Don't Be Stingy - Come and Share Your House Cleaning Tips
shower cleaning
I clean houses professionally and I like to make sure I get EVERYTHING sparkling.but one thing I haven't figured out, at the bottom of a curved door the space behind the track but on the front of the door how do I clean it?! I can't get a finger in or a toothbrush. I can just about squeeze the corner of a cloth in but that doesn't scrub it it just smears it, so any suggestions?

Have you tried a Q-Tip? Or you could put a cloth around a knitting needle.

I use a steamer machine and/or an old thin butter knife wrapped around a thin old hankercheif.

Yes! I have the answer! go to a pet store and look for an aquarium filter cleaning brush. you can get them in various sizes, some quite small, with flexible bristles, that should be able to fit into any space.
It looks like a bottle brush, only smaller.

Hi, have you tryed pouring straight vinegar around the slide, I clean every thing with vinegar. Baking Soda then pour the Vinegar will make a bubbling cleaner try that and maybe a cotton swab or toothpick let me know what you find that works for you because we are fixing to put one in an I may need to know .

q-tips would fit but it would take a prohibitive amount to clean the area needed but thanks for the idea. I adapted your idea about the cloth around the needle and that worked okay. So good one!Have you tried a Q-Tip? Or you could put a cloth around a knitting needle.

Jennifer, Get yourself a brush that is round. I get mine at the hardware store or janitorial supply. They are handy for a lot of cleaning in hard to get places. The vinegar and baking soda thing might work to though I haven't tried it. I had a customer show me how to do the corners and underneath the doors with straight alcohol also, but you need to let it soak a lot and as a housecleaning serviceperson you may not have the time to get it all off at once. The brush helps to keep the gunk out of there if it has been neglected before cleaning.
