Very useful. Could you do a segment on paste wax or finishing polish? Both solids that come in a bright yellow can several inches tall. One is MINIWAX Paste Finishing Polish. And the other is SC JOHNSON Paste Wax. I’ve bought them years ago to bring up the shine to a “French polish” but always been too afraid to use them because I don’t know how or on what types of wood finishes would be appropriate or not. Thank you so much for considering. Sincerely, a Big Fan

In this video you mention using Pledge. I got an interesting tip from my expert on Anderson windows. He said to use Lemon Pledge in the tracks of my sliding windows. Besides smelling great, it lubricates the track and does not attract dust. This treatment keeps the windows sliding well and prolongs the life of the sliding mechanism.

My absolute furniture polish was by SC Johnson’s “specialty surface” cleaner but unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued. It worked great on wood, stainless steel, granite and leather! The only thing it couldn’t be used on was glass. I have no idea why the SC Johnson company discontinued it, but I do know that many people were very disappointed! On the other hand Angela Brown is absolutely correct that most of the time all you need is a very slightly damp cloth to dust your wood furniture.

Hi Angela, so glad I found your videos! So helpful. I am trying to save my 1960s mahogany veneer kitchen cabinets. They are stained, and have a very thin coat of something on them. There are dark streak spots in some of them, ( not mildew) also steam damage, and plenty of dirt and grease especially around the knobs. My plan was to clean them first, then maybe a light sand with 320 grit paper, then use Howards restore a finish, and finally Howard's beeswax polish. I'm not sure what to clean them with? I was told krud kutter pre-paint cleaner, but I don't know if I should be dulling the surface. I have some Krud Kutter general cleaner that I could try but it doesn't specify use on raw wood. Tried a bit of dawn dishwashing soap with vinegar, and Lemon/ lemon rind tea I made mixed with warm water. Then I rinsed with baking soda water mix, and then rinsed well and dried well. Didn't find great results with that, especially the dark streaks and it seemed to be lifting the stain a bit. Seems like the grain is somewhat lifted on them already and the veneer seems quite thin. Can you suggest a product to clean them with?

@AskAngelaBrown

2 жыл бұрын

Hi Blossom Bud, if the intent is to sand and restain them, the Krud Kutter Original Degreaser will be just fine. It may remove the grease and gunk build up and if there are dark streak spots - this may remove whatever that is. After you sand them, they should be more of an even finish and re-sealing the wood will give them a new life. Keep me posted, I'm eager to hear how this project goes for you.

Technically yes, I believe we are talking about Howard Cutting Board Oil which is a food-grade mineral oil.

You don't want an excessive amount because you don't want a build up on your fridge that will attract dust and fingerprints. Does that make sense?

You can use Murphy Oil Soap in a spray with a damp cloth. It looks like this amzn.to/358DcX3 but you can find it a lot cheaper at Home Depot or Lowes. This will break down the buildup of furniture polish and leave your table clean. I believe that Murphy Oil Soap is also a no-rinse product so you can just spray and wipe.

I have replaced all these products with Odies Oil except for ones that clean off dirt. Then I apply ODIES oil a paste smelling of luscious lemon, is food safe, solvent free, non-toxic, waterproof. It is safe around pets and children. Can be used indoors or outdoors. Seems expensive but a little bit goes a long way. It is applied with a special pad, left for 15 - 20 minutes and then buffed off. I have not tried other Odie products such as a Odies Super Penetrating oil, wood butter, or wax.

Also we were always taught to apply polish with cheesecloth rags ( I guess I'm really old school --pre microfiber ! Watch out for old towels, as they can leave a lot of lint.

Hi Kristina, No I don't carry all this with me. Most furniture can be wiped with a damp cloth which removes dust and keeps the shine. If a customer has a preference for a particular furniture polish I buy a bottle (add the cost into the cleaning so the customer is paying for it.) Then I label the can or bottle with the customers name and their house number and their time slot. (i.e. Sterling, 3102, Wed 9:00) We have a shelf that holds "customers supplies" and when packing a caddy for that house we only take their polish. That way it is not used on any other house and a bottle or can lasts a year or so.

Great

A degreaser of some sort. Dawn dishwashing soap is good if you keep some in your shower for this purpose. If you don't have some of that, Krud Kutter Original Degreaser is always a good choice. amzn.to/2UefFSD It is non-toxic and biodegradable.

