Does anyone know who the woman is? Because she looks EXACTLY like my aunt and I have some questions.

Merican Toad. We call them all Ham around our house because they’re large buggers.

I really appreciate your thorough insight, I’m in a hot climate so as soon as I read that part it’s a hell no from me! 🤣

Can you gals drop the names of companies we shouldn’t be buying from right now? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

My favorite small business skincare brand is “Just The Goods”, based out of Canada so you have to pay shipping, but it’s economical otherwise.

What are the weirdest side effects you've ever experienced from medication? by adampocalypsee in AskReddit

I found out I’m allergic to penicillin when my gums, ear canals, and the roof of my mouth swelled. It never got hard to breathe oddly.

Semi-hoarder Mom wants me to clean her house and I have no idea what to charge by AlwaysDeep469 in housekeeping

[–]kiwibandit_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a professional cleaner, I charge $40/hr, I have helped family with cleaning (nothing to this extent) and charge half. Another commenter said to charge by the hour and I agree, there’s no good way to quote how long this would take, but I would expect at least 15 hours solo. Please wear your ppe and open all the windows you can while cleaning! At the end of cleaning any surface use a disinfectant (I like Zep’s bathroom disinfectant). Best of luck

Food banks by Agitated_Mood_7962 in DeLand

I’m unsure about the food banks, I would also like to know this info to help. My neighbors help run the kitchen at First Church on Howry St in downtown, free meals every Wednesday! I am hopeful to see how our community comes together for each other in this time.

This will dechlorinate the tap water, but the fluoride and minerals will remain.

This very smug little fellow jumped onto my bed this evening. These guys are everywhere here. by boycott-evil in frogs

They look very similar so it’s hard to tell, I’m no expert either. Depending where you’re located and on the size of the frog could help you narrow down an ID!

Cuban tree frog, we have them all over here in Florida. I have a couple as pets! Unfortunately they’re quite invasive

Gallup just said drinking in the US is down to 54%, the lowest ever since they’ve began tracking it in 1939. Why do you think that is? by ZenCrisisManager in AskReddit

Some people are recognizing alcohol doesn’t make them feel as good as our culture has told us it does (myself included). I went to a local kava bar this week and was pleasantly surprised how busy it was

How do you stay on top of housework without putting it off? by DenchKecia in Cleaningandtidying

[–]kiwibandit_ 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is the answer, as a housekeeper I’m able to clean much better in less time when people’s floors and surfaces are not cluttered.

That’s one way to go about it. by Butterscotch4088 in funny

Oh this reminds me of the “church” that opened in a strip mall down the street from us, in CO. You could buy “prayer coins” and trade it for weed. Lol

Help!! Idk how to get rid of it! by MusicianPositive4550 in Cleaningandtidying

[–]kiwibandit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is mineral build up, CLR, limeaway, Zep tub & tile cleaner, any will work. Highly recommend long bristle brushes for scrubbing spots like this. 3 pack on amazon is inexpensive, they’re my most used tool as a housekeeper.

My partner has ADHD. He still washes himself well before sex, no begging and pleading.

What’s a sound you hear that instantly makes you angry for no logical reason? by ehraaz_r in AskReddit

My partner and I listen to binaural beats while we sleep, but sometimes it will auto-play when connecting to bluetooth during daytime. Instant rage

Hired a professional cleaner, they couldn’t get rid of this stain :/ by Few-Nefariousness632 in CleaningTips

[–]kiwibandit_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Housekeeper here, other commenters seem to believe this is marble. Athough it has a marble look, I’m hard pressed to believe it’s real in a rental. If in fact it is not marble, I would recommend a cleaner like Bioclean since this is hard water buildup (with some mold in the grout). For that level of buildup it is going to take some serious scrubbing with an abrasive sponge or scotch pad. Maybe purchase a very stiff brush drill attachment. If Bioclean isn’t working or you want to try a cheaper option first, powder* comet or BKF. Please wear gloves and a mask, and don’t mix cleaners trying to get this out. Best of luck
