Rick2 42 Report post Posted June 30, 2010 This might be a fun thread. What do we use around our own home that might not have been the original intention of the tool or chemical? I'll start off. There is always a little F-13 left in the pump sprayer and it works great cleaning the aluminum wheels on my wife's SUV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rick2 42 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 I used some Gutter Gernade (F 13, F 14?) on my deep frier last week. Came out like new. Hope it's not too toxic, I'll let Polina have the first french fries from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 A OK Pressure Washing 14 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 Hey Rick, The F-13 didn't damage the rims over time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rick2 42 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 Not that I've noticed. Besides, it's my wife's car. I'll just blame her if something happens to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Thad 135 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 Gutter grenade is great for cleaning tires. I try to keep it off the wheels. I have used deck stripper and muriatic acid as drain unstoppers before. NOT at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rick2 42 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 Do you think that would hurt PVC pipes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Thad 135 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 Do you think that would hurt PVC pipes? No, not unless you pour straight acid on dry pipes. Takes care of soap buildup and toilet paper clogs, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Chappy 138 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 Simple Cherry is a great all purpose cleaner for around the house. Restore is great for grout and tile, but wont get deep mold out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jerry 24 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 (edited) a table spoon of Citric acid in clear water run through you coffee-maker will de-scale it, and your coffee will taste better (again) :cheers: Just run a 2nd batch of clear water through it, to rinse.

0 Rick2 42 Report post Posted July 20, 2010 I've found a weak mix of oxalic works great to clean white grout between my hallway tiles. I mix it in a little cup and put it on with a small paint brush. Gotta keep Cody the Dog away from it though. I think it would burn his feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
