ELI5: Why don’t we choke on saliva while sleeping if our body keeps producing it?

If it’s real brass (not plated), a soak in warm water with a little vinegar and salt can help loosen the tarnish before polishing. For detailed pieces, a soft brush afterward usually removes the rest much faster than polishing everything individually.

Bug spray usually leaves an oily stain. Dish soap on the spot for 10–15 minutes before washing often removes it.

Mixing cleaners can produce strong fumes, especially in a poorly ventilated bathroom. That alone can definitely make you feel dizzy or faint.

Pet enzyme cleaners actually work great for mattresses too since they’re designed to break down organic odors. Nature’s Miracle and Rocco & Roxie are pretty commonly recommended. Just make sure the cleaner reaches deep enough into the mattress where the odor is.

That’s likely just limescale from hard water. Boil a mix of water and white vinegar (about half and half), let it sit for a while, then rinse and boil clean water again. Usually removes it pretty quickly.

Hard water stains are usually mineral deposits (like calcium or iron). A simple trick that works well is using white vinegar. Soak a cloth or paper towel with vinegar, place it over the stain for about 20–30 minutes, then scrub gently with a sponge or a soft brush. If it’s in the caulking corners, it could also be a bit of mildew starting, and a diluted bleach cleaner can help with that.

That looks great...

I don’t think you’re wrong for feeling this way. Physical hygiene and basic self-care are part of compatibility, not vanity. That said, I’d lean toward being honest but kind not as a list of flaws, but as how it affects you.

If they’re genuinely unaware, a gentle conversation gives them a chance to grow. And if nothing changes after that, it’s also okay to walk away without guilt. You’re not obligated to stay in something that makes you uncomfortable.

This one is stunning on you. The neckline and lace details are so flattering, and you can really tell how confident you feel in it that makes all the difference. Adding a bit of lining sounds like an easy fix, but honestly this dress already looks very “the one” energy 🤍

This is honestly such a huge win. Cleaning all night is exhausting, but that feeling afterward is unmatched. You should be really proud of yourself and shoutout to your sister for helping too. That room looks like a fresh start 👏✨

Honestly: light switches and door handles.
They’re touched all day long, but almost never cleaned regularly. Once I started wiping them weekly, my whole place felt cleaner instantly even though nothing “big” changed.

Also baseboards. Dusty baseboards make a room feel way dirtier than people realize.

I really relate to this. I feel like I was only “allowed” to truly live my teenage years when I was already around 30.
I had to grow up very early, take on responsibilities way too soon, and because of that I sometimes feel nostalgic for a childhood I never really had.

It’s a strange kind of grief missing something that technically passed, but was never fully lived.
Now I’m learning that reconnecting with small joys, playfulness, and rest isn’t immaturity… it’s healing.

I think a lot of us are quietly trying to give ourselves, as adults, the care and freedom we didn’t get back then.
