This Pumice Stone is what I use. It won’t scratch the porcelain.

Why does she look like one of those neck duster brush things hairdressers use?

u/Renagleppolf · 9 pointsr/CleaningTips

Hey there. First off, it's really good to hear you are trying to come out of a funk. That's something to be proud of, and as you keep tackling small projects, I hope you keep giving yourself the props you deserve for your efforts. It's really great.

As for the sink! I'd start off gentle and then work your way up here.

First off, baking soda. Nothing shines my stainless steel sink like a good baking soda scrub. Get yourself a few boxes of baking soda (I say a few, because there are endless ways to use it to clean stuff and its cheap as heck, so it doesn't hurt to have a few extra hanging around). Also this is the best sponge known to man, and it wont scratch your sink or your tub or your dishes or anything. Get a bunch, they are endlessly useful! https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Brite-Dobie-Original-Cleaning-720/dp/B000VPCG60

I find that it can be helpful to wet the sink down just a bit. Sprinkle the baking soda HEAVILY all over it. The sides, the basin, just everywhere you can get it. Don't be shy here. I'm talking like up to a half an inch of the stuff. Then wait. Wait a while. Maybe 15 minutes? Maybe an hour? Maybe a few? However long you can wait. (Take the time to maybe go on a walk and listen to a podcast and enjoy some fresh air. Or an episode or 2 of the most mind numbingly delightful tv show you can find. Whatever makes you happy. Treat yourself.) When you come back to it you might see that a little bit of grime has absorbed into the baking soda (no? Does that just happen with me? I'm filthy, so this happens with me.) Then take your Dobie pad and wet it down a bit with some warm water and scrub the dickens out of the sink. I'd start from the top rim of the sink and work your way down here. As you scrub, you can keep getting your sponge a little wet, but you're going to want to be working the baking soda in with the sponge and a lot of elbow grease. The baking soda will start to fall and accumulate in the bottom of the basin. Try to minimize having the water wash the majority of it down the drain just yet. Use the accumulating baking soda to keep scrubbing.

When done, I like to take a jug of white vinegar and pour it on the pile of baking soda that has accumulated. I do this for a number of reasons. Firstly, it explodes, and that is very very cool. You can keep scrubbing with the new vinegar mixture too, whatever floats your boat. I find the vinegar helps to shine things up a bit, as well as work as a deodorizer. Also, if enough baking soda accumulates in the drain and the vinegar continues to react to it down there, it'll help keep things unclogged and smelling nicely.

Hopefully this does the trick to lift the grease spots as well as shine things up.

If the baking soda/vinegar method does not work, I'd go get some Bar Keepers Friend or Bon Ami. Use a similar technique, but a light sprinkle of the product instead of a heavy sprinkle. And don't add the vinegar, just scrub with the Dobie and water.

Also, WD-40 might be something you can just dive right in with. Just dab some on a soft sponge or rag and wipe it up. (I'd wash and rinse the residue of this off with plain dish-soap and water after you are done. I don't think you'd want to eat off of dishes that accidentally pick up this residue).

You could also look into getting a small blade or razor to scrape it up (with the WD-40 as a lubricant for extra help). You would just have to be extra careful here, but there's less of a chance of scraping the surface in an extreme way with this than a metal brush or something of the sort.

As far as the stove is concerned, I'd just jump right in with Bar Keepers Friend/Bon Ami and the Dobie pad. I also find that Windex works really well on my stove top to shine it up.

As a side note on general cleaning, if you are struggling finding where to start with your cleaning products, these are all very good products to have on hand to tackle a lot of different cleaning conundrums (You would be amazed what plain dish soap can accomplish). I also like to get cleaning products that smell good and illicit positive feelings (If Mrs. Meyers is a brand available to you, the Honeysuckle scented products INSANELY good). I also cannot recommend the book Ask A Clean Person enough. It's very helpful for people who need straightforward cleaning advice and rules.

