150 Tips and Tricks on Cleaning

Clint says on October 4th, 2005 at 2:07 pm

Rubbing alcohol (isopropanol) works wonders on removing any marks (like ball point pen ink) from an LCD screen. As of yesterday my LCD screen is clean (at least for another week).

horrible page - please let the “urine stain” advertizer that I was looking for this subject on your page - but - due to the offensive ‘blinking’ - I did not click their ad - If they are that rude and stupid, why do business with them?? Not me. — NEXT

Also, on both my computers (very fast connections) it takes an unnecessarily LONG TIME to scroll. Gee, would sure like a site with an abundance of content (like yours) but with an intelligent web master (like me) deciding on page layout, advertising, etc. No, this is not an interview request.

Check the new entry at
http://www.lifehack.org/articl.....aning.html
for some good hints on web page design. By the way - found their site on del.icio.us/popular just like your page.

I tried removing rust stains with the help of your article. Didn’t quite work. Food colring stain removal worked quite well. All in all a good resource. Thanks

Tampa Grout Cleaning says on September 26th, 2006 at 11:44 am

The article on steaming cleaning grout is about right… Except I wouldn’t recommend it for large areas. When I have steamed cleaned grout it goes about 50-100 sq feet an hour…

Better to use an alkaline cleaner then an acid cleaner to get best results.

Can’t think of anything you guys might have missed. Pretty comprehensive.

Chuck says on December 9th, 2006 at 11:09 am

Always use CFLs they are much brighter than incadescent bulbs that can make you miss a lot of dirt!

Chad says on February 1st, 2007 at 6:14 pm

Try a can of “Goof Off”! it’s worked on just about everything I’ve tried it on. (Just be sure to test it on a small area first)

Concrete Polishing says on April 14th, 2007 at 4:25 pm

Pretty good tips.

Any alkaline or degreaser is good for any type of food/fat/organic staining.

That’s what we use in cleaning up concrete.

Elise says on September 5th, 2007 at 5:56 pm

Help! Can anyone help me find info on how to clean a large amount of molasses off the inside of a wooden cabinet?? A jar seems to have cracked while in there, and I just discovered it’s all over, and all of the other cans and jars in there are stuck to it, and the black color has permeated the labels of them! How on earth do you clean it off the wood, though? I can’t find anything on the Internet! Thanks.

Marble Restoration Operator says on October 20th, 2007 at 2:19 am

Tips and Consideration to Extend Life of Marble and Other Stones
1. Avoid getting any acid based cleaners such as toilet bowl cleaner on your stone as it will damage or “etch” the surface of the stone.

2. Make sure you seal your grout periodically as the effectiveness of the sealer will reduce over time.

3. The shinier floor will sooner show patterns of wear and scratches.

4. For scratches removing try buffing stone surface with #0 dry steel wool.

5. For scratches removing on black surfaces try to use a black permanent marker.

6. In some cases small scratches can disappear by using stone color enhancer sealer.

7. Stone waxing is used as quick fixes and are more of a problem than a solution. Stone waxing prevent from “breathing” and the chemicals used for stripping can burn and damage stones.

8. A marble floor can be easy damaged by sand or dirt, which makes scratches on the surface and reduce a shine.

9. Make sure the selected stone cleaner can be used on the your kind of stone.

10. Any stone can lose a shine if it is not properly maintained.

Why try to remove a stain. Just buy another one. In todays disposable society everything you buy is temporary anyways.

An excellent product for both removing deck stains and cleaning a wood deck is sodium percarbonate. It can be used with or without a pressure washer.

You have some great tips in there. I can appreciate the power washing ones the most as I own pressure washing companies.
