So I had to make a decision

Air Fryer or Shark Steam cleaner

I opted for the steam cleaner.

I followed the advice of a sibling and mixed baking soda, peroxide and dishwashing liquid and water - spread it all over the floor with a broom, left it for 30 minutes and then steamed and wiped.

These tan tiles now look brand new.

And out of the blue, my wife bought one. I had no idea that these even existed, or that we needed one.

put a bit, a tsp or so, of dishsoap, or dishwasher soap, in a spray bottle w water. dishsoap for greasy stuff, dw soap for protein stains. spray heavily, let sit for a while.
if it’s rly grimy, use a stronger solution. but the trick is to let it sit.
the work is half done when the steamer starts.

for wood surfaces, use an oil based soap. murphy’s or an olive oil soap.
for tile, i like a little ascorbic acid, aka vit c. u can buy it by the bucket, cheaply. it does anything white vinegar can do. it’s strong tho, so b careful. and dont leave the solution in the spray bottle. the springs will rot.

great for bird cages, too.

Bacon in less than 10 minutes and much easier clean up afterwards. Wife has now begun using it for bread and many other things. Shit I will buy you one for Christmas. Air Fryer could make your life more efficient with plenty of time left over for cleaning tiles. haha

Or even DUing something.

The thing is that I don’t ear red meat or pork so there goes the bacon.
Thanks but I have way too much stuff😀

The steamer now - that cleans really fast.

they both love to use our kitchen. I have to admit some of their stuff is very good. Fake meat now is nearly indistinguishable from the real stuff with the proper fix-ins. I just can't make the leap. A bridge to far I suppose.
