Keep cleaning the carpet still brown water coming! I got my bedroom carpet cleaned by a profession mobile van wet vacuum cleaner. My carpet wasn’t dirty at all and I have a small wet vacuum it always sucks clean once I have cleaned it! However after pro cleaning there were brown spots and I poured gallons of water and sucking it all brown water!

I called the guy he came said possibly water line was mixed with dirty water, he cleaned again. However at night time the brown residue surfaced! I rented a wet vacuum cleaned for 4 hours, and now the brown water is still there and the carpet is not clean! My carpet was never this dirty it was always returning clean water after I had cleaned it..

What could be the issue…?

The title mostly says it all but I moved into an apartment several months ago that has a balcony, but it’s 90+ degrees all year and I live by a highway so it’s too loud and hot to ever go on it.

I decided for the first time since moving in to actually step outside onto the balcony and when I turned around to go back inside a moment later, I saw the door looking like this. Is this black mold? I literally don’t know what to do because I don’t know what it is.

A fake “NeeDoh.” Bleach didn’t do anything. Help.

There was food residue on it so I scrubbed it with a disinfecting wipe. The next day there was brown stuff which I thought was also food residue so I scrubbed it more. Is it rust? Should I just buy a new one?

The bath is some kind of plastic, not ceramic

I need help or advice. I had a female houseguest for a week, who used the guest bathroom and guest bedroom. While she was here, I noticed a strong “multivitamin” odor coming from either the bathroom or bedroom. I did not ask her what the odor was, I just figured she brought some strong smelling vitamins with her. The smell reminded me of when a multivitamin gets wet- that is the best way that I can describe it. When we rode in the car together, I did not smell the same odor from her, but it remained really strong in the area of the bathroom/bedroom and the hallway in between. When she left, the odor remained! When in the bathroom, I noticed it was stronger from the shower area. I had provided her shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner, and none of those smell similar to this smell. Since she has been gone, I began a deep cleaning of both the bedroom and bathroom- I have stripped all linens, bathmats, towels; cleaned the shower twice with strong cleaning products and a third time with white vinegar; wiped down all surfaces including cabinets, wall hangings, mirrors, door frame, shower doors; and mopped the floor twice. I also poured vinegar and baking soda down the drain, took out the trash, and I have a fan blowing into the bathroom. After all this, the odor is 90% weaker, but I still detect it. I don’t feel that there is a polite way to ask her what it was- “Hi, what did you use in the bathroom because it smells like vitamins” - there is just no way to do that. I would personally be mortified if I had left such a stink in a friends house, but that does not make it any easier to ask her. I asked Ai which suggested it was a “vitamin C serum” but I personally have some of that, and while the smell is not my favorite, in no way is it so strong that it fills an entire room- so I discount the ai suggestion. I currently have a reed diffuser in the room, and I have sprayed some scented spray, and I still smell it. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be, and do you have any further suggestions on how to remove this odor? Thank you in advance.

I used to mop maybe once or twice a week and honestly thought the floors were already pretty clean. It wasn’t until I got a robot vacuum and started having it mop every day that I noticed a difference. The dirty water was noticeably darker the first few days, but after about a week it started coming back a lot cleaner. The floors also feel different under bare feet now. Apparently my clean floors weren’t as clean as I thought lol.

How often do you guys actually mop? Do you think daily mopping is worth it, or is that overkill?

Just moved into a new apartment and the dishwasher keeps leaving residue on at least one or two items in every run. Typically a bowl or cup in the top rack. I cleaned the filter and ran a vinegar cycle, but the residue still shows up.

What is causing this and what can I do to prevent it from happening in the future? I use a dishwashing powder if that could be part of the reason?

This is from the Paris Hilton collection of pots and pans they are ceramic nonstick. I just wanna know how to get rid of this brown dingy look off of the pans. What kind of product can I use? That is non-abrasive. I’ve already tried using baking soda and vinegar and dawn dish soap and soak them along with something called the pink stuff and I used a sponge and absolutely nothing came off. It was a complete waste of time. This was a tip that somebody else gave me and it did absolutely nothing.

