Thank you Angela, this review saved me thousands of dollars! I moved into this house the bottom of my shower has extremely fine grid pattern also like window screen. It was discolored and looked filthy. I tried soft scrub with bleach and a stiff brush. No change. I tried bar keepers- no change. CLR- no change. Pure bleach- no change/ bleach and enough water no cover, soak overnight- no change. Zero products used made any change to the bottom of my shower. I figured when we bought the house the prior owner must have scrubbed off the finish and it was the primer showing through (there’s a chip so I know it’s black under the white tub) Fast forward 18 YEARS!!!!! Yes 18 yrs - after watching this I figured I’d try cleaning with it since the review was so great. My regular weekly cleaning I scrub the tub down routine I noticed the tub near the drain starting to whiten……. I continued up the tub More Whitening!!!! Unbelievable after a TON of scrubbing with a stiff brush I finally got the bottom of my tub white!!!! This stuff is AMAZING!!! I had a contractor in to remodel the bathroom because it looked gross and he told me it’s so much work just repaint the tub and gave me a card to a guy who repaints tubs. I was shocked the contractor walked away from a job but now I’m so thankful he did Thank you Angela for this review
I LOVE this review. I’ve spent so much money, that I really can’t afford, replacing, refinishing, professional cleaning, etc. I’m learning that it wasn’t always necessary. Thank you for sharing your story.
I LOVE these product reviews with the safety and chemical info. So many people have no idea how to use products on certain surfaces or how to mix or not. Sooo useful. Thanks!!
You said what I have been thinking since I began following her. She's fabulously talented and the best educator in her profession and since "cleanliness is next to Godliness" I could more than likely eat off the floor in her house😊! THIS is the product I have been waiting almost 5 years to hear her talk about! @askahousecleaner
Nobody ever taught me how to clean a shower before. I have a terrible problem with mold in the grout and even bleach didn't seem to fix it. I'll try this product next, and with what I've learned from you I think I will have good success! Thank you for helping me learn!
My family owned a small motel in a beach town from 1981 to 2000. Greased Lighting was the go to cleaner. Spray it in the shower, or tub, let it break down the grease while you are cleaning the sink, and toilet. Come back to the tub with a small amount of brushing, and suntan oil melts away.
Thank you Angela, this was exactly what I needed to hear for the garage shower. It is the shower the guys use after mechanical work. Did an amazing job. I was a faithful subscriber and stopped for a year or so, I am back!!!! You are the Best!!!!
The shower in my bathroom is designed almost exactly the same as the one in your video. Mold develops almost exactly the same way as shown here also. I already have Greased Lighting on hand, because I use it as a laundry spot treatment for bacon grease or other spatters on chef aprons and other fabrics. Never thought about using it in this way. Will definitely be giving this a try. Thanks so much for this information.
This product us great to use in the laundry to treat clothing that has gone through the dryer with crayons. I believe I also soaked some clothing that was harder to remove in a solution as well. It has been a few years....
Angela! You are just a world of knowledge!! It's been years since I've used Greased Lightening...I'd forgotten how good it was! I have trouble with mold in many of my walk in showers in the summer months here in Ohio! Thx for the advice!! Found You and your videos about a month ago..I am just in my 4th year of business..You have certainly inspired me..and validated many of my concerns re: running my own business! You have been such a Blessing to all if us in the business! Keep up the good work! And Thank You Kindly!!
Here's a tip: To reduce the overall amount of mold and how fast it builds up, after using the shower/tub, leave the shower curtain/door open and leave the light on in the bathroom until the shower dries (hour or so). You'll still eventually get mold, that's unavoidable, but you can significantly reduce how much and how fast it builds up. ;)
Thanks for the tips. You're absolutely correct about leaving the shower door/curtains open to ventilate the space. Also if there is an open window or air vent that will help reduce the moisture in the air as well. Thanks for sharing this. 👏👏👏
I use a floor fan after cleaning the shower. Leave the shower door open and the fan blowing facing into the shower until every nook and cranny is completely dry.
I worked in a pipe fabrication shop as an apprentice pipefitter. We had a band saw that we used for cutting struts and small pipes. It used an emulsion as a lubricant. I had no pipes to cut one morning, so my boss had me clean up the band saw ans the cabinet it sat on. This product worked wonders
Subscribed! I’ve been catching up on your videos after finding you when i moved into an old, stale, smoked-in rental home. Thank you SO much for all your help. Even when I’m not cleaning, just listening and learning from you lifts me up and makes me feel good. Thank you so much! 💛
Greased Lightning has been my go-to cleaner since it was first introduced and I literally buy it by the gallon. If it's grubby, I clean it with Greased Lightning. I have a large plastic container for dog food for my 80-lb Standard Poodle. I like to clean the container before refilling it. Dry dog food leaves a greasy residue and Greased Lightning is great for that. I don't think I've ever tried the Super Strength but definitely will try to find it. Right after my shower (still bare and wet) is usually when I scrub my shower. I've never had an issue with Greased Lightning harming my hands (or feet) but, again, I haven't tried the Super Strength.
That's great to hear! Greased Lightning has been your go-to cleaner for various tasks, including cleaning your dog food container. If you're interested, you could try the Super Strength version for tougher grime. While you haven't had issues with the regular version harming your hands or feet, it's always a good idea to take precautions and use gloves. Thank you for sharing your positive experiences with Greased Lightning!
My husband uses for the cars, never thought to try oil the bathroom! We have a texture on our tub floor which is very difficult to get clean so I can’t wait to try this!
Wish we had special drains in our society to dispose of chemicals since this stuff makes it to our water sources. Great video and channel, especially the paper organization video. Thank you.
Yes, to what you said. Many cleaners are now moving to steamers and other ways to use less chemicals when cleaning. You're correct about the waterways and our earth is suffering from it. Thanks for the reminder.
@@AskAngelaBrown I got a steamer today, after your convincing comment and watching some videos of how effective steamers are. =) I currently use a wet mop with wringer and dirty water catch bucket.
I just found your web page because we no longer have a cleaning lady. My wife is disabled so I am our new cleaning guy! I have always used greased lightning on the fiber glass on my motor home, and it does an awesome job. I haven't been able to get the bottom of our showers clean and I don't know why I didn't think about using GL before. Thanks for your video!
Have used this product on greasy things like grills and tools, but never would have thought it would work for mold & mildew. A revelation for me - thank you!
I used it on a stove vent hood that was thick with old oil build-up, dust and mystery splatters. I let it sit for maybe 2 minutes, and wiped it all away with a damp cloth. I didn't think to try this in showers, so that's good to know it's safe for those materials as well. I will be using it in the shower next time.
My mom kept this in our house, initially as a pre-wash degreaser for my dad’s work pants, then we started using us for ALL kinds of stuff. When I left home I used in my homes and vehicles. It just works! It definitely demands we respect it. Ventilation is very important.
