fairfarmhand Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I just posted about how revolting my dishwasher was. What other things should I look at that are probably nastier than I ever imagined? If that dishwasher could sit there for ten plus years that filthy without my knowledge, what else must I be missing?

AmyontheFarm Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Don't pull out your fridge and have your husband use an air compressor on the coils, after you dusted the house that morning. :glare: Now, I have him do the fridge, the computers, the dryer and the furnace all on the same day. It takes me another day to damp dust everything in the house, but when it's all done, the house smells great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If there is any kind of gap between the cupboards and the stove stuff can get nasty in the gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 If there is any kind of gap between the cupboards and the stove stuff can get nasty in the gap. yeah, I clean that one every month or so. It's still nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I feel funny "liking" your post, Parrothead, but I agree--it's yucky. Bathroom ceiling fans can get gross,too, and so can garages when SOMEBODY KEEPS LETTING THE CAT OUT THERE TO DO HER BUSINESS!!! *ahem* Sorry 'bout that...

Bathroom ceiling fans can get gross,too, hmmmm...I'll have to check into that tomorrow. Today, I am so sore from spending 3 hours scrubbing my oven and dishwasher, I'm not up to find more grossness.

Mergath Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The insides of the glass cover thing for light fixtures you never use... insect graveyard. I don't know why they climb in there to die if I never turn the light on, but they do. Yuck. Under the keys of any laptop that gets regular usage.

Truscifi Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 We have a toaster oven on the counter in the kitchen. I pull it out every week or so to clean under/behind it, but it is still nasty even from that short a time. Also under the washer and dryer. :eek: I make dh do that one and under the fridge.

jeninok Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 We recently had to replace our toilet, we dis this ourselves as it was a Friday night and would have cost a fortune for a plumber. The toilet had been caulked when it was installed, but that had degraded. There was moisture, black nasty gunk, and silverfish all in the nasty old wax ring. That was absolutely disgusting to clean!! We made sure to sit the toilet well on the plastic shims then I stuck a couple packets of silica gel from my new shoes under there and caulked it really really well. NASTY!! The drip tray under the fridge gets really gross too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkInTheBlue Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Why in this world are you people pulling out things and places that could possibly be nasty??!! LOL Leave those babies closed or covered and what you don't know won't hurt you. ;) NOTHING in my house is nasty because you all have given me a list to NOT check. ;) J/K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 turkey bacon :ack2: :ack2: :ack2: I bought some just to try. Ick Random, but hilarious! That rubber gasket around the refrigerator door = a reservoir of blechiness. I keep up with the one in my kitchen, but the old garage fridge takes a beating from my teens.
