Acid-Base Cleaner for Hard-Water Deposits
Acid-Base Cleaner for Hard-Water Deposits
Hard-water deposits are alkaline, so an acid-based cleaner is the best way to clean them. Phosphoric acid works well and is safe for most surfaces. Grocery store cleansers with phosphoric acid contain 4 percent to 6 percent acid. You can purchase lime scale removers at janitorial supply stores that contain 8 percent to 12 percent acid to get the job done faster. A higher concentration of acid is safe on most household surfaces as long as you rinse the surface to remove all traces of the acid after the cleaning is complete. Let the acid sit for a few minutes after you apply it to let it work. Tough hard-water deposits may take more than one application. Scrub the applied areas with a white, nylon-backed scrub sponge. Make sure you read any manufacturer's warnings before applying phosphoric acid solutions to surfaces in your home.

Choice of Rubber Gloves
Three Kinds Of Rubber Gloves
The short ones are surgical type gloves available in latex or vinyl (some folks are allergic to latex). Very thin so you can feel your work. With care they can be used several times.
The long green ones are much thicker but still thin enough to feel your work and they can be used many times, over and over.
Then there's the industrial strength, long, heavy duty gloves. If you are willing to trade off some dexterity, these will provide the best protection of any glove we offer. They last a long time!

Ways to Clean Grout
Ways to Clean Grout
Old grout may need cleaning with a wax stripper or heavy-duty cleaner plus a grout brush. Use a bleaching cleanser on tough spots. Once the grout is as clean as you can get it, rinse it well. When it's thoroughly dry, apply a coat of masonry sealer so that it doesn't absorb dirt in the future.
For mildewed grout in tubs or showers, use a grout brush with a 1:5 solution of chlorine bleach and water. Never use bleach in combination with any ammonia-based product and be sure the area is well-ventilated. When you've finished cleaning, rinse the area well to remove all traces of bleach.
Clean colored grout with a heavy-duty cleaner and a grout brush, but don't use bleach because this may remove the color from the grout. Be sure never to use a bleaching solution on colored grout. A masonry sealer can be applied to clean, colored grout to ward off future stains.

How to Clean Ceramic Tiles
How to Clean Ceramic Tiles
No need to wax.. Just sweep and mop on a regular basis and they stay clean and shiny. Mop floors with clear water or just a dash of liquid dish soap. Be sure to change the water when it gets cloudy. Too much soap or dirty water will make floors dull or sticky. Don't use scrub pads on ceramic tile floors or you might scratch them. Our professional cleaners wash most floors by hand, cleaning and drying a small area at a time.

Steps to Clean Air Conditioners
Steps to Clean Air Conditioners
Try to follow the manufacturers guide for cleaning and maintenance. Usually, during the in-use period, the filters need to be cleaned or replaced every 4 6 weeks. Foam filters need only a mild detergent with a water clean and rinse. Paper filters often cant be cleaned so replacement is necessary.
Use only water and mild detergent if necessary; rinse well.
The condenser coils need regular vacuuming or dusting to maintain peak efficiency.
Outside coils often get coated in pollution grime and need wiping down.

Skylight Cleaning
Skylight Cleaning
Skylights are difficult to clean unless the skylight is easlily accessed.
Professional window cleaning and squeegee kit, long or extendable handle, bucket, (window cleaning bucket rectangular in shape if possible) sudsy ammonnia, or mild soap,(such as dish soap) clean cotton rags.
Use a professional window washing applicator and squeegee on an extendable pole or broom handle so you can reach the interior of the skylight. Use a mixture of a few drops of dish soap per gallon of water. Dip the washer/applicator into the solution; wring out excess (window cleaning bucket is best so the washing attachment has an even application of water). Apply to window or skylight using pressure and wipe the entire window. Remove washer from pole and attach the window squeegee; squeegee off water from window with firm, even strokes in one direction, being careful to overlap your previous stroke as you go to avoid streaks. Wipe the rubber on squeegee with a rag in between strokes. Use the same techniques for the outside of the skylight or climb onto the roof. Again use the hand held washer and squeegee. Wrap a cotton cloth around the squeegee and wipe to soak up any missed water and to clean the skylight edges. Plexiglass skylights are prone to scratches so only use a washer/squeegee combination or a soft cloth to prevent scratches. When doing the inside of the Skylight be aware of the mess that will be made from the water and soap and take steps to protect the surrounding area.

Cleaning Brass
Cleaning Brass
There are many different finishes for brass accents, such as door knobs, faucets, or house numbers. Some are coated with a laquer finish, which can be damaged by aggressive cleaners and chemicals.
If the tarnish appears very spotty, the protective laquer finish has likely failed. A cleaner will restore the exposed brass, however the parts still covered with the laquer will remain dull. The ONLY way to restore damaged brass such as this, is to remove ALL of the laquer finish, and restore with a commercially avaliable metal cleaner/polish such as Brasso, Meguiars Metal Restorer, or Nevr-dull. These products all work well on Unfinished brass (No laquer). A good home remedy is to use ketchup and some salt or a cut lemon and some salt, which does work but not as effectively as a good metal or brass polish if the tarnish is particularly bad.
Technique:
Follow manufacturers instructions, however generally these products are applied, allowed to react for a few minutes, them rubbed vigorously to restore shine.
Adding several coats of paste car wax to protect this restored finish. Some pieces (such as exterior house numbers) which have been subject to harsh environmental conditions, may also be pitted. This type of damage is very time consuming to repair, so replacement is usually less expensive in the long run.

Paint Removal of PVC
Paint Removal of PVC
Old paint is very tough to remove.
Try these techniques :
For old paint use a flat razor (which can be found in any hardware store) to scrape off old stain like that.
You do have to be extremely cautious not to scratch the frame. This is why we always will wet down the area we are working on with soap as a lubricant to lessen the opportunity of scratching or damaging the surface.
Also, some time after scraping some off, we use a general purpose solvent to clean off the rest.
