Curiosities,
ADVERTIsem*nT
'Things designed by people who don't have to clean them' is one of those Facebook group names that are specific enough to let you know what to expect but at the same time maintain a layer of vagueness that makes it hard to imagine what the content will look like exactly.
To illustrate this point, we at Bored Panda made a few publications about it which you can still find here and here.
But as time went on, this online community has kept active and successfully avoided Facebook's ban hammer, so we decided it was time for an update. Continue scrolling and check out the octopus sink, basem*nt beach, and other things that have recently appeared on the group.

However, unless you're a hyper-organized person, cleaning can be demotivating even if there aren't any ridiculously challenging objects. A to-do list of chores is often the opposite of fun. But unfortunately, we all have to pick up after ourselves. So to make it slightly less painful, here are 10 tips that will pretty much trick you into tidying up. From little strategies that allow you to bypass the part of your brain that wants to procrastinate, to "lifehacks" that'll save you plenty of time, these shortcuts might be just what you need to keep your home in a liveable condition.

1. Play music. The same thing that can motivate you during a workout can also get you cleaning. For example, find (or make) a 30-minute-long playlist and get challenge yourself to keep scrubbing and vacuuming until the music is up. ADVERTIsem*nT Often it will get you into such a good mood, you'll want to keep up the good work even after the last song finishes.

2. Set a timer. This one is similar to the playlist trick, but if you don't have the opportunity to blast your favorite jams, promise yourself you'll try to put in the work for at least a short length of time (20 minutes always seems manageable) and see what happens then. Again, give yourself complete permission to stop after the timer goes off, as long as you remain focused during those 20 minutes.

Victorian Era Glass Feeding Bottle For Infants
These bottles became known as “murder bottles” and were a breeding ground for bacteria. They became a leading cause of infant death because they were so difficult to clean.
Anne-Marie Boring Report
Final score:

Wonderful Wonderful Community Member Follow
We take for granted plastics and rubber and all that in between. Just imagine you have a kid and can't breastfeed for some reason and it's 1884. There weren't many options for babies. I heard before bottles like he use now they would soak a rag in milk or use clay pots with tiny spouts. I'd rather use this glass bottle more than a clay pot you can't see into. It's pretty crazy when you think about how much we have advanced in the last 100 plus years. So many babies and moms dying back then.

3. Put just one thing back in its rightful place. So you're walking through the living room and all of a sudden you spot a dirty glass on the coffee table. Don't let it stay there, just take it to the kitchen where it belongs and it'll help minimize the pile-up of messes. Accomplishing a small task can remind you how painless the job you've been putting off actually is in reality. Also, don't underestimate how many little actions can add up. It's a nice habit to develop.

The Side Of My Toilet…
Whyyyy wouldn’t it be just plain flat? With all the condensation in a bathroom and lint/dust from towels and clothes this is just dumb. Not that hard to clean, but totally unnecessary, doesn’t even look good…

4. Reward yourself. Do not go for that snack until you've accomplished something. This way you're motivated to get the job done because there's something awesome waiting for you as soon as you're done. ADVERTIsem*nT It's also much easier to relax and enjoy whatever it is you want when there's no guilt of inaction hanging over your shoulders.

5. Do one small task a day. Don't try to clean like it's 1965, it's just not reasonable to spend the entire day on polishing your home. But if you assign one small chore to each day of the week, by Sunday you'll be lounging in your (pretty much) spotless abode.

6. Have a friend come over to help. It might be hard to get them there, but if you promise some beers and pizza, at least a few should oblige. And before you know it, you'll be chatting while cleaning out your closet and you'll probably be able to get rid of a lot of stuff. Second opinions are what save many people from becoming hoarders.

7. Acknowledge your weakness. Some of us can't get up in the morning without hitting the snooze button seventeen times. But if you can't get dressed without leaving a mountain of clothes on the sofa, admit this tiny flaw, then accommodate. In this case, put a small chair for your pile to sit on. This will at least limit the mess and keep the stuff from spreading all over the place.

9. Use a trigger. A trigger is an action that spurs a result. (Such as having to have a scotch when you watch Mad Men.) If you always load the dishwasher after you have your cup of coffee, it'll become automatic behavior. Or, at least a cup of coffee will always push you towards cleaning.

So many birds nests will happen unless they have a guy sneaking around with a trashcan lid and a spatula to scare them away. What salary do you pay a guy for them to do that 24/7? Then you have to hire other sneaky trashcan spatula ppl to cover breaks and 40 hr work week. No overtime. That's gonna be a lot of ppl you need to pay because your house is dumb.

Some of those items are legit but others frankly can be cleaned quite easily if taken apart slightly or rinced. And they're not all equal... who needs a perfectly clean dust free lampshade all of the time ? Unless they have allergies, people can live with a bit of dust around them (the bathrooms are absolutely disguting though)
