OMG I finally got my hands on the cleaning agent Bar Keepers Friend and used it on my dishes and it worked. They look like new. THANK YOU!!! I LOVE THIS SHOW
Glad we could help! Thanks for watching :)
Use bar keepers friend on sinks tubs showers almost antthing!
You can also use it to clean grease stains on your pots and pans, and to treat hard water spots on your windows and shower door/enclosure if you have one
I love Barkeeper's Friend...great on stainless steel, cleans my fiberglass tub like magic and it's so inexpensive.
I have some, but didn't know it could be used stainless steel
Barkeeper's Friend - my favourite too, Brian...cleans brass, copper, etc. Incredible stuff.
Baking soda works well to remove stains on tea/coffee cups/mugs. I filled an empty plastic Parmesan cheese container with baking soda to keep under my sink.
Janet Cranston great idea.
You can use just salt to clean coffee or tea stains away from mugs. When I worked in the dish room and washed dishes for 5 restaurants I just took salt on my hand and rubbed the mugs,and they where as New. Cheap and easy
@@lazycat64 I too have heard about both salt and baking soda. These both used to be used on teeth B4 toothpaste was invented. Salt is also more readily available in restaurants.
I use baking soda for a lot of cleaning jobs
I just got some antique candle holders in gold from Good Will and they look old and not pretty @ all,so I use Barkeeper and it is shiny and looking new baby 😊
Cream of tartar (potassium bitartrate), a by-product of winemaking, removes scratches off dishes too.
Yes I'm sure, but that is way more expensive to use
I tried cream of tartar on my denby and it didn't work. Bar keepers friend did.
@@DeShawnHatcher maybe in the USA here in south africa we don't get barkeepers friend and cream of tartar is less than a dime here
It does work 100% agree because my grandma always used news papers to clean the windows in the bathrooms and bedrooms.
Newspaper was a great cleaner when the ink was made of lamp black but these days, the ink has a latex base and will leave smear marks on the glass.
Karen Barraclough Stole the words right out of my mouth.
That's why I use coffee filters....totally lint-free!
Not to mention in this digital age we rarely have newspaper lying around
Instead of Goo Gone, I use ANY oil and I have even used butter. I have been known to keep the empty butter wrappers in the freezer and rub it on the sticky residue left behind on a jar from a removed label. (Cause I'm extra. Lol.)
Putting your votive holders in a bowl of hot water also works. My mother taught me the newspaper hack 50 years ago when the ink was different. It does not work as well these days. I use paper towels made with bamboo.
I love Goo Gone. It works better on removing labels than anything else I've tried.
Brian is my favourite .🤗👍
Baking soda removes tea stains without damaging the cup. I put mine in a glass sugar shaker and keep it at the sink. Just place a few shakes into cup, a wet cloth or a few drops of water with a damp cloth and rub. Rinse and dry. Use the baking soda for any non scratch cleaning that is needed.
Loved these tips!!! So excited to try this on my plates and cups esp!
Put your candle holders with dripped wax in the freezer for a few minutes and the wax freezes and comes off easily.
Bon Ami is better than Bar Keepers Friend. Less abrasive and less toxic.
Very inexpensive and is so gently effective.
I no longer use the newspapers due to the ink causing streaks. A spray bottle with water and a little white vinegar and using some of the lint free cloths makes the mirrors and glass topped tables shine beautifully.
Just use the melamine sponge in stickers and some stains. Boil water to take off wax in jars. Agree with newspaper, its best to have a squeaky clean mirror
Newspaper was a great cleaner when the ink was made of lamp black but these days, the ink has a latex base and will leave smear marks on the glass.
What a great comment about cleaning the lamps ;-) i should look at mine, dont remember if i ever cleaned them... oops :)
Wow amazing
please give up the newspaper. you get e-cloths. slightly damp one cloth and wipe and wipe of with the polishcloth. works way better than newspaper. I do all our mirrors and windows like that now and they are brilliant
Thanks! Really handy tips!
My mother taught me to rub water marks with a walnut and it works. I will try the toothpaste because I can’t keep Walnuts out of cookies. Coconut nut oil and WD 40 work like goo gone if you happen to be unable to find goo gone. I want to know where you found the tiny hairdryer.I love your tips and I love this show.
12 mos lol yesss i hear you. Goo Gone & Newspaper yes Thanks
Yes, I love the tips . Thank you
I like to keep one spray bottle filled with water and dish soap for general cleaning and another filled with bleach and water for things like sterilizing and stains on a coffee mug. If you have coffee and/or tea stains on porcelain just spritz it down with some of that and let sit for a few mins. It will magically be like new. It also works on plastic bowls you kept foods like spaghetti in and are now stained red.
