Very useful. Could you do a segment on paste wax or finishing polish? Both solids that come in a bright yellow can several inches tall. One is MINIWAX Paste Finishing Polish. And the other is SC JOHNSON Paste Wax. I’ve bought them years ago to bring up the shine to a “French polish” but always been too afraid to use them because I don’t know how or on what types of wood finishes would be appropriate or not. Thank you so much for considering. Sincerely, a Big Fan

[@TippyMueller]

In this video you mention using Pledge. I got an interesting tip from my expert on Anderson windows. He said to use Lemon Pledge in the tracks of my sliding windows. Besides smelling great, it lubricates the track and does not attract dust. This treatment keeps the windows sliding well and prolongs the life of the sliding mechanism.

[@blossombud9335]

Hi Angela, so glad I found your videos! So helpful. I am trying to save my 1960s mahogany veneer kitchen cabinets. They are stained, and have a very thin coat of something on them. There are dark streak spots in some of them, ( not mildew) also steam damage, and plenty of dirt and grease especially around the knobs. My plan was to clean them first, then maybe a light sand with 320 grit paper, then use Howards restore a finish, and finally Howard's beeswax polish. I'm not sure what to clean them with? I was told krud kutter pre-paint cleaner, but I don't know if I should be dulling the surface. I have some Krud Kutter general cleaner that I could try but it doesn't specify use on raw wood. Tried a bit of dawn dishwashing soap with vinegar, and Lemon/ lemon rind tea I made mixed with warm water. Then I rinsed with baking soda water mix, and then rinsed well and dried well. Didn't find great results with that, especially the dark streaks and it seemed to be lifting the stain a bit. Seems like the grain is somewhat lifted on them already and the veneer seems quite thin. Can you suggest a product to clean them with?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hi Blossom Bud, if the intent is to sand and restain them, the Krud Kutter Original Degreaser will be just fine. It may remove the grease and gunk build up and if there are dark streak spots - this may remove whatever that is. After you sand them, they should be more of an even finish and re-sealing the wood will give them a new life. Keep me posted, I'm eager to hear how this project goes for you.

[@meldeb3k]

Appreciate the video. Didn't see what product to use on super glossy, finished wood, like formal dining table that has a very dark finish. Thanks

[@AskAngelaBrown]

If it is super glossy it most likely has a top coat or finish of it's own. All you will need is a damp microfiber cloth. Avoid sprays because it will after a while have a build up that will show spots and fingerprints.

[@wallihaley5194]

My absolute furniture polish was by SC Johnson’s “specialty surface” cleaner but unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued. It worked great on wood, stainless steel, granite and leather! The only thing it couldn’t be used on was glass. I have no idea why the SC Johnson company discontinued it, but I do know that many people were very disappointed! On the other hand Angela Brown is absolutely correct that most of the time all you need is a very slightly damp cloth to dust your wood furniture.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Walli, I am so sorry that you can’t find your favorite furniture polish. I suggest you reach out to SC Johnson to see if it’s been discontinued or possibly rebranded with a new look. Here is a link to their contact information: www.scjp.com/en-us/contact I appreciate you watching the video and taking the time to reach out. 😊

This helped so much.....I appreciate that you use a swiffer for most things. I need to find something for my dark wood kitchen cabinets 🤔...would a damp cloth work? Thanks again

Angela, I have been doing things wrong for years, thank you for providing these videos I learn so much (and wasting less product) Can you do a video on cooktops? Mine is glass and I’m afraid to use something abrasive and is there a way to clean scuff marks from a kitchen sink without ruining the glazing? I’ve used soft scrub and I think I’ve taken off the glazing

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hi Kelly, Thanks for the kind words. The glass cooktop can be cleaned with a product like Ceramabryte kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGqoeJ1_e8aArdE and a wet razor. The key to not scratching the cooktop is technique and keeping your surface wet. As for the sink, what type of finish do you have on it? Is it porcelain? Corian?

[@kellyb2519]

Angela Brown i looked up the sink and I think it’s enameled covered cast iron, it’s smooth and shiny everywhere but the very bottom of the sink where I’ve used the soft scrub ☹️. Also I bought the Brite and Clean for the shower and it works great! I appreciate all the information it has really been great!

Hi Angela.... I love your videos, very informative. Question: For someone just starting out is there a multi-purpose cleaner that would be safe on all these items you discussed here? Just trying to keep things simple at first. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

When it comes to furniture, if you are looking for one solution - it would be a damp microfiber cloth. That won't leave any residue and will be safe for the surface type.

