You did a better job of inspiring me to learn more about chemistry than all the teachers I've ever had. Thank you so much.

[@CleaningHowTo]

Thank you so much :)

[@marambula]

Dang I thought I had commented on this video already but better late than never. This is one of the best videos on KZbin. Epic explanation. We all need more ultra high quality content in our lives, thanks for sharing.

[@CleaningHowTo]

Well this comment made my day, thank you :)

[@tas9551]

I'm one of those mixing bicarb with vinegar and praying it will work! Well, it's better to learn at 56 than never at all. Thanks sunshine!😊

[@tas9551]

@@CleaningHowTo Thank YOU!

[@jhe735]

Thank you! I just stumbled upon your channel last night. As a chemist I really appreciate your explanation of pH. So many KZbinrs suggest vinegar and baking soda (often together! 😮) without truly understanding what they actually do. Your cleaning suggestions make perfect sense from a chemical standpoint. Bravo!

[@CleaningHowTo]

Thank you so much, that really means a lot :)

[@Khroma-uz3zk]

Wow... the ph not being linear exploded my mind. Very usefull to know since i like to do basic diy cosmetics and cleaning products! Thanks a lot!!

[@CleaningHowTo]

Yeah the difference in two ph points is massive!

[@josheli3749]

Such an underrated cleaning channel and videos

[@CleaningHowTo]

Thank you so much; watch this space I’ve some epic videos planned 😆

[@LaHermitess]

Having just, by pure chance, come across your toilet cleaning video, I took to heart your plea to check out this pH video and was most definitely not disappointed. If only material like this had been available & offered in my ancient High School days, I might have benefitted from a much better understanding, and likely retaining, of this useful information. Instead, material from the dusty tomes and aged wannabe scientists who tried to teach us this stuff, left it going in one ear and out the other. Anyway, as a proud new subscriber, I thank you for providing such practical, well presented, and enjoyable content. I must go now to make a cup of tea and seize the opportunity to binge on some more of your work.

[@CleaningHowTo]

You're so kind, thank you for your comment :)

[@mcsmama]

I'm here from your toilet cleaning video; you are correct, this video IS really good! Thanks for your hard work & for sharing it with us. What I have found most useful is the knowledge that specific fabrics can be damaged just by contact with a a product of incompatible pH ... of course that makes perfect sense NOW, but I'd never really thought about it before...duh! Even if this video DID take you 8 years to make, it became available not long before I needed to see it, & for that I am grateful! Nice job! Also, we need more Irish people on KZbin! ☘Yay!🥳 God bless!😇 ["STOP Wasting Your Time Cleaning with the WRONG pH!" via Cleaning How To] [12.1.2024]

[@CleaningHowTo]

I teach how the PH scale affects fabric on my training courses; its super important. I've a growing irish audience and Iove to see it; sharing on facebook etc really helps :)

[@mcsmama]

@@CleaningHowTo Thanks again! As a 2nd generation American of 100% Irish ancestry (unusual to be undiluted in the States at this point!), I have a great love for Ireland & the Irish.☘ Few things delight me as quickly as hearing a lovely Irish brogue... such a spirit-lifting surprise when I encounter one! The magical lilt of an Irish voice is a gift to the world & should be encountered more often! Strange perhaps, but listening to your voice talk about cleaning makes me happy! Haha! [12.4.2024]

[@CleaningHowTo]

@@mcsmama Thats so kind of you; I'm glad to be brightening your day :)

[@TayWoode]

Wow I thought I knew the ph table but didn’t know it was logarithmic. I’ve subscribed coz I want to clean properly instead of just bleaching everything

[@marcelamedeiros260]

I’m binge watching your videos! I already use less chemicals now a days but I still find myself going back to Clorox clean up as a multi purpose cleaner for bathrooms and kitchen (except some surfaces) I find it works like soap, removing oils and leaves everything white where it needs to be and it works as a disinfectant so I use it a lot because I don’t have to keep switching to different products for different areas. Can you make a video for something that we could substitute for it just as great if not better?? Although it’s multi functional my lungs don’t appreciate it!! 😅😅😅

[@CleaningHowTo]

Watch my videos on my home made cleaners; mix up a mild washing soda mix; 25g per 500ml should do it. Throw in a nice essential oil and it'll be nice to use :)

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Superb video again, Carl packed with really useful information. Thank you!

[@CleaningHowTo]

Thank you :)

[@nordicwind6579]

Just seeing this now, thank you! But I'm still not sure how to approach cleaning old hard water stains on porcelain, like around the tub in a shower enclosure where the water sits at the top edge surrounding the tub. It's almost like a hard crystalline structure.

[@CleaningHowTo]

Acid. Try neat vinegar with a good dwell (one hour minimum). Use a cloth to keep it wet

[@nordicwind6579]

Thank you!

[@CleaningHowTo]

No problem :)

[@yetibluedog]

Fascinating. Thank you!

@@CleaningHowTo Me too. It was also super interesting to see how certain PH solutions can cancel each other out when mixed together. Super informative, your time invested in this one is very much appreciated. Thankyou. Well wishes for you and your business.

I was looking for a good explanation of cleaning chemistry, (without knowing what I was looking for) and I now feel I have a better footing, I wanted to ask how can I test my cleaners to test their acidity?

[@3orM00Rrecharacters]

This is really useful - where would the orange-oil cleaners like goo-gone fit?

[@CleaningHowTo]

I’m a bit late to the party with this one; I’d guess they’re neutral as they’re solvent based :)

[@timepass-wu7rv]

Sir what is the safest ph level of home care products

[@CleaningHowTo]

Neutral.

[@LilBrimstone64]

Could you make a specific video for ph level per every fiber known?

[@CleaningHowTo]

I’m in the process of doing this for one of my online training courses (this video is a freebie and it’s part of the course). It’ll be launching in January :)

[@LilBrimstone64]

@@CleaningHowTo oh that’s amazing, how much are your courses ?

[@CleaningHowTo]

@@LilBrimstone64 the introduction to carpet cleaning course will be about €50-€90 - we haven’t decided yet, but there will be other much cheaper courses also. Keep an eye on www.Cleaninghow.to

Are you just having a delay with the release of online training courses or what is the current status? Thank you! :)

[@CleaningHowTo]

@@RikiMartinee first one should be live this month :)

[@RikiMartinee]

So soap is better for unclogging kitchen drain than washing soda (higher pH)

[@CleaningHowTo]

washing soda and soap have relatively similar PH :)

[@RikiMartinee]

Wow, amazing results for my drain! I saw a weed killer with caustic soda as an active ingredient, have you experimented with washing soda for this issue? :D It would probably also kill grass but there is always a chance to use a paint brush to avoid this :)

[@lorddabber3016]

at 0:34, you say scale is numbered 1 through 14 --- but, as you know, it is 0 to 14!

[@CleaningHowTo]

Whoops 😅

[@abuladula]

Why don't we're learn this stuff at school during science class.

[@CleaningHowTo]

Because that would be useful 😂 Cleaning science might be taught in home Ec but I’m not sure.
