Thank you Angela! I am a professional house cleaner and one of my hacks for cleaning a gunky microwave is to take about two or three paper towels and get them wet throw them in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Let it set for another minute in the microwave and then wipe everything out with the steamed paper towels.

Teresa, Is your stove top ceramic? Here is a video I made on how to clean one: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jG15qcyCdsSzp9I.html

I use shower hand wand/hot water to go over tub/surround after a shower. Gets rid of soap scum so not drying like iron in there. Also chek bathroom fan. If u take 1 single toilet paper sheet, throw it up in air towards running ceiling fan. It should suck it up. If not, fan grate needs cleaned, or more likely fan motor replaced. They only last maybe 10yrs. If its sucking tissue up its working. A working bathroom fan will wick away steam/help stop mold. I learned that from carpenter friend. He said to buy bigger fan than what u need for rm. Also said if grout is moldy - replace. The mold retardant is gone. Grout doesn't last forever and shouldn't need heroic efforts to keep mold free. Grout is probably cracking/pulling away from tile leading to mold/water damage. Some tubs/shower stalls need replaced after 10yrs if it takes huge effort to clean. I couldnt keep shower clean. It was 35yrs old. Clear coating wore off. Had replaced, now its a breeze to clean.

I keep a clean microfiber cloth draped over the hand towel bar at the end closest to the bathroom sink. When I’m done, I do a quick wipe with the cloth and hang it back up to dry. I change it out every few days, or earlier if really grody. Same with the kitchen sink, except I have it sitting on one of those racks you use to double the vertical space in cupboards.

I always step out of my shower after showering and while the shower is wet ice Ouija the whole thing and then after I dry myself off I take my towel and dry off the whole shower. And then hang up the wet towel is just my water in there so doesn't matter. And I use a fabric waterproof shower liner and I always keep a bottle with water and a small amount of bleach it's sprayed on the bottom of my shower curtain occasionally to keep away all the mold and mildew. It works great

I was originally taught to clean with the "cloth and sink of soapy water" method so cleaning the inside of the microwave was a pain in the ass. But after working with a company I learned the "spray and wipe" method and oh boy is it 1,000 times easier. Just hose the microwave down with all purpose spray or degreaser of choice and wipe away. The steam bowl method mimics this but this way you don't have to wait forever and deal with a hot bowl.

What would you recommend for cleaning Tile grout?

Do you know about Grout-eez? Here is the paid link amzn.to/3A4tyVL so you can see what it looks like. It's great for sealed grout on ceramic tile.

Lately I have been scrubbing the inside of my toilets with Dawn Powerwash foam spray dish detergent (a bottle I designated for bathrooms only). It seems to work really well and only a spray or two goes a very long way. How do you feel about using dish detergent for this? Are there any drawbacks? Could it be bad for my plumbing?

@AskAngelaBrown

2 жыл бұрын

No. There is no harm to using Dawn Powerwash in your toilet. This would be similar to washing dishsoap down the kitchen sink. It is diluted enough that it would be nearly pH neutral - and it may give the toilet any extra cleaning power you need while using a toilet brush. Great question.

Looking for a flexible hand held cleaning tool, I need it to clean my rim joist and only have a 1.'5" space to navigate the tool through, but I need it to form an L shape. Any idea of where I could find this?

+Natural Healing What about an electric toothbrush? It wouldn’t form an L shape, but you might be able to get the results with a spinning head of an electric toothbrush. Will that work?
