I would tell my husband to look around using my eyes. His challenge was to pretend my eyes were in his head and he had to find what needed to be done. For context, he was a SAHD and I worked, so he had the lion’s share of the housework (we had a cleaning lady for the hard core cleaning; he just did day-to-day and picking up). For us, that seemed to work and also amused us.

There's a spray called "zero odor" that's worth its weight in gold. Remove the offending matter and give it a spray and the smell will go away. I find it better than enzymatic sprays. Bed bath and beyond used to sell it.

1. Hydrogen peroxide, allow to soak, blot, more hydrogen peroxide, allow to soak, SHOUT stain remover, wash, dry
2. If that doesn't work,,, brake cleaner, allow to dry, spray of SHOUT stain remover, wash, dry.

Try peroxide and cold water but it’s probably pretty settled

My wife and I are similar to your situation. One thing i've found to help me is to use what i call the commercial method. We use Hulu a lot so we got the subscription with commercials same as Youtube. When i watch something every commercial that comes on I get up and look for 1 thing to do. It doesn't seem like much when you are doing it but after 2 hours and 4 commercials i had swept and mopped each room downstairs. It's cleaning but at 5-10 minute intervals while i am watching a show i enjoy.

That's so crazy. Vinegar and baking soda neutralize odors. Remove all kinds of stains. It's literally the go to. Have you tried like laundry stain remover?

As a swimmer, I remember last year being so frustrated when I could barely run half a mile without being winded, which was illogical given I could swim a mile without the same problem. Then I realized I was basically taking in too much oxygen and not expelling enough, cuz swimmers and runners breath differently. Who knew 😅

Leaving a sport after training for so long is hard no matter what. I will say that the biggest challenge that surprised me was getting used to is not being on a team -- I played an individual sport all my life and yet this was still the most difficult (emotionally, mentally) as you lose that bond and support system that only sports/teammates/coaches can give you.

Stay active on your own terms (which is a positive, but watch out for body dysmorphia), explore new hobbies because you're going to have so much more free time, and look for a community that supports and pushes you! Whether it's friends or a group for a hobby/activity. Ex-college athletes often love beer leagues for kickball or softball, or pick up something radically different. I run and lift ~5x/week, I have friends who coach kids in their sports as a side hustle, we've done fun things we've always wanted to try but never had time to, etc.

One thing I will emphasize though is that there is definitely a period of identity crisis and changes in body/self image. Don't get too down and remind yourself that you are entering a new, different chapter! Your body is still strong and capable! Enjoy and congratulations.

Use white vinegar! Add a half a cup or so to your wash water and it'll nuke that sweat smell!

Nothing dries up a pussy faster than having to be your partners mom. Yeesh.

Try scrubbing it with salt and cold water.

You gotta ask around. If you know anyone who uses one, ask them for their cleaners info. Or just keep an eye out for any neighbors that are having a cleaner come. You can go introduce yourself and ask for their contact info. That’s how I found mine.

I read this as how to get sweet smell out of clothes.

Borax soak, wash as usual, vinegar rinse.

Easy fix, don't go to restaurants that don't pay their staff well.

The problem with us is when we’ve had a house cleaner we got extremely messy cause we knew she’d pick it I up next time. This doesn’t always work out. We’re way cleaner when it’s up to us.

Everyone is different though!

What do you mean?

I wonder if this copypasta will be posted yet again before the end of the month.