I am old school using many rags I constantly aquire. I can throw them away after use. I have never seemed to have a problem after the last 60 something years. I am using microfiber cloths more now. My question is what about using rags like old towels? 🤔 I know this is an older video. I hope you will see my question.👍✌️

[@algavern8001]

C Stevens --I also prefer old tee shirts or soft cloths sprayed with Enddust for dusting. I find the Swiffers hold the dust and then redeposit it back on the furniture. I am astounded at all the people that love Swiffers--just more landfill trash and extra expense--though convenient to grab if you are just dusting one or two thing-- but so wasteful!! Also we were always taught to apply polish with cheesecloth rags ( I guess I'm really old school --pre microfiber ! Watch out for old towels, as they can leave a lot of lint. Old tee shirts are much better. Save the towels for cleaning up messes or washing down things.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

[@main2333]

Thank you for answering my questions from your other videos. I don’t know how you do it when there are so many of them! If you see this one. Is it ok to use wood oil to shine stainless steel sinks and fridge?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Technically yes, I believe we are talking about Howard Cutting Board Oil which is a food-grade mineral oil. Here is the paid link amzn.to/3wVquJJ The thing with using it for your stainless steel appliances, unlike using it on your cupboards and painting it on with a paint sponge, for a stainless steel fridge you would put a bit of it on a cloth and rub it into the steel. You don't want an excessive amount because you don't want a build up on your fridge that will attract dust and fingerprints. Does that make sense?

[@akamelrod8872]

Hi Angela, do you think that "Therapy" would be a good choice for a kitchen cabinet which has been treated, but has areas where the lacquer is worn off?

Howard Feed-N-Wax is a great product for antique and porous wood furniture as it can restore the shine. I’m sorry I don’t have enough to information on your table to know if this is the best choice. If it’s possible, I suggest you contact the furniture manufacturer and ask what they recommend for your cherry table. Good luck and keep me posted on how things turn out with the table. 🤗

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You can use Murphy Oil Soap in a spray with a damp cloth. It looks like this amzn.to/358DcX3 but you can find it a lot cheaper at Home Depot or Lowes. This will break down the buildup of furniture polish and leave your table clean. I believe that Murphy Oil Soap is also a no-rinse product so you can just spray and wipe.

[@maureenhargrave3568]

I have replaced all these products with Odies Oil except for ones that clean off dirt. Then I apply ODIES oil a paste smelling of luscious lemon, is food safe, solvent free, non-toxic, waterproof. It is safe around pets and children. Can be used indoors or outdoors. Seems expensive but a little bit goes a long way. It is applied with a special pad, left for 15 - 20 minutes and then buffed off. I have not tried other Odie products such as a Odies Super Penetrating oil, wood butter, or wax.

What is a good counter top cleaner?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It depends on the surface and it depends on the soil. Every cleaner has a pH balance to it. If you use one that is too strong it can dissolve the finish on your counter, leave streaks or eat the sealer. What type of countertop do you have?

I have a question...I am a self employed house cleaner and used The Method Everyday Wood Cleaner for about 2-4 months and 3 different clients had the same issue of...well if they sat a piece of paper, with print on it, on the table, and the paper or wood became wet, the print from the paper transferred to the wood! Luckily these weren’t important or expensive tables to the clients and were easily replaced. I am insured. I also, now, only use swifter duster. My question is, why did this happen and could i have prevented it? Thank you Angela I appreciate all the hard work you put into your videos! I’ve learned so much!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hi Kristina, No I don't carry all this with me. Most furniture can be wiped with a damp cloth which removes dust and keeps the shine. If a customer has a preference for a particular furniture polish I buy a bottle (add the cost into the cleaning so the customer is paying for it.) Then I label the can or bottle with the customers name and their house number and their time slot. (i.e. Sterling, 3102, Wed 9:00) We have a shelf that holds "customers supplies" and when packing a caddy for that house we only take their polish. That way it is not used on any other house and a bottle or can lasts a year or so.

I'm looking for the best all-purpose wood cleaner (not polish). Do you think either Method, Bona, or Murphy's Oil will work for this, and what would they ruin (if anything?)

Which is 'better" and could the Bona cleaner (or Method) really ruin any type of wood or finish? I don't care about what's shinier or whatever, only about ensuring nothing gets ruined. I haven't really tried Murphy's yet bc I wasn't clear on it's purpose. Thank you so much I'm learning so much from your channel. I definitely subscribed!

I don't know what type of cabinets you have. The label on the back should specify what types of surfaces it is okay to use it on. And I'm assuming you were going to use it on cabinets rather than just as a common furniture polish. When in doubt, the Safety Data Sheet should have the manufacturers contact information and you can ask them.

OMG so much information. Thank you.