Goodluck with your progress!!!

u/NuclearHubris · 9 pointsr/CPTSD

I don't know if you know this, but Mr Clean magic erasers are literally just melamine foam sponges. There's absolutely nothing special about them besides the Mr. Clean brand name. They are in no way different than any other melamine foam sponge on the market.

Here is a pack of 50 "magic erasers" for $12.


I'll page in OP u/eveningsnow because when I learned magic erasers are just melamine sponges with enormously hijacked prices, it was life changing, and since y'all use them WAY more than I do, I hope this helps a bunch!

u/hashdev · 9 pointsr/glasses

Majority of the time, you get the fingerprints, because you always adjust your glasses as they fall of out position when you look down. it can be many of reasons why they fall, e.g. You got wrong size frames etc.

to fix your 2 issues quickly, buy these two products;

Microfibre Cloths - These are the only recommended clothes, that will clean your lenses perfectly.

Anti-Slip Ear Hook Grips This will help you keep your glasses in position even when you look down, reducing the amount of adjustments hence less fingerprints.

These links are from Amazon

hope it helps, as it did help me.

Can I bug you for your opinion on the chimney cleaners that you hook to a drill? Amazon link if you don't know what I'm talking about. I tried it and got nothing out, but I also only have fires a handful of times a year and there was no obvious buildup in the lower part that I could see. Masonry chimney btw.

u/thesecondkira · 8 pointsr/madmen

I bought it earlier this year. Here's the thing. You know surgical gloves? This is going to sound ridiculous, but they solve everything. The design of the Mad Men collection is BEAUTIFUL, honestly. It's the most beautiful DVD set I own. However, the DVDs just... don't.... come.... out....

But the gloves. Using a glove, they come right out. And you're not ruining the BluRay by touching it (the glove leaves no scratch). I keep the glove folded up in the back of the box set. Everything works out fine. I know, I know, this is the definition of bad design, but it's a concession I make because I love Mad Men and, besides the crap functionality, the design is just so lovely.

Next time you go to your doctor ask for a glove.

u/bigchastity · 6 pointsr/chastity

As someone who is currently struggling with the UTI that just won't quit, I have one piece of advice.

"Do as I say, not as I do."

UTI's are incredibly easy to get, and can be really annoying to get rid of. Boiling is good, specifically for about 10 minutes. (2 minutes is sufficient to kill almost anything, but that is what I did.)

Honestly you're unlikely to get a UTI from the insert itself. You are far more likely to get it via cross contamination. Let's face it, crotches aren't clean. Even if you bathe regularly, there is going to be some additional flora/ fauna living down there. And for the most part that's a good thing. The problem comes when you get it halfway to paradise unintentionally. It doesn't mater how sterile the tube is if your hands aren't sterile. What about the "Clean" surface of the table you're using to setup on? Did you just spend 10 minutes sterilizing your tube, then lay it on a "clean" piece of toilet paper? Did you clean the head of your dick with an alcohol swab?

So if you really want to avoid a UTI, here's the best way to do it.
Time to glove up Your hands aren't clean. It's really hard to get them clean, and once you do, it's really easy to get them dirty again. You want to do this right? Change gloves every time you touch anything new. Got an itch on your nose? New Gloves. Finished wiping down the counters? New gloves. Oh, and only touch the cuff of the glove. These things are only "Clean" until you get them dirty. And using your unclean, ungloved hand to align the "clean" glove on your other hand? Unclean.


MadaCide wipes These aren't for your dick, skin, or anything you're going to put in your body. This is for cleaning the environment around where you'll be playing. (No, Clorox wipes aren't enough. If they were they wouldn't say 99.9% of germs right on the label.)


Time to clean your dirty dirty dick New gloves, and wipe the head of your dick, there's stuff living there as well. BZK Wipes are also good for this

Open that single use packet of sterile lube. No, the raspberry flavored stuff from the local sex shop doesn't count. Cough up the money for the real stuff.

So if you've managed to do this right, and changed your gloves every time you touch anything, congratulations, you've managed a "Clean Field" session. This isn't the same as a "Sterile Field". You can still get an infection, you're just less likely to. You can't make a sterile field in your home, it's not possible.

