Im loving your channel
Thank you! Love your videos!
Have you tried muriatic acid?
Thank you Angela, this review saved me thousands of dollars!
I moved into this house the bottom of my shower has extremely fine grid pattern also like window screen. It was discolored and looked filthy. I tried soft scrub with bleach and a stiff brush. No change. I tried bar keepers- no change. CLR- no change. Pure bleach- no change/ bleach and enough water no cover, soak overnight- no change. Zero products used made any change to the bottom of my shower. I figured when we bought the house the prior owner must have scrubbed off the finish and it was the primer showing through (there’s a chip so I know it’s black under the white tub)
Fast forward 18 YEARS!!!!! Yes 18 yrs - after watching this I figured I’d try cleaning with it since the review was so great. My regular weekly cleaning I scrub the tub down routine I noticed the tub near the drain starting to whiten……. I continued up the tub More Whitening!!!! Unbelievable after a TON of scrubbing with a stiff brush I finally got the bottom of my tub white!!!! This stuff is AMAZING!!!
I had a contractor in to remodel the bathroom because it looked gross and he told me it’s so much work just repaint the tub and gave me a card to a guy who repaints tubs. I was shocked the contractor walked away from a job but now I’m so thankful he did
Thank you Angela for this review
Omg...that's awesome!! Kudos to you for doing an amazing job and saving money!! 🙌🙌
I LOVE this review. I’ve spent so much money, that I really can’t afford, replacing, refinishing, professional cleaning, etc. I’m learning that it wasn’t always necessary. Thank you for sharing your story.
I don’t understand why you don’t have more subscribers. You’re amazing.
Awww...thank you so much for this, I appreciate it! 🤗😊
Yup! Guess we'll just have to share share everywhere...
@@AskAngelaBrownI share your channel with everyone! This is gold 💛
I LOVE these product reviews with the safety and chemical info. So many people have no idea how to use products on certain surfaces or how to mix or not. Sooo useful. Thanks!!
Me too!
Nobody ever taught me how to clean a shower before. I have a terrible problem with mold in the grout and even bleach didn't seem to fix it. I'll try this product next, and with what I've learned from you I think I will have good success! Thank you for helping me learn!
You're welcome! Thank you for sharing your story and thank you for watching the video. 😊
My family owned a small motel in a beach town from 1981 to 2000. Greased Lighting was the go to cleaner. Spray it in the shower, or tub, let it break down the grease while you are cleaning the sink, and toilet. Come back to the tub with a small amount of brushing, and suntan oil melts away.
Yes i have use grease lightning i love it i removed all the packed on grease on my freinds kitchen cabinet to be painted they can out beautiful.
Thanks so much for commenting on the video. Glad you like the product as much as I do! 👍
Here's a tip:
To reduce the overall amount of mold and how fast it builds up, after using the shower/tub, leave the shower curtain/door open and leave the light on in the bathroom until the shower dries (hour or so). You'll still eventually get mold, that's unavoidable, but you can significantly reduce how much and how fast it builds up. ;)
Thanks for the tips. You're absolutely correct about leaving the shower door/curtains open to ventilate the space. Also if there is an open window or air vent that will help reduce the moisture in the air as well. Thanks for sharing this. 👏👏👏
@@AskAngelaBrown Our family makes it a habit to wipe down the walls with a designated towel. Keeps the mildew at bay and shines the tile as well!
I use a floor fan after cleaning the shower. Leave the shower door open and the fan blowing facing into the shower until every nook and cranny is completely dry.
I also use the tool for wiping down glass doors and floor of the shower (the same thing that’s used for windows)
This looks wonderful but I'm partially disabled and could never bend over use the brush and s rub like you do because you are young. Thank you
I love your channel. Never in my life I thought cleaning can be this much fun. Thank you for showing us how to clean it like a pro.
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to drop me a line. It's great to hear from you. :-)
Angela is the only one who can made me watch an add fully! 😁 I love you Angela! ✨
Subscribed! I’ve been catching up on your videos after finding you when i moved into an old, stale, smoked-in rental home. Thank you SO much for all your help. Even when I’m not cleaning, just listening and learning from you lifts me up and makes me feel good. Thank you so much! 💛
Welcome aboard! Thank you for subscribing and for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
Thank you Angela, this was exactly what I needed to hear for the garage shower. It is the shower the guys use after mechanical work. Did an amazing job. I was a faithful subscriber and stopped for a year or so, I am back!!!! You are the Best!!!!