How do you get white marks from hot bowls off your kitchen table? :(

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Oh no, I hate when that happens. These marks are often caused by the moisture trapped between the hot bowl and the table's finish. If the marks are minor, you might be able to remove them using a hairdryer on a low heat. Keep the hairdryer moving back and forth over the white marks for about 20-30 seconds. The heat helps to evaporate the moisture trapped in the finish. Once the marks are gone, use table cloths or placemats in the future to prevent new marks from forming. 👍

Did you already have these supplies? Should I invest into one of each just in case 😉 Thank you 😊❤️🙋

The theory is also right...there are hundreds of different types of wood...and its definitely the truth that all wood arent created equal...so is it just me....or anyone else who see the real linkage....reminds me of bibical teaching. They would say not to be carnal minded. I know you dont know... you flim this with confidence that your only talking about tree wood...logs.. carpentry style. However your right any how you take it....this video deserves an award...periodt.

What do you do if a child puts stickers on an oak table how do you remove the mess it leaves behind

[@AskAngelaBrown]

If you are able to get up the stickers awesome. If not using a cellulose sponge (without the scrubby) looks like this amzn.to/31B7Vhd, dipped in mineral oil, looks like this amzn.to/3zyAng2 and then rub generously over the stickers/sticky area. Use a plastic razor, looks like this amzn.to/3q3iQJR to gently push off the sticker and residue. Wipe clean with a paper towel and then polish with a damp cloth.

Thank you for being part of that growth. We've been very blessed with an amazing and supportive audience. And we are so thrilled you are here. Thanks for sharing in our joy. 💛

[@bigred9428]

I am surprised you can use only one swiffer per house. Mine start putting dust back onto the furniture before one room is done.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂

[@LoveLife-gv8jg]

Ok. I am an essential oil crazy person. I mixed peppermint with Murphys ready made spray. I cleaned a wood dresser and the color changed😬..as I kept cleaning thinking of how to beg for forgiveness I got lucky because the color came back...I'm still confused about why and how but I will NEVER do it again.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

The wood may not have been sealed. Using an oil based spray on unsealed wood can change the color of the wood. I'm glad the color was restored. Whew!

[@LoveLife-gv8jg]

@@AskAngelaBrown yes! Lucky

[@TW-gb6mh]

Be careful, the essential oils will dissolve the finish on the wood. Found that out the hard way. On the bright side, it is a super fast way to strip the finish if you want to change the finish!

[@lovetodaylisa3967]

I used Murphy's Soap oil. i like the smell and less chemicals

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Good to hear that! I'm glad you find it helpful😊

Hola Ángels . Gracias por compartir tus tips de limpieza Te lo agradezco mucho personalmente yo no trabajo limpiando casas pero le ayudo a mi hija a limpiar su casa y gasto mucho dinero en productos de limpieza. Y ella tiene hard water. Gracias . Mire tu vídeo para limpiar esas manchas amarillas ♥️

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thank you so much for your kind compliment!

[@kathydoss9171]

In my agreement, if someone wants furniture polish, they have to supply it. I also ask that they try it first to make sure it works properly for their furniture. Thank you for your valuable info and reviews!

[@benjaminmwangangi8731]

Its might sound rude to tell client to supply the polish. Better quote a price that include the polishing service. I believe that polish you will not use it once or in one client

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your thoughts on my video here. I appreciate it!

[@kimerleviccaro1957]

I have to dust and then polish? That’s two steps?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

It depends on what you are cleaning. In most cases, you can just use a damp microfiber cloth. If you have older (think antique) wood, you may want to use a furniture polish to nourish the wood.

[@kellyyork3898]

My face is old and dried out, so I guess I need some kind of wax to help. ( Indeed, my dermatologist ssid I need to be using a thicker CREME and not just a lotion. ). ; )

[@AskAngelaBrown]

+Kelly York yes, moisture is important at every step. Protect your skin from the sun as well. 👍 Thanks fir sharing this. ❤️

[@flgirl45]

I haven't used pledge in years. I had clients that had massive buildup on their furniture from using it. None of my clients want this used in their homes.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You're absolutely right, avoiding heavy buildup from overuse of Pledge is wise. Clients don't want that residue coating their furniture. There may be alternatives for residential cleans for some clients that make more sense. Thanks for sharing that professional perspective.

[@professionalpolishman589]

Great

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Glad you think so, thanks for watching!

[@trimericbark2755]

Should I charge extra for this

[@AskAngelaBrown]

We don't charge extra for polishing furniture unless it's waxing furniture (as in antique furniture) If the customer has a specific polish they use, yes, you do charge extra for that and keep that polish for their home only.

[@zanaamin7029]

Pls help me i put anti bacterial liquid on my cupboard when i clean it it makes whiite patches kindly tell me how it will remove

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Hi Zana, it sounds like it has bleach of some sort in it. Chemical patches like this is hard to remove. What type of surface is your cupboard? And what type of chemical created the patches?

[@hoosbahkhan6898]

How do you remove scratch marks from wooden table

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Do you know about furniture repair kits? They come in all styles and colors for different types of wood. amzn.to/349xDa6 from filler to furniture crayons and markers amzn.to/2QKQepR they are awesome and you can't see the scratch when you're done.
