Dirty Talk

Hi need Help please. Beech wooden floors so dull and look dirty even when washed. Was told to use ammonia and then polish. No luck. Have tried lots of different polish but none work. Floor dull and looks awful. Any tips for good shine. thanks

Actually, this is a question. My tile floor in the kitchen is only a year old. This is the main floor where people enter the home from outside. The grout is suppose to be a light color. It is now a dark dirty color. How do I clean the grout to make it beige again? I've used ammonia and clorox.

I slip a scented dryer sheet in the bottom of the garbage can, in stinky shoes, in the sofa cushions, beside the cat litter pan, in front of my osculating floor fan and in my linen closet for a nice fresh scent throughout the whole house.

this is not a tip,, my grandson has urinated on my bathroom floor, a has done this many times. how do i get rid of this bad smell from my bathroom.

I just found a spot on the floor in our spare bedroom where my dog had urinated, how do I get the smell out, not sure how long it has been there.

for urine on the wooden floor i would try to scrub with Murphy's oil soap.

A question....Does anyone know how to get a urine smell out of a wood floor?????

Although I have improvised with an episode from K&A this one is a gem and worth the effort. Grimy ceramic tiles...biological washing up liquid (used for clothes - doesnt matter how cheap it is) mixed in warm water and a little bleach. Gloves, scrubbing brush, damp cloth and a window squeegee (I think thats how it's spelt). Have another bucket to hand filled with warm water, start scrubbing with the floor brush (the one like cinders used) scrubbing in circular motions, get a damp cloth to wipe the parts which you have scrubbed, then get your squeezgee and wipe away the excess water, get a clean mop soak in the bucket of warm water (prepared earlier) and wash over the part you have scrubbed and squeezgeed, leave to dry and admire your hard work!!!! And your arms will be lovely and toned too!!

To anyone who hates to vacuum or hates the noise that most vacuums make, I suggest investing in the Roomba. The newer generations go over both carpeted and linoleum/hardwood floors and picks up the smallest particles, even pet hairs. It is also extremely quiet. You can barely hear it when you out of the room. You also get the added bonus of entertainment!

A question: PLEASE HELP ME! A MAN URINATED ON MY NEWLY CONCRETED DOWNSTAIRS TOILET FLOOR (IM NO LONGER WITH HIM) & IT WAS A LOT & SOAKED IN OVERNIGHT AS I FORGOT. IVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO GET RID OF THE SMELL ITS AWFUL, MY DAUGHTER WONT GO IN THERE, IVE TRIED, WHITE VINGAR, BLEACH, LEMON JUICE IT IS SO BAD PLEASE PLEASE HELP, IM AT THE STAGE WHERE I WILL HAVE TO GET THE FLOR REMOVED!

WELL THIS ISN'T A TIP BUT HOW CAN YOU GET YOUR KITCHEN FLOOR A REALLY GOOD SHINE? AFTER A LONG TIME OF WASHING IT IT STARTS TO GET A DULL FINISH.

An easy way to get rid of hairspray buildup....combine water and liquid fabric softner (equal parts). Residue comes off easily from floor, countertops and cabinets and it smells great too!

hi,has anyone got any tips on how to remove plaster dust from teracotta kitchen floor tiles,it is on both the tiles and the grout and i have tried everything but no joy,the grout won't come clean??!!!Thanks.

Steamer: My new steamer's already paid for itself by cleaning my vinyl floors. We were going to get new floors, now we're not. Great!

QUESTION: Not a tip. My kids poured something in the air conditioning/heater vents in their bedroom (located on the floor) and the smell alerted me to it. I wrapped my hand in a bleach/water and then vinegar/water solution and put it down inside as far as I could. I pulled out moldy, mildewy grimey slime. How do I clean this area thoroughly? I can still smell some in there....

For garbage cans (rubbish bins): Take a few extra liners to the can when you're replacing the old liner. Just fold them on the bottom, and replace the new one like you would. If you put, say, five, under the new one, you don't have to run to the place where you store your liners five times. Just pull out the full liner, tie it up, place it on the floor, and grab one from the can. Saves steps.

I need help!! Our garden window has a wooden floor that keeps getting black mildew in the corners. It is getting deep into the wood. How do I clean it so I can reseal the wood?

I have figuire this out a month ago. If you use clorex floor cleaner, Scrubbing Bubbles tub cleaner 2/3 filled hot water or warm water in tub & a motorize scrubbing brush like the ones with Dawn written on them. You can get mold, mildrew, soap scum, old cauldon (sorry about the spelling, I mean the white stuff that people put around the tub that drys on it for years) off of the tub. It might take time but it will come off. And I didn't have to use bleach, I didn't have to wear gloves, mask or goggles. I save some money doing that too. Pam-Doggirl3

I am looking for a suggestion to clean my grout on my ceramic tile floor. I can't stomach the smell of vinegar so I am looking for an alternative that won't break my back (had surgery and have newborn). Thanks so much. I am addicted to the show!

Quick tip on how to keep you cabinet doors CLEAN! I use a disposible, pre-moistened mop for my kitchen floors (Swiffer, Mr Clean, etc). Before I use it on the floor, I wipe down all the cabinets. No reaching, superfast, super clean! If it dries just mist it with a little water.
