Cleaning tips that work!
- TSP and Simple green work very well to clean grease & grime and oil stains in garage/driveway.
- CLR works great to remove hard water scale in kitchen/baths (try on shower doors!)
- Clean does a good job on cabinet/wall/door washing and for stubborn stains lightly use soft scrub on painted surfaces only do not use abrasives on natural woodwork it will scratch.
- Shower patrol does a good job on tile/grout w/stiff brush
