Can you do a video on cleaning historic homes. Lots of stone, wood, tight corners.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

That would be a great video since many of them are drafty, have leaks that let in bugs and have aging materials that can erode with the wrong chemical solution. Thanks for mentioning this.

@@AskAngelaBrown we cleaners in historic colonial America will greatly appreciate this! Thank you in advance.

[@lynntupper1827]

Yes, I’ll have to look to see if there’s a video for this seeing as it’s been awhile for this request. I just moved into a home built in 1870, which of course is not the oldest here in Massachusetts, but still considered “historic” in the seaside city I’ve moved into. I think the hardwood floors may be the original and those I’m interested in not ruining. I did buy the concentrate for Mrs. Meyer’s, but in the bluebell scent which is very mild, but forgot it the day I was cleaning the floors so I tried to buy the most mildest, low ingredient product at the Dollar Tree and bought Ajax multi-purpose Citrus & Eucalyptus concentrate, I mopped the floors and then did a mop with warm water just to make sure there wasn’t any residue left behind and it did a great job, and it was damp microfiber mopping with both the cleaner and warm water, as a lot of water is not good for the hardwood, as you know of course haha. Or really most floors, as I used my steam mop on a high setting because another place I lived had filthy vinyl fake wood floors, and it unfortunately damaged parts of the floor due to the amount of water. In the future I will be using the cleaner for the counters, cabinets, quick clean ups, etc. But, I also want to try Sal’s Suds as I forgot about that cleaner. Thank you for your videos and sorry for rambling.

[@benkeith2077]

I love love love this video. I must admit that for a long time I did experiment and mix up my own concoctions from time to time. I’m not a professional chemist, but I did enjoy chemistry in my youth and knew enough to not do anything really dumb when I was mixing. I also had a good relationship with the company I bought my products from and I could always double check with them if I had any questions. But I stopped doing that for the most part because I realized that it set a bad example for my cleaners, they had no idea the precautions I took, so I didn’t want them to think that mixing things for the sake of curiosity was safe. Now I might add a little vinegar to something plant based if I need my all purpose to cut through some unexpected thick grime, but that’s about it. I’m glad you included Dr. Bronner’s in your list, I love the stuff

Thank you, Angelia, for sharing these very useful cleaning products that are 100% safe for families across America, especially when it comes to our children and pets to keep them safe and Corona. I am a huge fan of Dr Bronners and Meyers Products. My son was diagnosed with Asthma and Exema at birth. I didnt know what options to take but I knew that over the counter medications that had harmful chemicals wasnt going to help. So I turned to natural food and natural products which saved his life. Thankfully, my son is now 13 and is no longer suffering with asthma, allergies, or exema. I am keeping a clean environment for my family. In addition, I do stress the importance of implementing healthy habits. Now, I have become actively involves as a Health Coach to help others develop healthy habits. Your life and family is worth investing in good healthy lifestyle. Be safe out and much love from my family to yours.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Thanks Athena for your kind words and for sharing your story. I'm so thrilled to hear that you son responds better to earth friendly products. We teach in our house cleaner training that the deep clean of a home may need stronger products to cut the grime, lime, rust etc. And then maintenance products can most often be used thereafter to maintain the clean. When it comes to cleaning chemicals, less is more. :-)

[@itsacarolbthing5221]

I think many people don't read instructions, which is why they have disappointing results. Although I do use home made cleaners for my home (check out Clean My Space, for home made safe cleaners), I would never use homemade products if I was cleaning professionally. Equally, if you didn't hear what Angela said, DO NOT MIX CLEANERS. It could kill you. Thanks Angela, for another great video!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Well said! And thank you so much for your feedback and for watching the video! 😊

[@glassanddiaphane]

Thank you for taking the time to explain the importance of following the manufacturer's instructions when using chemicals, it's a very common thing that people asume their "mix" is safe and "effective" when it's not. I use the Lysol multisurface cleaner just because it's the one always available in the supermarket, the price is not too high either and the scent is ok, but I wouldn't say is the best one I have tried. I mainly use it in to clean the kitchen. I think I have seen the Mrs. Meyers one before so I might give it a go next time. Thank you for your recommendations!

The price point is $20 for a 32 oz. container - and while that is a concentrate, many professional cleaners are buying concentrates by the gallon like OdoBan that are 128 oz for $10.99.

Wondering how pH is affected when diluting down concentrates? I live/work in regional area in Australia where vacation properties have rainwater and riverwater plumbed to their properties...so filtration systems vary from having only for drinking/kitchen sink and none in bathrooms to whole house. Alot of buildings use Colorbond or galvanised iron for roofing/water catchment area and then varying types of materials for water storage (poly lined galvanised iron tanks etc). Should I be using pH strips to test final mixed solutions? Thanks for your informative resources.