That's the "Do as I say". The do as I do? Well, I typically wash my hands real well, wipe down everything with a BZK wipe and hope for the best. I've also had two UTIs in the last 6 months and have been sounding (shoving stuff in my pee hole) for almost 20 years.

The bottom line is, if you're not going to be able to go in to your doctor and say, "I have a UTI." Then deal with your Dr saying, "Well, we're going to test you for ever STD in the book, cause you're wrong, men never get UTIs." This is not something you need to explore.

u/Dontbedumby · 5 pointsr/JETWaterPipes

I think they actually said a little while ago that you're not supposed to put anything in the dishwasher anymore. Only ISO Alcohol will do these days to not void the warrantee. That being said, get some thick baby bottle brushes from the store or here and put some 91-99% ISO on it and brush away. I did that for around 5 mins, and it looked and smelled brand new.

I also dump my water every day, rinse off everything, and spray my kitchen sink water sprayer down the tube every night before I go to bed. Everything dries disassembled, and is perfect for use the next day. I only have to clean with iso every 3 weeks or so.

I have reusable straws and they're great. I recommend getting those tiny brushes that are used to clean baby bottles though.

u/flsucks · 4 pointsr/HomeImprovement

By naturally, do you mean without using chemicals?

If so, use a pumice stone. There are a few on the market, I get mine from Amazon or Home Depot. You just get it wet and scrub the stains and scale off. If you don’t like the sound of nails on a chalkboard, you won’t like this method. Otherwise, it’s very effective and uses no chemicals.

u/platypuspup · 3 pointsr/Beekeeping

I just started this year, but have yet to be stung through the nitrile after a dozen or so inspections. I think that they make it so you can feel a bee humming before you press on it, which makes it easier to avoid squishing.

Also, for those concerned about waste, I have used the same pair all year, and they have held up.

My mentor recommended the ones with grip for car mechanics.

DON'T GET BLACK ONES though. One of they guys in our class did that and he got stung like 5 times in a row. Bees don't like black things that look like bear hands :p

u/lipu-adam · 3 pointsr/AutoDetailing

u/Brooklyn10101 · 3 pointsr/sex

Do you want to rock his world? Buy yourself some Nitrile (not latex) exam gloves like these and a good silicone-based lube meant for anal play like this one. Once you have these items, read up on prostate massage at /r/prostateplay. My wife does this for me and it is amazingly intimate and pleasurable. It's unfortunate that there is a social stigma associated with anal play; I think every guy should try it at least once as it could be a life changer, as it was for me.

If you don't want to tear your hand up it helps to use a regular sponge scrubby or brush scrubby on top of it.

Always warm pan hot water as well.

If you are sensitive to pressure treated wood then something like this that prevents the transfer of chemicals but would tear quickly, with less strength to pull your hand into the blade and is more close fitting would better:

u/fictionthatspulp · 2 pointsr/ft86

Welcome to the club!

For a full blown "detail" I'll do as follows

  1. Foam cannon
  2. Two bucket rub down
  3. Clay bar
  4. Chemical Guys V38 or V4 All in one
  5. Drive

    For maintenance just the first two steps (most of the time just the foam cannon). Not everyone has access to a pressure washer, they do make foam cannons that attach to your standard garden hose. They don't work as good, but will loosen and remove dirt just the same.

    Something that didn't see mentioned was a decent drying towel. Using a bath towel can cause scratching and swirls I'd highly recommend the chemical guy's Wooly Mammoth
u/cardinal29 · 2 pointsr/JUSTNOMIL

u/arbitrarysquid · 2 pointsr/trees

get some bristle pipe cleaners. soak your pipe completely submerged in rubbing alcohol or Heet anti-ice additve for gas tanks for a stronger alcohol. add a good amount of kosher salt, make it a slurry. shake it around in a ziplock bag and the resin will just fall out. use the bristle pipe cleaners, and if you go to home depot currently, you can buy a set of 4 angled picks that are awesome for cleaning. they're on sale at Home Depot right now for under $5.

add a set of bottle brushes and a few cans of keyboard cleaner, and you're set.

u/sockmonkey16 · 2 pointsr/Cooking

As an initial matter, soaking is generally useless (and can be unsanitary if you don't rinse thoroughly). Because you have no dishwasher, you probably don't have a disposal. If you do, it's a lot easier. Here's my approach.