You are so welcome, glad it was helpful! And WELCOME BACK!!! Sending hugs. 🤗
I have watched a lot of videos about cleaning but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words!
Angela! You are just a world of knowledge!!
It's been years since I've used Greased Lightening...I'd forgotten how good it was! I have trouble with mold in many of my walk in showers in the summer months here in Ohio! Thx for the advice!!
Found You and your videos about a month ago..I am just in my 4th year of business..You have certainly inspired me..and validated many of my concerns re: running my own business!
You have been such a Blessing to all if us in the business! Keep up the good work! And Thank You Kindly!!
I wish I had a cleaning person who would watch these videos! I’m a germ-a-phobe, because I was very sick for a long time.
I wish you lived by me! MI?
Thanks so much for watching the video and leaving a comment. 👍
Amazing video. Not only did i learn about the greased lightning but also the oxo brushes. Now I'll look forward to cleaning my bathtub.
Awesome! That makes me so happy! Thank you for being here! 🙂
I have never used Greased Lightning, but will definitely try it since watching this video. Thanks Angela!!
You are so welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 😊
You are my new favorite! My shower is terrible and I didn’t know how to tackle it. Thanks for the “work smarter not harder” information.
Thanks so much for watching the video and keep me posted on how the shower turns out. 👍
I worked in a pipe fabrication shop as an apprentice pipefitter. We had a band saw that we used for cutting struts and small pipes. It used an emulsion as a lubricant. I had no pipes to cut one morning, so my boss had me clean up the band saw ans the cabinet it sat on. This product worked wonders
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
The shower in my bathroom is designed almost exactly the same as the one in your video. Mold develops almost exactly the same way as shown here also. I already have Greased Lighting on hand, because I use it as a laundry spot treatment for bacon grease or other spatters on chef aprons and other fabrics. Never thought about using it in this way. Will definitely be giving this a try. Thanks so much for this information.
Definitely give it a try. I never thought to try it on laundry. Thanks for the tip!
My mom kept this in our house, initially as a pre-wash degreaser for my dad’s work pants, then we started using us for ALL kinds of stuff. When I left home I used in my homes and vehicles. It just works! It definitely demands we respect it. Ventilation is very important.
Glad it works for you!👍
I've been using GL for 19 yrs and it is my " go to" . I absolutely love it for laundry stains as well as cleaning .
It's a great product and does wonders in the shower, laundry, patio furniture, kids toys, swimming pools... Thanks for sharing my enthusiasm. :-)
I like your channel! Thank you for showing us how to correctly use the products!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and spending a few minutes of your day here with me. 👍
Thank you. I have this same tile. Now I feel way more confident this is what I need and it will handle the job.
Glad it was helpful! 🤗🙂
Hi Angela, I just discovered your channel and love it! I've been binge watching and am learning so much! Thanks for such a quality channel and content. Sincerely, Mrs. Mr. E
Oh wow, that is so nice of you to say. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support and for spending a few minutes of your day here with me. I appreciate you. :-)
I'm impressed. Thanks for sharing Angela.
Yay! I am so glad you liked the show. 👍
Getting started with my cleaning business and your videos are very helpful. Thanks for the cleaning wisdom 😊👍🏽
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
I have used it and love it. Very powerful for lots of stuff. My favorite cleaning product when I was cleaning houses.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
This is a serious channel! I’m so impressed by your careful yet realistic approach to health and safety.
Thank you so much for your kind words!😊
This is the best product and I'm so happy you brought it to the forefront. After being in many rentals that needed a thorough scrubbing this is the only thing that did it without causing a stress
+AMY K Hooray! There are so many great products on the market. It’s awesome when you find one and then stick with it. I’m so glad this is that product for you. Thank you for watching. 😍
Thank you for sharing this . No I have never used it before but will be going to the store to buy it before I clean a house today .
Great and let me know what you think of it. 👍
Helpful video. I’ve never heard of this product before, now I can’t wait to try it out.
If you do try it, let me know how you like it. :-)
I've only used the engine degreaser, and it works! I had no idea they made a household cleaner. Thanks for the review and the demo on how you use it
Sure, thanks for watching and taking the time to drop me a line. It's great to have you here.
