I've got a 2-year-old Golden Retriever, and honestly, I think he's secretly shedding enough to knit a whole new dog every week. I'm waging a daily war against the fluff, but I'm losing BADLY.

What are your secret weapons in the Great Dog Hair War? Do you swear by a particular brush, lint roller from the depths of Amazon, a robot vacuum that's earned its keep, or some other magical technique I haven't discovered yet? Help a fluff-covered friend(and his black clothes) out!

We may not have heard much about US' interest for Greenland lately. That doesn't mean the topic has disappeared. Here's something to keep it alive. Greenland with its population of 56K is beyond ill prepared to face the challenges headed its way. Denmark with its dysfunctional armed forces is in no position to offer much help. Isn't it about time to consider a renewed Northern Alliance? Together we'd all be much stronger to weather the changes.

Living in Finland, I appreciate clean spaces, but cleaning? Not so much. My cabinet was a testament to aspirational cleaning: dozens of bottles used maybe yearly. I challenged myself to ditch 90%. Donated unopened bottles, recycled the rest. Liberating.

Left: all-purpose cleaner, dish soap, baking soda. Then, I invested in a eufy e25 robot vacuum/mop to handle maintenance. My hope was to offload tasks I loathed most: vacuuming & mopping.

Weeks later, my home feels cleaner than with a cabinet full of products. Key: I'm maintaining cleanliness because the robot works without me thinking. I realized the burden of choice/tools made me hate cleaning. Ditching 90% wasn't just decluttering; it changed my relationship with cleaning.

Has anyone else simplified cleaning this way? Did minimizing supplies make you more likely to clean? Especially interested in hearing from fellow Nordics:D
