@@CleanThatUp Hey Brandon, I messaged you several times. I don't want to repeat the whole story yet again. I need your help please. I'm using for the first time Zep Grout Cleaner & Brightener. It DOESN'T WORK! I've had to keep going over the grout over and over almost everyday! There's the RARE chance it'll finally white a small line, but the end are dark and uneven. I can't do this anymore! I've tried everything else. I've followed directions & do everything a bit different each time. Even got an electric brush. I might buy a steamer once I finish the bottle of Zep. But not too sure what to look for in a grout steamer. Any advice on the Zep & steamer please?
I knew the “soaking in vinegar for hours” trick for sprayers. But CLR for 2-3 mins? Yes, thank you! Btw, ty for showing how you rinse shower walls when the shower arm/head are stationary. I bought a square bowl from Dollar Tree, and use that to rinse the walls. I used to splash, rather than pour on the rinse water. Your method is much better.
I love these videos! Even if we don't need the video at the immediate time, you have done most of everything else so all we have to do is just search for it. Thank you for cleaning, doing a good job and for making these videos!
@@sassysandie2865 Those plastic jars powdered Parmesan comes in. I've got a jar of baking soda in the kitchen and one of baking soda and one of cornstarch in the bathroom.
I have a cheap toilet brush I’ve dedicated to my garbage disposal (it’s never been in a toilet!). I use some BKF on the brush and stick it in the disposal and go to town. Twisting as I slowly pull the brush out gets that disgusting rubber flap very clean!
Awesome idea! But honestly, I can't even look at a toilet brush or plunger without being grossed out. I can't even stand having the plunger in a bag to conceal it next to the toilet - I can't even use a plunger to unclog the toilet because it's SO disgusting! 🤢 & I'm trying to find a way to never "go potty" ever again! LOL I HATE the sounds, the smells, the looks, etc. 😫🤢🤮 I actually have to divert my attention while using the toilet: I either listen to music or look through my cell phone for anything interesting 😂!
@@kimgb8248 I like the Clorox wands that have the disposable scrubber end. That is the best as the gross end gets tossed and then you just rinse off the end of the wand. 😁
I'm a domestic house cleaner, but Brandon.. I still love to watch your videos! I think it's probably for the gratification I get from it, haha. However, you do have such a way of showcasing things.
I used to clean 5 star accommodation - and broke records within the company for number of clients who requested they only send me back. Two cloth system is a must. For anything except floors, pure white vinegar in a spray bottle. Glass, stone, timber tops. Two clothes, as well as paper towels (or s roll of good quality toilet paper) for specifically dirty spots. To polish stainless steel - a few drops of baby oil on a clean dry cloth. No need for gloves, expensive cleaning products or fumes. Maintaining separation between the clean and soiled areas (and cloths) is the key. And not 🚫 over doing it with any liquids! If yiu are getting streaking, too much moisture (including the oil). Great channel though mate, always good to see how others are doing it. Great presentation skills, and tidy affiliate links to helo you cover your costs!
Guess I’m the odd man out because I’m not a fan of Bar Keepers Friend. I get better results with Comet in my sink, however I will definitely try the CLR on my sprayer and the Scub Daddy holder is adorable.
I don’t like the cream bar keepers friend the powder you can’t beat that. I always after using the powder to clean the sink I will add a dab of dish detergent to wash the sink down sparkles like new. I am a domestic engineer I did housecleaning for a living. I am open minded still learning . I love cleaning, it has always been a labour of love. I believe in using products that will practically do the job for you, when you are working for others you have got to get it done right as quickly as possible do a good job. Try using iron out in your toilet tank , bowl leave the water in cleans like a new toilet does the job itself. I just add the iron out a bit of dish detergent let it set over night is the easiest way or when you are leaving for work to give it time to set, especially if it is quite soiled it does an excellent job. I get it at the hardware store.
I would also recommend using a garbage disposal cleaner to clean out the inside of your garbage disposal. You can find some good ones for not that much, I find it really helps keep the smells out of the sink. The ones I use are just tablets you drop in and run the disposal, they foam up so I use them before I clean my sink.
Thanks for more great info and tips! I'm a bit of a clean freak about my sink, but mine is enamel-coated cast iron, white, so it really tends to show dirt and stains. I use Soft Scrub with sponge daddy with good results
The powder bar keepers friend is the best it shines like new be completely looking like new if done properly, there will be no brown left behind even around the drain.
Here's another source of phantom smells, often overlooked. Detritus builds up inside the inlet pipe that connects the dishwasher to the food disposal. I find the opening under the gasket at the mouth of the disposal and using a narrow bottle brush, I scrub it before running a dishwashing cycle. As the dishwasher drains, all the loose stuff flushes out and it's clean again.
