   I feel your pain. My gf is continuously fucking up my hard won patina. A thin layer of memories is better than a blank slate. Truth.

   You use those bleach pellet things and the shit streaks go away themselves. You just have to make sure you put a new bleach thing as soon as the mold starts to grow. And scrub off the mold as soon as it appears. Wipe down your stove every time you use it. It takes one paper towel maybe sometimes a squirt of Fantastic. This is not hard.

     Don’t brush your teeth in facing the bathroom mirror. Face another direction or go somewhere else. 90% of mirror filth is spray from brushing. For the shower, buy a scrub brush with a long handle. Keep it in the shower and whenever there’s a little bit of mold or whenever scrub it away before, during, or after showering. Any faucets that leak will cause mold to form–dry sinks and tubs stay much cleaner longer. (Call maintenance.) If you leave towels on the floor they will get moldy and require washing. If you hang them and let them air dry, they’ll be useable for quite a while. (I’ve found some people actually don’t know this.) If you keep a tiny dust pan and brush in the bathroom and kitchen it’s easy to quickly sweep up all of the hair, dust, etc. A lot easier than dragging out the vacuum cleaner. Generally speaking, if you can make cleaning convenient, it will get done more often.

     It is way easier to clean dishes immediately after using them. I use my dishwasher as a sort of wet cabinet for storing stuff I just washed, and that I regularly use. (Never turned it on.) Personally, I’m a proponent of plastic forks and paper plates for whenever I’m not eating with someone else and/or not eating something fancy. Coffee mugs and glasses are instantly cleaned with a sort of cylinder-shaped sponge on a stick available anywhere. A strict rule about never leaving anything in the sink means your kitchen is mostly clean all the time.

     Just a few things off the top of my head. There’s more.

   Are you afraid of blank slates?

   Maybe use this time to answer the “Who are you?” question.

   Have you ever thought of trying standup comedy? I think this post would work really well as part of a routine. The closing sentence made me laugh out loud.
