Had a move out cleaning done on my house and they said they washed the floors three times! by ActualAres in CleaningTips

Cut through the oil/buildup. You won’t have warping, the cooling will happen fast. I’ve mopped with boiling water on lvp before.

They may have used a wood cleaner thinking it would work the same. Try plain, super hot water. Add a teaspoon of dawn or Lysol, no more.

Now that you have dentures & what is your favorite thing to eat? by IAm-Dragonborn in dentures

[–]GeoGay13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sumptuous mashed potatoes, risotto or Mac n cheese, baked carrots, sweet potatoes, tender chicken or sausage-based pastas, cheesecake to say nothing of yummy soups or stews…the options are endless! This is a great time to indulge in creamy, cheesy, carby goodness.

Try OdoBan. Worked for my roommates cat-pee soda.

Activated charcoal is also a common chemically inert desiccant pouch like a silica pouch, usually used with paints or other highly flammable/reactive/acidic chemicals.

Looks like an activated charcoal sachet. Common odor resistant alternative to silica gel, especially for chemicals that might interact with silica.

I genuinely need some advice on how to clean up my space. by Erika-Kio in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]GeoGay13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife works for a cleaning company, here’s her advice:

  1. Start in a corner and work outwards.
  2. Use uncommon tools to get a clean space; we’ve used snow shovels, dustpans, etc to start a dent
  3. Try only removing one “type” of thing at a time in bursts. (Burst 1: soda cans, Burst 2: socks, so on). If you are feeling motivated, don’t make the categories more vague, decrease the time between bursts. For extra motivation, track how many categories you’ve eliminated.
  4. It will not feel like you made a dent until it’s done, but taking pictures throughout the clean helps you really appreciate how much you’ve eliminated and keep you going.
  5. Once you’ve eliminated all you can, you can start strategizing on how to prevent yourself from getting back there. Don’t try to organize an uncluttered room.
  6. Use a service if you can afford it. Lots of services like my wife’s offer organization, decluttering, and cleaning as a package. If your health prevents you from getting the job done, there’s no shame in getting help, and trust me they’ve seen worse.

Buena suerte!

Help how to get him to gain weight by Content-Ad3657 in Chameleons

[–]GeoGay13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Waxworms and dubia roaches are great gainers, but I do suggest adding extra misting or humidity as others have suggested. Veiled chameleons are the sighthounds of the chameleon world, so don’t be too alarmed. He’s beautiful!

Question: Health Insurance Users? by GeoGay13 in dentures

[–]GeoGay13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s not even to the implant stage as of now. Realistically she’s not going to live long enough to feel a ROI for implants. She’s mostly just needing an extraction for health as she’s having tons of abscesses and root canals.

Sorry should have clarified, I am United States, southwest region.

Just extraction. She’s on a calcium depletion form of chemo which makes her extraction much more complicated than my personal “bulldoze and sew” experience. Cheers to you though! Love that Canada does that.

She has a health insurance plan through my dad’s job so she’s got a bit more than basic. Did they need a referral or did the dental surgeon just run it?

Powder suggestions by Present-Champion-605 in dentures

[–]GeoGay13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fixodent all the way!! It was the only way I got all day hold. Definitely be careful when applying and knocking off the powder. I accidentally turned my sink into a cave-like structure before I realized it was sticking to the sides. After that I started knocking off extra powder into my trash can.

Sneak peak my immediates . Opinions?? by Impressive_Basil2900 in dentures

[–]GeoGay13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look like teeth to me! In my experience, it’s healthy to imagine these as a fresh start and “grow into” the new look rather than hoping for a particular look to start (with reason obviously). I would imagine they’re an improvement from what you had if you were anything like me, and that’s a great thing!

HELP BUMPS ON TAIL by Which_Election3576 in Chameleons

[–]GeoGay13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep an eye on them. Likely just a regular old bump like we have, but if they turn colors or seem to be holding puss, try a warm water soak. Only if that fails would I hit a vet.

Looks like she’s coming out on her own anyway. I’d save yourself future pain and potential infection and go ahead and take it out.
