Under no set of circumstances will I ever live without a dishwasher again.
I have found no mark on anything I have put in there and its results are much much better than I ever achieved when I washed up by hand. And I fucking wanted my stuff clean as heck so its not for want of trying. Want of skill? Maybe.

I absolutely need to clean today. I feel gross and the apartment feels gross.
I did a bit of dishes and am trying to get off my butt to pick the clothes off the floor in my room. While my boyfriend snores in a mound of blankets.
Happy Valentines Day!

Janson do you know a proper way to clean makeup brushes, by the way? I think I am doing it wrong and I kinda don't wanna ruin my expensive brushes
Baby shampoo. or MAC brush cleaner, it's like 10 bucks for a giant bottle.
Always tilt down when you wash, so you don't get water up into the silver part and rot the glue. Deep cleaning once a week, spot cleaning when you feel necessary. Shape when wet and dry flat, preferably on a towel so the bristles aren't touching anything.
There are plenty of tutorials on youtube, but this is just a step by step of what I do:
1. I spray my Sephora brush cleaner on them, put under tepid water, get soapy and swirl on a paper towel. I repeat til it's clean.
2. Rinse and squeeze out excess water.
3. Shape and dry.
Mmmmm, a new apartment. Pristine and unsullied. Now begins the long decay into the dump that my old place was. Every time I walk in the door I stop and think, "It will never look this good ever again."
Oh fooey. Our house got messy again overnight. Godsdamn it. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN.
I used to tell my mum it was faeries when I was a kid. She didn't fall for it.
Having a cat is an constant cleaning problem, those roller brushes with the sticky tape on them are a fantastic invention for removing hairs from clothes.
Having two cats has pretty much killed my vaccum cleaning. I'm going to need something with a bit more...oomph.
My apartment is generally pretty clean. Cluttered, from time to time (more so in the bedroom) but never that bad. It can't be. Small space living means it has to be clean or fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
I think you're better off with clutter and fire hazard than mold/dirt/food mess/biohazard. I've had roommates of both kinds and I FAR prefer stacks of books, clothes and papers to ashtrays full of moldy leftovers, petrified milk in glasses and intelligent life developing in the shower.
Oh fooey. Our house got messy again overnight. Godsdamn it. HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN.
I know! After the big 4 hour clean up (for, what, a 150 sq ft apartment? I mean this place is seriously tiny) on Friday I've just spent an hour today tidying and cleaning, and I just ran a hand along one of the shelves and it's already covered in dust!

Yes! And small spaces are also harder to keep clean in the sense that you have just one or two things out of place and it looks a mess.

my favorite instance of drunken hijinks was neville's birthday
everyone got destroyed that night
i was drunk and high out of my mind and helped keep a cat together all night until like 4
i fell asleep and got woke up by neville
he needed my help immediately. our one roommate from ohio walked to his doorway, dropped his pants and neville looked on, dazed and confused
and started pissing all over his floor
after cleaning up two literal buckets full of puke that night, i was so goddamn tired but it had to be done. we had to take care of that piss that started in the hallway and ended on nevs' floor
it was a good thing neville got a shamwow for his birthday
i think our only response the following that morning after was "what the fuck happened"
and "ryan is banned from drinking in this house"
Don't forget about Ryan blaming ME for the incident, since I told him to "drink with us" :S
Logic: :arrow:

.. coincidentally, I did get a haircut (and color) today.
But yeah, I got rid of my last av, needed a change back to the moogle bodysuit.
Cleaning my room is tough. It's never dirty (I'm a gay, for heaven sakes) but the last place I lived there was a TON of space. This house...not so much.
After living in a place for 10 years, one accrues... things.
So I have a ton of furniture, clothes, dishes, etc... and moved into a house which needs much less.
Probably moving into a new and super nice house in a few months when our lease here is up, so hopefully I'll have more room to spread out my stuff.

Oh man.
My damn apartment.
Clean for like three weeks at a time, and then for a week it's a total disaster.
Studio apartments are awesome when it comes to cleaning since the less surface area the less cleaning there is to do. It's a great idea, unless you have people over often.
Because the couch people sit on is also your bed. ...Awkward. But on the flip side that makes it easier to get the ladies into your bed <winky>
My fridge is full of empty pizza boxes, empty soda 12 packs, empty Corona 6 packs, empty plastic water cases, no more than three half full plastic containers of "mystery sludge", half a container of ranch dip, and some Hilshire farms lil smokies.
Is this considered messy?

Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.
I'll get on a cleaning frenzy about once a month, but the fireplace seems to always have ash in it. After a few weeks of no fires I cleaned it out only to have another fire the day after. Screw it, it's not getting cleaned until May.

that I have solved by resolving to own almost nothing. at its messiest my place takes about 5 minutes to clean.
step 1: turn shower on
step 2: there is no step 2 shower is now clean
everything goes in the toilet
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.

I'm sitting here like 'I cleaned you yesterday'
Was there something that happened after the valentines meal? :winky:
Steam: Feriluce
Battle.net: Feriluce#1995
But when I do finally get off my ass to do shit I usually do a damn thorough job. There is something really satisfying about a clean domicile.
R.I.P.
we both got very drunk
I can only assume she trashed the place
its a lot better than before
and I was all
'uhh, I did'
Do you actually, like, shower in your shower? Just running water over it doesn't wash off all the soap scum and all the dirt that accumulates in it.

like the rings? or do you put your empties in the fridge?
in related news what the fuck is wrong with you take out your trash
My fridge situation honestly didn't bother me until now. No clue what the hell I was thinking.
I defer to being a young bachelor...
