Designers are pretty amazing at coming up with cool, sleek, and visually stunning products that make us go, “Wow!” But sometimes, in their quest for the perfect design, they forget about the practical stuff—like how on earth we’re supposed to clean their creations.
We’ve all seen those ridiculous design fails that make us scratch our heads and laugh out loud. The Facebook group “Things designed by people who don’t have to clean them” is a goldmine for these hilarious and often frustrating design blunders. It’s a place where design enthusiasts come together to share the most baffling and amusing examples of when designers clearly skipped Chore Day.

4. Sofa
5. Next Level Bedazzled Mixer
6. Found One In The Wild Of One Of My Local Yard Sale Groups. If Ur Not Familiar With The Central Valley It’s Dusty Af. I Can Only Imagine This Thing In A Years Time
7. This Cup, Which I Photographed Before Finally Getting Over My Guilt And Just Throwing Away. Those Arms Are Hollow. Even If It’s Only Used For Water, It’ll Get Damp In There And Full Of Unreachable Mold. Farewell, Cute But Useless Cactus Cup. I Wanted To Give You A Chance, But You’re Just Too Poorly Designed
8. This Chair Is For Sale In A Shop Across From My Office. I Looked At It Out My Window Thinking It Looked Like A Huge Nest Then Pulled It Up On Their Website. For That Price You Know They Have No Kids Or Pets And Do Have Someone Else To Clean It. Now To Go Over And Touch It
9. Kids Bath Toys ? One Looked A Bit Weird So I Cut It Open And It Was Full Of Mould! Thrown Out All Of Her Bath Toys That Can Fill Themselves With Water

12. Fur Walls, Ceiling And Bedding

15. Sink About It
16. This Sherpa Recliner I Found On Marketplace.… I’m Not Sure You Can Clean This Lol
17. I Finally Have One That Fits Here. This Mouse In The Manager’s Office. I Want To Vomit
18. Found In Another Group, I Am Wondering How They Are Able To Clean This Set Up? Seems Like A Cool Concept, But How Are You Able To Dust And Vacuum When You Have Huge Rocks Around Your Living Room?
19. This Fabric Chandelier/Lightshade Is Hanging In A Toilet. Can See The Spiderwebs & Dust From My Seat
20. This Looks Like Gravel Stuck In Old Gum, With Lime Scale And Soap Scum Accents