Interesting.... I love Greased Lighting for many cleaning projects, but never thought to try it on tubs or tiles. Thanks. I'll have to try that in coming days.
Could you do a video on cleaning grease off of kitchen cabinets..walls and the vent how to clean it moved into my 1st place and I hate cooking and stuff getting on walls ugh
Congratulations on your big move. I'm so excited for you! Do you know about Krud Kutter? It's sold as a concentrate and is AMAZING for the type of thing you are talking about. amzn.to/3fQqssa you can find it at Home Depot and it does wonders for greasy areas like vents, cabinets and walls.
Hi Angela, I just discovered your channel and love it! I've been binge watching and am learning so much! Thanks for such a quality channel and content. Sincerely, Mrs. Mr. E
Oh wow, that is so nice of you to say. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support and for spending a few minutes of your day here with me. I appreciate you. :-)
Hello I use for mold citric acid 3-4 table spoon in spray bottle fill with the water than spay. It is also remove the water stain you need to do several times Can you please let the people know not use chemicals cheep and no harm to heath
I think you'll find that the "secret ingredient" is most likely ammonia, which can be used on its own as a cleaner and is common in cleaning products. I've personally used it to clean jewellery, including gold and diamonds to bring back ìts brand new look, although not suitable for pearls, opals and such like.
I used it on laundry grease spots. A soccer uniform. Had to let it sit for a bit. Applied twice. Let it sit longer the second time. Then laundered it. Saved the uniform. I put it thru two rinses.
As an RN, I so appreciate you giving the MSDS information!!!! Not only why and how to use it. Too many people have burned their lungs in commercial cleaning enterprises with NO PPE used or even told how to use it! Does this remove soap scum? Not really concerned with mold but that yucky soap scum! Worst job in the house, IMO. YES, Worse than toilets! Thank you!
Toni Stark If you want to get rid of everything in your shower just buy Spray Nine and a brush with a long handle. It is a shockingly effective APC, almost as strong as Super Clean, but also will sanitize/disinfect/deodorize/mold-inhibit/etc Hose down your shower (when it's dry) with Spray Nine, let it dwell 3 minutes, and then brush. Pretty much any gunk or scum will just melt off with no effort. Don't get it in your eyes. Keep your bathroom vent fan on or window open while using it. Respirator not needed.
@@Jasruler Thank YOU! Where can I find this Spray Nine? IT sounds wonderful!!! I wanted to use the vinegar, dawn soap concoction but my husband can't stand the smell of vinegar ! No matter how well ventilated the room or house is, he can smell vinegar a mile away so I am stuck! None of these scrubbing bubble type bathroom cleaning products do ANYTHING so what a waste. Please let me know where I can find Spray Nine and I will sure give it a try. Thank you so much for responding. I think you may just have the answer
Toni Stark Home Depot or Wal-Mart will have Spray Nine. I suggest you get a gallon of it -- it's cheap and you're gonna love it so skip the single serving bottles. Again, you'll want a reasonably bristley brush on a long handle to work with. If you go to home depot get a Zep spray bottle. Yellow head, blue handle. They're excellent for high volume spraying. I also cannot stand vinegar smell, it is unbearable to me. Plus, anyone who honestly thinks a homemade "natural" mixture will cut gunk, grease, scum, mold, crud, etc and sanitize, disinfect... AND deodorize... AND rinse clean... (the list goes on) as well as something that chemical engineers cooked up in a well funded lab is tragically wrong. I trust science over hippies. 😜
Toni Stark oh, and if you have like absolutely relentless shower buildup, get yourself a tube of Bartenders Friend powder and a buncha sponges/scrub pads. First you'll let the spray nine dwell to soften up the gunk, then give it a hot rinse of water, shake the Bartenders Friend all the hell over the place, and work your scrubber pads like you're doing chest compressions. For real, use that palm on knuckles upper body + triceps thrust motion you'll decimate the scum then just a light spritz of Spray Nine to tidy up and boom shower is like new and smells lightly of pine. With Barkeeps Friend and spray nine in the same space: it's got oxalic acid and abrasive particulates. N95 Respirator and ANSI Z87+ eyepro recommended, but I'm kinda a PPE fanatic.
@@Jasruler Thank you again for getting back to me so fast! I bet Lowe's has it also if Home Depot stocks it. Of course, Wallyworld, how did I miss that stuff there? LOL Oh yes, I need a high volume spray bottle not those that barely spray and your hand is killing you from "pulling the trigger" so many times! As an RN, I too, trust science more than hippies :) Off to Home Depot and/or WalMart I go to get this! Again, thank you so very much!
Front Door Housekeeping has been using Grease Lightening for 2 years as bleach products are too strong. Thanks for the video! Great way to bring in the SDS info!
This is the best product and I'm so happy you brought it to the forefront. After being in many rentals that needed a thorough scrubbing this is the only thing that did it without causing a stress
+AMY K Hooray! There are so many great products on the market. It’s awesome when you find one and then stick with it. I’m so glad this is that product for you. Thank you for watching. 😍
I'm a huge fan Angela, but a new one. From watching your previous posts I can tell you favour products that have the least impact on our environment but this product, for all it does, it has a relatively detrimental impact on the quality of water in our lakes and streams.. Even the advice to rinse the spray bottle well be fore adding it to your recyclables doesn't make sense. First, it flushes whatever residue remains into the water supply, second, to what end, as most of our recycling is sent to landfills regardless because the cost of recycling is greater than the cost of landfills. I love your tips, they've changed the way I clean and the time you take to discuss products, their dangers and proper use are invaluable to me. You above anyone, might be able to devise a cleaning method using less harmful ingredients. I have complete faith,.
+Apo Fatrim Hey thanks for your feedback. It’s important to recognize that strong chemicals do have a place in cleaning heavy duty jobs. After a surface or appliance is clean you can maintain it with a less detrimental product. It’s good to know what the heavy duty products are in the event that you ever have to use them. Thanks for watching. 👍
Same ingredient as Awesome cleaner, which has no info on the bottle and no longer lists it on the safety sheet. I just got rid of it, and after seeing this video, learning it requires goggles, mask, and gives, I’m so glad I did.
The LA Totally Awesome product gave me pause as the safety data sheets were always a bit sketchy and terribly vague. Unfortunately, I can't recommend any product that doesn't give me enough safety information me to make an educated decision for me, my workers, and my clients.
I use 50/50 of dawn dish soap and white vinegar in a spray bottle for soap scum spray the whole shower and tub down let it sit for a couple of hours wipe down with wet wash rag make sure you ventilate it's kind of strong.
