We get it. You’re men and men don’t clean as often. But as toxic this perception of masculinity is for you, it’s worse for your living space. In fact, if we’re getting real honest here, it’s terrible for your love life as well, because let’s be frank, no girl wants to come back to a place that smells like piss!
So, if you want to have a good rep with the ladies and become a functional, ‘clean’ human being, you might want to take a look at these cleanup hacks for your bachelor pad.
What’s that Smell?
Over the years, scientific research has found out that our body odor is an indicator of our health, kinship and even relationship status! Based on those findings; further studies show that single males have a stronger — and by extension more stinky — body odor than partnered males. This is a sign of higher testosterone levels. As “manly” as that sounds, it can be a real problem if you forego regular wash-ups and laundry cycles.
So, start by hitting the shower! Once you’ve cleaned up your person, you’ll be able to visualize how dirty your pad actually is.
The next step into your detox is to open all the windows and possible openings to air the place out. Make sure you do this when the pollen count is low to avoid a bad case of allergies.
Once you’ve let some fresh air in, soak a cotton ball in a pleasant scent and toss it in the vacuum bag to deodorize the place as you clean up.
The Dish on Dishes
It’s a fact universally acknowledged that nobody likes to do the dishes, and if we’re guessing right, you either don’t own a dishwasher or one of your roommates broke it in the first month that you moved in and you haven’t bothered replacing it. In either case, doing the dishes is a nightmare and you’re probably eating take-out straight out of the take-out boxes; but is that how you want to live?
Maybe.
But you shouldn’t!
Start small if you don’t want to be overwhelmed. Delegate the tasks and start cleaning! For a murky coffee maker, throw in a cup of vinegar, let it sit for 30 minutes and rinse it out.
For your dirty pots and pans, rub ketchup on to them and then rinse with warm water.
Lastly, call someone in to fix the dishwasher So it’s easier for you to do the dishes!
