Emergency cleaning: Unfuck your whole house in the shortest time possible

So, your landlord/parents/home inspector/favorite movie star is dropping by, and your place is a disaster. You don’t have much time to clean it up. You’re in emergency mode. Let’s get started.

Don’t panic. Panic leads to fear, fear leads to procrastination, procrastination leads to the dark side. You can do this, but you have to stay calm.

Unlike maintenance cleaning, we’re not looking to completely unfuck one space at a time. Instead, we want to decrease the overall mess in stages, spread evenly across the whole area that we’re concerned about. If you think your home is at Level 10 filth, we want to bring the whole thing down to a Level 9, and then down from there. One really clean spot in an otherwise messy home is not going to be helpful here.

Get prepared. You’ll want to shut the computer down (or turn the modem off if you need your computer to play music). Trust me. Get your music going. Gather up trash bags, your vacuum and mop, some rags or paper towel, sponges, and other cleaning supplies. Use what you have on hand. Don’t get distracted running to the store and spending an hour browsing cleaning supplies. A multi-purpose cleaning concentrate or a jug of vinegar will be just fine.

Breaks are very important. Depending on your time constraints, work in 20/10s (20 minutes working, 10-minute break) or 45/15s. But take breaks because otherwise you’re marathoning, and marathon cleaning is no one’s friend. Keep hydrated, don’t forget to eat, and check in with yourself frequently to make sure you’re physically doing OK.

Make your bed. This will be your home base if you get overwhelmed or need somewhere clear to take a break.

Start with the garbage. Going from room to room, throw out anything that is obvious trash. Once you fill a bag, take it out. Repeat as many times as necessary.

Move on to dishes. Gather the dishes from all over your house and bring them to the kitchen. If you can, start them soaking in a sink of hot, soapy water or start loading the dishwasher. After the dishes are all in one place, spend one 20/10 getting started getting them under control.

Now it’s time for your flat surfaces. Countertops, tables, dresser tops, etc. Clear them off and wipe them down. Don’t get distracted in too much sorting and organizing. We’re in crisis mode here. There will be time to get in-depth once this is all done. The same applies to cabinets and closets. Unless you have reason to believe people will be opening closed doors, leave these alone for now.

Attack the floordrobe and shoe pile. Get your clothes either put away or in the hamper. Start a load of laundry if you need to, but keep in mind that laundry and dishes have three steps: wash, dry, and put it away, goddammit!

Get random stuff up off the floors. If something is trash-worthy, throw it away now rather than just move it around a bunch of times. Otherwise, put stuff where it belongs.

Take another 20/10 or 45/15 to catch up on more dishes, if needed.

Head into the bathroom. Pour some cleaner in the toilet bowl, fill the sink with hot water and cleaner, and either spray the tub and shower with cleaner, or fill the tub up with some hot water and add cleaner and let it soak. Put everything away that’s out and shouldn’t be, clean the mirror, counters, and toilet seat. Sweep or dry mop the floor. Wipe down the sink and tub/shower, and give the toilet bowl a scrub. Mop the floor.

Sweep and mop the kitchen floor.

Vacuum everything you can, and sweep everything you can’t.

Walk outside of your house (don’t lock yourself out, please). Walk back in and see what catches your eye first. Go and deal with that.

If you’re being inspected or your landlord is coming in for repairs, spend time on whatever area they’ll be focusing on.

Give the whole place one more once-over and pay attention to anything you’ve missed so far.

It’s an old trick, but if your place is a little funky-smelling, put a pan of water on the stove on low heat and add some citrus or cinnamon or vanilla. Don’t leave it unattended or forget about it.

Take a shower, put on something clean, and eat something.

You can do this. It’s overwhelming, yes, but it is not impossible. You just need to do it. You have a list. You have directions. You have a whole bunch of Internet strangers who have been there before and who are cheering you on. You can do this, but you need to get started.

Why are you still here? GO. START. NOW.

So you DO

"Do you like this character?🥺?" I want to see him sobbing and writhing in a ditch. Leave me alone

Me too :)

but I haven't had them at the same time yet

Being kind isn't actually about how much shit you can quietly take. You can be kind and still shut down people who attempt to use and manipulate you. Kindness is about treating others well whenever you can, not about how much you're willing to suffer for others. So don't confuse being kind with being a victim and a pushover. No one with your best interests at heart will claim that it's the same thing.

Michael Underscore-Beloved becomes a rapper. After a semi-successful rap career he decides he wants to start a band with the other kids of the SMP. He's the lead singer and guitarist, but sometimes he plays the drums when one of the others want to take the spotlight.

Michelle and Shroud put together most of the costumes with input from Finley and Junior (no Shroud you can't wear see through shorts). Michelle was the first to sing on her own and has done so the most apart from Michael. She can play the saxophone, the cello, the drums and guitar. Fans often ship her and Michael together which they both find hilarious.

Shroud usually has a new boyfriend or girlfriend each week, but his most recent boyfriend has lasted about two months so far.

Finley and Shroud are the main dancers, but they also sing sometimes. Finley sings more than Shroud but most often they sing together as backing vocals. Finley can play the flute.

Yoghurt does the lighting and sound and also puts together the music videos with help from Foolish Jr, their manager. Yoghurt is really insecure about their voice but when they did sing in a music video everyone loved it so they've been trying to gather the courage to do it again and eventually do so in front of a live audience.

Junior has never been in a music video because he isn't a good singer or dancer, but he does know how money works which the others (except Michelle) do not. He does interviews and everyone thinks he's really sweet because they can see how much he cares about the rest.

Their first album consisted of mostly Michael as lead because there others were still a bit unsure but there are a couple of duets mostly of Michael and Michelle or Michelle and Finley. Michelle and Finley both did solo songs and Finley's was one of those mainstream catchy pop songs and Michelle's was a country rock. Shroud was always backing and everyone expected him to stay that way, until one concert, when all the others left Shroud alone on stage with the piano that had been snuck on at some point during the last song. The crowd was confused until he started playing on it at which point they all collectively lost their minds.

They usually write the songs together as a group, though there are exceptions, such as Shroud's Song which he wrote for his dad (Tommy cried).

Ofc all their parents are proud of them, but Tubbo and Ranboo are more used to it and give Michael his independence (but they do wish he'd visit more) and Puffy is much the same. Tommy cries everytime they leave home to go on tour and has all their merch, initially he'd tried to go with them but Shroud told him it would be cringe and Tommy Innit is never cringe. Fundy always helps with sound and lighting when Yoghurt asks for it. Tommy calls him cringe and Fundy tells him to shut up because he cries whenever Shroud goes to the cornerstore. Foolish always makes a point to check in with his kids and niece whenever they end up working in the same servers.
