This is before cleaning the grout on the tile floor.

Doing the grout cleaning.

After the grout was cleaned

These are always hard to clean if you do not use the right tool to do the job.

Using a wet scrubber and a screwdriver makes easy work of cleaning the slats on the microwave.

After cleaning the slats in the microwave.

Using a hand held steamer to clean the kitchen cabinets. It makes quick work of getting the grease off of them that comes from cooking.

After they are cleaned.

The parade of doors after they have been spray painted. They are now drying in the warm sunlight. This is an easy way to spray paint the doors on all sides at one time. Do not do this on a windy day.

Using a tape gun to tape up before spray painting the baseboards.

The door frame after it is taped up and painted. Looks really good.

These are just a few of the thing that we did to clean and fix up the rental home. Every room got cleaned. The trim and the doors got painted. Carpet was replaced. The stuff that was left behind was removed. It is a lot of work to get a house ready to rent to the next people. It takes some time and effort to get it done. But it is worth the thime and effort to do it.

How to keep soap scum and hard water deposits off the glass shower door

Cleaning the shower can be a hard job or an easy job. I would rather have it be easy. So here is a tip to keep it that way.

You first have to get it clean the first time, then you can keep it easy to clean from then on. This is a way to get the soap scum and hard water deposits of your glass shower door. This also work on the rest of the shower walls as well.

* Use an s.o.s. pad (dry) rub it all over the glass shower door (and other parts of the shower if they are glass).
* Spray white vinegar on it and rub it off with a clean rag.
* If it still has spots on it do it again. Make sure to get all the spots off.
* With a window open use some rain x on a clean rag follow the instruction on the rain x and apply it to the inside of the glass shower door.
* You can use the rain x on the shower wall as well, it needs to be clean to start out. The rain x makes it so that it takes less time to clean the shower of the hard to get off stuff.

Note: do not put the rain x on the floor of the shower it will make it very slippery. We do not want people to fall in the shower.