My husband uses for the cars, never thought to try oil the bathroom! We have a texture on our tub floor which is very difficult to get clean so I can’t wait to try this!
Thanks for watching the video. 🙂
Front Door Housekeeping has been using Grease Lightening for 2 years as bleach products are too strong. Thanks for the video! Great way to bring in the SDS info!
Thanks. Hopefully we are all a little safer. :-)
As always awesome video, thank you for sharing your excellent experience and how to clean videos. I have written before I was in the business for 35 plus years and you certainly run an excellent business. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for your kind words and continued support James!!
I have had this under my cabinet, bought for the car. I'm heading into the shower now to give it a try! Thanks for the review.
Well?
@@yoyoitsKerry Maybe she fumigated herself. ☠️😳
Great work. Love ur tutorials
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Have used this product on greasy things like grills and tools, but never would have thought it would work for mold & mildew. A revelation for me - thank you!
All videos very Nice. Thank you Angela.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to drop me a line. It's great to have you here. 👍
Definitely adding this to my arsenal at work
Thant's great, thanks for watching!
Wow you have a wealth of cleaning knowledge ! Just subscribed, thank you ! 👍🏻
Thanks for subbing! And thank you for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
I've used Greased Lightning in the past to get automotive grease off my husband's clothes. It works well! 👍🏻
Oh nice! I'm going to try it out on clothes!! Thanks for sharing this tip!
Interesting.... I love Greased Lighting for many cleaning projects, but never thought to try it on tubs or tiles. Thanks. I'll have to try that in coming days.
Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! Let us know how it goes. 🤗
I used it on a stove vent hood that was thick with old oil build-up, dust and mystery splatters. I let it sit for maybe 2 minutes, and wiped it all away with a damp cloth. I didn't think to try this in showers, so that's good to know it's safe for those materials as well. I will be using it in the shower next time.
Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching the video.🙂
Could you do a video on cleaning grease off of kitchen cabinets..walls and the vent how to clean it moved into my 1st place and I hate cooking and stuff getting on walls ugh
Congratulations on your big move. I'm so excited for you! Do you know about Krud Kutter? It's sold as a concentrate and is AMAZING for the type of thing you are talking about. amzn.to/3fQqssa you can find it at Home Depot and it does wonders for greasy areas like vents, cabinets and walls.
This is so informative .thank you for the content :)
You're so welcome! Glad it was helpful!
This product us great to use in the laundry to treat clothing that has gone through the dryer with crayons. I believe I also soaked some clothing that was harder to remove in a solution as well. It has been a few years....
Thanks for sharing!😊
Good info, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Wish we had special drains in our society to dispose of chemicals since this stuff makes it to our water sources. Great video and channel, especially the paper organization video. Thank you.
Yes, to what you said. Many cleaners are now moving to steamers and other ways to use less chemicals when cleaning. You're correct about the waterways and our earth is suffering from it. Thanks for the reminder.
@@AskAngelaBrown I got a steamer today, after your convincing comment and watching some videos of how effective steamers are. =) I currently use a wet mop with wringer and dirty water catch bucket.
Good point about rinsing the bottle before recycling it
Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
This is a really intelligent video. Thank you.
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
Just awesome info thank you so much
Thank you for stopping by. It's great to have you here. :-)
Love grease lighting!!!! Been using it on everything for years.
Thank you for your input and thanks for watching. 🙂
Do you use it for the glass or fiberglass shower doors too?
Great videos! Thank you!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching.
Thank you need it this video, love all videos
You're welcome, thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!
I love this product ❤!!!! Its my go to even before bleach based
Good to know! Thanks for sharing your input and for watching the video, I appreciate it!
Thank you for showing how to clean it.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you Ángela.
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
Thanks, Angela!!!
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
I just found your web page because we no longer have a cleaning lady. My wife is disabled so I am our new cleaning guy! I have always used greased lightning on the fiber glass on my motor home, and it does an awesome job. I haven't been able to get the bottom of our showers clean and I don't know why I didn't think about using GL before. Thanks for your video!
You are awesome! Thank you for sharing this and you will do fine with the cleaning.
Thank you Angela browning needed to learn how to clean my tiles .
