Rinz EZ is the smartest way to clean your windows

By Johnnie ChuokeHappy Handyman

A while back I had a customer come in and she was in an area of the store that had the commercial window-cleaning supplies.

We carry that because we have a few window washers in the area. She was loading up all this equipment and so I asked her about her company. She then told me she was just getting supplies to clean her windows at her home.

I asked her if she had ever heard of Rinz EZ? Rinz EZ is the smartest way to clean your windows. You simply put a package of Rinz EZ soap in the applicator and add water and stir. Then you attach it to your hose and start cleaning the windows. You want to do this in the cool of the morning because the Rinz EZ sheets off cleanly to leave you a spot-free window. If the glass is hot, the Rinz EZ will dry too quickly. You can easily do 16 windows in 30 minutes. You can even reach the second-story windows from the ground with the Rinz EZ applicator. No more getting on a ladder. When I had a boat and a lake house, I always cleaned the boat and wet jets with the left over Rinz EZ. You can wash your car too, its very versatile. After I showed my customer the Rinz EZ she put back all the commercial stuff and walked out with one bag and a much easier job in mind.

Question: Hey Johnnie! I have really been trying to be as energy conscious as I can. I know one time you talked about a insulation that goes in the wall switch. What was the name, so that I know what to ask for at my local hardware store?

Answer: They are called MD Dual Purpose Light Switch Sealers. You remove the plate and put the sealer over the switch and then put back on the switch plate. Its just that easy. If you think that this is a waste of time, just put your hand over your switch plate, and then again after installing a switch sealer.

Question: I have some brick floors in a sun room out back. They used to be real shiny, but now they are just kind of dull. I had a company come out and quote me a price on re-sealing the floors. It was a shocker. So I thought I would do it myself. Do you have any suggestions?

Answer: There is a product called Quick Shine and it will put a shine on those bricks in no time flat. On a clean floor, mop on the Quick Shine and let dry. You will immediately see a shine. You want more shine? Just keep adding coats! I did my wood floor in my dining room in 10 minutes. And its not a wax, its a polymer finish so you never have to strip it off, you just walk it off. When the floor is not as shiny as you like just put on another coat! Instant shine again.

Question: I have a garage door that struggles sometimes because the rails get dirty from all the grease I put on them. I have to take all the grease and dirt out, and that is a real job. Do you think there is a better way to keep the rails lubricated so that the doors go up and down smoothly? I know its not good for the opener to stop and start when the doors get hung.

Answer: That grease makes the doors move smooth as first, but after the grease attracts dirt and dust, it doesnt work as well. My suggestion is to remove the grease with paint thinner on a rag. After the rails are all clean, spray them with Tri Flo. Tri Flo is a superior lubricant that doesnt attract dust. I like to call it Liquid Ball Bearings. You can use Tri Flo on motorcycle chains, bearings, locks, fishing equipment. Almost anything that needs a lubricant, you can use Tri Flo.
