Tip of The Week

June 16, 2007

This week’s tip comes from our “Take the Heat out of Cleaning the Shower” file.

We get lots of calls about getting soap scum and hard water marks off tiled shower floors and walls.  An old friend and frequent caller told us that an “old friend” from the kitchen worked very well in cleaning the bathroom.

When he has a tough shower to clean he uses oven cleaner.  No heat required.  Just spray it on the walls, let it stand for a few minutes and wipe it away.  One word of caution; some of these products give off noxious fumes and should only be used where there is excellent ventilation and where a chemical respirator is used by the person doing the work.  There are environmentally friendly versions of oven cleaner that will work equally well and these would be the recommended product for the shower.

Thanks for visiting Ask John and Dave.com and we’ll see you on the air,
