HOW TO CLEAN YOUR GRILL AFTER BBQ
Have you ever had dinner guests come over on really short notice? TONIGHT! I was kind of in a frenzy trying to get the house organized and something planned for dinner
that could feed a rugby team. (Go big or go home, right?) It would be fast and feed lots of hungry rugby players.
I also hated to think I would spend the majority of this beautiful day cleaning. Then, I remembered I have my very own miracle machine; my steam cleaner! ?
I took a deep breath, filled my steam cleaner with ordinary tap water, and while it was heating up, I brushed all the loose dirt and char off the BBQ. When my machine was ready,
I started with my patio furniture. I steam cleaned the textured outside with my steam nozzle and 2? stiff brush. I watched the dirt and grime melt away with almost no effort at all! I added a spiral-cut stainless steel scrubber to do the racks and the charred muck on the inside walls and the bottom by the grease catcher. ?
My whole barbecue was clean and sparkly in a total of 20 minutes! The meal was ready to go and my patio looked amazing. I got to sit back and relax until game time. I
enjoyed myself in the sun and came home for a great yummy meal with good friends on my sparkling clean patio. All of this thanks to my steam cleaner.
HOW TO CLEAN LEATHER AND FABRIC UPHOLSTERED SOFAS
Cleaning fabric upholstery
Most common messes such as dirt, dust, and mud can be removed by shampooing or steam-cleaning the fabric.
1. First, vacuum the entire surface of the sofa to remove dry, loose dirt.
2. Next, it?s time pre-treat the stain. Using a clean, white, very damp cloth, dab the stain to saturate it with water and loosen stubborn dirt particles.
3. Use your cleaning agent to spot-test the upholstery for colorfastness. To test, apply only the dry suds to a hidden part of your sofa?s upholstery and lightly scrub into the fabric with a cloth or soft-bristled brush. Allow the spot to dry.
4. The stain cleaned by steam. Apply dry suds from your cleaning mixture to the stain. Using the brush attachment on the steam cleaner, firmly and thoroughly shampoo the stained area in even, circular strokes. Once it?s removed, you?ll likely want to steam clean the entire surface of your sofa to ensure that the fabric wears evenly.
5. Allow the upholstery to dry.
6. Apply a fabric protector. This step will help keep your upholstery stain-resistant and durable.
Cleaning leather upholstery
Most leather sofas are made with finished leather, which is dyed for color uniformity and treated with a clear top coat for maximum durability. Because of this process, many common household stains?especially dirt and mud?can be cleaned with warm water and a clean sponge or cloth. But for tough stains, or to give your leather sofa a thorough cleaning, follow these steps:
1. Vacuum the entire surface of the sofa to remove dry, loose dirt.
2. Remove excess soap with a clean, dry, white cloth and allow the leather to dry thoroughly.
3. If the stain is still intact, try applying a specially-formulated leather stain remover. For extremely tough stains, other methods may work more effectively. Remove the cornstarch with a dry white cloth, and repeat the process as necessary.
Using a dry white cloth, work the mixture into the entire surface after cleaning and once a month to ensure the longevity of your leather furniture.
Weekly dusting and vacuuming, monthly cleaning, and the immediate treatment of stains are the best ways to protect your investment.
