Johnson Thu, 02 Jun 2011 21:51:59 +0000 http://www.howtocleananything.com/home-exterior-tips/yard-garden/outdoor-furniture/#comment-14229 We have resin plastic patio furniture. It was painted taupe last year. My question is what should I use to wash, and, if possible, to wax or otherwise protect its surface. In the past, I have used cleansers and wax from Patio Clean, made by B.C.G.M. Inc., St-Eustache P.Q., Canada J7R 5B2. It worked well. Unfortunately I cannot seem to find it this year.

]]> Comment on Hairspray Overspray by Carole http://www.howtocleananything.com/home-interior-tips/bathroom-cleaning/hairspray-overspray/#comment-14110 Carole Tue, 17 May 2011 02:34:45 +0000 http://www.howtocleananything.com/?p=330#comment-14110 For the floor, I find that really hot water and floor cleaner such as Spic N Span works great (wear gloves if your hands can't handle the heat from the water). I think the trick is really hot water, with a good semi-saturated microfiber towel, getting on your hands and knees and start scrubbing away. Getting down to the floor will help you "feel" it and might need to rinse that micro towel several times for just a small area. Also, you'll have to clean your floor on a weekly basis if you use a lot of hairspray. Don't let it build up and it'll make your cleaning a lot more easier :) For the floor, I find that really hot water and floor cleaner such as Spic N Span works great (wear gloves if your hands can’t handle the heat from the water).

]]> Comment on Glass cooktops by Carole http://www.howtocleananything.com/home-interior-tips/kitchen/glass-cooktops/#comment-14109 Carole Mon, 16 May 2011 23:03:28 +0000 http://www.howtocleananything.com/?p=781#comment-14109 Be aware that there's a difference between glass and ceramic cooktops. Glass will scratch more easily then ceramic. Never use the YELLOW sponge with GREEN scouring pad, it will surely scratch your glass!! I absolutely hate those yellow and green sponges, worse things ever! Also, if you have some hard water build up, you might find that using a hard water remover cleaner (such as vinegar, bathroom cleaner, etc) would be a tad helpful to remove the build up. Also, as she suggested, a combination of glass top cleaner, a wet towel, and I use a razor (the type you can buy at Home Depot and replace the razor when it dulls). Just be sure that when using your razor that the surface is wet and using it at an angle where you aren't going to scratch the surface. Also, never use the razor towards you, always away from your body so that your don't accidentally hurt yourself.... a super clean flat stove top is NOT worth hurting yourself for! LOL Seriously though, I love my flat stove top! I always keep a wet hot dish rag close by when cooking (just in case I spill something). I clean my stove after cooking, and no, I don't use the special cleaner each time, it's not necessary each time. Daily cleaning and maintenace is key for a nice looking flat top, don't get lazy with it, you'll regret it. Be aware that there’s a difference between glass and ceramic cooktops.
