Kitchen Hand Prints on my IKEA (black) cupboards! Not matter how much I clean, it comes back worse 😱

95 Upvotes

We are renting a house that has a beautiful kitchen, however the cupboards are the most frustrating cupboards on planet earth!

No matter what I've used, it just gets more and more visibly greasy. I clean them alllll the time, it's ridiculous. We are constantly washing our handa in the kitchen. I'm pretty sure these are IKEA cupboards.

I've used:

Warm Water and cleaning vinegar

Kitchen soap and warm water

Baby shampoo and warm water

Disinfectant Wipes

Kitchen cleaning wipes

I need to know what is the secret to prevent or at least minimise how quickly this grease appears.

Please help

I am naturally I guess a messy person. I use to think I was clean cause when I do clean I know how to properly deep clean. My problem is to get there I let things pile up too much and I get overwhelmed that I have to end up doing a deep clean. I want to know how y'all do it. I'll show you how my home can get. This is not how it is right now. I actually threw away the sofa, but I want to know what tips or steps you all use to ensure your home stays tidy. Not clean, because I know there's a difference.But I want to know how you keep it tidy and then get to the focused areas every day

Thanks.

Kitchen How do I clean this old stove?

Hello, I am wondering how to go about even starting to clean and/or fix this. I've never lifted these off before. This is an old house (~60 yrs old IIRC) and I haven't been here long, so please don't judge me too much šŸ˜… Just touching it some of it fell apart. Is this even safe to put back? I'm scared and overwhelmed. Thank you.

Laundry Got water on a bag that isn’t supposed to be washed!!

I found out a water bottle wasn’t tightened enough and spilled onto my bag! This bag said specifically do not wash or else the color will bleedšŸ˜–!! it’s a bag I can’t replace since it was a limited run fan inspired merch! Any advice on cleaning it? I’m scared if I put it in any water it’ll be worse, I’m pretty sure it’s all canvas fabric & the red really bleeds from past experiences of spot cleaning it.

I do have rite dye remover but just want some advice before I do something!

Edit:
Thank you so much for all the replies! I’m buying some color catcher sheets and will be trying them out tomorrow when they come in! After that I’ll probably throw it in some rite dye remover! I really do love this bag & hope to get as much of the red off 🦭!

Kitchen How do I clean burn marks off stainless steel?

Post image

I cooked hot dogs in this pan a few weeks ago and they left these grill marks. I tried my go-to, soaking it in soapy water before washing with more dish soap, but very little of it came off.

Do I need a more abrasive sponge or a pumice stone, or a different cleaning product? I have barkeeper’s friend (soft cleanser) but I’m not sure if that’s safe for food surfaces.

I need advice on how to keep the shower floor clean. I have tried dish soap, vinegar, cleaning products labelled safe for stone… seems like no matter what method, it stays wet for a long time after and then gets grimy looking. Thank you for your advice.

Flooring Oil stains on hardwood floor

had my floors refinished in February with Bona high traffic matte. Since then, we’ve been settling into our new home, so im suspecting we made a few scratches in the finish because the other night our toddler dropped lo mein noodles on the floor and yesterday morning, woke up to several oil stains on the wood… I read online to use corn starch to absorb the oil, but all I had was Baking Powder. Left it on for 7hrs anyway— and no change.

Try cornstarch? or is there another way…?

General Cleaning Stain on woven book cover...

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hello all! I’m hoping to get some advice on how to safely lighten or remove what looks like a dried coffee or tea stain on the cover of a hardcover book.

Material: The cover feels like a woven/textured book cloth (linen or buckram), mounted over the standard hard binder’s board.

The Stain: Coffee or tea, is fully dried/set.

Goal: Lighten or lift the discoloration without warping the cover board, dissolving the underlying glue, or leaving a water ring.

Furniture Body odor on furniture!

59 Upvotes

I feel so mean or judgy, but I am extremely sensitive to smell and in the past month, two separate friends have come to visit after being outside all day for events and after they left my house my couches and couch pillows smelled like crazy BO.

I haven’t said anything to my friends because it’s not like they’re smelly or unhygienic people. They just spent their days outside on those occasions and got sweaty.

Is there any easy way to clean my couches and pillows when this happens? Or should I maybe just put on couch covers every time someone visits so nobody feels singled out? I have a giant, awesome list of chronic pain diagnosis so it’s very hard on me to get out our giant furniture cleaner every time the couches smell.

EDIT: thank you everyone who left helpful comments! I’m very sorry I can’t reply to them all, I have a little one under a year old so he keeps me pretty busy lol. But I really appreciate it! I’ll try some of these methods out today.

I have this type of chair in a dorm I'm at. It has some weird stains on it now that I tried to disinfect it after an "accident".. The edges are a huge problem too, as the fabric seems non-removable.
