There’s a before-and-after bathroom cleaning post doing the rounds online at the moment, and honestly, it’s the kind of thing that makes you stop scrolling and just stare for a moment. Not because it’s particularly scandalous or political, but because it quietly touches on something a lot more human than it first appears.

The transformation itself is genuinely impressive. Whoever did the cleaning went in with gloves, a mask, magic erasers, The Pink Stuff, LA’s Totally Awesome cleaner, Comet, a scraper — an absolute arsenal — and turned what looked like a crime scene into something resembling a functional bathroom. The comments were full of well-deserved praise, and the person doing the cleaning responded with grace and good humour throughout.
