FOUND: Horrible to clean things - What They Never Told You
Cleaning is a never-ending part of life. Between doing the dishes, vacuuming, and wiping down counters, there’s always something that needs attention.
Eventually, you kind of get used to it. Sure, the clean clothes might sit in a chair for three days before getting folded, but most people at least try to stay tidy.
However, certain household objects seem to have been designed without taking it into account. So, whether you’re shopping for a toilet or kitchen cabinets, consider this list a reminder that you need to think about all the possible dust and dirt prior to swiping your credit card.
The subreddits r/HardToClean and r/HorribleToClean are full of examples that make everyday chores far harder than they should be.

These things are designed to be cleaned. Like, that's RIDICULOUSLY easy to clean...but it requires someone to do it, which the company won't pay for because "no one's looking that close."

I'm disappointed that they didn't paint the walls in a wide vertical stripe pattern (like a beach cabana), as in the episode of Trading Spaces where they ruined a room by covering the floor with sand. (Mind you, a full wall realistic mural of the ocean would be ideal. But stripes are easier!)

I Love This Gothic Kitchen, But Imagine The Greasy Kitchen Dust That Would Build Up Everywhere
Paul C. 2 hours ago
I once fitted new vinyl in a woman's kitchen. Slipped when I first walked in on the old flooring. Then realised everything in the room had a layer of grease on it from where she used a deep fat fryer for every single meal she cooked! Did the floor and got out as quick as I could.

This Glass Dragon Sculpture From A Garage Sale
quentariel 1 hour ago
To be honest, we couldn't have any kind of art if we only think from the cleaning perspective. Every statue would be a rectangle or a blob without any divots, every painting without any impasto or covered with glass/resin layer. This is a freaking glass statue, a decoration. Mostly it needs just simple dusting now and then. And deeper cleaning isn't that hard with a simple soft brush, water and something like dish washing liquid.