(1) Get rid of all the food solids. Down the disposal if you have it. If you don't, i take a plastic grocery bag and scrape all the solid foods into it with a paper towel or napkin from dinner.

(2) Sometimes I pre-rinse the dishes at this point to remove further solids. Sometimes I just go to step 3.

(3) Using a good sponge that has a scrubber side (or a Dobie--a good brand), I load the sponge with dishwashing liquid (usually a good brand like Dawn--it really does work better on grease).

(4) Scrub and rinse under running water in one step. Place in a rack to dry. I have a system where I wash things in order--utensils first, small items, plates, and then cookware last. It just makes sense for some reason.

Dishes that are thoroughly clean will air dry fast. I find towel drying to be a waste of time and towels, unless I need the item immediately.

Sponges need to be completely wrung out of water when done so they don't grow mildew. You will be able to smell a bad sponge right away. Sniff it--it should have no smell. If it does, all you need to do is put in the microwave on a paper towel for two minutes at high--it will sterilize the sponge completely. Ta da!

u/El_Diablito · 2 pointsr/Entrepreneur

I've recently used some contractors to do work around my house which I found off Angie's List and HomeAdvisor. I used coupon deals for all of the work I bought and I noticed that the contractors who did the work seemed to have smaller operations that favored small, maintenance work as opposed to be more larger whole operations.

For example, for the guys who cleaned my gutter it was basically the business owner who drove who his two guys to my house. They put up a long ladder and one guy went up with a hose and leaf blower and the other guy cleaned up anything the other guy sent down. It took about 30 minutes and they made $100 for that and did that all day long.

Another example is the chimney cleaner who simply used this device: Rotary Chimney Cleaning System and then used a soft wire brush to clean out my dryer duct. He spent 20 minutes and made $89 and likewise did this all day long.

u/Grover786 · 2 pointsr/techsupportgore

I use this. And since i don't want to just get it every where i keep it in this so i have some control. This is especially crucial when doing, say a galaxy s6 or s7, where the screen is directly behind the battery. This is also useful for when those stupid commando strips break in iPhones (the white glue under the battery). And then to actually get whatever i am trying to get out i use playing cards to do the glue cutting and removing of the battery (or what ever) Have to be careful with acetone tho because it will eat through a lot of softer plastics. If your worried about that, you can use 90% alcohol. I don't mix them, i just use what ever is needed for the job at hand.

Acetone is also really good for cleaning glue off iPad and many other things when replacing broken screens/digitizers. But for that i use cheep micro fiber cloths you can get at walmart or online. My tech bought a bag of like 30 of them at costco for like 15$. Something like this

Hope this helps.

u/grendel_x86 · 2 pointsr/talesfromtechsupport

I dont do too many field-fixes anymore... Im now in startup land where everything is shiny & new, and we get what we need.

 

My things that were stupid-useful that mostly haven't been listed so far:

Klein Tools electrician scissors - Most useful cutters ever. Take-a-finger-off sharp, cuts though thick cables, the top is great for straining phone / ethernet cable. A cable puller had a set, and he sold me on them in 30 seconds when he raked the wobbly cat5 strands across them, and they were perfectly straight. Would have been worth the $$ at twice the cost.

I replaced my mismatched tools in my bag w/ a iFixit toolkit when I needed to start buying new bits for iPads and the tri-lobes for macs. Ended up being about the same cost as those bits alone, and it had them, and a bunch of other stuff that was better then my cobbled together tools. The screwdriver is far-better made then the little plastic ones I had before. They have a new-toolkit, but I haven't used it.

A roll of Velcro ties Far more useful then zips. Use the scissors above to trim as needed.

