Bacteria is what smells, so this makes sense. And probably best to use on as needed basis.

You might get similar result with a soap that has tea tree oil.

Drying off completely before dressing might also be part of the solution.

Use clean towels when you want to be clean.

Use the same moldy towel all week if you do NOT want to be clean.

They have a 100 count of cremated remains labels for free too. I kind of want to get them…. I don’t know what for though.

I can't say even the hardest of working days I get out of the shower and feel/think I still smell... Is this common?

Just go to a grocery store they're just going to bin them anyway

I just learned the name to how I clean sometimes... RAGE CLEANING!

I didn't know it was a thing..lol

A cordless vacuum has helped me so much. I didn’t think the cord was holding me back, but apparently it was. So easy to just grab it and zip through a room while I’m waiting for coffee to brew or whatever!

As someone still in a live-in relationship after 33 years and 3 children, please do what the Eggplant says.

Very early in our relationship, he said in an exasperated tone "Why don't you clean the shower? Can't you see it's dirty?".

My very pragmatic response was "No. I don't see that it's dirty. I'm blind as a bat, and I don't wear my glasses in the shower".

He does cleaning.

I cook, but only do dishes each morning after breakfast. He's OK with that. He doesn't like the way I hang laundry, so he does that.

So yeah, sit down and work out a chore split that works for each person.

What material are your countertops?

We had cheap countertops in our last place. We primed them, painted them with standard paint, added some paint chips for texture, then poured epoxy on them and let it harden. They turned out really good for a cheap DIY project. We were also prepared though to pay someone to replace them had the epoxy not set right.

>don't put it down, put it away.

Often known as the OHIO method: Only Handle It Once.

If my husband puts his dirty dishes in an empty sink instead of the dirty dishwasher and I then have to add them to the dishwasher to start the load, he's essentially DOUBLING the labor we have to do to maintain the dishes. These small acts add up.

Offer to do the deeper cleaning, weekly stuff, like moping, vacuuming, windows, etc...

I'm a daily cleaner too, but I hate deep cleaning.

If you can afford it have a cleaner in every week or every fortnight

Rage cleaning…yeah, I scared my husband the first time I did that near him.

Cleaning up immediately is objectively better unless you have something urgently important that you should do instead.

The dishes? Clean them immediately and the food just washes right off. Clean them hours later means you need to do extra work getting the dried on food off.

Putting things away immediately after you’re done with them means they are out of the way and you know exactly where to find them when you need it next. Your house is more enjoyable to live in and you can invite guests over without worrying about cleaning before they show up.

You notice the time it takes to clean and organize (which you have to do now or later), but you don’t notice the small amounts of time wasted doing extra work because things are waiting around for you to clean. Individually those things don’t seem like a lot of wasted time but it adds up. And what are you gaining by waiting?

I would have guessed you were social, seems like you know how to talk to people in difficult situations! Thanks for your input :)
