silentmoviee asked: Cat urine in carpet. Please help me. Also, the person who lived in the apartment before me had a cat, and I think this cat used to pee on the carpet (which is only in the downstairs area of this apartment, by the front door) so now my cat is peeing there and I really need this to stop. I tried some carpet cleaning sprays, etc, but my cat is still doing it! There is also no way to keep my cat away...

falafelsareyourfriend asked: Hi there! Just wondering if you have any little tips for unfucking a computer? Mine is so cluttered and disorganised that even if the entire rest of my house is unfucked I can't relax because it's sitting on my desk terrorising me. Help!

cijithgeek-deactivated20121104 asked: Hey UFYH! I just moved into a place that was empty for about 6 months after the previous resident passed away. I gave it a good once over but things like cobwebs keep popping up, and there are these little bug/flies/gnats that gather and die on the window sills. I only open windows that have screens, and I don't have food in the pantry, so I can't imagine where these bugs are coming...
I stayed at a friend’s house for the last night of my vacation this weekend, and in lieu of a hostess gift, I took her to Target to stock her up on cleaning supplies, and then I cleaned her jacuzzi (Cascade and bleach with hot water, run for 15 minutes, then cold water plain for 15 minutes).
I think it was a fair trade for a comfy bed and a couple of good meals!

onlysmallwings asked: Thanks to this, I unpacked my suitcases, did all the travel laundry, put it away, and didn't stress out over it. One bag at a time, one load at a time, slow and easy steps. I was done well before I thought I would be by breaking it down and going slowly. Thanks, pal!

femme-in-floral asked: Why did you reblog someone's thinspo/"fitness" blog? I mean I didn't really check out the content too much, but just seeing names like "thinnerisstronger" can be triggering for some folks.

After a way too long hiatus (a week due to health stuff, and a week because I lost all motivation. I managed to get back on my cleaning horse. I did two of my bathroom walls, but my biggest success was the window in there, I hate cleaning windows, so very much but I did it. Before:
After:
I came so very close to marathoning after this, but stopped because all I could...

vitrifyinghearts asked: I had a really severe bout of depression after my Dad died this year and my entire house shows it, but coming off of 6 months of "I don't give a fuck about myself" is pretty hard. It feels the mess is a reminder of how bad I let myself get this time and I just want it gone, but at the same time it's overwhelming. I just discovered your blog and was wondering, do you have a good...

startledoctopus asked: I have a friend who sometimes accidentally melds the name of your tumblr with "Go Fug Yourself," and says "gofuckyourhabitat." It always makes me laugh because that's pretty much how I feel about my habitat right now. Any advice on cleaning "orange peel" textured walls? Stubborn blind dirt? Moving out soon, and I would like my room to be sparkling!

squidward-sheeran:
so the marathon cleaning thing isn’t going to work. i’m jjust going to keep napping.
how about i just do one thing at a time, take a break, do another thing, and it’ll start adding up.
maybe i’ll even do 20/10s. no pressure at first. i just have to do one thing, and then another after a break.
it’s seriously better than sitting here and doing nothing.
Make your bed!
Excuses are boring.

theshamblehouse asked: Can you please remind me inner cleaning demon that the flu is reasonable grounds to let things slide for a few days? I keep trying to tidy up and then getting exhausted and falling asleep instead of just washing the dishes and other important things like that.
Make your bed!
