I have four pillows on my bed and I’m throwing out two today. A year ago I got two memory foam ones but just added them in the ix with the cheapest pillows at Target from like 2015? I don’t want four pillows cluttering my bed anymore and if I end up missing them I just need to buy new pillows.

I unfucked the kitchen and now I’m late to bed and Ponder has been informed that we are setting up the next compost bin tomorrow. I refuse to keep throwing out perfectly good compostable food scraps.

This is gross, but: How to get fart smell out of a couch that does not belong to us? And is light colored fabric so I’m terrified of staining it or else I’d just douse it in Nature’s Miracle?
Boyfriend has a flatulence issue; our own couch totally smells like fart on his side and I do periodically douse the cushions in Nature’s Miracle. Those are bare cushions with a slipcover so no harm done if they get discolored or whatever, plus it is ours. But now we’re in this temporary furnished sublet, and I was lying down on the very nice and probably $$$ light gray couch last night and got a WHIFF. Ugh.
Suggestions of how to get the smell out without staining? Febreze, maybe? I hate chemicals and fake fragrances but could do it once we’re moving out.

Set out in the sun maybe?

If the cushion comes off, maybe that would work? I don’t think we can carry the whole couch out the door.
Hm, if the cushion comes off I’ll probably just flip it before we leave. Didn’t think of that. It’s early.

White vinegar/water spray? The vinegar smell will dissipate when it’s fully dry.

You could also test patch some baking soda and vacuum it up, that’s common for odor removal then you don’t risk liquid stain marks. I personally wouldn’t chance liquids on a couch that wasn’t mine.

Yeah, this is my concern. I could spot test somewhere but… again, not mine and I don’t want to pay to replace a couch.

The baking soda idea is a good one. As is the sunshine.
But if you can stand the smell of Febreeze while it dries, it works wonders.

I’m assuming this is a drink suggestion

That just almost turned into a “polar lime seltzer” spray based on bad sip and read timing

Today I cleaned out the fridge and removed and washed the shelves. Much better.

Who wants some gross before and after pics? I finally got around to switching the filters on my air purifiers, which probably hadn’t been changed in a year or two 
Each picture includes a new filter and an old filter. You can probably guess which is which!

Favourite cleaning/ un-fuck-it songs or playlists? Please note if you use it while cleaning alone or with kids, I need music for both scenarios!
Yes I’m channelling Mary Poppins. Singing makes the shit happen.
