a. how does one clean aluminum whether hub-caps, pots, pans, or art aluminum?
b. how does one get rid of yellow film-like scum that congregates on kitchen porcelain, enamel, counters, ceilings
and in bathroom on porcelaimn, floor and tiles.
The above yellow almost transparent filom seems to come back–does it have a microbe or spore or parasite in it?
Is there anything better, stronger than vinegar and baking soda or borax plus water solution and a good wipe off frequently?
Are there flying or wind, air borne nearlt microscopic brown tiny rectangualr or round creatures in the kitchen and bathroom and how to get tid of them occasionally OR is this my imagination?
Pls lemme know at thegrammardoc04@aol.com
tia, alan

tyvvvvm. Very informative.

In addition, what to clean with in the case of a very thin, almost transparent yellow scum or film that covers counters and enamel and ceiling in the kitchen, tub and sink porcelain and linoleum floor in bathroom. It seems to come back unless regularly treated with, say, vinegar or alcohol or hydrogen peroxide. . . Are theremany longterm terminal solutions? I am not being funny. It is a hateful film. is there a parasite or microbe in it? Will baking powder or borax plus vegar in water solution stop it? or something different or stronger?

Also, how does one clean aluminum corrosion (the grey to almost black tarnish-like “infernal ” covering) whether on hubcaps, pots and pans, or collectible art aluminum?

Please inform.You can also get me at thegrammardoc04@aol.com. ach

Hi just want to know, for washing up dishes, can I just use vinegar, in the place of detergent or is that not sanitary?

From a pregnant woman who doesn’t want to use chemicals around the house while cleaning, I say a big thank you!

[...] Most household cleaning jobs can be performed with warm water, vinegar, sodium bicarbonate, soap and a bit of elbow grease! A comprehensive list of green cleaning recipes and methods can be found here. [...]

I found your ideas were well thought and practical. In the janitorial world, we are still looking for the chemical companies to figure out what is needed to replace the chemicals so traditional in our buildings. It would be great if some of these ideas could be brought into the commercial arena.

I’ve got a great room deodorizer, especially good for those really putrid smells (vomit, dog urine, etc). Add boiling water to a bucket to fill it 1/2 to 3/4 full, then add 2-3 onions, halved. Put in the room (or car) and close the door. Leave 8 hours or overnight. The smells will be gone!
