Transcript

Watermarks in your shower. Razor blade. Watermarks are not just stains. They're literally mineral buildup that have calcified onto your glass surface. So a product in scrubbing will never remove them. A razor blade will scrape them off effortlessly. Grab a brand new razor blade, wet the glass, and scrape at a 45 degree angle. Sticky kitchen cabinets? Diluted degreaser. When deep cleaning your cabinets, degreaser is the best at removing embedded grease and cooking oil from your cabinet. Always use it diluted, followed by the triple wipe method. A dry pass to remove excess residue, a wet one to rinse the surface, and for pretty good results, a third dry pass. Streaky stainless seal. Bar Keepers. Bar Keepers is great at removing streaks, water marks, and even rust. Apply a small amount into a scrubbing sponge and scrub gently following the grain of your stainless seal. Followed by the triple wipe method. Greasy hood filters. Rank. Breakup makes wonders at removing