[@deandoxtator7137]

Hi Angela can you do a video on why cleaning products call for cold water instead of hot or warm water.

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Great topic. Yes, the short answer is that some cleaners need hot water to "activate" the cleaning power. (Think OxiClean)

I need one to clean my vinyl tile floors in the back of the house high traffic area and starting to stain I don't know witch on to use.. I was thinking about Eco-orange. but not sure

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Have you used Sal Suds? It's a biodegradable cleaner amzn.to/3Fr2fUC and 1 drop in a mop bucket will do wonders on your floors. Stay away from any cleaners that will leave a buildup.

[@Sacgirl03]

So many great options, how do I choose?!!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

You might have to flip a coin...lol! All jokes aside, see which one covers most of your cleaning needs. Thanks for watching.

What's the ph of Mrs Meyers multi purpose cleaner? It was missing...

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Depending on the version you are using, you can scan the back of the label and pull up the Smart Label which will take you to their website where you will find the Safety Data Sheet. The pH should be in section #9 of the SDS.

Ms Meyers is amazing for your daily cleaning. It's wonderful as a cleaner and it smells so nice and refined (for a cleaner). I love the seasonal scents like snowdrop in winter and rose in spring, but the lavender or basil (if it don't want floral or want the least scented version possible) scents are my go-tos year round of I can't get a seasonal scent. It does clean REALLY well and is safe to put on practically everything. However, if you truly have a gunky, grimey, really gross built up gunk (like my G's?) then you can't go wrong with 409, that stuff will get it up. It's the only cleaner that helped me get crayon, but not paint, off several walls... Toddlers. Anyways, it's not the best for your daily counter wipe down but it's great for cleaning up the aftermath of a severe depressive episode where the routine cleaning has been absent for weeks with children around, oh yeah. I personally don't think Castile soap is my preferred cleaner unless I need something exceptionally gentle, but it still leaves a lot of residue. When I had my kids in hospital, they'd give us ketchup sized packets of pure Castile soap to clean our breast pump parts and baby bottles. You could still feel the slick fat residue even with an ideal bottle brush (if you're lucky enough to get one in hospital... I've only gotten one once and it was a useless silicone bristled one from doctor brown's and I only got it bc my daughter was using one of the bottles during her month in NICU, needless to say with baby #3 I brought in a brush from dollar tree with me since I didn't plan on nursing and didn't want to just soak, shake and rinse stuff, I wanna make sure it's clean, but yeah when I got home I'd just use unscented seventh generation (a lot of the other brands, particularly generic seem really watered down or left fat residue) dish soap. Speaking of which, good ole blue Dawn watered down can make a great all purpose cleaner in a pinch (especially if you'd need to rinse it off anyways like my jogging stroller for instance).

Thanks so much for sharing the cleaning tips. 😊

Awesome tips!

[@frankromero2414]

Great video. Very informative. Thank you

[@judyjones5089]

I have only heard of the Mrs. Myers products, and I like the ones I have tried. Can you give me an opinion on 409? I've used it for years and love it, but am interested in your thoughts. I love this channl!

[@AskAngelaBrown]

I have not done a product review on 409. Maybe I will. Thanks for suggesting it. The fact that you love it suggests it works well on the surfaces you use it on. That's a good sign. 👏

Interesting to watch. Now I want to find substitutes in Europe.

[@yolandahenry144]

what would you reco..end cleaning inner fridge with

[@AskAngelaBrown]

If you have a hand held steamer - that. If not a general all-purpose pH neutral cleaner works well. Make sure that you don't get any on any food still in the fridge.

[@weedingist]

I mostly used 1. All purpose cleaner : water and white vinegar 2. Baking soda 3. Dawn detergent 4. Soft scrub 5. Tylex 6. Limeaway 7. Zud 8. Citro solve 9. Twinkle for stainless

Thanks for sharing! Looks like you've got it covered. :-)

@@AskAngelaBrown thank for the reply. Quick question what do you think about white vinegar as a cleaner? Isn't the most safest green cleaner? Thanks

Hi. I have recently found your channel and are your videos numbered so I can watch them all or is there a top 10 list to view ? Thanks

Unfortunately not, but you can filter/sort them by upload date. Thank you for watching!

I have found one product at Dollar General its Amazing

[@AskAngelaBrown]

What one product are you using?

[@abrain]

What about cleaners for porous surfaces like marble and stone?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Are the surfaces sealed? Let's suppose you have a granite counter that is sealed? Most of what you need is a damp microfiber cloth. If you need something stronger, they do sell marble and stone cleaners that are safe to use. Here's my favorite one amzn.to/3ob1ZCS.

[@darleneh7740]

Angela, are the products you mentioned Made in the USA?

[@AskAngelaBrown]

Yes, it's possible. I live in the USA so these are the products that are (were) readily available to me at the time of this recording. What country are you in?
