Could see the word “hexafluoride” on the side but unable to make out the top word. Anyone have any idea what it is and/or what it’s used for? Thought it was kinda interesting 🤷🏼‍♂️

I need to know what it is and how to dispose of it. Its in a plastic garbage can that was catching leaks from a toilet above. The tenant, finally evicted by sheriffs, didnt want me coming over so this was their solution. The tenant said they added a "stabilizer". The surface was smoother but I left the lid off for a couple weeks.

My wife and I went to Lyme Regis, and I found this stone with lines etched across. Does anyone know what could’ve caused this? I also don’t know if this is the right place for this.

It’s pointed right at the bath/shower and seems weird. There is no switch or button just a screen with what I would call a camera. Please lower my wife’s anxiety

Solved! What is this brown/amber-colored stuff running down our walls?

Thumbnail

12.4k Upvotes

My fiance and I just moved into a new apartment. When we took a shower this evening, this stuff appeared on the walls. We were told by management that they painted before we moved in.

Editing to add context:

  • We upgraded to a larger apartment within the same complex. We lived in our previous one for >6 years and never had this issue.

  • Management assured us the apartment had been cleaned and painted before we moved in. Cleaning was not to my standards, so I deep cleaned the entire place top to bottom before we moved our stuff in. This included wiping down walls and other surfaces multiple times.

  • When we did our walk through on the day we received our keys, the place smelled vaguely of cigarettes to me. I have family who smokes and used to smoke myself - I'm very familiar with the smell. But management insisted it was "paint and Pinesol" when I brought it up. We were not in a position to back out of the lease, so we were forced to move in anyway.

Edit #2:

  • This is located in our bathroom. While deep cleaning, I also scrubbed similarly colored gunk off of the plexiglass shower walls.

  • We have been living here for just a week now, so it is not dust and dirt. I have been over the entire place multiple times already. I have contamination OCD and did not trust the cleaning crew to be thorough enough (spoiler alert, they were not. The place was still filthy.)

  • I replaced the shower head with one that has a large filter, so it is not my water. But again, this is simply a new unit in the same complex, and we never had this issue before.

  • The flooring was completely replaced, throughout the entire unit. The unit still smells like cigarettes. I have been trying to air it out, and will be cleaning for the 4th time this weekend.

  • Maybe worth mentioning, but I also cleaned the kitchen cabinets multiple times over. There is a large window above the kitchen sink. The cabinets around the window were covered in a layer of yellowy brown filth, especially on top. The cabinets also have a faux wood face - not painted - that is peeling from the bottom on most of them. We had the exact same cabinets in our previous apartment, and they still looked pristine when we left.

I looked up amd noticed this weird stuff inside the majority of the nozzles..groups of them seems to clog but they otherwise slip through. This looks like it would easily get caught and stay in my hair?!

Never seen this before. Im used to seeing calcium rings on the nozzles not this.

Any ideas? What do I do? I dont want this in my water?!
