basseyworld: unfuckyourhabitat: Look around. Find five pieces of trash. Throw them away. Sit back down and get back to your very busy Internet life. This tumblr is why I’ve been on a cleaning rampage as of late. The tips are so helpful. I actually got on my hands and knees and scrubbed my bathroom floor but I took everything in sections and took plenty of breaks. When I was a kid,...

thesarcasmstore: Our house looks SPECTACULAR. H and I have taken to doing two 20/10s a day, and it dramatically increases the cleanliness of our house. Our bathrooms are BOTH clean, shower curtains washed, towels clean, rugs in the dryer, kitchen sparkling and all dishes done, WE CAN SEE THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR, stuff has been cleared out of the spare room, and all around it looks so much...

ohdogoaway: Well, after what must be about 8 hours cleaning in total, my living room is unfucked. Finally. Before: After: And have a bonus tree close-up because I really like my tree this year, okay? Now all I have to do is clean the dining room, vacuum the hall, and make mince pies! Hooray! Looks awesome!!

Classroom: Unfucked!

monasequeda: The before: Yes. There is a desk under there. See that bin of books? Idk where they came from, but they’re been sitting there for MONTHS. That rolled up poster? I’ve been meaning to hang it up since the beginning of the school year. Self-explanatory. Circle area- random papers abound! That stuff’s been there since August. Kids can’t even access all the books. ...

octopusouphut asked: Just took 20 minutes to see what I could get done. I'm impressed, and wish I had more time today, but I got started late and have to go to work soon. One issue I have is that I share a very small space with my boyfriend. He's at work while I'm on break from school while trying to do the unfucking...what should I do with his stuff that I don't know what to do with? Just make a...

Unfucking tip of the day, 12/20:

Clean out your fridge before you go grocery shopping, and keep your list handy. Seems like a basic thing, but it frees up room, makes sure you don’t have rotting leftovers, and you can take a glance at what you need before you’re in the store, trying desperately to remember how many eggs you had left.

queerlips-queerveins asked: My cats really aren't peeing so much as spraying, but they are both female and spayed, and started this when we renovated out house, but taking them to the veet is in the plan (although the one we suspect sprays the most is Super Old and waiting for her to kick the bucket is cheapest). Also, they are peeing ON THE COMPUTER; We've had to change the moniter twice this year since they broke...

mxandb asked: I realized something tonight. My invisible corner isn't a spot that I overlook and becomes cluttered as hell. It's the corner of my house I can't clean. I sweep and dust around it because I don't want to move shit to get to the tiny crevices. Well, tonight I moved shit and I cleaned that damned corner! Filthy as hell. (well, it was) :)

I think we’ve thoroughly unfucked the mysteries of cat pee and cutting onions!

moderntrickster asked: Another tip for onions, if you have the time to spare beforehand, is to cut them in half and soak them in ice water. The cold neutralizes the acid that makes you tear up. They'll get crispy again when they come back to room temperature afterwards!

erinburr asked: Our family cat is such a fickle bitch that we have to keep two different litter boxes with two different types of litter. Depending on which stars are aligned where, she will use one or the other. Not necessarily the cheapest solution, but she doesn't pee on the bathmats anymore.

bluelightseven asked: You can actually put regular Nature's Miracle (try the Just for Cats stuff, it works better on cat pee, which is nasty terrible stuff) in the wash with your regular detergent. Works great and you don't have to buy two products!

scarygodmother asked: I can't even be in the same room as chopped raw onion without tearing up. Solution: I wear a cheap pair of swim goggles when I have to dice an onion. I look ridiculous but it really does work.

supersoygrrrl asked: We had a HUGE problem with my cat peeing on things years ago. Natures' Miracle makes a liquid you pour in the wash for any clothing or blankets that was the only thing that got the smell out. To calm the spraying itself we tried dealing with my cat's crazy issues -we got her this thing that plugs into a wall that makes "calming noises", we got Feliway, we got this liquid from...

cupcakes-and-lithium asked: From my experience, the vet check is most important. Once you rule out medical issues, then you can move to behavioral ones. Also, make sure to clean the box at least once a day. You may want to consider an additional box if you don't already have one.

wildunicornherd asked: I, unfortunately, have some experience unfucking cat pee, and here's what worked for me:
- absorbing the mess with paper towel or whatever (and baking soda will draw it out of cracks)
- spraying with Nature's Miracle and/or vinegar and/or hydrogen peroxide
- for washable stuff, soak it in a dilution of apple cider vinegar first, then throw some baking soda in the...