This is my favorite cleaner. I use it for almost everything. I clean the bathrooms, kitchen, floors (not wood), carpet spots, laundry stains and lots of other things. I’ve used it for years. My little one drew on the walls of our new house with a red Sharpie and it took that off. It says not to use on paint, but I did anyway. It was either going to clean it or we were going to have to paint anyway. We did not have to paint. A few years later, she drew with crayons on the ceiling of my two-week old new van. It took that off too. Good thing for her. She’s an adult now, but she still hears about that van.😄
I moved into corporate housing temporarily and was astonished at the condition in which the bathroom was handed over. The shower walls have at least five vertical grout lines filled with mold. I tried hydrogen peroxide, Barkeeper’s Friend, Clorox Clinging Gel Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Clorox foam bathroom cleaner, Kaboom foam bathroom cleaner with Oxi, StarBrite Mold and Mildew stain remover and nothing worked. I’m disappointed to report that this product didn’t work either. I even left it on overnight. Are there any other recommendations? I’m off to try Mold Armor next.
I just use a mix of distilled vinegar and dawn dish soap and spray away in my shower and let it sit a few minutes and scrub away and it works wonders!!
Jelly Bean does that work on cleaning the tiles that surround the tub? Mine is so dulled and feels like scum from I guess splashing of water and the soap used while showering.
Love Greased Lightening! Use it in my kitchen, on my tile floors, on doors that come in from garage, baseboards.... my husband keeps one in the garage, too!
I've been using Greased Lightning for years, it's really good stuff but the fumes can be a little harsh. Also Lowe's carries a degreaser by Zep that is just as good.
I caught my husband trying to go out the door in a white athletic team poli that was filthy with stains. I love laundry stains and have my favorite methods to clean a variety of stains. THAT shirt has refused to yield! I sprayed it and a few other Ruined shirts with Greased Lightning. We will see if the last resort works. Otherwise, in the BIN! No Joy in those shirts with stains ;)
Thanks for the tip. I checked at Lowe's and there are several different types of Zep Degreasers available. Can you please tell which one you are using. Thanks
It depends on what the vanity is made of. The key is to know what the pH level of your cleaning chemical is, what it is designed for, the type of soil you are trying to remove, and the surface type from which you are trying to remove the soil. If you are not sure - don't use it.
Mold itself is a trigger that let's us know there is too much moisture in the air. This could mean that the bathroom fan is not being used properly, or that there is not enough ventilation in the bathroom. And is the mold isolated to the bathtub/shower only? If yes, consider getting a dark spray bottle (These are my favorite because of the industrial size and spray nozzle, and light blocking capabilities - paid link amzn.to/3Fz1Ulx) and fill it with Hydrogen Peroxide. Leave the spray bottle in your shower and after each shower, spray the moldy areas with 3% hydrogen peroxide (this is the stuff you buy in any drugstore, or you can buy it in the gallon amzn.to/46OlKF8 - paid link) This will help the mold decompose and keep it at bay. NOTE: Remember to open a window, or use the bathroom fan during and after showers to ventilate the bathroom properly.
Thank you Angela for using polite and cute words like “Icky” or “Muketty”…it’s so kind of you! If you used the terminology of what it actually is, I truly am so sensitive, I wouldn’t be able to watch😅 I do have a cleaning question for you too: What should I use to clean oak banisters and handrails? Murphy’s doesn’t do the job. I have 3 sons that, may or may not be (🙄) washing their hands (😬) on a regular, or an as needed basis, like they should (plus their friends). Can I use Krud kutter? Or do you think that will that be too toxic for them? They are 15, 12 and 7💗
I use vinegar & baking soda to clean my shower, Tip. Dry helpful, little scared to try it. But I will try it. I like when you ay leaving the world a cleaner place.
I like your energy and the way you explain things and your videos are very helpful. Have you thought about franchising your cleaning business, your process is very well thought out.
Thank you so much for your kind words, maybe one day! From your mouth to God's ear. Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
This product was used by my landlord when I lived in California back in 2005. He did not warn before he used it in our apartment complex (6unit continuous multi-unit building). He used this product on the screws of the air ducts to the entire building. He sprayed it down EVERYONE'S AC vents on the roof and any air ducts that had screws in all the units. He did this while we were at work. Most of us worked during the day... since we were in the Mojave desert 90% of us kept all our windows closed and AC on cause it was June and it gets to be 100+ degrees daily. Needless to say 2 people went to the hospital for respiratory distress due to the fumes that built up and the rest of us had head aches, dizziness, and nausea. My ex and I at the time didn't know everyone's unit had the same fumes so we asked our neighbors we thought it was a gas leak or gas spill that was how strong it was...and found out we all had the same strange smell with the same symptoms. 1 of the tenants that went to the hospital was 6 months pregnant... when we tried to approach the landlord he skipped town. 4 of the 6 of us pursued a lawyer collectively due to the chemical exposure. But due to our lack of funds and it may be possible that because we (all 4 of us)were all brown or darker we only got granted the ability to leave our lease without penalty.. i hate that he skipped town then 2 weeks later posted a note on our doors about using the grease lightning on the ventilation system... It was awful... he still was able to rent to other people once we moved out. We notified the fire department too just incase any new tenants tried to live there...I'm just thankful I moved out of there before he used any other chemicals on the ventilation system...
Oh no, what a bizarre story. I've never heard anything like it. How does one use Greased Lightning on the ventilation system? I can't even imagine how that would work or why someone would do that. I'm glad to hear you are okay.
Usually with a degreaser and a non-scratch scrub sponge. Letting the gunk sit for a few minutes with cleaning chemical like Greased Lightening or Krud Kutter for a few minutes will help unstick any gunk.
While Greased Lightning is a powerful cleaner, it is important to be cautious when using it on surfaces like travertine shower walls. Travertine is a type of natural stone, and some cleaners can potentially damage or etch its surface if not used correctly. Before using Greased Lightning or any other cleaning product on travertine shower walls, it is advisable to check the product label or check the manufacturer's instructions to make sure that it is safe for use on natural stone surfaces. It's also a good idea to do a patch test in an inconspicuous area of the shower wall to see how the cleaner interacts with the travertine. Instead of Greased Lightning, consider using a mild, pH-neutral stone cleaner or a cleaner specifically formulated for natural stone surfaces. These types of cleaners are generally safer for use on travertine and will help maintain the beauty of the stone without causing harm
omg you always help me find great things. Thank you! I bought a 1980's house ugh. I am completely renovating but parts are disgusting. Plus I have about 37 animals. lol
If you're just cleaning your own bathroom, clorox gel cleaner with bleach (or any kind of bleach gel) works. The gel cling to the mold so it doesn't evaporate or run off do you can literally just apply it to the grout and leave it. No scrubbing required. I did this to my 1960s bathroom (no air vents) after I bought my house and the previous owners let mold grow everywhere around the shower
Hi Kathleen! Do you have a ceramic top electric stove? If so, here is a video I made: th-cam.com/video/Z9EGjIFaMwo/w-d-xo.html According to the Greased Lightning website you can use it on stovetops too: greased-lightning.com/kitchen/
Hello Ms. Brown and thanks for your knowledge. Just wondering what you would use to clean little black dots that look like mold that are forming on the ceiling above the shower/bathtub? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and have a great day!!!
