You are lucky to have a woman who likes to keep things clean. My woman does not and our home is a complete embarrassment.

Mate, you're asking the internet for a pro tip about pissing when you have the best pro tips taking care of you.
Ask your RN how how they can help or provide education. Legit. That's what they are there for!

Not in my world. That can go south very quickly. AND it still puts the onus on the girlfriend.

Understand there isn't one right way; if you want to show love her way, take responsibility and don't see it as "helping". Also train each other to say thank you when they notice something was done.

Maybe ask her if she thinks a roomba type vacuum would be useful. I bought a knockoff one about 2 years ago and it works great, super helpful to me. It doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles but it vacuums well and that’s what is important to me. My partner is not a help big with house work and I was feeling like a maid sometimes. He is fantastic otherwise so I decided to find ways to simplify things for myself instead of letting resentment build up. I also bought a countertop dishwasher and it has been a lifesaver, since I cook a lot. And if you don’t have one yet, look into getting an airfryer. These 3 items were worth every penny since they save me about 3-4 hours daily between cooking and cleaning

Make a schedule and divide up the chores.

One option you could try is to soak the down jacket in a solution of warm water and baking soda. This can help to neutralize odors. You can also try using a laundry detergent that specifically targets odors. Additionally, you could consider using an enzyme-based cleaner to help break down the sweat molecules that are causing the odor. Finally, you may want to consider airing out your jacket outside or in a well-ventilated area to help the smell dissipate.

I stopped using laundry softener in the washing machine and instead I add some white vinegar.

It can help to begin with something to focus on the subject. My mother has less trouble if she knows the general topic. Introduce less common words upfront.

Im laying in bed, cant move and do not own a vagina as mentioned by mentioning my sexe as male. Thanks for the tip though.

Instead of putting your hand in warm water try getting a water bottle of some kind and running warm water over your vagina while sitting on the toilet.

Ask her what things bother her the most.
For example those dishes: why does she feel the need to do them immediately? Is it because she is bothered by the dirty dishes cluttering up the kitchen, or because she doesn't want to do everything all at once at the end of the day when she is already tired?
(Also a dishwasher is a great solver for this specific problem, but I know that is not always a possibility)
By finding out why she does things a certain way, you might start to understand her better, which may help in you being able to see the house through her eyes and picking things up a little quicker.

Reply to LPT Request: How to successfully remove dog poo stains and smell from your carpet? by Rebel2theGrave
When dealing with pet stains, you need to use an enzymatic cleaner. Soak the stain with the cleaner and let it sit a while so the enzymes can break down the source of the odor.
