vanishingage asked: Declogging the drain. How do I do this outside of buying some sort of liquid plumber stuff that seems really... scary and possibly bad for my pipes? I've tried baking soda and VINEGAR to little effect. :/

barbryallen asked: I keep white vinegar on next to my washer to throw in with particularly smelly clothes. I found a new use for it yesterday! It works great for cleaning out smelly cat boxes. The combo of cat urine and vinegar smell oddly like old man BO, but it works great and dries really fast! Just pour, swish, drain and wipe.
It's Sunday night!
Which means it’s time to make Monday morning you love right now you. Unfuck tomorrow morning. Start your week in a less chaotic way.

mad-woman-in-the-attic asked: I had a problem similar to wailingbeansidhe's, and I found spraying the area with hot water and vinegar, letting it sit for a few minutes, and then using elbow grease and a heavy-duty sponge took care of it. It might take a few cycles, but it works.

wander-star asked: As a thirty-something freelance artist working out of the home, this site has been the kick in the pants that I needed to start getting my shit sorted. I am a chronic slob like you wouldn't believe. I've been this way all my life. I've realized, though, that the environment you're in DOES have a tremendous impact on every aspect of your life, especially when it's a...

wailingbeansidhe asked: Do you have any advice for removing the layer of greasy dust that has settled on the tops of my kitchen cabinets? It's unfinished wood, and no matter what kind of solvent I try, all that cemented-on gunk just makes sponges and paper towels pill and crumble if I try to wipe it away. Please help! It's disgusting!

omgpurplefattie asked: 'Unfucking' my habitat by a 20/10 or 45/15 at a time instead of 'cleaning ALL THE THINGS' is making all the difference! I just unfucked my bathtub with vinegar cleaner in a spray bottle, easy as pie, even the gunk line from my oily bath bombs is entirely gone, and I kept only the products that I am really using! I'm now on the '15' part of the 45/15 it's...

vinegarfairy asked: Just spent 3 hours cleaning up after a massive 27-30 person party. Did all the dishes, washing all the tablecloths +dishcloths, picked up cigarette butts...even unclogged the drain using vinegar and baking soda. Wish I had taken photos, it was pretty epic!

Beads: Unfucked
agnisdaughter:
Right. We went by Micheal’s (the craft store) today, so I had some help picking what I was going to do today. I purchased a couple of items I would need - which I will get to in a bit - and very pointedly did not buy more beads. This was actually step one in the unfuckery; I have a hard time resisting beads.
My bead storage, as it began the day:
Lovely, yes? It gets better.

KITCHEN BOOM
fireundermyfeathers:
Two and a half hours and I OWNED this fucker.
to:
That’s right, the vacuum deserves some credit. That rug on the floor there was unbelievably filthy. New plan: vacuum it every Friday.
The Boyfriend (I call him A. in my real life journal, so he shall henceforth be A. here too) will get in on this too. Slacker—I’ve been at him for WEEKS to wash the bathroom floor...
