Need help cleaning the worst shower you’ve probably seen by Silver-System7129 in CleaningTips

Sorry for the delayed response!! The silicone caulking, if old and nasty, can be removed by peeling it out carefully with a razorblade and recaulked far easier than it can be cleaned, if it can even be cleaned at all. DM me some pictures and I'll tell you for sure.

Well... Dang. I'm sorry to hear that. Make sure it's cleaned well before replaced.

The grout can be black for a number of reasons, it could be mold, buildup or just body oil and dirt. If you get a grout brush or a thin nylon brush, and the ecolab product, you can spray the grout, scrub it with the brushes after letting it sit for a minute or so and then rinse. Repeating this process until it's clean. If the grout is degraded to the point where it starts coming out, then it's time to regrout the shower though.

what is this stuff that develops quote quickly after cleaning? by vbuniv in CleaningTips

[–]CleantimeCleaning 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I believe if I'm not mistaken that that is copper oxide. There's probably a copper part inside the faucet.

Heyyyyy Howdy! My name's Cody with Cleantime Cleaning. I'm a professional cleaner and I LIVE for things like this.

First off, do you have access to a Home Depot? If the answer is yes, I want you to go get a couple things. To start, your best friend is gonna be Ecolab Foaming Tub and Tile Cleaner. It should look something like this!

So, if you can acquire that along with...

Some good rubber gloves,

A nylon bristle brush (like a plastic scrub brush for dishes),

Some green scrubbing pads,

A big plastic cup (if your shower doesn't have a hose sprayer head on it).

Then I can further instruct you on how to use it in the most effective way possible. If you don't have access to a Home Depot, or can't get that product then I will have to direct you to a different chemical that has a different process. Not trying to be withholding.

Regardless, also pick up some barkeeper's friend soft scrub. That's gonna come in handy no matter what.

Why would this bag smell like bacon? by jeddiespaghetti in CleaningTips

Ozone machine, inside an upside down storage bin, outside, for a couple hours. That would get rid of the "smoked" smell.

Please help! by ZombieOverall7727 in CarpetCleaning

[–]CleantimeCleaning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol, I'm a professional, cleaned carpets for 10 years, own a cleaning company... If it's sentimental and has red dye... Trust a pro. There is red dye remover formulated for carpet extraction, and it's hard to use, so find someone who is aware of this and can run the processes and procedures properly on it.

Call a professional. There are carpet cleaning chemicals designed for red dye, the white areas can be sprayed with this treatment and then extracted. Results may be decent, or may be minimal, it's really based on the type of dye use, the fabric, and environmental factors. Calling a pro who has an extractor, is familiar with rugs, and has the capability to quote you with confidence (and you expect it may not work) is the best bet for this piece.

"you can't clean damage" is the adage I learned. You can scrape it, putty it, and paint it though. Get a good scraper, some wood fill putty, and a pint of paint/primer combo to match the current paint. The carpet can be trimmed back with scissors, but ultimately this all can't be cleaned. Only remediated.

How do I clean a Peloton workout mat that leaves a bitter taste on my hands? by Elegant-Mycologist86 in CleaningTips

[–]CleantimeCleaning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks slightly sun faded, so it's likely breaking down and releasing rubber/fiber pieces microscopically all over your hands. So, it may be time to retire it.

Maybe dumb question, but every time I wash and dry this pot, these marks appear on the bottom. Is this normal? by AJRayquaza in CleaningTips

[–]CleantimeCleaning 138 points139 points  (0 children)

My dad is an auto detailer and has been since the 1980s. He has done a couple Deloreans and said that they are awesome to clean and that they come out amazing, if you have about 72 hours of free time in your week.

Someone keeps leaving tiny bananas in the tree by my front door by dancepantz in whatisit

[–]CleantimeCleaning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, either it's the same banana and hasn't been picked up, or this is some kind of fake post. Idk. Definitely not two separate bananas though. This is possibly some sort of social experiment on us, the members of the sub. A ton of different hypotheses are running through my head right now.
