pest problems. Well I found a tiny silverfish in my cardboard storage but that was it. The main issue is a thick layer of dust covering every surface. So Im wondering how to clean up a lot of dust and make it clean enough to start finishing part of the attic. Ill probably use a tapestry or something to cordon off the storage area and put down cheap carpeting and some loungey floor seating with a movie/gaming area that would be suitable for napping and stuff.

What are this thread's opinions on air purifiers? I've been thinking about getting one, but I don't know how actually necessary they are. My apartment only has windows on one side, and in winter we don't open the windows because I live in a state with hard winters. As a result, I'm worried about air quality and keeping the air feeling fresh.

Keeping your place clean will do way more to keep the air feeling fresh than a purifier will. And as long as there's not stuff rotting or paints/plastics/etc offgassing inside, air quality should be roughly the same inside and out. If you're really worried about it, get some plants. Many plants supposedly purify the air, even super easy-to-care-for ones like the snake plant. (Disclaimer: Neither me nor anyone I know uses an air purifier, and all our places have been fine through the winter. I'm skeptical that air purifiers do anything more substantial than separate people from their money in most cases.)

I just got rid of a Winix HEPA purifier, I ran it consistently for 6 months and I don't think it did anything except for remove some dust particles from the air. I agree that cleaning well, having a good vacuum, and regularly changing your HVAC filter will probably be good.

Ive just moved from right next to a major motorway to out in the middle of buttfuck nowhere with spider poop constantly appearing on everything, so Im an expert in dusting, I was visibly excited when I realised this house had a whole range of micro fibre cloths and dusters despite not having been dusted in a decade. The main bummer is that everything except the toilet goes to water the garden so basically Ive had to go green with my cleaning, but the upside is you save lots of money when you pretty much use vinegar and lemon to clean everything. I probably should have done this years ago but I love the smell of bleach for some reason

Vinegar smells like salt and vinegar chips. The "smell of bleach" is actually from chloramine that forms when bleach combines with organic compounds and is an irritant that can affect your eyes and breathing

I never had much luck cleaning with just vinegar. I am tiny and have dainty arms and not enough elbow grease to do much damage. -- I cleaned my car this weekend. It was extremely satisfying, since Ive never done it so intensely before (except for the time I accidentally infested my car with spiders). I purchased a small cordless vacuum on a lunch break to be able to suck away remnants of hair and dirt and crumbs for the floor and folds of the car seats. I wiped down the dashboard and surfaces with Lysol wipes. I filled a grocery bag of garbage and a cloth bag of items to bring up to the apartment. I need to do this more regularly. How often does the average person clean their car? Any neat details to car cleaning that should not be overlooked?

Vinegar is insanely overhyped as some sort of miracle cleaning product. It does a moderate job disinfecting (though not enough to be classified as a disinfectant by the CDC), but for most tasks it's no different than just spraying water on something. And for the few things its acidic nature makes it better than water for (e.g., soap scum in the shower), it's still not great and there are other products that will do a much better job. I don't use vinegar at all. For car cleaning, my absolute favorite product is nextzett Cockpit Premium for interior surfaces. It can be used on everything, and doesn't leave streaks or any sort of slippery residue like Armor All tends to. And it has a nice, mild scent. This and a microfiber cloth are all I use for my car's interior, which I do once every couple of weeks or so when the dust gets noticeable. I would be leery of Lysol wipes or anything not designed for a car interior on plastics because you don't want something that will accelerate UV damage/discoloration.

Big City Drinkin posted:I would be leery of Lysol wipes or anything not designed for a car interior on plastics because you don't want something that will accelerate UV damage/discoloration. Yikes! I didn't even think about that. My dad would always just wipe the car dust off with his bare hand every once in a while, so cleaning common sense doesn't come naturally. Bookmarked. Once warmer weather rolls back around, my car will be cared for the way that it deserves. Thank you!