New sub here. I've never purchased the Scrub Daddy because I didn't think I could use it on my stainless steel sink. Didn't realize they were scratch free. Thanks for the video!
Perhaps this works for medium stains and generally dirty sink. My sink had deep dark stains (looked like dried oil) compounded by hard water stains (Texas). I ended up sanding the sink with 400 grit sandpaper (I wet sanded it). Worked perfectly. I will polish with automobile rubbing compound and polish for brilliant shine. This saved me from buying a new sink. You might try this. Note sandpaper can cause scratch marks on your sink. If so you might need to sand with finer grades wet sandpaper (say 400, 600. 800, 1000, then 2000 grit to get scratch marks off) and then polish. No guarantees here, just a suggestion. You can try on a small hidden section first to check. YMMV.
Good video the only thing I wish that I hadn’t done was using my toothbrush like you suggested. It’s been two weeks since I did this your way and I still can’t get the taste out of my mouth. Any suggestions?
Barkeepers Friend may very well be the best cleaner on the market. When we purchased our home last year, it was going to be a few months before gutting the kitchen. I used that stuff on the existing counters, sink, appliances, they all sparkled and looked like they probably did in 1998 when they were installed. The cleaning lady must have stock in the company, because she uses it on everything! I will say, the Pink Stuff gives it a run for its money though!
Basic chemistry: acids and bases. Most cleaners are alkaline because organic materials - especially greases - are more vulnerable to alkaline disruption.
My sink needed cleaning, and I knew you’d help me do it right! So I looked this up, and when you mentioned cleaning the underside of the faucet, I thought, “Oh! I should be cleaning that, shouldn’t I!” Because I don’t think I’ve ever thought of it, in three years of having it. 😳🫣 It was DISGUSTING. Like, horrifying. But, no more-now it’s nice and clean! Thank you so much for these complete, concise videos!
Agree about buffing. If I’m putting in the effort to get it clean I want the payoff of some shine! Power Paste from Scrub Daddy is quick and gives my sink’s particular type of stainless steel a shine like no other.
@@HeronCoyote1234So what do we use on granite anyway? I never knew you can't use many chemicals on granite without causing damage until I moved into my apartment 2 years ago. Just never knew or thought about it before. 🤔
@@tanithschneider3051 I think they advise NIT using BKF on granite. But they have a separate product specifically for granite countertops. Haven't tried it yet. Regular BKF may etch or dull certain surfaces, is what they state in their labels.
And it's totally safe. It's just feldspar, no chemicals. At least it used to be - I haven't looked lately. Barkeeper's Friend has chemicals in it in addition to feldspar. If I had known that before I never would have bought it. I used Bon Ami for decades.
@@ellen4956 Bon Ami is roughly the same as Soft Scrub and most kitchen powder cleaners. Of course Barkeepers Friend has acidic additives; that is what it is for. We use vinegar without complaint but it is not as strong as Barkeeper's friend. The chemical Barkeeper's Friend uses is oxalic acid, as found in beets, chard, spinach, rhubarb, and tea. I love the oxalic acid in raspberries.
I use Clorox clean up. Spray the sink and garbage disposal, walk away, come back in 10 minutes, rinse with hot water . Follow up with comet cleanser and rinse and sink is very shiny and like new
LOVE your videos!! Have you or will you do one on how to clean Beats 🎧 headphones, especially the fabric part? Mine get so dirty because I work at a woodshop and I don’t know what to use on the leather and fabric. Thanks!
I use bar keepers dry first , rinse , then use dawn , rinse, then use vinegar and rinse, then dry well and then I use wd40 and buff. It shines like brand new!
I use to use the Barkeeper’s Friend powder but stopped because that powder would fly up in the air and get in my eyes and nose. I would have to take a shower after working with it. I switched to Soft Scrub with Bleach gel and it works great. I also noticed you put a new sponge in the sink after cleaning with the blue one. Can you not re-use sponges after you cleaning with them? Doesn’t the bleach kill all the germs in the sponge?
Some people suggest putting on a finish of olive oil or the like, what do you think? I would think it may make it shine, but the oil would attract...gunk.
I read that it's just watered down Dawn plus some rubbing alcohol. But I do like how their spray bottle makes the product a bit foamy. I got a bunch of refills really cheap on Prime Days last year, but when I run out, I'm going to try putting a DIY recipe in the Dawn spray bottle and see how it goes! I use it to clean everything from baking sheets to my shower; I think the alcohol makes a big difference in grime removing capability. But it does dry out my skin if I'm not careful. 😊
Great video and I love Bar Keepers Friend, except for the odor. Really kinda lingers and isn't very pleasant....at least for me. I also never let it sit for more than a minute as per manufacturer directions, and rinse incredibly well. Yet that odor stays forever.