I'm looking for the best all-purpose wood cleaner (not polish). Do you think either Method, Bona, or Murphy's Oil will work for this, and what would they ruin (if anything?) I've tried the Method one which seems fine imo, but I started using Bona Wood Surfaces Deep Cleaner because I figure the name brand would help with "liability" (or credibility) in case something accidentally gets ruined...not sure if that's better than Method or not. Which is 'better" and could the Bona cleaner (or Method) really ruin any type of wood or finish? I don't care about what's shinier or whatever, only about ensuring nothing gets ruined. I haven't really tried Murphy's yet bc I wasn't clear on it's purpose. Thank you so much I'm learning so much from your channel. I definitely subscribed!

+Kirsten Signar my personal preference over the others is Murphy oil soap. It nourishes the wood as it cleans. If you are not sure if the liability you can always use your product on an inconspicuous area of the wood first. 👍

How do you get white marks from hot bowls off your kitchen table? :(

@AskAngelaBrown

11 ай бұрын

Oh no, I hate when that happens. These marks are often caused by the moisture trapped between the hot bowl and the table's finish. If the marks are minor, you might be able to remove them using a hairdryer on a low heat. Keep the hairdryer moving back and forth over the white marks for about 20-30 seconds. The heat helps to evaporate the moisture trapped in the finish. Once the marks are gone, use table cloths or placemats in the future to prevent new marks from forming. 👍

I haven't used pledge in years. I had clients that had massive buildup on their furniture from using it. None of my clients want this used in their homes.

You're absolutely right, avoiding heavy buildup from overuse of Pledge is wise. Clients don't want that residue coating their furniture. There may be alternatives for residential cleans for some clients that make more sense. Thanks for sharing that professional perspective.

Ok. I am an essential oil crazy person. I mixed peppermint with Murphys ready made spray. I cleaned a wood dresser and the color changed😬..as I kept cleaning thinking of how to beg for forgiveness I got lucky because the color came back...I'm still confused about why and how but I will NEVER do it again.

The wood may not have been sealed. Using an oil based spray on unsealed wood can change the color of the wood. I'm glad the color was restored. Whew!

Be careful, the essential oils will dissolve the finish on the wood. Found that out the hard way. On the bright side, it is a super fast way to strip the finish if you want to change the finish!

What do you recommend to do first Dust? or Vacuum?

@AskAngelaBrown

3 жыл бұрын

Dust first, this way you can vacuum up any dust bunnies that have fallen on the floor.

so how often do you actually polish or wax the wood furnature?

@AskAngelaBrown

As professional cleaners we don't polish or wax wood furniture. We just damp wipe it to remove dust. Any polishing or waxing is done by the homeowner at their leisure.

I was wondering which is best, Old English or Liquid Gold?

Hi Gayle! If it’s just a light amount of dust then a Swiffer duster should do it. Give it a try and let me know how it turns out : )

Is Rejuvenate Cabinet Restore safe to use?

@AskAngelaBrown

4 жыл бұрын

I don't know what type of cabinets you have. The label on the back should specify what types of surfaces it is okay to use it on. And I'm assuming you were going to use it on cabinets rather than just as a common furniture polish. When in doubt, the Safety Data Sheet should have the manufacturers contact information and you can ask them.

My face is old and dried out, so I guess I need some kind of wax to help. ( Indeed, my dermatologist ssid I need to be using a thicker CREME and not just a lotion. ). ; )

What is a good counter top cleaner?

@AskAngelaBrown

3 жыл бұрын

It depends on the surface and it depends on the soil. Every cleaner has a pH balance to it. If you use one that is too strong it can dissolve the finish on your counter, leave streaks or eat the sealer. What type of countertop do you have?

Hi Zana, it sounds like it has bleach of some sort in it. Chemical patches like this is hard to remove. What type of surface is your cupboard? And what type of chemical created the patches?

I have to dust and then polish? That’s two steps?

@AskAngelaBrown

It depends on what you are cleaning. In most cases, you can just use a damp microfiber cloth. If you have older (think antique) wood, you may want to use a furniture polish to nourish the wood.

I never realized as a cleaner that you were responsible for restoring their furniture.

We don't charge extra for polishing furniture unless it's waxing furniture (as in antique furniture) If the customer has a specific polish they use, yes, you do charge extra for that and keep that polish for their home only.
