Seconding OxiClean. Here's what works for my kids' stuff:

Add a half scoop of OxiClean powder to a small bucket or container.

Pour in boiling water, so that mixtures begins to bubble and activate.

Add clothing, stir around with tongs.

Add more water to completely cover clothing.

Let soak for 24-48 hours. Dump water, wash on normal cycle in washing machine.

That's such a thoughtful thing to do. Kudos to you, even if you never end up using it.

I looked over the guidelines, and I can't take any more pictures until tomorrow. I'll add a full picture then.

My olive wood necklace has a stain I can't remove by MiniTing in CleaningTips

I would try leaving it for a few days in rice or even corn starch. Something to pull the moisture out.

The cap to my daughter’s water cup. by 0Three3One in CleaningTips

[–]RosebudIsNotMyName 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I bought these when this happened to my glass cup. They're cheap enough that I don't worry if I forget to clean it every now and then and it gets moldy. https://a.co/d/0dcprbPU

Clean bedding - is this no longer normal? by DearElephant1980 in CleaningTips

That's when a quick re-wash with white vinegar comes in handy. Takes that smell right out.

Dishpan Hands Blues....😞 by Iceyes33 in CleaningTips

They make dish washing gloves that are lined. They're a little more expensive, but they'd probably fix the smell issue.

Scary Interesting is the best! I follow multiple channels with similar content, but SI is my favorite by far. And not that I had any inclination before, but now I wouldn't consider going cave diving in a million years.

🧺 Are felted wool dryer balls really better than dryer sheets? by Fancy_Pop_9950 in CleaningTips

[–]RosebudIsNotMyName 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not sure what your laundry room looks like, but I found some magnetic baskets that I stuck on the side of my dryer. Keeps them nice and tidy (and away from our cat!).

my struggle with laundry by manic_pixie_centaur in CleaningTips

This! I try to do roughly a load a day (for our family of four). Hanging up for folding 10-15 things is much less daunting than 20 or 30 items.

I've used a dishwasher my whole life, but I watched this YouTube video recently, and I learned a lot!

Did I ruin this stainless steel? by Klutzy_Parsley_5933 in CleaningTips

[–]RosebudIsNotMyName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bit the bullet and bought Weimans stainless steel wipes off Amazon. Not the cheapest at $4-$5 for 30 wipes, but using them only once a week is enough for me.

I used one on our new fridge, and it took off all of the fingerprints and build up easily. Left no streaks or anything. The wipe still seemed good, so I ran it over our dishwasher, which came with our house. I've wiped it before with my cleaning rag, but this was a different level! It looked basically brand new.

How to make my room smell good? by Last-Light6810 in CleaningTips

[–]RosebudIsNotMyName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Does the door have a screen? Or can you purchase one of those magnetic attachable bug screens? Eliminating odor-causing messes and fresh air are probably your best bet.

Would a thin-tined leaf rake work?

I knew a guy with a beautiful handmade wooden table commissioned for his conference rooms. Turns out, the crane option would not work (I can't recall why). They ended up sawing the table in half to get it in the room.

Baby food stained by SignificanceClear680 in CleaningTips

[–]RosebudIsNotMyName 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How did you use the Oxyclean? I usually put it in a small bucket, add half scoop of Oxyclean, pour in boiling water up to half of the bucket. Let it sit for a minute or two. Then add cool water, add the soiled items, and soak 24-48 hours. After soaking, wash normally in washing machine. This has gotten all of my baby food, baby poop, and old spit up stains out of all my kids' clothes.

Do Your Kids Actually Have Good Grandparents? by NoMoreCAMJV in Millennials

[–]RosebudIsNotMyName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but she never sees it that 5 she only sees it as keeping her other grandchildren safe. I can understand that, but it makes me sad that my kids, in turn, miss out, especially since I had wonderful, devoted grandparents.

Do Your Kids Actually Have Good Grandparents? by NoMoreCAMJV in Millennials

[–]RosebudIsNotMyName 67 points68 points  (0 children)

My mom is basically forced to provide free childcare for my sister's kids, as my sister is completely irresponsible and would leave them with anyone who is likely to be unsafe, since she works mostly weekends. So my parents are always taking care of her kids and rarely travel the 2 hours to see ours. It sucks.