What is the matte made of? Slate? Vinyl? Fiberglass? Corian, or resin? What you use will depend on the type of surface. If you are unsure, a pH neutral product will work best. If you are talking about mold - Hydrogen Peroxide will be a safer choice than bleach.
@@AskAngelaBrown @Angela Brown Thanks for your reply, Angela. It seems to be made of brass material. Is hydrogen peroxide pH neutral and safe for matt black surfaces? Also, do you have a trick to cleaning the stain that's been built up inside showerscreens too? I don't know how to clean those or is it too late? 🤔 Ps. Your channel and tips are super helpful. Thank you. 😊
Any thoughts as to how to get your cleaning lady to use some of these products and watch your videos? I pay her well, but she doesn’t vacuum before she mops, misses dust, forgets to clean some things, but she’s a friend. My old cleaning woman used to do my floors on her hands and knees. I wish this one would just LOOK at the floor!
Kathryn, I don’t know if you can get your cleaning lady/friend to watch my videos but there is a share button on each video. You might find this video helpful: th-cam.com/video/wgbbDcilwd4/w-d-xo.html
Great informative video. Have it on order on Amazon. I have been using "wet and forget" which is great for spraying on my shower tiles after I get out of the shower, leaving on overnight but sometimes it takes 2 applications.
Do you have seperate shoes you wear while in the shower? You moved the mat to avoid bleaching but didn't address in the video to clean your shoes after. I'm always terrified to transfer cleaning solutions onto the carpets after doing a treatment like this.
Great question. NO. We do not remove shoes when in the shower. We wear shoe covers (here is the paid link amzn.to/3RCF2W1) over our shoes in the client's home. EXCEPT for when we are in the shower. We take the shoe covers off and leave them outside the bathroom door. We remove the bath mat and put in its place 2 x terry cloths (amzn.to/3KR0SDd) on the floor to step on when we get out of the shower. This absorbs the water/suds that may have been on our shoes and then before we leave the bathroom we put the shoe covers back on to protect our shoe treads from the customer's carpet.
Mold on an ordinary wall is a HUGE RED FLAG. Please don't try to erase the mold. Get a mitigator to come do a humidity check in your home and find out if it's coming through the walls. If the mold is not in a shower or tub, you've got a problem. If you catch it now, you can save the house, but if you let it go, the homeowners insurance probably won't cover "neglect" which is what they will call this, and it will cost tens of thousands of dollars to remediate. Mold is an organic compound and grows REALLY FAST. It can also make you very ill. I'm not trying to scare you, I'm encouraging you to drop what you are doing, and get somebody out there fast to take a look. 🙏
Angela, have a newer glass top stove with some unsightly scorched gunk marks at burner area. Regular cleaners won’t remove. And don’t want to harm glass. Would you recommend Greased Lightning?
Hi Tom, Greased lightning is a degreaser and won't do much for scorched gunk marks. I recommend in it's place Ceramabryte amzn.to/3eWby3L and a razor blade. Here is a video I made on how to do it th-cam.com/video/Z9EGjIFaMwo/w-d-xo.html.
Greased lightning has unlimited uses. Be sure to wear a mask if you are in an enclosed room and ventilate if possible. This can be purchased in gallon jugs and 5 gallon containers to refill the spray bottles.
@@AskAngelaBrown Angela, I’m wondering if I told you that that bathroom, with the mold problem, doesn’t have a window. We are a bit afraid of bringing in a mold expert right now. Repair people in the past, said it’s probably because there isn’t a window. Hubby is now leaving the exhaust fan on about 20+ minutes. He is aware of the mold problems now. He is a very focused person. When he showers, he is only focused on that.

I moved into this house the bottom of my shower has extremely fine grid pattern also like window screen. It was discolored and looked filthy. I tried soft scrub with bleach and a stiff brush. No change. I tried bar keepers- no change. CLR- no change. Pure bleach- no change/ bleach and enough water no cover, soak overnight- no change. Zero products used made any change to the bottom of my shower. I figured when we bought the house the prior owner must have scrubbed off the finish and it was the primer showing through (there’s a chip so I know it’s black under the white tub)

My regular weekly cleaning I scrub the tub down routine I noticed the tub near the drain starting to whiten……. I continued up the tub More Whitening!!!! Unbelievable after a TON of scrubbing with a stiff brush I finally got the bottom of my tub white!!!! This stuff is AMAZING!!!

My family owned a small motel in a beach town from 1981 to 2000. Greased Lighting was the go to cleaner. Spray it in the shower, or tub, let it break down the grease while you are cleaning the sink, and toilet. Come back to the tub with a small amount of brushing, and suntan oil melts away.
Yes i have use grease lightning i love it i removed all the packed on grease on my freinds kitchen cabinet to be painted they can out beautiful.
Thanks so much for commenting on the video. Glad you like the product as much as I do! 👍

You are so welcome, glad it was helpful! And WELCOME BACK!!! Sending hugs. 🤗
I've been using GL for 19 yrs and it is my " go to" . I absolutely love it for laundry stains as well as cleaning .
It's a great product and does wonders in the shower, laundry, patio furniture, kids toys, swimming pools... Thanks for sharing my enthusiasm. :-)
I have watched a lot of videos about cleaning but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU AND YOUR VIDEOS!
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words!
I have used it and love it. Very powerful for lots of stuff. My favorite cleaning product when I was cleaning houses.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
The shower in my bathroom is designed almost exactly the same as the one in your video. Mold develops almost exactly the same way as shown here also. I already have Greased Lighting on hand, because I use it as a laundry spot treatment for bacon grease or other spatters on chef aprons and other fabrics. Never thought about using it in this way. Will definitely be giving this a try. Thanks so much for this information.
Definitely give it a try. I never thought to try it on laundry. Thanks for the tip!
This product us great to use in the laundry to treat clothing that has gone through the dryer with crayons. I believe I also soaked some clothing that was harder to remove in a solution as well. It has been a few years....
Thanks for sharing!😊
You are my new favorite! My shower is terrible and I didn’t know how to tackle it. Thanks for the “work smarter not harder” information.
Thanks so much for watching the video and keep me posted on how the shower turns out. 👍
Angela! You are just a world of knowledge!!
It's been years since I've used Greased Lightening...I'd forgotten how good it was! I have trouble with mold in many of my walk in showers in the summer months here in Ohio! Thx for the advice!!
Found You and your videos about a month ago..I am just in my 4th year of business..You have certainly inspired me..and validated many of my concerns re: running my own business!
You have been such a Blessing to all if us in the business! Keep up the good work! And Thank You Kindly!!
I wish I had a cleaning person who would watch these videos! I’m a germ-a-phobe, because I was very sick for a long time.
I wish you lived by me! MI?
