Post-Flood Clean up

8/26/2021

0 Comments

 
After the long dry spell we're now seeing rainstorms come through. That is very good news but it does bring the risk of flooding. If you should be the victim of such a calamity here is a guide that shows you how flood clean up works. It includes points such as acting quickly, ventilating to prevent mold, and checking for hidden pockets of water and moisture.

The House that Cleans Itself

Yes, it really exists, at least it did for a number of years. Frances Gabe was an Oregon inventor and artist who designed the house and had it built in the 1980s to save women from the drudgery of housework. The contents of the house were made of waterproof materials and then spigots in the ceilings would spray each room with soap and then water, which emptied into drains in the floor. Dishes are washed inside their cabinets. The house has been called "functional and attractive" by architects and builders. Here is a video about it:

Cleaning Large Showers

8/11/2021

So here's the dilemma in cleaning technique. In a large shower stall you need to get yourself in there to clean it and you need to rinse the walls as part of the process so how do you do both those things without getting your shoe soles a sloppy mess that tracks through the rest of the bathroom? The solution: shower caps. Slip one on each shoe and simply take them off when you step out of the shower. No muss, no fuss!

oven Racks

Oven racks are among the most frustrating things to clean. I have tried spraying them with an oven cleaner with the rest of the oven, which softens the burnt on gunk, but it doesn't do a thorough job of cleaning them. I have also tried using a steel soap pad, but that scrapes off some of the finish on the rack rods. The solution: using a brass brush (looks like a metal grout brush, a little bigger than a tooth brush) to rub over the the rack rods. Does the trick efficiently and, miraculously, without dullling the chrome finish of the rack!
