Cleaning

Low-fuss, mostly non-toxic cleaning for a small, humid San Francisco apartment: simple DIY recipes, a Friday reset, and products that earn their cabinet space.

San Francisco apartments run damp, and mildew is a real thing here, so cleaning means moisture control as much as scrubbing. I lean on simple DIY recipes (vinegar, Castile soap, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide) in refilled bottles, a weekly Friday reset, and a short list of store-bought staples that have proven they belong under the sink. Low-fuss, mostly non-toxic, and built for a renter.
