This is the easiest way to clean grout. We mixed baking soda and peroxide into a thick paste and worked it in with a crevice brush (you can use an old toothbrush, too). We did not even have to scrub hard. The dirt came off right away. No fumes. Nothing you can't have in the house with kids and pets around.

Your shower glass isn't dirty; it's covered in hard water that has dried and hardened. No amount of scrubbing will remove it. At this point, most people assume that they have ruined the glass and start pricing a replacement. It isn't ruined. We can work the buildup off with polish and the kind of polishers used on car paint, and the glass goes back to clear. A two-panel shower is $240, a fraction of the cost to replace it. People say the same thing when they see it: so clear,

If you are selling your house and you have etched glass in your shower, your buyer will use it to ask for a lower price. Don't give them that opportunity. You can avoid giving a discount or a full glass replacement for something that is actually fixable. We can help before it gets to that. Shower glass cleaning — before and after

This year, we want you to walk into holiday cooking season with an immaculately clean oven. The season sneaks up fast. Halloween cookies, then Thanksgiving, then the Christmas roast, then New Year. We both love to cook. We both host family and friends all season long. So we know exactly how it feels to start the season with a truly clean oven. There's something about opening the door and seeing it shine before the first pan goes in. Makes the whole season feel like a fresh st

Freeze your citrus peels to clean your garbage disposal with them later. The ice scrapes built-up grime off the blades as it grinds, and the citrus oil released in the process cuts through the smell instead of just masking it. No citrus on hand? Run a handful of ice cubes through with the water on, and the disposal comes out cleaner, even without the citrus. Use frozen orange peel to clean the garbage disposal.

We use our pressurized steam cleaner four ways. 1. A narrow nozzle gets into seams, floor edges, and tight spots around appliances, sinks, and faucets. Places that nothing else reaches. 2. Before applying any cleaning product, we steam the surface first. Some products work significantly better on dirt that has already been loosened by heat. 3. After the product has sat on the surface, we go over it with a brush attachment. The steam adds heat and moisture; the brush lifts wha

When we deep clean surfaces in your kitchen, we do it in four passes. It is inspired by the 3-bucket system used in hospitals. In our case, we use 4 different microfibers and 2 buckets. First pass: microfiber(1), cleaning product, warm water. Second pass: dry microfiber(2) to remove the excess foam and product. Third pass: wet microfiber(3) with clean water to rinse off anything left behind. Fourth pass: dry microfiber(4) again to dry it and bring up the shine. We use this on

We don't use harsh chemicals, even inside the oven. Those fumes sit in a closed space. We don't want to breathe that, and neither should you. And in a kitchen full of grease and food residue, they don't even do that much. For most kitchen surfaces, our go-to is dish soap (we buy Dawn Platinum in bulk), alcohol, and water. One part, one part, ten parts. Warm or hot water and steam do most of the actual lifting. The soap and alcohol just help it let go. Simple works more often

There is a device we think every home should have. It is a pressurized steam cleaner — a small mobile tank that delivers steam under pressure. Multiple versions exist on Amazon for $50 to $90. Search for "2500W pressurized steam cleaner." When we got our first one, we thought it would put us out of business. It is that good for home use. We use them in every clean. They break down with heavy use, so we just replace them. At that price, it makes sense. If you cook regularly, g

Have you ever looked closely at your kitchen light bulbs? The ones on the ceiling. If they have a layer of dust on them, that same dust is on your ceiling and walls. It sticks to the grease that cooking puts in the air. The dust is not exactly visible, but it does make a kitchen feel dull, not bright enough.

We are sometimes asked why a kitchen needs a deep reset if it is cleaned regularly. You brush and floss daily, but you still need dental cleanings. Maintenance and proper cleaning are not the same. Your hygienist gets to the hard-to-reach places before buildup turns into a problem. A kitchen reset is similar. We focus on areas that regular cleaning misses. This includes walls, ceilings, cabinet tops, light fixtures, the inside of the hood, and under appliances.

Cleaning your kitchen cabinets in Reno, NV. The grease you don't see until someone removes it.

You turn the hood on every time you cook. You are careful about it. And you still end up with that grey fuzzy layer on top of your cabinets. Your hood takes out what rises directly above the stove but not everything. Small amounts of grease particles travel through the whole kitchen. They land on every horizontal surface they can find, cabinet tops, light fixtures, ceiling, and then the dust sticks to them. Over years it turns into something that is surprisingly hard to clean

Book a Kitchen Reset in May and we'll clean your fridge at no extra charge. A Kitchen Reset is a ceiling-to-floor clean by two people over several hours — every surface your kitchen has accumulated over years of cooking, including the places routine cleaning doesn't reach. The free Fridge Spa is our Mother's Day gift. Reno and around. Message us to book.

One of the first place where grease accumulates are the sides of cabinet doors next to the stove. We wipe the cabinet fronts regularly, but not the sides. Grease from cooking rises and settles and the dust sticks to it. Over time it builds into a layer most people never notice because they never think to look there.