Thanks so much for watching the video and leaving a comment. 👍
Here's a tip:
To reduce the overall amount of mold and how fast it builds up, after using the shower/tub, leave the shower curtain/door open and leave the light on in the bathroom until the shower dries (hour or so). You'll still eventually get mold, that's unavoidable, but you can significantly reduce how much and how fast it builds up. ;)
Thanks for the tips. You're absolutely correct about leaving the shower door/curtains open to ventilate the space. Also if there is an open window or air vent that will help reduce the moisture in the air as well. Thanks for sharing this. 👏👏👏
@@AskAngelaBrown Our family makes it a habit to wipe down the walls with a designated towel. Keeps the mildew at bay and shines the tile as well!
I use a floor fan after cleaning the shower. Leave the shower door open and the fan blowing facing into the shower until every nook and cranny is completely dry.
I also use the tool for wiping down glass doors and floor of the shower (the same thing that’s used for windows)
This looks wonderful but I'm partially disabled and could never bend over use the brush and s rub like you do because you are young. Thank you
I worked in a pipe fabrication shop as an apprentice pipefitter. We had a band saw that we used for cutting struts and small pipes. It used an emulsion as a lubricant. I had no pipes to cut one morning, so my boss had me clean up the band saw ans the cabinet it sat on. This product worked wonders
Very cool! Thanks for sharing!
Subscribed! I’ve been catching up on your videos after finding you when i moved into an old, stale, smoked-in rental home. Thank you SO much for all your help. Even when I’m not cleaning, just listening and learning from you lifts me up and makes me feel good. Thank you so much! 💛
Welcome aboard! Thank you for subscribing and for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
I've only used the engine degreaser, and it works! I had no idea they made a household cleaner. Thanks for the review and the demo on how you use it
Sure, thanks for watching and taking the time to drop me a line. It's great to have you here.
I have never used Greased Lightning, but will definitely try it since watching this video. Thanks Angela!!
You are so welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 😊
Thank you Angela browning needed to learn how to clean my tiles .
You’re welcome, I'm happy to help! Thanks for watching! 😊
@@AskAngelaBrown You welcome.
I have had this under my cabinet, bought for the car. I'm heading into the shower now to give it a try! Thanks for the review.
Well?
@@yoyoitsKerry Maybe she fumigated herself. ☠️😳
Greased Lightning has been my go-to cleaner since it was first introduced and I literally buy it by the gallon. If it's grubby, I clean it with Greased Lightning. I have a large plastic container for dog food for my 80-lb Standard Poodle. I like to clean the container before refilling it. Dry dog food leaves a greasy residue and Greased Lightning is great for that. I don't think I've ever tried the Super Strength but definitely will try to find it. Right after my shower (still bare and wet) is usually when I scrub my shower. I've never had an issue with Greased Lightning harming my hands (or feet) but, again, I haven't tried the Super Strength.
That's great to hear! Greased Lightning has been your go-to cleaner for various tasks, including cleaning your dog food container. If you're interested, you could try the Super Strength version for tougher grime. While you haven't had issues with the regular version harming your hands or feet, it's always a good idea to take precautions and use gloves. Thank you for sharing your positive experiences with Greased Lightning!
Helpful video. I’ve never heard of this product before, now I can’t wait to try it out.
If you do try it, let me know how you like it. :-)
Angela is the only one who can made me watch an add fully! 😁 I love you Angela! ✨
My husband uses for the cars, never thought to try oil the bathroom! We have a texture on our tub floor which is very difficult to get clean so I can’t wait to try this!
Thanks for watching the video. 🙂
Wish we had special drains in our society to dispose of chemicals since this stuff makes it to our water sources. Great video and channel, especially the paper organization video. Thank you.
Yes, to what you said. Many cleaners are now moving to steamers and other ways to use less chemicals when cleaning. You're correct about the waterways and our earth is suffering from it. Thanks for the reminder.
@@AskAngelaBrown I got a steamer today, after your convincing comment and watching some videos of how effective steamers are. =) I currently use a wet mop with wringer and dirty water catch bucket.
I just found your web page because we no longer have a cleaning lady. My wife is disabled so I am our new cleaning guy! I have always used greased lightning on the fiber glass on my motor home, and it does an awesome job. I haven't been able to get the bottom of our showers clean and I don't know why I didn't think about using GL before. Thanks for your video!
You are awesome! Thank you for sharing this and you will do fine with the cleaning.
I really appreciate how you let us know how to protect ourselves as well as how to clean. I'm happy to subscribe.👍👍😊
Thanks for subscribing!😊
Have used this product on greasy things like grills and tools, but never would have thought it would work for mold & mildew. A revelation for me - thank you!
I used it on a stove vent hood that was thick with old oil build-up, dust and mystery splatters. I let it sit for maybe 2 minutes, and wiped it all away with a damp cloth. I didn't think to try this in showers, so that's good to know it's safe for those materials as well. I will be using it in the shower next time.
Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching the video.🙂
My mom kept this in our house, initially as a pre-wash degreaser for my dad’s work pants, then we started using us for ALL kinds of stuff. When I left home I used in my homes and vehicles. It just works! It definitely demands we respect it. Ventilation is very important.
Glad it works for you!👍
I've used Greased Lightning in the past to get automotive grease off my husband's clothes. It works well! 👍🏻
Oh nice! I'm going to try it out on clothes!! Thanks for sharing this tip!
I like your channel! Thank you for showing us how to correctly use the products!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and spending a few minutes of your day here with me. 👍
Good point about rinsing the bottle before recycling it
Thank you for your feedback and thanks for watching. 🙂
Interesting.... I love Greased Lighting for many cleaning projects, but never thought to try it on tubs or tiles. Thanks. I'll have to try that in coming days.
Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! Let us know how it goes. 🤗
I never knew this cleanser existed so thanks to you I do know and will definitely be using it.👍👍😊
Hope you like it!😊
Could you do a video on cleaning grease off of kitchen cabinets..walls and the vent how to clean it moved into my 1st place and I hate cooking and stuff getting on walls ugh
Congratulations on your big move. I'm so excited for you! Do you know about Krud Kutter? It's sold as a concentrate and is AMAZING for the type of thing you are talking about. amzn.to/3fQqssa you can find it at Home Depot and it does wonders for greasy areas like vents, cabinets and walls.
Hi Angela, I just discovered your channel and love it! I've been binge watching and am learning so much! Thanks for such a quality channel and content. Sincerely, Mrs. Mr. E
Oh wow, that is so nice of you to say. Thank you for your kind words of encouragement and support and for spending a few minutes of your day here with me. I appreciate you. :-)
Hello I use for mold citric acid 3-4 table spoon in spray bottle fill with the water than spay. It is also remove the water stain you need to do several times Can you please let the people know not use chemicals cheep and no harm to heath
+Halide Hall thanks for the tip and for helping me leave the world a cleaner place. 😁
I think you'll find that the "secret ingredient" is most likely ammonia, which can be used on its own as a cleaner and is common in cleaning products. I've personally used it to clean jewellery, including gold and diamonds to bring back ìts brand new look, although not suitable for pearls, opals and such like.
