Question

How can I prevent mold from forming in the corners of the shower?

Community Answer

You can put the top of a spray bottle onto a bottle of peroxide and spray any spots that need it. Usually one application will take care of the mold, but stubborn mold might require several applications. It is non-toxic and won't hurt kids, pets, or plumbing.

Question

The window cleaner I use is leaving spots. Any ideas?

Community Answer

Some window cleaners are not good quality and leave residue or spots.Try a different window cleaner such as Windex, or use a light solution of distilled vinegar in water to finish off the cleaning. Dry the surface off completely with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth at the end.

Question

I have a Honda with hard water stains and I've tried everything, vinegar, lemon, etc. What do I do?

Community Answer

Try using a solution of Windex mixed with baking soda and vinegar. It sounds strange, but it worked for me.

Question

How can I clean the corner of the wall?

Community Answer

Get one of those drywall corner tools. Use some contact cement to apply a Scotch-Brite pad to cover the 90° tool. Get the larger Scotch-Brite pad so you can cut it to fit.

Question

The water stains on my glass shower doors are really bad. What is the best recommendation to clean them?

Community Answer

Use straight vinegar in a spray bottle and let it set for approximately seven or so minutes, then wipe it off with window cleaner and a towel. If that doesn't work, invest in high-quality cleaning products.

Question

Is it possible for raindrops to leave mineral deposits on surfaces? If the outside of external high-rise building windows are covered with mineral-deposit spots, could rain have caused it?

Community Answer

Yes, raindrops can certainly leave behind mineral deposits and can disturb dirty surfaces to create raindrop patterns that leave a mess on windows.

Question

I have a solar panel that I rinse daily with plain water because of hot weather, but a thick deposit of precipitation formed on the panel and reduced its efficiency. How do I remove it without damaging the panel?

Community Answer

The best thing to do would be to ask the manufacturer. Not all solar panels are made from the same material and you need to be sure you're using the right cleaning substances for the material type. Check their website first, then email them if you cannot find the answer.