You’re welcome, I'm happy to help! Thanks for watching! 😊
@@AskAngelaBrown You welcome.
Just found your channel and I think it's great. Thank you! Question for you on the Greased Lightening, does it work on soap scum too???
Yes, it is a degreaser and cuts right through it.
Hi Angela Brown, thanks for your lessons and videos I learn a lot from them. I subscribed to your channel.. I follow you... I am planning to start a cleaning company.. So.. You are teaching me a lot. Thanks once again
Hi Joseph, Welcome to the wonderful world of house cleaning. I'm super excited about your new journey. Please keep me posted. I'm here in your corner, cheering your name and clapping for you as you go by.
@@AskAngelaBrown wow, I am so rejuvenated, thanks for the Courage ,am looking forward to enjoying it.. Just know I love cleaning and I love a clean environment. Thank you 👏👏
I like your energy and the way you explain things and your videos are very helpful.
Have you thought about franchising your cleaning business, your process is very well thought out.
Thank you so much for your kind words, maybe one day! From your mouth to God's ear. Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
I think you'll find that the "secret ingredient" is most likely ammonia, which can be used on its own as a cleaner and is common in cleaning products. I've personally used it to clean jewellery, including gold and diamonds to bring back ìts brand new look, although not suitable for pearls, opals and such like.
Thanks for the tips! I hadn't thought to use it for jewelry or diamonds. Nice to know. 👍
When I was a professional house cleaner I used this all the time .
Thanks for sharing! Stay safe. Sending hugs. 🤗
I just subscribed, I love this channel Angela! I clean homes for an extra income, I do suffer from rheumatoid arthritis osteoaritis as well as mixed connective tissue disease so I greatly appreciate others sharing useful and helpful cleaning info & tips. 👍
Since your talking about cleaning products that have a higher toxicity rate, I do have a question about storage for us home cleaners..... primarily because of where I live and that I store most of my cleaning items in my truck. Ok so I realize that precautions need to be takin as far as keeping cleaners upright within a vehicle so not to spill. For me personally I keep a large tote with many chemical based items within it and my two storage caddy's with everyday cleaning items next to it, question I have is since I live in Florida and the heat index as you know is ridiculous, "is it safe to store such items as Grease Lightning within my tote box on a daily? Ever so often on a super hot day, I think about the safety hazards of some of my items. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much! I greatly appreciate your channel☺️👍✌️💕
Specifically for Greased Lightning, here is a link to the sds: www.physics.purdue.edu/primelab/safety/MSDS/SDS/Greased%20Lightning%20Super%20Strength%20Cleaner.pdf
Section 7 has the storage recommendations, keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
You may need to supply ice packs to keep items cool and store in a special container. If you have time to stop back at your main hub (office) you could switch out the supplies in between jobs. For more cleaning product recommendations please seek out the specific safety data sheets.
Thank you for sharing
Felecia, I appreciate you watching the video. 👍
omg you always help me find great things. Thank you! I bought a 1980's house ugh. I am completely renovating but parts are disgusting. Plus I have about 37 animals. lol
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
Greased Lightning has been my go-to cleaner since it was first introduced and I literally buy it by the gallon. If it's grubby, I clean it with Greased Lightning. I have a large plastic container for dog food for my 80-lb Standard Poodle. I like to clean the container before refilling it. Dry dog food leaves a greasy residue and Greased Lightning is great for that. I don't think I've ever tried the Super Strength but definitely will try to find it. Right after my shower (still bare and wet) is usually when I scrub my shower. I've never had an issue with Greased Lightning harming my hands (or feet) but, again, I haven't tried the Super Strength.
That's great to hear! Greased Lightning has been your go-to cleaner for various tasks, including cleaning your dog food container. If you're interested, you could try the Super Strength version for tougher grime. While you haven't had issues with the regular version harming your hands or feet, it's always a good idea to take precautions and use gloves. Thank you for sharing your positive experiences with Greased Lightning!
So amazing 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
This product was used by my landlord when I lived in California back in 2005. He did not warn before he used it in our apartment complex (6unit continuous multi-unit building). He used this product on the screws of the air ducts to the entire building. He sprayed it down EVERYONE'S AC vents on the roof and any air ducts that had screws in all the units. He did this while we were at work. Most of us worked during the day... since we were in the Mojave desert 90% of us kept all our windows closed and AC on cause it was June and it gets to be 100+ degrees daily.