Hey! Yes - here’s me cleaning mine with it How to clean a black composite sink ua-cam.com/users/shortst0GbO1b5caI?feature=share :) I would definitely go with the soft cleanser over the powder to be as gentle as possible with it.

I tried to use bar keeper's friend on my sink but it still looked cloudy from some chemicals i used on the sink. Any suggestions for getting rid of a cloudy kitchen sink? I've tried barkeeper's friend. hot water and dawn dish soap.
Wow, a thorough straight-to-the-point cleaning demonstration including methods & products…in just over 4 minutes! It’s one of the best I’ve seen!!! Thank you, Sir!
Love ya. Two things: Anyone who lets a sink get that dirty isn't interested in cleaning tips. Secondly, Is it actually harmful to the finish to leave Barkeepers Friend on a long time or just unsightly?
I would not recommend leaving any cleanser in place for long. Cleansers are usually either alkaline (like Soft Scrub) or acidic (like Barkeepers Friend). Either can discolor some surfaces if left there indefinitely.
We do have them in Australia. At least in Sydney I know that Meriton has installed them in every apartment for the last 40 years. The brand is Inskinerator. I had one in my apartment in 1985, but they were around at least five years before that. Every rental property I’ve ever seen has had one. Tenants put all sorts of crap down them like wooden chopsticks, or boiled rice (which sets like cement and blocks the pipes). They are a nasty breeding ground and often landlords totally remove them because of the problems they cause and the high cost of maintaining constantly replacing them every time a tenant moves out.
Degrease with vinegar. Use strainers to prevent solids from clogging drains. Use regular soap and bleach mixture to clean stainless steel. Rinse. Avoid earth killing chemicals and spend less. The toothbrush is a good idea.
Bonus tip: scrub with white flour and dry sponge before buffing. This will smoothen out a lot of the small scratches, so it will shine even more after buffing.
Chemistry! Comet and Soft Scrub are alkaline - great for breaking down oxidized oils on the surface. Barkeepers Friend is acidic - It is effective against hard water deposits (not too built-up), marks left behind by bumping aluminum into the surface or left behind by heat transfer onto ceramic cooktops.

The oil will oxidize and leave a gummy deposit. The deposit can be removed with alkaline cleansers (most are alkaline) but I'll pass that up.
Make a thick paste with baking soda and water and scrub it. Comes out bright and shiny with all stains removed. 🙂
Our new garbage disposal guard is removable. I will never buy another without that option. I scrub it clean regularly!
Use a metal polish finally to finish polishing it to a brilliant shine.

Tenants put all sorts of crap down them like wooden chopsticks, or boiled rice (which sets like cement and blocks the pipes). They are a nasty breeding ground and often landlords totally remove them because of the problems they cause and the high cost of maintaining constantly replacing them every time a tenant moves out.
@@katrinat.3032 how was the plumbing different? And how old is old to you?
@@AlphaGeekgirl I’m a renter and I wish there wasn’t a garbage disposal in my sink. I never use it because it doesn’t do a thorough job.
I am a new subscriber and am really impressed with your videos! Thank you for the great tips!
Thanks for subscribing!
Thank you. New Subscriber.
Degrease with vinegar. Use strainers to prevent solids from clogging drains. Use regular soap and bleach mixture to clean stainless steel. Rinse. Avoid earth killing chemicals and spend less. The toothbrush is a good idea.
Bleach is an Earth killing chemical
Good job
A brillo pad or family dollar pads work just fine to me.
All you need is a bit squeeze of cream cleaner and a cloth. Rinse with water.
Is this safe for thr black stainless steel sink?
Amazing
My WW2 generation Grandmother would be amazed this video is needed.
My sponge sometimes turns a gray color when i scrub my stainless steel sink. Is that something I should be worried about??
Nope totally normal in my experience.
How do I remove small specks of rust forming on my 4 year old kitchenaid stainless steel fridge?
Bonus tip: scrub with white flour and dry sponge before buffing. This will smoothen out a lot of the small scratches, so it will shine even more after buffing.
If you have a Moen faucet, they have a lifetime guarantee. So you can call them to get a brand replacement!
They sure do, and I've replaced my twice. 😊
Good to know, thanks.
Whoa! I didn’t know this, thanks for the tip!
Yes, they are amazing! Love Moen products.
I did this 2 yrs ago, they wanted the receipt & we had it!! I think the representative was a little snarky 🤷🏼♀️
Love your sink! Would you let me know the brand and model?
Love your video ❤
Ceramic cook top cleaner does the trick
What’s the difference between barkeepers Friend and comet or soft scrub?
Chemistry! Comet and Soft Scrub are alkaline - great for breaking down oxidized oils on the surface. Barkeepers Friend is acidic - It is effective against hard water deposits (not too built-up), marks left behind by bumping aluminum into the surface or left behind by heat transfer onto ceramic cooktops.
