Unfuck tomorrow morning!

Wash the dishes in your sink Get your outfit for tomorrow together, including accessories Set up coffee/tea/breakfast Make your lunch Put your keys somewhere obvious Wash your face and brush your teeth Charge your electronics Pour a little cleaner in the toilet bowl (if you don’t have pets or children or sleepwalking adults) Set your alarm Go to bed at a reasonable hour

Grout: 0, Amber: 1

fireundermyfeathers: Today I did it. I scrubbed my bathroom floor. I feel like rubber and my hands are about to fall off, and I didn’t get the area directly around the toilet (which, counterintuitively, isn’t as bad off due to less traffic volume)—but my bathroom floor is cleaner than ever! We haven’t actually lived in this place for even a year yet, and I’m pretty certain the majority of ick...

knittin-in-the-impala asked: Just so you know, you totally made me a believer of Magic Erasers. I thought they sounded like all hype, but at the store today, I saw a few boxes in the sale section, so I bought a 4-pack, and OH MY GOD. The dark grey soap scum in the bathtub that refused to budge with bleach and a scrub brush and made the tub look so dirty and disgusting that I hated to let guests use the bathroom in case they...

Diana Unfucks Shit Up: Caramel Explosion!

menshevixen: So my experiment with matzoh toffee turned out fabulous tasty, BUT left a screaming mess in my kitchen at large. To get this I ended up doing this So basically I threw every cleaning agent I could find on the oven door and innards (Lysol spray, Bon Ami, lemon juice…alas I have no VINEGAR!) and left it while I did the dishes. Then I hove to with a bunch of Lysol wipes, a...

Freestyle challenge

blueandbluer: Today I had to print something, and it was incredibly difficult, as I’m ashamed to admit this is what my desk looked like: So, when UFYH posted today’s Freestyle Challenge to unfuck anything for 20 minutes, I knew I couldn’t scroll by this time (though I was sorely tempted). 20 minutes turned out to be EXACTLY the right amount of time to clear off and wipe down everything....

New people! Hello!

Welcome aboard! If you’re new to UfYH, here’s the welcome packet: I curse. A lot. If this is problematic for you, we may have to admire each other from afar. There will be many f-bombs, as well as some more creative stuff. A 20/10 is 20 minutes of unfucking (cleaning, studying, what have you) followed by a 10-minute break. 45/15s are the same, only, you know, 45 and 15. A drain volcano is...

Freestyle challenge!

20 minutes, starting AS SOON AS you’re done reading this post. Pick one thing that needs unfucking and get to it. I promise that the Internet will still be here in 20 minutes. GO! GO NOW! DON’T YOU ROLL YOUR EYES AT ME. IT’S 20 MINUTES, NOT A LIFETIME COMMITMENT. Check back and tell me what you unfucked.

internetwinnage replied to your post: Make your bed! I love your sparkly gifs. They make my day! I love this one.

Unfucking My Closet

schweinsty: Before: Six 15/3s later (sans flash, my bad): Plus, bonus top shelf unfucking! I feel so accomplished :D.

Unfucked My Habitat

witandbanter: It took a lot more than a 20/10 or a 45/15, in fact it took about three hours (we got a new vacuum, and I vacuumed the CRAP out of all of our furniture, our hardwood floors, and our curtains). So, without any further delay, the before and the after: BEFORE: GLORIOUS AFTER: BECAUSE I AM SO PROUD: Things rarely get finished in a 20/10 or 45/15. It usually...

Kitchen unfucked!

mathematicianfashion: I have been insanely busy with school, as it nears the end of the semester. I had two exams last week, two this week, and lots of homework due in the meantime. I took one 45/15 and cleaned this bitch up! The dishwasher had clean dishes in it since … last Friday. Therefore, the sink was completely full. I usually rinse off my dishes when I’m finished with them, if the...

beezelbubbles replied to your post: hufflepug replied to your post: Hi, I’ve just… FYI, I could swear I saw a magic eraser mop at Target the other day. … A check of Amazon says it exists, but the reviews aren’t great. It exists, but it’s not the same.

logicdoesnotexist replied to your post: Hi, I’ve just discovered Magic Erasers—and wow, I’m so glad you recommended them, they’re great! On another note: How can I clean my bathroom floor?! My Swiffer ‘mop’ can’t handle it. The floor is made of little 1-inch square tiles, and it’s uneven, and there’s quite a lot of empty floorspace in my bathroom. There’s stained bits in the grout(?), which the...
