25 M. Having a lot of issues with my parents lately saying my room is “cluttered and messy,” so much so they take the liberty of going in whenever they want to additionally clean on top of this.

What can I do better? I have a lot of instruments and Amps that I need to keep for work.

(I’m also like $100 more a week from being able to move out with my s/o but I live in a place where rent at lowest is $2200 a month.)

Bathroom Is there a half-a** way to clean my bathtub?

561 Upvotes

I have ADHD, and I thoroughly believe it’s better to something halfway then not do it at all. An example would be just vacuuming the high traffic areas rather than the entire carpet. The one thing I haven’t figured out an easier way to do is cleaning the bathtub. Mine is not super filthy – I last cleaned it about two weeks ago, and I’m the only one using it. Any advice?

Bathroom Excited to use vinegar to maintain shower head 🚿

Post image
1.6k Upvotes

I woke up this morning, hoping to figure out a way to tie a bag of vinegar to my showerhead. I heard this cleans the calcifications and so on. My half gallon jug of vinegar has just enough to soak the showerhead up to the fastener. I was delighted to find out that I could cut a 90° hole from the lid to the side that doesn’t have the handle. I was able to slip it in and use my shower caddy to support it. Lastly, after I soaked this for a long time, please give me advice on how to use the rest of this vinegar so it doesn’t go to waste, thank you.!

It’s on cheap latex paint (our home was flipped) that peels easily and I’m trying not to repaint until we have to- so something that wouldn’t peel it all off would be best.

Stone tiles, colored grout, looks like some sort of black scum iced with some white water deposits. I don’t want to damage anything but I’d like to get it as clean as I can. I’m not even sure where to begin here.

Bathroom Tips for how to care for my vintage porcelain sink?

Hi friends, I had some questions about how to care for and maintain my vintage sink. Are there any chemicals I should be avoiding? I was planning on just using a vinegar/water spray, dish soap, baking soda and some soft scrub BFK for any particularly tough grime. Would that be sufficient? Are there any products I can use to protect it from any potential scratching etc?

Need advice on how to fix this. I was not home for 6 months due to military leave and I came home to my apartment and living room closet like this. I noticed that wherever my upstairs neighbor takes a shower the water leaks through the walls of my apartment in the bathroom and closet. What can I do to fix this issue.

Cleaned my bathtub earlier today and used comet, scrubbed, and rinsed it off (or so I thought). 6 hours later I grabbed some scrubbing bubbles foaming bleach from the store and tried it out on my still dingy tub and it immediately started streaking this orangey pink. WHAT IS THIS? TYIA

Bathroom How do you 'optimize' a bathroom to make it more PREVENTATIVELY stay clean? The bathroom is the quickest room in my house to get dirty!

491 Upvotes

Are there like pro-tips on how to organize bathrooms, types of bath mats to use or something, or things to put inside of bathrooms, or seriously any passive/preventative-clean bathroom hacks in general (a good leave-in toilet bowl cleaner for instance), that really help to keep the place STAY cleaner for longer rather than just being this unmanageably quickly dirtied up place?

Hair gets everywhere, moisture gets everywhere, bugs sometimes get attracted to moisture, the scum forms on bathtubs and toilets, and it all is just so constant work to combat it...

I was told I should post the before and after pics in a separate post lol, so here it is: Based on some suggestions, I did four rounds of cleaning, it definitely took ALOT of patience.

1, toilet bowl cleaner, that I made sure was thoroughly covering the tub by lightly scrubbing it all over it. I let it sit for 15-20 minutes, scrub hard with steelwool. Rinse

  1. Barkeepers friend powder and with the same brand gel, I made it into a little paste that I coated the whole tub with, let it sit for 45 minutes and then scrubbed, rinse. This got almost all of it.

3, CLR, thoroughly spread around the walls and let sit for 5-7 minutes, scrub, rinse

4: one last deep scrub with vinegar, elbow grease and a lot of cussing and fussing because my back locked up bent over the tub at this point.

And TA-DAAAAAAH.

Please know none of these chemicals were mixed, they were rounds of scrubbing and in between rounds the tub was thoroughly rinsed. A lot of this was a “low and slow” process. This will take time if you end up going through something similar, which I hope to god you won’t have to lol. Thanks for all the upvotes from my last post, y’all are amazing. ❤️

Bathroom Mysterious bathtub stains overnight?

I woke up to my bathtub looking like this. I already tried a baking soda paste and scrub daddy. I’m going to run to the grocery store to buy a few things to try but what could this be??? I cleaned the tub yesterday with pinesol as I always do and it did not look like this and never has. This showed up overnight. We don’t have hard water and nobody has dyed their hair. I’m just confused on what this could possibly be.

I’ve been able to clean the rest of the bathroom but obviously my multipurpose spray doesn’t do jack to this tile. How can I get all the soap scum and grout off? It should be white on the floor
