Another shared an incredibly satisfying before and after of her stovetop after she used the Scrub Daddy - apparently, it removed years of grime and oil from the surface!

Wood

Cleaning your beautiful wooden surfaces, such as your kitchen cabinets, dining room table, or hardwood floors, can be a challenge. Scrub Daddy is safe for all types of wood and won't scratch your flooring, cabinets, or finished furniture, but if you don’t want to use the product, here are a few simple steps to keep your wooden surfaces looking their best.

First, grab a soft cloth or a microfibre duster and give the surface a quick dusting. This will help remove any surface dirt and debris and prevent scratches while you clean.

Next, mix equal parts water and mild soap, like dish soap, in a spray bottle. A little soap goes a long way, so be careful not to use too much (you can always add more later). Spray the solution onto a soft cloth and wipe down the wood surface in the direction of the grain. Too much water can penetrate the wood and cause warping, so be sure to use a light touch.



For tough stains, like oil or grease, mix equal parts vinegar and water. Apply the solution to a soft cloth and gently rub it in the direction of the grain. Remember to rinse the surface with water to remove any residue.

Finally, dry the surface with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using paper towels, as they can leave behind lint.

By avoiding excessive moisture and cleaning up spills and stains promptly, you can keep your wood surfaces looking beautiful for years to come. Consider using a wood conditioner or finish to add an extra layer of protection and shine.

Glass

Cleaning glass surfaces can be a challenge, but with the right tools and technique, you can achieve a streak-free shine. No need for pricey glass cleaners when Scrub Daddy can get the job done without leaving a scratch or smudge.

Here’s an alternative: Start by mixing equal parts of water and vinegar, or grab a bottle of your favourite glass cleaner. Next, spray the solution onto the glass surface and wipe it down with a soft cloth, like a microfibre cloth. Work in small sections, starting at the top of the glass and working your way down.



To remove streaks, use a squeegee. Start at the top of the glass and pull the squeegee down in a smooth, continuous motion. Make sure to use a clean, dry blade for the best results. And don't forget to wipe the edges of the glass with a clean, dry cloth, as this is where streaks often occur.

For even better results, try to clean your glass surfaces on a cloudy day or in the shade. Direct sunlight can cause streaks and make it harder to see where you've already cleaned.

Leather

Leather is a beautiful and durable material that adds a touch of elegance to any home. However, keeping leather surfaces clean can be a bit of a challenge, as it is a sensitive material that can be easily damaged by water and harsh chemicals. Luckily, Scrub Daddy is gentle enough to clean leather without damaging the material.

You can also do the following: To clean leather surfaces, you'll need to use a gentle approach. Start by dusting the leather surface with a soft cloth or duster to remove any surface dirt or debris. This will make the surface easier to clean and will prevent scratching.

Next, choose a cleaner that is specifically designed for use on leather. Avoid using water, as it can penetrate the leather and cause damage. Instead, dampen a soft cloth with the leather cleaner and gently wipe down the leather surface. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the best results.



Avoid using excessive pressure when cleaning the leather, as this can cause scratches. Also, avoid exposing leather surfaces to direct sunlight, as this can cause fading and discolouration.

For best results, clean leather surfaces regularly and consider treating them with a leather conditioner to keep them looking their best. With a little bit of care, you can keep your leather surfaces looking beautiful for years to come.

I clean my 88yr old mother's home & of course her shower. Occasionally it needs a scrub with Gumption or Jif. Otherwise, I use my steam cleaner as it works for most cleaning jobs.