Now if you have a lot of that just like she mentioned they had there (I know she was exaggerating) then you can just fill a bowl or sink with some water and bleach and soak them and knock them all out at the same time. BOOM!
If you use good ole Joy dish washing soap mixed with water, you can clean glass just fine and leave no residue. It's a trick I learned from the car window tinting industry and is actually the best thing you can do for glass.
HAL 9000 vinegar cleans better than bleach and is environmental friendly
Or...put a lil baking soda in the cup. Let it sit at least a few minutes. Excellent bleaching action without the toxic side effects!
What is so toxic about bleach being put in a sink and diluted with water? It's not hurting billions of people in swimming pools so I'm a little baffled as to how a little in a sink full of water to get rid of some stains and then washed down the drain is toxic.
I've kept fish all of my life since a child and know that it can kill them if present in their water, but wait 24 hours and it has completely dissipated and the water can be safely used. How can something that completely dissipates within a 24 hr period be so hostile to the environment?
HAL 9000.............., just as u mowing the lawn with a gas mower's no comparison to the jet fuel that's dumped into the atmosphere....it's hardly a drop in the bucket. That said, we may want to reduce our footprint where reasonably possible. I do occasionally use a bit of bleach, but where I can find a reasonable alternative, I chose that. Yes, I drive a vehicle and am not strictly vegetarian, so.....we all are free to make our own choices, but I wd encourage everyone to 'go green' where they can.
Well I'm pleasantly surprised because that was a much more well balanced and reasonable response than I expected, it being the TH-cam comment section! lol
Tee tree oil also gets rid of sticker mess :)
Can you use newspaper on your windows?
Yes
Does anyone have an idea for removing candel soot from ceiling walls?
try a damp cloth and a small amount of baking soda. Rinse with with a 50/50 water/vinegar solution and it removes any baking soda residue. I always have the vinegar/water mixture on hand for doing windows and mirrors.
Love brian 😍👏🎉
Te only thing missing is white vinegar!!!
Brain, please any idea on how to bring the color of my staircases wood to life again without straining them again?
The only dishes that ever scratched for me were Gluckstein dishes I bought from the Bay.
We always used newspaper for cleaning windows and mirrors
Barkeepers friend works on sinks made from anything NOT porcelain that you can’t use abrasive cleaner on. This is very light.
I have white boots that picked up the colour of a black boot that was accidentally placed next to it in a wardrobe and I can’t get it out. Please help.
#summer fruitson clean them with toothpaste
Chinelo I. Magic eraser but wet sponge first to make it damp. Rub softly at first.
Here's the secret for all us poor people. U can wash and clean EVERYTHING with 2 main products, white vinegar or baking soda. Yes U can use it below as shampoo and conditioner substites, I also use baking soda as a dishwashing powder and vinegar in the rinse aid compartment. And if U can't afford laundry powder U get 1 cup of soap flakes ( I grate and grind my own), I cup of Lectric soda and I cup of baking soda. Mix it together and U have a very good laundry powder. Google it to find similar products if U can't find these ones.
I love using vinegar and baking soda for cleaning
That Barkeeper friend will take the glaze off the dishes eventually. Don't use that on your expensive dishes.
Everything is a chemical 🙄
Cream of tartar is Potassium bitartrate which is a byproduct of winemaking
The best advice is in all the comments. 😄 thanks internet people.
Rubbing alcohol will take sticker residue off as well.
Eucalyptus oil works great too!
Goo gone smells awful
So will any cooking oil and baking soda.
DO NOT use the lemon and salt on fine patterned porcelain.
Good tips but don’t forget to put on gloves because the newspaper will leave ink residue on your hands.
olive oil instead of goo gone. newspaper is crap too.
5:05: He left her hanging :-P
Nobody has newspaper anymore. I use 2 microfiber cloths, one barely wet to clean and the other one to dry.
people have been using newspapers to clean glass and windows for decades
White vinegar will remove tea stains and help whiten clothes.
Baking soda on tea stains!!
WD-40 works like goo-gone
Brian Gluckstein doing cleaning tips? Huh?
Olive oil in candle bottoms....I’d ask a fireman how great of an idea that is. 🙄
Paper cups in the waiting areas for show guests please....no ceramics, they are difficult to keep clean.
the 'joke' of her telling him to go and clean all her 72 mugs was rude. 'if you can just get started now' REALLY...sounds like a millenial trying to order her father. I would have said 'YES SAH MASSA'.
I think she probably was trying to be funny and it just didn’t work. I do stupid things all the time, but then hey I am kind of crazy! But I guess someone in her position with social skills and knowledge should know better than someone like me! However I didn’t know people would also consider it rude, so thank you for your comment.
@@duallinguallady-aishaahmed1812 you are welcome, thanks for hearing.