Needless to say 2 people went to the hospital for respiratory distress due to the fumes that built up and the rest of us had head aches, dizziness, and nausea. My ex and I at the time didn't know everyone's unit had the same fumes so we asked our neighbors we thought it was a gas leak or gas spill that was how strong it was...and found out we all had the same strange smell with the same symptoms. 1 of the tenants that went to the hospital was 6 months pregnant... when we tried to approach the landlord he skipped town. 4 of the 6 of us pursued a lawyer collectively due to the chemical exposure. But due to our lack of funds and it may be possible that because we (all 4 of us)were all brown or darker we only got granted the ability to leave our lease without penalty.. i hate that he skipped town then 2 weeks later posted a note on our doors about using the grease lightning on the ventilation system... It was awful... he still was able to rent to other people once we moved out. We notified the fire department too just incase any new tenants tried to live there...I'm just thankful I moved out of there before he used any other chemicals on the ventilation system...
Oh no, what a bizarre story. I've never heard anything like it. How does one use Greased Lightning on the ventilation system? I can't even imagine how that would work or why someone would do that. I'm glad to hear you are okay.
Hello Ms. Brown and thanks for your knowledge. Just wondering what you would use to clean little black dots that look like mold that are forming on the ceiling above the shower/bathtub? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and have a great day!!!
That's mold. Very common. Treat it naturally or with recommended chemicals, then paint over it.
Here’s what I found on the internet: www.thespruce.com/how-to-remove-mold-from-bathroom-ceilings-5207453
I love Greased Lightning... And every time I use it, I 🎶 Go Greased Lightning burning up the quarter mile🎵🎵🎵. And I'm done in no time 👍😛
🎶Go, greased lightnin', you're coasting through the heat lap trials🎶 LOL. Glad you love the product!
Thanks for your videos! How do you sanitize all your cleaning brushes? Maybe you have a video already? Thanks again.
Thank you!
I appreciate you watching the show. 😊
Angela Brown you rock!
Thank you so much! You are awesome!!
Thanks 😎
Welcome 😊
Thank you so much for this video. Is this the same cleaner used in the video bathroom maintenance? Thanks again.
no, she used comet
Here is the video where I use Comet: ua-cam.com/video/ZX-dnNtIvwU/v-deo.html
As an RN, I so appreciate you giving the MSDS information!!!! Not only why and how to use it.
Too many people have burned their lungs in commercial cleaning enterprises with NO PPE used or even told how to use it!
Does this remove soap scum? Not really concerned with mold but that yucky soap scum! Worst job in the house, IMO. YES, Worse than toilets! Thank you!
Toni Stark If you want to get rid of everything in your shower just buy Spray Nine and a brush with a long handle. It is a shockingly effective APC, almost as strong as Super Clean, but also will sanitize/disinfect/deodorize/mold-inhibit/etc
Hose down your shower (when it's dry) with Spray Nine, let it dwell 3 minutes, and then brush. Pretty much any gunk or scum will just melt off with no effort.
Don't get it in your eyes. Keep your bathroom vent fan on or window open while using it. Respirator not needed.
@@Jasruler Thank YOU! Where can I find this Spray Nine? IT sounds wonderful!!! I wanted to use the vinegar, dawn soap concoction but my husband can't stand the smell of vinegar ! No matter how well ventilated the room or house is, he can smell vinegar a mile away so I am stuck! None of these scrubbing bubble type bathroom cleaning products do
ANYTHING so what a waste. Please let me know where I can find Spray Nine and I will sure give it a try. Thank you so much for responding. I think you may just have the answer
Toni Stark Home Depot or Wal-Mart will have Spray Nine. I suggest you get a gallon of it -- it's cheap and you're gonna love it so skip the single serving bottles. Again, you'll want a reasonably bristley brush on a long handle to work with. If you go to home depot get a Zep spray bottle. Yellow head, blue handle. They're excellent for high volume spraying.
I also cannot stand vinegar smell, it is unbearable to me. Plus, anyone who honestly thinks a homemade "natural" mixture will cut gunk, grease, scum, mold, crud, etc and sanitize, disinfect... AND deodorize... AND rinse clean... (the list goes on) as well as something that chemical engineers cooked up in a well funded lab is tragically wrong.
