I found out over Covid just how much little time spouse and grown teens will put into cleaning the house well, on a consistent basis.

IMO, money spent on the cleaning crew is money very well spent.

This maintains the cleanliness of my shower.
Clorox makes a good one.
I also use a mold/mildew remover every few days on the upper bathroom walls since there are no windows in my bathroom.

I find that cleaning 🧽 as you go makes a HUGE difference in the amount of housework that I perform overall.

For example, if I notice a spill or stain on one of my refrigerator’s shelves, I wipe it up immediately.

I also love Clorox wet wipes for wiping down most things.

For deep clean days, I use a Bissel steam cleaner. It gets the floors really clean and it has different attachments so you can use it to clean the oven, grout, tub, windows, etc. I love it. Makes cleaning the oven a lot easier and no harsh chemicals.

The pink stuff is my new favorite cleaning supply. I have both the paste and the liquid stuff. The liquidy stuff is great for sinks and counters etc but the paste is good for everything—stubborn stain in pan, glass top stove, everything. I love it so much. I just got the toilet bowl cleaner and that was a fun experience.

Generally I use seventh generation cleaners for most stuff, method for the floors, whatever countertop spray—caldera, Mrs meyers, method. I keep multiple bottles of cleaners and bar mops around so I always have one within reach to do a quick cleanup.

Toilets stay cleaner longer if you drop a Lysol or Clorox tablet in the tank every 2-3 months.

I change my sheets twice a week (pugs sleep in bed) then if I have a really busy week and can’t get to it, the sheets are at most a week old.

I used to do this but I think the chemicals nibbled at the flapper. I learned how to change a flapper but it's not my favorite thing. And I cannot stand a toilet leak sound. It keeps me up all night.

The sound is the least of your problems. You're wasting a shit ton of water if your toilet does that! Bad for your wallet AND the environment.

There's a lever you should turn as soon as you hear the leak, right where the water pipe comes out of the wall. Turn it so the level is perpendicular to the pipe. Every time you want to flush the toilet (before repairing the leak), you will have to turn it parallel to the pipe so the tank can fill.

Of course I turned the lever off, but thanks for mansplaining. I was using hyperbole to explain how much I hate that sound.

PP you replied to. I'm a woman, but thanks for assuming Some people don't know about the lever.
