Company's Coming
Hello hello and welcome to this week’s six-sentence story based on the word LEVEL. I know this one is a little late, but I had company this weekend, and while the below did not happen to me, I will say it felt like Minerva was doing a bang-up job helping me get ready for the visit. I also had to finish up my April challenge, and I wrote 50K of fanfiction, for my 65K worth of commitments, a while…

I never saw someone using equipment like this for #window #cleaning from the outside - but if it's effective, why not... #Technologiepark #Dortmund 12.8.15 #latergram (en Technologiepark Dortmund)
What's the stupidest neurodivergent cleaning hack that works for you?
For us we actually put clothes in the hamper as long as we have a separate little hamper for underwear
Apparently the act of seperating out the pants means both hampers get used correctly
I am both very glad this works and fucking furious about how stupid it is
From @ domesticblisters I *adore* her cleaning content it's so friendly for cleaning trauma
Look at him :D
He has his favourite blanki on
Mom, you messed up my mane >:(((((((((((

Life Tip #36
don’t waste your time trying to create weird concoctions to get old stains out of your carpet when you can just replace the entire floor! seriously, why would you bother spending $5 on dish soap and water when you can spend $5000 to get rid of it? brilliant. fucking brilliant.
my familly does not listen so I will yell out here.
taking the large food remains off the plate and putting it away, still means the dish is not clean
rinsing is not cleaning
there only being "a couple" food specks on the dish, does not make the dish clean.
food debris on a plate means it is not clean
if you don't use soap, you are not cleaning!
I am going to need this wisdom!
Gather ‘round kids: I had a coworker mention to me this morning that it’s impossible to get grease stains out of fabric. As a former chemistry minor who worked two years under the table doing housekeeping and who generally tends to be a fucking disaster, I am here to tell everyone that it absolutely is not impossible, in case this is a widespread belief. Here are a few of my favorite cleaning stain removers that I always have at home.
Here are some options:
A Tide™ pen.
I’m a generic kinda lady. I hate promoting brands 99% of the time. BUT if you catch absolutely any kind of stain before it gets ground in, you can get most of it out with one of these babies. I’ve tested it on blood, chocolate, coffee, guacamole, pizza sauce, red wine on, on that one time i accidentally slopped some oil I was supposed to be using on antiques onto a fancy rug (also an antique but not the one I was gunning for). If you’re washing something delicate, pump it onto your finger a couple of times and gently rub it in. I’m not sure what they put in these things but I’m pretty sure it’s an arcane secret.
Dish soap
Granted, this is a little trickier for upholstery/carpet, but it can still be done using a rag, some water, and some patience. But for clothing, just pour some soap on the stain and rub it in under cold running water.
Absolutely any clear alcohol is your new best friend
You know the old “white wine to clean red” trick? Well, this is its updated sister I like to call “you, too, can use coconut rum to get red jello shot out of your nice white dress”. It’s a nice party trick. Straight vodka works even better. For every day situations involving any kind of alcohol-related spills (including markers)–and especially work situations–rubbing alcohol is ideal. To quote another adage, this one from every chemistry teacher you will ever meet, “like dissolves like.”
Hydrogen Peroxide
It can get blood out of absolutely anything, including your mattress. It reacts with the iron in hemoglobin, which breaks down the molecule, causing it to lose its red color. So make sure you’re not using a cast iron skillet to wash your period underwear in.
Vinegar
This will dissolve lime buildup overnight. Fill a bag, tie it around your showerhead, and presto. You can also use it to scrub the area around your sink and to break up any buildup in pipes. (Limeaway™ is for rich people.)
Baking soda
This is great if you have a pet or child who peed on the carpet. Just cover the area, wait until it dries, and vacuum it up. The longer you leave it, the better it will do at removing the smell. It’s also good removing mild odors from a small space, like a fridge or a laundry hamper.
Charcoal
This is your heavy duty odor killer. A little goes a long way. In chemistry, activated charcoal is used as a purifier in reactions, and in medicine, it can be used to treat mild poisoning/overdoses. In your car that smells like someone died because you forgot you had potatoes in the trunk for six months? All you need are regular old charcoal briquettes. Stick a couple handfuls in a flat box and the smell will be gone overnight. Guaranteed. For larger areas, just use more charcoal.
My brain has been jumping around all day, making it very hard to focus on reading
I think this is someone telling me to get off my ass and do what I'm supposed to be doing (chores and writing) but I love reading other people's work so much that I don't ever wanna stop
Teach_or_Trav Productivity Hack #1: Procrasticleaning- Verb- To clean your creative space in preparation for the work you will eventually do. Usually done while procrastinating on doing what you should be doing.
The art of cleaning is shit.
However.
The serenity of taking your mind away from everything an just focusing on one thing is calming.
Playing your own music to give yourself your own kind of white noise is assuring and distracting.
And finally
The last
But not
Least
The aftermath of a clean room, or surface of anything is a rewardment of focusing and work, it's your own reward that you gave yourself but you also worked for it yourself, plus clean things are nice and the aftermath are satisfying.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk that totally isn't here to justify my cheap job as a table cleaner at some cheaper restaurant 😀
Cleaning my room feels so overwhelming at the start until I find something small that’ll make it less stressful— so far I’m not sure what that is yet.
Like I feel like I can’t think to figure out what I’m doing, I just feel like a windows loading screen
Look what I can do!
Does anyone have some cleaning tips for G1 Monster High dolls? I really don't want to damage their paint job & hair
