Best Dishwasher Detergent?
Comments (135)for diyher. to clean travel mugs, I buy small powder dishwasher detergents and use the hottest water possible, dump a little dry dishwasher powder into the bottom of the mug. fill with hottest water and let sit for a while. Voile' coffee stain will be gone. I had a stainless steel travel mug and tried putting it in the dishwasher, and it filled with water between the outside and inside wall of the cup and leaked all over my counter when I took it out of the dishwasher. I didn't do that anymore., I also have thermos jugs that get stained on the bottom. Same soaking principle works on them.......See MoreHs anyone had experience with oiled finish hardwood floors?
Comments (62)Above is 1920s pine floor that was originally finished with the basic pumpkin colored finish (below) when we bought the place. The pic above is after sanding, using WOCA wood lye in white (not softwood lye, just plain lye, one application) and then one coat of the master oil white. They have put one more coat on of the master oil since this pic, but I have not yet seen it. The feel is really really smooth, and feels like wood. The Lye really lightened up the tone and also brought out the contrast in the grain, which I like. From what I understand, the lye can continue to process and lighten over the next month or so, and with light/sun-but I am no expert. I really like the look of the finish, looking like wood and not a lot else. It ended up being just what I wanted. The finishers used the WOCA cleaner beforehand as suggested to prep the wood pre-lye. Here is before, and just sanded, no other process:...See MoreStain on White Lacquer Cabinet Door
Comments (52)Honestly, since I posted this I continue to have different types of staining and have used everything! Sure, the stains have faded with the use of harsh products however it has ruined my finish. Its frustrating. The only solution I have had was to ask the company for replacement doors for all of my cabinets as almost every one has a green smudge stain or a sauce type stain..and any type of ink left on someones hand ruined a drawer. Depressing. I wish I had an answer. I know a bleach type of product or anything with alcohol will probably work but for me they have finally ruined the finish of my cabinets. :(...See MoreBasalt white grout stains
Comments (47)Hi Beth. You are correct, we should not have used sanded grout, but only figured that out after starting :( Also, the white grout was already halfway gone from the grout lines after we spent time trying to remove the white specs. We also let the white grout dry a full 24 hours before adding the gray. We will be adding another small layer of gray and then sealing everything. Do you think that will be OK? I have a set of porcelain tiles on the way just in case, but they are backordered, so we are just trying to make these work! I also wanted to do the gray at the start, but my husband wanted more contrast so convinced me to go with white. Bad decision, but we've learned our lesson now!...See Moredebrak_2008