Mars-eraser. Great for cleaning toner from printers, and cleaning up corroded connectors (first pass).

Melamine Sponge (aka Magic Eraser) - They clean up things nothing else does like the weird tint that macs wrist guards get from skin oil. Also great for getting toner off of the outside of printers. Also good for cleaning up cherry-coke from a $25k piece of sound gear.

Deoxit - You can use the cheap stuff that was like $5 a can at any automotive parts store, and that will work for most things. This is for more sensitive stuff. I used this repairing contacts in audio-control-surfaces, rebuilding DSLRs, etc. Its for when more then a mars-eraser is needed.

u/Smaskifa · 2 pointsr/homestead

I use a SootEater and a power drill to clean my chimney liners every year. That will send the accumulated creosote in the liner down into your stove. From that point, simply shovel the creosote/ash out and dispose. You will likely need to remove the top baffle inside the stove to get access to the stuff dropped down the liner.

Since they moved to the bezel sticker instead of the one-piece bezel on like the T430/T440P, I've seen this. I use a microfiber cloth almost exactly the width and depth of the keyboard.

u/Titanchain · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

Yeah, hand sanitizer is probably a big part of your problem. I don't have long wait times, so I just wet my hands between steps so my bottles don't get sticky. What I generally do, is fill my sink with water to wash my face and then keep using it as a basin to dip my hands in between steps. I mostly use a wet washcloth to wipe away cleanser, so it doesn't usually have much more than water. You might try your actives without long wait times for a bit and see if they still work, at least while you're in a dorm. I never needed to wait longer than a minute or two with mine (I don't use them anymore because my face was always like "hell no, this shit is too harsh" even though I was using the freaking super gentle Cosrx stuff...) and they always worked just fine.

Another option, while you are in a dorm.. it could get a bit pricy over time, but maybe getting some disposable gloves, like the powederless ones they wear in doctor's offices. I buy these ones and they aren't bad. 100 for $10, so 50 pairs. I use mine for handling meat in the kitchen because I have issues with touching raw meat or for oiling up potatoes or something because olive oil takes forever to wash off, but they don't end up being all that expensive, even if you use a pair every day. But you could use a pair for your actives and then a pair for the routine if you can't wash your hands prior.

I think a third option, would be to buy a small bucket, or one of those collapsible bowls. Something like this maybe?, that you could fill with water to use as a basin in your room to at least get a rinse on your hands and then you could just walk it back when you are done to dump it out.

The last idea I could think of, isn't my favorite, but maybe cleansing wipes, or baby wipes, so you could get a kinda-wash on your hands from your room. Just keep tabs on your skin, because even the gentlest of them could cause skin problems when residues are mixed with your products.

Get it hot then stick it in some brass or copper scrubby things. This would be the main way. You can also use copper scrubbing pads which can usually be picked up in a cleaning aisle in your local store. It's nice to have a container for it as holding one of the pads by hand is a bit sketchy but doable.

You could also consider getting a solder wick or vacuum pump to remove the build up from the last job.

Keep a pair with your repair kit. And when you pull them off, they come off inside out, so the gunk is on the inside, and you can toss them back in your kit.

This particular brand sells quality stuff. If you're so inclined, you can even reuse them. Like I can get a few days of really hard use out of one pair, if I'm doing a lot of bike work. Worth the price. The surface also helps a lot if you have soft hands without a lot of grip.

They're also about $0.80 each when bought from Amazon it looks like: http://www.amazon.com/Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloths-ECO-FUSED-Spectacles/dp/B00A7P2JGQ/

Thats the choy - alternatives can be found but not as good. Some have soap and chems on them, some have wires that are too thick, your boy choy gets you everytime. Just burn the copper coating off completely before loading

Thanks. Should note I do my own Chimney sweeping using one of those "sooteaters" weed whacker type drill attachments you feed from the bottom up.. Works great.

Thus my question about what I should look for in my inspection.

