Seems like all I do is move dirt around on surfaces. I can never seem to actually get anything clean and sparkling. I've copied everything I saw my family do, but I just can't seem to clean up properly? This is actually making me depressed.

Anon post picture of the surface and the dirt you can't clean. I suspect you might have ocd and are completely bananas.

Sounds like autism, seriously.

Have you tried sacrificing a white heifer on the equinox?

Make the dirt wet first, then go at it with a rag or some other sort of soaking device. 



Is the dirt just on the floor based surfaces or it also at waist-height based surfaces? How is there dirt on the countertop? Is there dirt in your fridge?



Maybe your problem isn't cleaning, it's that youbwear your shoes in the house or you may have a dog. Do you live with chickens?

It took me years to realize a wet cloth cleans 99% of things just fine. My family always used spray cleaners for everything and it often barely worked. Even cleaning crockery, most of the time running hot water will clean it completely.

So warm water, cloth, and the last step drying with a towel. That last step often removes grime as well so don't think it's not key to the whole process.

What exactly are you trying to clean?

Learn about solvents.

There are 3 possibilities for cleaning:

>solvent

>abrasion

>moving away old dirt



If the dirt doesn't move away, probably your cloth or paper towel isn't holding the dirt enough. Try a solvent to dissolve the dirt. As the microparticles are suspended, it may absorb in to the cloth or paper towel with the solvent.

(water is the universal solvent) (causes mold tho)

Top to bottom isn't a phrase for nothing. Start on upper cabinets and shelves, the dirt falls down, then do the counters n' shit, it falls down, then the floors. Mr. Miagi when you're wiping, tiny circles. Wax on, wax off.

10% vinegar and paper towels will get you 90% of the way there, the rest is a dull blade or more abrasive rag. Alternatively multi-surface spray like 409 instead of vinigger, or goof-off. Flooring spray depends on your floors.

Shop-vac, stand-up vac, garbage bags, broom, rag-mop. I used to clean model houses. Get a degreaser if you're doing houses people cook in. And dish soap.