Thanks for the tips! I hadn't thought to use it for jewelry or diamonds. Nice to know. 👍
Getting started with my cleaning business and your videos are very helpful. Thanks for the cleaning wisdom 😊👍🏽
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
I used it on laundry grease spots. A soccer uniform. Had to let it sit for a bit. Applied twice. Let it sit longer the second time. Then laundered it. Saved the uniform. I put it thru two rinses.
That’s great! Thanks for sharing : )
As an RN, I so appreciate you giving the MSDS information!!!! Not only why and how to use it.
Too many people have burned their lungs in commercial cleaning enterprises with NO PPE used or even told how to use it!
Does this remove soap scum? Not really concerned with mold but that yucky soap scum! Worst job in the house, IMO. YES, Worse than toilets! Thank you!
Toni Stark If you want to get rid of everything in your shower just buy Spray Nine and a brush with a long handle. It is a shockingly effective APC, almost as strong as Super Clean, but also will sanitize/disinfect/deodorize/mold-inhibit/etc
Hose down your shower (when it's dry) with Spray Nine, let it dwell 3 minutes, and then brush. Pretty much any gunk or scum will just melt off with no effort.
Don't get it in your eyes. Keep your bathroom vent fan on or window open while using it. Respirator not needed.
@@Jasruler Thank YOU! Where can I find this Spray Nine? IT sounds wonderful!!! I wanted to use the vinegar, dawn soap concoction but my husband can't stand the smell of vinegar ! No matter how well ventilated the room or house is, he can smell vinegar a mile away so I am stuck! None of these scrubbing bubble type bathroom cleaning products do
ANYTHING so what a waste. Please let me know where I can find Spray Nine and I will sure give it a try. Thank you so much for responding. I think you may just have the answer
Toni Stark Home Depot or Wal-Mart will have Spray Nine. I suggest you get a gallon of it -- it's cheap and you're gonna love it so skip the single serving bottles. Again, you'll want a reasonably bristley brush on a long handle to work with. If you go to home depot get a Zep spray bottle. Yellow head, blue handle. They're excellent for high volume spraying.
I also cannot stand vinegar smell, it is unbearable to me. Plus, anyone who honestly thinks a homemade "natural" mixture will cut gunk, grease, scum, mold, crud, etc and sanitize, disinfect... AND deodorize... AND rinse clean... (the list goes on) as well as something that chemical engineers cooked up in a well funded lab is tragically wrong.
I trust science over hippies. 😜
Toni Stark oh, and if you have like absolutely relentless shower buildup, get yourself a tube of Bartenders Friend powder and a buncha sponges/scrub pads. First you'll let the spray nine dwell to soften up the gunk, then give it a hot rinse of water, shake the Bartenders Friend all the hell over the place, and work your scrubber pads like you're doing chest compressions. For real, use that palm on knuckles upper body + triceps thrust motion you'll decimate the scum then just a light spritz of Spray Nine to tidy up and boom shower is like new and smells lightly of pine.
With Barkeeps Friend and spray nine in the same space: it's got oxalic acid and abrasive particulates. N95 Respirator and ANSI Z87+ eyepro recommended, but I'm kinda a PPE fanatic.
@@Jasruler Thank you again for getting back to me so fast! I bet Lowe's has it also if Home Depot stocks it. Of course, Wallyworld, how did I miss that stuff there? LOL Oh yes, I need a high volume spray bottle not those that barely spray and your hand is killing you from "pulling the trigger" so many times! As an RN, I too, trust science more than hippies :) Off to Home Depot and/or WalMart I go to get this! Again, thank you so very much!
Front Door Housekeeping has been using Grease Lightening for 2 years as bleach products are too strong. Thanks for the video! Great way to bring in the SDS info!
Thanks. Hopefully we are all a little safer. :-)
This is the best product and I'm so happy you brought it to the forefront. After being in many rentals that needed a thorough scrubbing this is the only thing that did it without causing a stress
+AMY K Hooray! There are so many great products on the market. It’s awesome when you find one and then stick with it. I’m so glad this is that product for you. Thank you for watching. 😍
I'm a huge fan Angela, but a new one. From watching your previous posts I can tell you favour products that have the least impact on our environment but this product, for all it does, it has a relatively detrimental impact on the quality of water in our lakes and streams.. Even the advice to rinse the spray bottle well be fore adding it to your recyclables doesn't make sense. First, it flushes whatever residue remains into the water supply, second, to what end, as most of our recycling is sent to landfills regardless because the cost of recycling is greater than the cost of landfills.
I love your tips, they've changed the way I clean and the time you take to discuss products, their dangers and proper use are invaluable to me. You above anyone, might be able to devise a cleaning method using less harmful ingredients. I have complete faith,.
+Apo Fatrim Hey thanks for your feedback. It’s important to recognize that strong chemicals do have a place in cleaning heavy duty jobs. After a surface or appliance is clean you can maintain it with a less detrimental product. It’s good to know what the heavy duty products are in the event that you ever have to use them. Thanks for watching. 👍
Same ingredient as Awesome cleaner, which has no info on the bottle and no longer lists it on the safety sheet. I just got rid of it, and after seeing this video, learning it requires goggles, mask, and gives, I’m so glad I did.
The LA Totally Awesome product gave me pause as the safety data sheets were always a bit sketchy and terribly vague. Unfortunately, I can't recommend any product that doesn't give me enough safety information me to make an educated decision for me, my workers, and my clients.
If you cannot find Greased Lightning, you can use Mean Green instead. Both do the job great.
Good to know, thanks for sharing!
I have used this product for years. Since the pandemic I can't even find it. I will keep looking.
Many of our favorite products disappeared during the pandemic never to return. 😞
Thank you for sharing this . No I have never used it before but will be going to the store to buy it before I clean a house today .
Great and let me know what you think of it. 👍
I use 50/50 of dawn dish soap and white vinegar in a spray bottle for soap scum spray the whole shower and tub down let it sit for a couple of hours wipe down with wet wash rag make sure you ventilate it's kind of strong.
I appreciate you sharing your cleaning tips. Thank you!
I love this product ❤!!!! Its my go to even before bleach based
Good to know! Thanks for sharing your input and for watching the video, I appreciate it!
Thank you for showing how to clean it.
