Hijack stuff
The thing is, even if you were lucky and your parents taught you how to clean, they probably didn't teach you how to clean the stuff you clean stuff with, like brushes, mops, sponges, rags, and so on. Or how to clean your cleaning appliances, like a dish washer, clothes washing machine, and clothes dryer and its ducts (if you have a ducted dryer), or a carpet cleaner, vacuum, Or how to clean up clean messes, like spilled bleach or detergent.
My parents threw away all of these things (even the vacuum cleaners and the dryer) when they got too dirty to function, because no one even told them THAT they could be cleaned. Cost them thousands of dollars over the years.
All I'm saying is that cleaning is not intuitive, and not knowing how to clean is not a moral failing, but it is something you can learn.
I'm going to reblog this post with resources for learning how to clean things and how to clean cleaning things (I'm not at my desk at the moment). If you have any favorites, please feel free to add them in too!
I like this video because it does a great job of introducing the basic foundations of house cleaning (and because he doesn't use bleach, which is a common allergy in addition to being awful to inhale). He also talks a little about how to clean a vacuum. And why you shouldn't put grease from your pots and pans down the sink drain. I also love that he mentions that different houses and different people have different needs and different versions of what clean and cleaning looks like.
He doesn't mention though that the toilet seat comes off. I take my toilet seat off to clean under the hinges and clean the seat more thoroughly once a quarter.
This is another video from the same guy about cleaning and depression. This advice, especially at the beginning, can feel really really difficult and oppressive to hear. However, I find that it's generally pretty solid. But I'm autistic and so is he, so that gets a massive Your Mileage May Vary stamp on it.
I have a favorite part of this video. It's from 10:52 to 12:36. I think we could all use to hear that. There's a HEFTY pause after that one. I promise the narration does come back.
I'm also going to recommend KC Davis' book "How To Keep House While Drowning"
This is a pair of videos about how to correctly load and use a dish washer.
The first one is a quick 1 minute 30 second overview on loading. I can't find the exact video I'm looking for, so consider this a substitute for that. If I can find the one I'm looking for, I'll swap it in.
The second is a half hour deep dive on dishwashers and detergents. The short form of that is you shouldn't need to pre-rinse anything, detergent pods are overpriced and can cause problems, some dishwashers have a filter in the bottom that needs to be cleaned (but most don't), run your sink until the water is HOT before starting your dish washer, and put a little detergent in the pre-rinse dispenser when you're washing extra dirty dishes (or on the inside of the door if your dishwasher doesn't have a pre-rinse dispenser).
Favorite Scrub Brushes + How to Clean Them. The right tools for cleaning tasks make all the difference! Scrub brushes are great tools and it
Here's a blog post about scrubbing brushes and how to clean them.
And a video for all cleaning tools, including scrub brushes. This video does use bleach. I'll try to find some alternatives to that.
How to clean a front load washer (with bleach). This should be done monthly or every time you wash really soiled clothes.
With expert tips and tricks for all types of washers.
How to clean a top loader (without the removable agitator thing). This should be done every 1-3 months depending on you unit, or every time you wash really soiled clothes.
Regular cleaning of a top-load washing machine will prolong the life of the appliance and leave your laundry cleaner and brighter.
How to clean a top loader (with the removable agitator thing). This should be done every month, or every time you wash really soiled clothes.
This video is for pet owners.
These carpet brushes are a LIFE SAVER if you have dogs. This thing allows me to go from vacuuming about 4 square feet before my vacuum is full to vacuuming half the living room (I don't vacuum often enough. You should vacuum weekly, and I just can't.). I have to unclog the vacuum less often. It fluffs up some of the flat spots in the carpet. And I also use the brush to shampoo my rugs in the spring.
A spot cleaner (or a carpet cleaner with a spot cleaner attachment) is another life saver, ESPECIALLY if you can afford to splurge on a heated one. I see them at Goodwill or at yard sales occasionally, and they're worth picking up. The shark one in the video is great too.
This channel is gold. There's tutorials for cleaning EVERYTHING on there. Just go subscribe!
Gonna throw another potential resource at the end of this very long list, which may be potentially helpful for others like me who loathe videos. It's... the weirdest thing that has genuinely been helpful to me in housekeeping. Absolutely full of useful advice, and bizarrely still relevant in large part. (Though, caveat, research ANYTHING to do with chemicals or cleaning products more complicated than vinegar + lemon + water for modern information.)
It's America's Housekeeping Book (1941). Available for free download on the Internet Archive. (Large PDF file at the link here).
The LISTS y'all. The step by step lists. The emphasis on efficiency and arranging spaces for the least resistance possible. The basic concept of "take a tray or basket into a room when you are tidying up so you can put things that belong elsewhere on it and take them out LATER in ONE GO".
My ADHD-having ass could cry.
I know people keep talking about how Lestat is not popular because no one likes hard rock anymore, but honestly to me most of his music feels more like indie pop, maybe indie punk at a real push (I think Black Liquorice is the exception so far). If you are anything short of harDCore I fear I simply don’t recognize you as hard anything, which is more of a me problem I guess. I love the music and I love the story beat that he’s less successful than he wants to be. But if you listen to anyone outside of the top five pop girlies I feel like his sound is actually pretty standard.