I trust science over hippies. 😜
Toni Stark oh, and if you have like absolutely relentless shower buildup, get yourself a tube of Bartenders Friend powder and a buncha sponges/scrub pads. First you'll let the spray nine dwell to soften up the gunk, then give it a hot rinse of water, shake the Bartenders Friend all the hell over the place, and work your scrubber pads like you're doing chest compressions. For real, use that palm on knuckles upper body + triceps thrust motion you'll decimate the scum then just a light spritz of Spray Nine to tidy up and boom shower is like new and smells lightly of pine.
With Barkeeps Friend and spray nine in the same space: it's got oxalic acid and abrasive particulates. N95 Respirator and ANSI Z87+ eyepro recommended, but I'm kinda a PPE fanatic.
@@Jasruler Thank you again for getting back to me so fast! I bet Lowe's has it also if Home Depot stocks it. Of course, Wallyworld, how did I miss that stuff there? LOL Oh yes, I need a high volume spray bottle not those that barely spray and your hand is killing you from "pulling the trigger" so many times! As an RN, I too, trust science more than hippies :) Off to Home Depot and/or WalMart I go to get this! Again, thank you so very much!
Angela, what is the time frame that it took to complete this task in the shower? Thanks, Wendy
Does grease Lightening get off soap scum and mineral deposits, too?
I have to try this product!! Thank you my angel. 💜
Question what can I shows do you use for work?
Angela Brown sorry I mean what can a shoes do you use for work?
Looks like saucony shoes !! amazing shoes!!
Here is a video on best shoes for house cleaning: m.ua-cam.com/video/i8yJql8tDoM/v-deo.html
Thankyou.
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
I use vinegar & baking soda to clean my shower, Tip. Dry helpful, little scared to try it. But I will try it. I like when you ay leaving the world a cleaner place.
Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 😊
Woah that's impressive!
Glad you think so, thank you!
If you cannot find Greased Lightning, you can use Mean Green instead. Both do the job great.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
Yay.... I was just working up the nerve to go do this! Now I can procrastinate a little longer and hopefully pick up some tips. 😂🙂😃❤
You got this! Your shower will thank you. Keep me posted and let me know how it goes. I'm here rooting for you. :-)
I am going to order it now!!!!
Keep me updated! I want to know how it goes for you.
So, Greased Lightening is safe to use on the dark shower frame? Thank you for this informative video. I've been afraid to clean my dark (bronze shower frame and threshold for fear cleaner would discolor the finish. I'm so glad I spent the last 4 hours looking at ways to clean my shower frame and black molded grout...I'm glad I finally found your videos. Yay!
Almost forgot! What type of gloves are you wearing for protection?
Hi Rhonda, the Greased Lightning is a degreaser, so it shouldn't eat away or tarnish the bronze-coated hardware in your shower. Also, the gloves are most likely nitrile. (Paid Link amzn.to/3FaM9Cq) It's about all I wear.
Angela, I recently found your page and loving all the great cleaning tips.
My question is about ceiling fans…I’ve seen posts how to clean the dust with a pillow case which is fine…but what about grease and grime buildup due to years of not being cleaned?
Would greased lightning be an option?
I have one in my kitchen and dining room which are probably 6’ apart from each other.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Sharon
Hi Sharon, thanks for the kind words and for watching the show. The trick with a greasy ceiling fan is you'll need a ladder. Be careful when you climb on it and keep situational awareness about you.
Yes, you can use greased lightening but put it on a paper towel and wipe the blades. Don't spray it directly on the ceiling fan. It may take off the finish if it is sprayed directly on the blades (depending on the finish.) It will probably streak and will need to be cleaned several times.
The pillow case method works if you are super skilled - many people break the blades using this method. The key is to be very careful keeping the fan and your body stable while cleaning it.
@@AskAngelaBrown thanks so much for your expertise! Have been doing a major house declutter thanks to Clutterbug , The Minimal Mom and A Former Slob Comes Clean…a good cleaning is next for kitchen cabs and soffits including those ceiling fans! I’ll be tuning in for more household cleaning tips for sure!
FYI- someone on FB said the new Dawn PiwerWash cleaner is great for cleaning ovens and no fumes…my self cleaning oven doesn’t work anymore…the door won’t lock…oh well…I tried it and it worked beautifully! Thanks again!