You’re welcome, thanks for watching! 😊
This is my favorite cleaner. I use it for almost everything. I clean the bathrooms, kitchen, floors (not wood), carpet spots, laundry stains and lots of other things. I’ve used it for years. My little one drew on the walls of our new house with a red Sharpie and it took that off. It says not to use on paint, but I did anyway. It was either going to clean it or we were going to have to paint anyway. We did not have to paint. A few years later, she drew with crayons on the ceiling of my two-week old new van. It took that off too. Good thing for her. She’s an adult now, but she still hears about that van.😄
Hahaha! Great to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing such an awesome feedback😊
I moved into corporate housing temporarily and was astonished at the condition in which the bathroom was handed over. The shower walls have at least five vertical grout lines filled with mold. I tried hydrogen peroxide, Barkeeper’s Friend, Clorox Clinging Gel Toilet Bowl Cleaner, Clorox foam bathroom cleaner, Kaboom foam bathroom cleaner with Oxi, StarBrite Mold and Mildew stain remover and nothing worked. I’m disappointed to report that this product didn’t work either. I even left it on overnight.
Are there any other recommendations? I’m off to try Mold Armor next.
All videos very Nice. Thank you Angela.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to drop me a line. It's great to have you here. 👍
Definitely adding this to my arsenal at work
Thant's great, thanks for watching!
I just use a mix of distilled vinegar and dawn dish soap and spray away in my shower and let it sit a few minutes and scrub away and it works wonders!!
Jelly Bean does that work on cleaning the tiles that surround the tub? Mine is so dulled and feels like scum from I guess splashing of water and the soap used while showering.
Glenda Menger it should work
Vinegar actually kills mold! Bleach just kills the surface and, in effect, prunes back and strengthens it.
@@glendamenger5730 Baking soda and lemon juice cts thru it! Apply, let sit for a few minutes...boom.
Peroxide will also kill mold.
Does grease Lightening get off soap scum and mineral deposits, too?
Love Greased Lightening! Use it in my kitchen, on my tile floors, on doors that come in from garage, baseboards.... my husband keeps one in the garage, too!
Is it good for cleaning the glass/fiberglass showers doors too?
Sonia Ortiz - I would feel comfortable using it on glass doors, but I’m not sure about fiberglass 🤷♀️ Sorry.
I've been using Greased Lightning for years, it's really good stuff but the fumes can be a little harsh. Also Lowe's carries a degreaser by Zep that is just as good.
I caught my husband trying to go out the door in a white athletic team poli that was filthy with stains. I love laundry stains and have my favorite methods to clean a variety of stains. THAT shirt has refused to yield! I sprayed it and a few other Ruined shirts with Greased Lightning. We will see if the last resort works. Otherwise, in the BIN! No Joy in those shirts with stains ;)
Thanks for the tip. I checked at Lowe's and there are several different types of Zep Degreasers available. Can you please tell which one you are using. Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
@@johnjacobs5538yeah I would like to know too .
This is a really intelligent video. Thank you.
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
I love it❤ it stinks though. But works. Used on all bath and kitchen surface even floos look new after!!! But stopped using its just too toxic.
Thank you for your comment! I'm sorry I didn't work for you
Can I use it around the sink in the bathroom
It depends on what the vanity is made of. The key is to know what the pH level of your cleaning chemical is, what it is designed for, the type of soil you are trying to remove, and the surface type from which you are trying to remove the soil. If you are not sure - don't use it.
What product or products works the best for showers with black mold and mildew? I haven't found anything yet that removes those things.
Mold itself is a trigger that let's us know there is too much moisture in the air. This could mean that the bathroom fan is not being used properly, or that there is not enough ventilation in the bathroom. And is the mold isolated to the bathtub/shower only? If yes, consider getting a dark spray bottle (These are my favorite because of the industrial size and spray nozzle, and light blocking capabilities - paid link amzn.to/3Fz1Ulx) and fill it with Hydrogen Peroxide. Leave the spray bottle in your shower and after each shower, spray the moldy areas with 3% hydrogen peroxide (this is the stuff you buy in any drugstore, or you can buy it in the gallon amzn.to/46OlKF8 - paid link) This will help the mold decompose and keep it at bay. NOTE: Remember to open a window, or use the bathroom fan during and after showers to ventilate the bathroom properly.
Thank you Angela for using polite and cute words like “Icky” or “Muketty”…it’s so kind of you! If you used the terminology of what it actually is, I truly am so sensitive, I wouldn’t be able to watch😅 I do have a cleaning question for you too: What should I use to clean oak banisters and handrails? Murphy’s doesn’t do the job. I have 3 sons that, may or may not be (🙄) washing their hands (😬) on a regular, or an as needed basis, like they should (plus their friends). Can I use Krud kutter? Or do you think that will that be too toxic for them? They are 15, 12 and 7💗
Oh no, I wonder what is being left on the banister? Also, is the wood sealed? 👍
I use vinegar & baking soda to clean my shower, Tip. Dry helpful, little scared to try it. But I will try it. I like when you ay leaving the world a cleaner place.

Thank you so much for your kind words, maybe one day! From your mouth to God's ear. Thanks for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
This product was used by my landlord when I lived in California back in 2005. He did not warn before he used it in our apartment complex (6unit continuous multi-unit building). He used this product on the screws of the air ducts to the entire building. He sprayed it down EVERYONE'S AC vents on the roof and any air ducts that had screws in all the units. He did this while we were at work. Most of us worked during the day... since we were in the Mojave desert 90% of us kept all our windows closed and AC on cause it was June and it gets to be 100+ degrees daily.
Needless to say 2 people went to the hospital for respiratory distress due to the fumes that built up and the rest of us had head aches, dizziness, and nausea. My ex and I at the time didn't know everyone's unit had the same fumes so we asked our neighbors we thought it was a gas leak or gas spill that was how strong it was...and found out we all had the same strange smell with the same symptoms. 1 of the tenants that went to the hospital was 6 months pregnant... when we tried to approach the landlord he skipped town. 4 of the 6 of us pursued a lawyer collectively due to the chemical exposure. But due to our lack of funds and it may be possible that because we (all 4 of us)were all brown or darker we only got granted the ability to leave our lease without penalty.. i hate that he skipped town then 2 weeks later posted a note on our doors about using the grease lightning on the ventilation system... It was awful... he still was able to rent to other people once we moved out. We notified the fire department too just incase any new tenants tried to live there...I'm just thankful I moved out of there before he used any other chemicals on the ventilation system...
Oh no, what a bizarre story. I've never heard anything like it. How does one use Greased Lightning on the ventilation system? I can't even imagine how that would work or why someone would do that. I'm glad to hear you are okay.
When nothing work clean floor at work so try grease lightning the only thing that would on new floor
Thanks for the tip!
Love grease lighting!!!! Been using it on everything for years.
Thank you for your input and thanks for watching. 🙂
Do you use it for the glass or fiberglass shower doors too?
What is the easiest way to clean a black stove?
Usually with a degreaser and a non-scratch scrub sponge. Letting the gunk sit for a few minutes with cleaning chemical like Greased Lightening or Krud Kutter for a few minutes will help unstick any gunk.
Can you use Greased Lighting in travertine shower walls?