Sorry, when I meant I used a scouring pad, I didn't mean like steel wool, or an aggressive scotch brite pad, I just used a mild [Dobie pad] (https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Brite-Dobie-Original-Cleaning-720/dp/B000VPCG60), it's super mild and I use it aggressively on my nonstick surfaces without issue. If this is something to avoid, however, i'll stop immediately.

Thanks for all the good info, I just gotta get into the good habits, but I can tell this is like when I went from using a drip machine to a chemex for my coffee, just gotta get into the swing of things.

Lesson learned.

In the future, use a blower and brush first, and then a clean cloth - or ideally Zeiss Lens Cleaning wipes.

Microfiber lens cleaning cloths are so stinking cheap that you can use new ones often. Here's a pack of 10 for $7.50.

Yep, magic erasers or the off brand will take care of that way faster.

u/rcx918 · 1 pointr/AutoDetailing

Oh boy this is confusing. So I have a couple of needs:

  1. Waterless wash/quick detailer
  2. Applying/buffing sealants like Carpro Reload
  3. Drying

    Is it possible for someone to recommend a few options for each category? Is something like this good for #1 and #2? What about this for drying? How does that waffle one compare to this Woolly Mammoth one?

I use something like this to pick up dust. So far I haven't seen any issues come up from using it.

You could also use a small piece of tape to pick up dust. I only used the product that I linked because I already own it.

Edit: scratch the idea to use the product I linked. Apparently, the first ingredient is alcohol lol.

Can confirm, this one is good.

If it looks shiny and slick-like, try taking a magic eraser to it.

Just wet the eraser slightly and try rubbing off the oils. The pad should get the grip back.

u/TherionSaysWhat · 1 pointr/SCREENPRINTING

Yes you can print discharge in your basement and an exhaust fan is a good idea but I've never found it overwhelming or anything. Better than some screen cleaning chemistry, worse than my poster acrylics. You may consider gloves. I wear them for all printing out of habit but for discharge it's a good idea. Be sure to clean up with a good degreaser (I use Simple Green) and dispose of any unused ink properly.

The cheapest (and most unreliable) curing for some water based inks is to "hair dryer cure" to the touch and then run the shirts in a commercial clothes dryer on high for 30 min. You can usually find these at larger laundrymats. This works only for some inks and you'll need to test it.

Far more reliable and not as expensive as a conveyor is a flash unit. I use this one and love it. I just lay out the shirt on a table and hover the flash unit over the shirt for 30-60 sec until the ink temperature hits it's cure point.

If you do not heat the ink to it's cure point, you will end up with a less than durable print. It will wash out over time.

Screens common for water based inks are 20x24", 156-305 mesh. My most common for shirts is 200.

Your squeegees are fine as long as they aren't too wide to fit the shirt screens. Side note: learn both pull and push strokes. Nearly all of my shirt prints are push stroked now. Also be sure to flood after every print stroke.

Not mentioned elsewhere: Emulsion needs to be resistant to discharge. Currently I'm using TX-Discharge and it's pretty good, flexible exposures and pretty high solid content. Over time I've learned that it's best to post-expose screens regardless of how long the run is. A min in full sunlight does the trick.

You can build a 1-color shirt press pretty cheaply with some cheap lumber and hinge clamps. Google it. Please don't stress yourself out trying to use a vacuum table for shirts. It's a pain. Built my last hinge press for like $30 and an hour of work. Totally worth it.

Other than that, start saving up for a multi-head press. Once you get to wear your work... well, it can be addictive. Hope the above helps and good luck!

Oh, as a chimney sweep, given that I'm fairly handy (do all but the most major car repairs myself, basic home plumbing, interior repair, appliance maintenance, builds PCs, ect.) would you recommend getting something like this and cleaning my chimneys myself? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0010H5JXA

Or not a good idea for some reasons I'm not aware of?

Here's a cheaper pair: https://www.amazon.com/Kitchen-Rubber-Scouring-Fingers-Protect/dp/B078K9X5C4/ref=pd_aw_sim_sbs_201_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=5Z12KP1A1F72D1JHXT3X
They are only for right handers only and negative reviews say they run small. Much more affordable though if your right handed and have small hands!