@@sharonmckendrick4431 Thanks for those websites, Going to check them out. I am 64 and need to pare down and learn to appreciate cleaning!
Thanks so much for this video! I wish I had bought this before buying Weiman gas range and degreaser product. I don't like using a product for just one thing, but I didn't know what to buy.
You said that we shouldn't use Greased Lightening on wood cabinets. But how can I remove the greasy gunk from the cabinets above the gas range? Yes, I should be using the range vent more, but what do I do now. Thank you very much!
You have to be careful using a degreaser on wood cabinets because while it will remove the grease, it is possible that it will break down the finish or varnish on the wood - assuming the wood has been sealed. Make sure you read the label before using and that if using it on cabinets you test in an inconpicuous area first. And if you do use it on wood you may have to adjust the dwell time, leaving it on only long enough to remove the grease. You may have better luck with a mild dish doap like Dawn or Fairy.
Greased lightning is my go to cleaner!!! I buy it by the industrial 5 gal jug!
Oh wow...it's great! Thanks for sharing your product feedback.
Boom! Amazing!!
Thank you so much!
Great informative video. Have it on order on Amazon. I have been using "wet and forget" which is great for spraying on my shower tiles after I get out of the shower, leaving on overnight but sometimes it takes 2 applications.
Thanks so much for watching the show and leaving a comment. 👍
I have a acrylic shower/tub combo. Use blue shampoo and conditioner and didn’t notice it in the tub afterward. There are light blue stain “drops” that I can’t get off and when tub is dry it looks like mold. Any suggestions?
I just ran across you channel. You have alot of great information. Will the Greased Lighting work on the caulking?
Greased Lightning is a degreaser and caulking is usually (I'm assuming we're talking showers) is a silicone. So if it's soap scum on the caulking, yes it will work.
@@AskAngelaBrown I am referring to mold in the caulking. I have tried everything that i can think of and what others suggest. Do i need to remove all the caulking and put new in or what?
I'm a huge fan Angela, but a new one. From watching your previous posts I can tell you favour products that have the least impact on our environment but this product, for all it does, it has a relatively detrimental impact on the quality of water in our lakes and streams.. Even the advice to rinse the spray bottle well be fore adding it to your recyclables doesn't make sense. First, it flushes whatever residue remains into the water supply, second, to what end, as most of our recycling is sent to landfills regardless because the cost of recycling is greater than the cost of landfills.
I love your tips, they've changed the way I clean and the time you take to discuss products, their dangers and proper use are invaluable to me. You above anyone, might be able to devise a cleaning method using less harmful ingredients. I have complete faith,.
+Apo Fatrim Hey thanks for your feedback. It’s important to recognize that strong chemicals do have a place in cleaning heavy duty jobs. After a surface or appliance is clean you can maintain it with a less detrimental product. It’s good to know what the heavy duty products are in the event that you ever have to use them. Thanks for watching. 👍
I used it on laundry grease spots. A soccer uniform. Had to let it sit for a bit. Applied twice. Let it sit longer the second time. Then laundered it. Saved the uniform. I put it thru two rinses.
That’s great! Thanks for sharing : )
What tools do you recommend for cleaning bath tubs in the shower ? Do I need to use a new sponge at each house I’m cleaning or is there a better alternative? Starting a residential cleaning business and I want to limit the amount of tools I carry and overhead cost on disposable sponges and scourers
Congratulations on starting your cleaning business! Yes, you want to avoid cross-contamination by not sharing sponges between houses. Depending on how much it is used you may need to replace it anywhere from 1-3 uses. Sanitize and dry the sponge after your cleaning and then keep it in a labeled ziplock bag with the customer’s name and date. Don’t forget dusters, microfiber clothes and cleaning products for your cleaning caddy. Check out my videos for more helpful tips.
Keep me posted on how the business is going. 🤗
Love Greased Lightening! Use it in my kitchen, on my tile floors, on doors that come in from garage, baseboards.... my husband keeps one in the garage, too!
Is it good for cleaning the glass/fiberglass showers doors too?
Sonia Ortiz - I would feel comfortable using it on glass doors, but I’m not sure about fiberglass 🤷♀️ Sorry.
