Cleaning Soaking Tubs
Comments (8)Hi there, Great post. I am trained in chemicals now. But after the fact. I had to go for a licese for a job. However the things I did before then I am convinced are what gave me throat cancer. I'm lucky I guess. I was diagnosed going into my last stage of cancer. They gave me a year to live. It's been 14 years now. Anyway one of my jobs required this type of license. But before that I used chenicals as if they were going out of style. If the label said it could get the job done I would use it. My latest which was just befoe diagnosis was easy off. I accidently left the soiled rag on my soon to be replaced counter top which was white. Sort of lol When I went back to the sink I found the towel which was used to do the oven. When I picked it up (no gloves or mask_ that spot was so white it gave me thought in not replacing it. I then went and did the whole coulnter. I then cleaned over that with a household cleaner. I tried it on something else and then something else. It worked on everything. (this was the spray) I finally went to the store and got cans of it. With all said and done it all ended with me doing the kitchen floor. All the grooves that you can't get clean after years. This floor looked brand new. So easy off was my new cleaner. Yes I did smoke but not heavy. I was soon diagnosed with throat cancer and ultimatly given my death sentence. I fooled them lol but that easy off stands in my mind. It will never go away. They say for every action there is a reaction. I think and the Drs do also that the eazy off was the reacttor. As I said, I used no gloves or masks as a rule. Just oncein a while I would be conscience of it and grab some. the rest of the time I thought I was infallable. I hope also that this will help someone. I only come in here once in a while and leave. I think they call someone like me a troll lol. It's just that I can't fit everything in a dat. But when I saw this I had to comment. Nw I know why they tell you to use dawn on your kittens for fleas. have a good one. Maybe someday I can set aside some time to just hang around here. Have had lots of experiences in my life and also still need many questions answered....See MoreAny recs on a bathtub that is kid friendly and good for soaking?
Comments (2)What did you decide on? I'm in this same boat 10 yrs later!...See MoreWeek 174 - OT GW forums on mobile & Houzz issues on participation
Comments (36)On my iPhone, I use the 'frequently used sites' icons that are there when I click on Safari and it takes me right to it. No (lousy) App for me either. But I also learned the trick (from a fellow GW poster) to find it anytime, from the Houzz Home page drop down Menu. And I always use a mobile devise (iPhone and iPad Mini) but it also has worked on a PC or Android devise when I've tried it. That other GW post was some time back when Houzz was reaking havoc with our beloved GW Forums soon after the transition. Everyone was having issues with their bookmarks and previous ways of finding GW. The poster mentioned that it was now listed under the 'Advice' section!! I'm sorry I don't remember who it was to give them credit for that marvelous discovery. Previously I believe there was a 'GardenWeb' listing directly from the main menu. So even just now, from Safari, I Googled Houzz, clicked on the Home Page, then click on the Menu icon to get here: Then click on the 'Advice' section and you will see 'Houzz Discussions' and 'Gardenweb Discussions': I never knew there were two separate Forums before. Then to get here for instance, click on the 'Home Forums' under the GW Discussions. And then you have all of the Home Forum topics: Or the wonderful Garden Forums etc. I'm not sure if everyone else is doing it like this or something different. But this simple direction has helped me immensely. I don't comment often (especially having delt with long term family health problems) but this Forum is and has been such a lifeline for me. It is informative, entertaining and has such emotional continuity with the history of such great posters. The knowledge base and the time to giving help from everyone is just amazing. And yes I quite agree with the frustrations of new Houzz posters who don't know the GW ways and other irritations. For instance I was no longer getting email notifications on comment follow ups like I used to on the old GW. I'll see what happens after this one though. But I plan on sticking around for the long haul. Sharing knowledge and helping; isn't that what GW is all about? Paying it Forward....See MoreKohler Soaking Tub Opinions
Comments (5)We have one of the Kohler lithocast tubs. It is very deep and slippery when wet making it difficult to get in and out of. No problems with the drain but I’m afraid to let my grandkids bathe in it all at the same time with the problems I’ve read about with the drain. I wish I had just gotten my old tub which was the Kohler cast iron Ironworks tub. Not quite as deep but easy to get in and out of and traction strips on the bottom surface....See Morechiflipper