I love this post. I have the same problem where anything less aggressive than metal has me wondering if the music is hard anything. but I do think the band falls into the category of hard rock, it's just that hard rock is like...Nickelback, lol.
Also, I think it's so funny and interesting that you think Black Licorice isn't the indie pop/punk song cause I think the inclusion of the violin makes it the most indie (tentatively approaching chamber pop) of all the songs they've released so far.
whenever i get worried about being judged i just gotta remind myself that most people genuinely just arent mean. some people really do suck but i think 98% of the human population is a lot kinder than your anxiety would let you believe
it's easy to lose sight of when youre online but all the dickheads are just pushed forward by algorithms. theyre an exception that are being way overrepresented. most people have sense and logic and are kind and normal and well adjusted in the real world
anyone want my mom's insanely good choc chip muffin recipe from when she owned a bakery? it's probably based on a king arthur flour recipe so it might be available on the internet but im not gonna gatekeep
sorry that took forever, i had to convert all the kitchen jargon into useful measurements. If you have a kitchen scale, use it. Measuring by weight will make this way faster!
320g (2 1/3c) all purpose flour (if you have soft wheat flour lying around, use 120g/1c of it and the rest all-purpose)
200g (1c) sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1c buttermilk/sour milk
175g (about half a bag) mini chocolate chips
65g (a 1/4c plus a lil) sour cream
2 eggs
12g (about 2 1/2 tsp) vanilla
42g (2T) honey
30g (2T) vegetable oil
110g (1 stick) butter, melted (if you use salted butter, reduce salt to 1/4 tsp)
1. Mix together dry ingredients in a big bowl. Add chocolate chips.
2. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs and (room temp) melted butter. Once it's smooth, add oil, honey, buttermilk, vanilla, and sour cream.
3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Let rest for an hour. (This gives the baking powder time to really go crazy and give you the Big Muffin Lift.)
4. Preheat oven to 425° F. Line muffin tin and scoop about 1/3 batter into each cup. Garnish as desired with extra chocolate chips and sugar (Demerara sugar is good for this but normal will do).
5. Bake 8 minutes. Then, without opening the oven, reduce heat to 350°F. Bake 8-10 minutes more.
6. Cool 10 minutes in pan before removing.
The realisation of how much my family manipulates everyone... of how my father manipulates us... damn my therapist is so right
He literally refused to go out for dinner with my mum and sis because i wouldn't go. I thought he had stopped doing that but no, of course not, not now when we are all fighting he has to feel in control of us by making us all do the same thing and go to the same places as a "family " fuck you and your idea of family that has made your kids hate you.
I can't wait to move out one day, im too old for this bullshit
One by one, a poem by me
(Please do not copy or repost)
One by one, the things we shared that day are gone. I remember the choices I made, the regrets I felt afterwords, the pain i feel for knowing that we will not share a bag of chips again, that I will never taste those muffins you made for me ever again. The container of hummus i bought is still unopened, probably to never be, I should just throw it away just like you did to me. I remember the warmth of your jacket, guarding me from the wind built by the cooling ground as the sun sets for us. I remember the harsh led lights as we ran to the bathroom, the supermarket saving us after hours in the middle of nowhere just talking, talking, talking, ... I hate that I take part of you with me everywhere I go, be it the random Sabrina Carpenter song you loved so much, the sandwich we talked about, the lingers of a kiss and cheek under my hand, laughing. I hate that I am reminded of you in the games I play, in the music I listen, in the books I don't read. One by one, the things we shared are gone, but the memories linger, permanent like the scars on my feet, caused by the unfortunate shoes I chose to wear and still refuse to throw away despite knowing they will hurt me every time, and I will bear these scars as a knowledge that I still care, I can still care for someone. One by one, the things we shared will be gone, until nothing is left. I will move on, time will move forward. Scars will heal, food will be eaten, feelings will fade. Oh how much I want them to fade, at least for you. And then I'll realise it was never meant to be you. One by one, new things will be shared, and I will care for them, I will care for them, and hope, this time, they will care for me too.
I think i might just be the problem. Im too weird, too unexperienced in dating, too anxious, too me to have a normal conversation and everyone just leaves me. Idk how i even have friends at this point, everything i say is either weird or awkward... im so fucked up
When your dream ruins the chances of having a good day before you even woke up 😢
Damn Ashton Kutcher was really hot back in Kiss and Kill (2010)
I've been cursed to only date/have a situationship with men with the same name 😩 hinge when i said i wanted to meet more men like him (the first one) i didn't mean the same name 😭 literally all even have the same age and live near each other wtf is this
I FOUND IT THANK GOD this video is so important
This is real and here is the patent. Nonconsensual data collection is detailed in column #4 on page 17.
i fucking LOVE this dude (FLESH SIMULATOR is the name of his accounts). all of his videos are full of information and tips like this, and he always has loud industrial tone music mixed poorly over him speaking to make it impossible to create a clean AI copy of his voice.
If i can't be with him, I'll become him
**proceeds to steal him dna and modify my own to match his 100% and rob him of his life**
omg the new emoji
for those that can’t see it
i love him on android their eyes are even more off-center
i don’t usually talk outside of tags but this was really funny to me