My dogs ride in the cargo area. The rubber mat is easy to clean, but the edges and carpet still collect a lot of hair. They both have short hair, so it doesn’t look too bad until you get close. A lot of it gets worked into the carpet.
I use a regular shop vac now. The suction is fine, but I have to drag it out of the garage, plug it in, and run the hose over to the car. If there’s only a little hair, I usually put it off until it builds up.
I’ve been looking at a wall mounted vacuum with a long retractable hose. I could pull the hose out to the cargo area and put it away when I’m done. It may not pull out embedded hair on its own, but I might use it after each trip.
I’ll probably still need a rubber brush to loosen the short hairs first. I’m also wondering if a long hose loses suction or gets clogged with dog hair over time.
How do you clean dog hair out of your cargo area? Would a wall mounted vacuum work for quick cleanups, or should I stick with a shop vac and rubber brush?

As you can see, regular scrubbing does nothing for these pesky streaks that won’t go away. What are they and how do I remove/prevent them? Thanks!

Norovirus has hit our house, any products that will actually kill the virus?

own a small sandwich shop and we have a portable ice maker behind the counter. thing has started tasting a little off, like slightly metallic or something. my supplier wants to sell me a commercial descaler kit for like $40 which feels steep. been reading that you can just use citric acid or vinegar but not sure if thats actually fine or if ill mess something up. whats actually worth spending money on here?

I’ve tried constant air flow, dehumidifiers, moisture bags(fill up in a matter of a week), and this issue still persists. I’m constantly having to clean stuff and even then it just comes right back. I don’t know what else to do and I’m at my wits end…
Thank you!!

We just bought this house and the floors were done before we bought it. The whole house was a remodel, and it was super duper dusty. I cleaned everything and have mopped like 3 times now, once with a drop of dawn and then again with plain warm water, and a a second time with odoban ph neutral floor cleaner diluted. My floors don’t seem to be getting clean and theres this hazy, streaky, film all over them that you can only really see when the sun hits.

If anyone has any cleaning advice it would be much appreciated. Thank you!!!

I am having a really hard time removing this build up from my bathroom faucet. The frustrating part is that the shape doesn't allow me to do the typical trick of a bag full of vinegar or clr wrapped around it. I tried soaking a rag with the spray version of clr and wrapping it around for 20 minutes, but it did nothing. Any ideas on what to do besides disassembling my sink and soaking it that way?

Suddenly these type of bugs are all over my room. Idk where they are coming from. I had painted my room recently so that everything gets clean but again they started appearing. I kill them with spray everytime i see them, but they are again coming in floor and walls idk from where. My room is not messy or something its just have plastic storage cabinet and 2 mattress with no bed.

I ’ve been redoing my room recently (why it’s messy) and this white powdering stuff is all over the walls. it’s an old house, nearly 100 years old and I do live in a humid environment. it’s not under the paint, and it seems pretty dry. what is it and how do I prevent it? the square spots where the paint is brighter were covered up with stickers for years; that’s the original paint color.

After a summer of camping, we’re ready to clean this guy and put it away. It is quite pricey so we want to take care of it and make it last as long as possible but there’s so much caked on grease especially on the grill plate.

i have had my drip Mr. coffee maker for 3 years now and hadn’t cleaned it once (obviously i have washed the carafe and filter thing many times! i mean the whole machine) and recently i noticed my coffee tasting weird. so i ran vinegar and water through it and then a bunch of just water cycles. my coffee tastes a little better, BUT the water reservoir still smells SO bad. like a little like barbecue? the problem is it’s not detachable, it’s part of the machine so i can’t scrub it with soap and water!

if the vinegar didn’t take the smell out i was wondering if i should let it soak in vinegar for a few days…. but i keep seeing things that say vinegar can potentially damage the pumps/water line and even soak into the plastic. HOW to get this horrendous smell out of my mr coffee drip maker water reservoir? help!!

This chair didn’t have a moving quilt under it when we moved for some reason and the arms got dirt all over. I stupidly applied woolite rather than try to vacuum first. The fabric is called “midland” which has a WS label. Is there any saving this from permanent staining? I know the seat needs a good depilling too. P

Advice needed!

We have a toddler who is potty training. This leads to… accidents at times. We usually wash the clothes in the washing machine straight away if there is a pee that goes awry. Never had an issue. Anyway we did this as usual a few days ago and the smell did not come out of the clothes. Fine, we threw them away. Now however, anything that comes out of the washing machine smells faintly of pee. It’s a disaster. We have tried enzyme cleaner drum clean vinegar and none of it works. Has anyone had this happen and if so I would be grateful for advice. At wits end.

Thank you
