No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I've just swept and mopped. Once the floor dries, I could easily go sweep again and turn up more dust and dirt. If I were to mop again, I'm almost certain the water in my bucket would be filthy. It feels like it's never actually clean.

Beyond that, there's dusting, cleaning windows, sinks, countertops, bathrooms, and probably things I don't even consider. How do you all stay on top of these things?

How to create mental illness 101.

robot vacuum that runs every day and I have a couple of air filters. They work well picking up some airborne dust.

I got the side table from Ikea which have a built in air filter. And I put that in the corner of my seating group.

I've been thinking of getting 1 or 2 of those Ikea air filters, how loud are they when they run? Anything you wish you'd known before getting it?

Part of the reason I downsized and bought a condo was to reduce the amount of time I spend doing "house" stuff. I just try to clean things as I go so that I don't have specific cleaning days.

Like the cleaning of a house... It Never Ends. Robot vacuum once every other day. Try to get to physical vacuuming of stairs etc. once a week along with cleaning toilets etc. Actual mopping of floors maybe once every two months? It is clean enough not clean.

Change your air filter, check for dusty air ducts.

Do you just sweep with a broom? A good vacuum cleaner is a lot more thorough. And if you mopp right after there's a better chance to get most of the dust.

The other question is where the dirt is ultimately coming from. Most notably rom outside via air movement and shoes, but also consider shedded hair and skin from humans & pets, dropped food crumbs, lints from textiles and any hobbies/activities.

I like to avoid any "dust catcher" objects like carpets or rugs. In the end it's a tradeoff between how clean you want it to be and how much time you're willing to invest.

What do you have on your floors? Just bare floors?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

floors are made out of poly vinyl chloride. not super pretty but quite smooth on the surface which equates to easier cleaning. anything that has ruts in it like wooden planks or ceramic tiles is going to be harder to clean