While Greased Lightning is a powerful cleaner, it is important to be cautious when using it on surfaces like travertine shower walls. Travertine is a type of natural stone, and some cleaners can potentially damage or etch its surface if not used correctly.
Before using Greased Lightning or any other cleaning product on travertine shower walls, it is advisable to check the product label or check the manufacturer's instructions to make sure that it is safe for use on natural stone surfaces. It's also a good idea to do a patch test in an inconspicuous area of the shower wall to see how the cleaner interacts with the travertine.
Instead of Greased Lightning, consider using a mild, pH-neutral stone cleaner or a cleaner specifically formulated for natural stone surfaces. These types of cleaners are generally safer for use on travertine and will help maintain the beauty of the stone without causing harm
omg you always help me find great things. Thank you! I bought a 1980's house ugh. I am completely renovating but parts are disgusting. Plus I have about 37 animals. lol
You're welcome! And thank you for watching the video. 🙂
If you're just cleaning your own bathroom, clorox gel cleaner with bleach (or any kind of bleach gel) works. The gel cling to the mold so it doesn't evaporate or run off do you can literally just apply it to the grout and leave it. No scrubbing required. I did this to my 1960s bathroom (no air vents) after I bought my house and the previous owners let mold grow everywhere around the shower
Oh wow! Thanks for the sharing the tip!
I love Greased Lightning... And every time I use it, I 🎶 Go Greased Lightning burning up the quarter mile🎵🎵🎵. And I'm done in no time 👍😛
🎶Go, greased lightnin', you're coasting through the heat lap trials🎶 LOL. Glad you love the product!

Hello Ms. Brown and thanks for your knowledge. Just wondering what you would use to clean little black dots that look like mold that are forming on the ceiling above the shower/bathtub? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and have a great day!!!
That's mold. Very common. Treat it naturally or with recommended chemicals, then paint over it.

How to clean a bathroom with black matt features? What products are best and safe to use without damaging these matt surfaces?
What is the matte made of? Slate? Vinyl? Fiberglass? Corian, or resin? What you use will depend on the type of surface. If you are unsure, a pH neutral product will work best. If you are talking about mold - Hydrogen Peroxide will be a safer choice than bleach.
@@AskAngelaBrown @Angela Brown Thanks for your reply, Angela. It seems to be made of brass material. Is hydrogen peroxide pH neutral and safe for matt black surfaces?
Also, do you have a trick to cleaning the stain that's been built up inside showerscreens too? I don't know how to clean those or is it too late? 🤔
Ps. Your channel and tips are super helpful. Thank you. 😊
Any thoughts as to how to get your cleaning lady to use some of these products and watch your videos? I pay her well, but she doesn’t vacuum before she mops, misses dust, forgets to clean some things, but she’s a friend. My old cleaning woman used to do my floors on her hands and knees. I wish this one would just LOOK at the floor!
Kathryn, I don’t know if you can get your cleaning lady/friend to watch my videos but there is a share button on each video.

I have a septic system and am concerned about adding these cleaning chemicals to it. Any info you can give would be most appreciated!
Greased Lighting should be generally safe, but make sure you don't overuse it
Angela Brown you rock!
Thank you so much! You are awesome!!
Great informative video. Have it on order on Amazon. I have been using "wet and forget" which is great for spraying on my shower tiles after I get out of the shower, leaving on overnight but sometimes it takes 2 applications.
Thanks so much for watching the show and leaving a comment. 👍
Thank you need it this video, love all videos
You're welcome, thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!
Do you have seperate shoes you wear while in the shower? You moved the mat to avoid bleaching but didn't address in the video to clean your shoes after. I'm always terrified to transfer cleaning solutions onto the carpets after doing a treatment like this.
Great question. NO. We do not remove shoes when in the shower. We wear shoe covers (here is the paid link amzn.to/3RCF2W1) over our shoes in the client's home. EXCEPT for when we are in the shower. We take the shoe covers off and leave them outside the bathroom door. We remove the bath mat and put in its place 2 x terry cloths (amzn.to/3KR0SDd) on the floor to step on when we get out of the shower. This absorbs the water/suds that may have been on our shoes and then before we leave the bathroom we put the shoe covers back on to protect our shoe treads from the customer's carpet.
Did you mention protecting eyes when you spray in close quarters?
It’s definitely important and I appreciate you mentioning it. 👍
I have a house that has mold above the tile on the wall. Is it safe to use on an ordinary wall?
Mold on an ordinary wall is a HUGE RED FLAG. Please don't try to erase the mold. Get a mitigator to come do a humidity check in your home and find out if it's coming through the walls. If the mold is not in a shower or tub, you've got a problem. If you catch it now, you can save the house, but if you let it go, the homeowners insurance probably won't cover "neglect" which is what they will call this, and it will cost tens of thousands of dollars to remediate. Mold is an organic compound and grows REALLY FAST. It can also make you very ill. I'm not trying to scare you, I'm encouraging you to drop what you are doing, and get somebody out there fast to take a look. 🙏
When I was a professional house cleaner I used this all the time .
Thanks for sharing! Stay safe. Sending hugs. 🤗
Angela, have a newer glass top stove with some unsightly scorched gunk marks at burner area. Regular cleaners won’t remove. And don’t want to harm glass. Would you recommend Greased Lightning?
Hi Tom, Greased lightning is a degreaser and won't do much for scorched gunk marks. I recommend in it's place Ceramabryte amzn.to/3eWby3L and a razor blade. Here is a video I made on how to do it th-cam.com/video/Z9EGjIFaMwo/w-d-xo.html.
Greased lightning has unlimited uses. Be sure to wear a mask if you are in an enclosed room and ventilate if possible. This can be purchased in gallon jugs and 5 gallon containers to refill the spray bottles.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing - and also the note about the mask. :-)
I have used this off and on for years. We are from Georgia and I remember when it came to stores. Thanks for your reviews.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!🙂👍
So this and the kruse kutter do about the same thing. Which one would you go for if you had to pick one?
Hands down the Krud Kutter. It's a Safer Choice product designed for the environment.
@@AskAngelaBrown Thank you for taking the time to reply
Can you review Home Armour Mold and Mildew Remover?
I will add it to my queue, and hope to get to it sooner than later. Thanks for the suggestion!
Thanks Angela. ICan’t find your message about our mold on our soapdish, but I want you to know that we appreciate your reply. We will check into it
You're welcome! And thank you for taking the time to write this comment, I appreciate it! 🤗
@@AskAngelaBrown Angela, I’m wondering if I told you that that bathroom, with the mold problem, doesn’t have a window. We are a bit afraid of bringing in a mold expert right now. Repair people in the past, said it’s probably because there isn’t a window.
Hubby is now leaving the exhaust fan on about 20+ minutes. He is aware of the mold problems now. He is a very focused person. When he showers, he is only focused on that.
