Oh oh, the gas oven. 12 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: Gass the gas oven, and it just heats up real slow. 13 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:12,119 Speaker 3: Now it didn't work fine before, but I'm thinking that 14 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: maybe that burner is dirty in there. 15 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: Yeah, it probably is. There's there's something that impedes the 16 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: gas flow is usually the problem. Is it a newer 17 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: one or an older one? 18 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: Oh, it's probably five to seven years old. 19 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you still got the uh manual at all? 20 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: Or that'd be I probably do somewhere. 21 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I take a look at that, and there's 22 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: usually a trouble shooting page on there that or get 23 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: the Usually on those ovens, it's a when you open 24 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: the oven door down at the bottom, there's a there's 25 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: a plate with a model number, and you probably know 26 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: the manufacturer if you google the model number and the 27 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: manufacturer and troubleshoot the issue. I'm sure it's not putting 28 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: a code on an oven. You know, furnaces will at 29 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: least do that. But you get a troubleshooting page, and 30 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: I think you're going to probably be directed to the 31 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 1: burner and and how to clean it and what to do. 32 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: But I feel pretty certain that's what it is. But 33 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: they're all going to be different. That's why you got 34 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: to get that get that manto out and see what 35 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 1: you can do there. 36 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: Okay, alrighty, I appreciate your help. You take care of it. 37 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,279 Speaker 1: All right, thanks? Don take care. Yeah, yeah, not necessarily 38 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: an appliance repair person myself. I had a weird thing 39 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: happened that about three weeks ago. I was I was 40 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: Danny Knows. I was whining about my new refrigerator that 41 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: had numerous service calls. 42 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 4: I wouldn't say whining, but just complaining. 43 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: Complaining, yes, yeah, And then after we finally after several weeks, 44 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: got those resolved. I don't have a gas oven, but 45 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: I have an electric oven, and I'm sitting there in 46 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: the element, which is like a ceramic coating. I guess 47 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: had a little issue then it was old. It was 48 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: like twelve fifteen years old, and all of a sudden, 49 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: you know, a flash of flame going from the element 50 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: through the through the through the oven. It was. It 51 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: was a little alarming, and anyway, I had to replace 52 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: the element in it. And turned out to be not 53 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: a big deal, but got my attention, got my attention, 54 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: all right. Our phone number, if you'd like to join 55 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: us again is eight hundred eighty two three eight two 56 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: five five. Feel free to join us. Cleaning up before 57 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: the holidays, after the holidays. A lot of it has 58 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: to do with cadvatry. Maybe it's some things after you 59 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: get through this holiday, you just kind of start looking 60 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: at your house and you're going, you know, we need 61 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: a little we need a little pop, we need a 62 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: little pizzeas. And one of the things just recently, I 63 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: guess our cabinets are twenty years old, eighteen years old, 64 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: somewhere in that neighborhood. And you hear me talk about 65 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: a product called Millsic and there's there's all kinds of 66 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: products for cleaning cabinets, and you know, you all hear 67 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: you know, use a little lemon oil on that, or 68 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: use a little xyz on that. And there's some cabinet 69 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: polishes cleaners that you really don't want to use because 70 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: of the residue. And you know, if you've got some 71 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: for mica topped cabinets, that's one thing. If you've got 72 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: some cherry wood cabinets, maybe that's another. In fact, I 73 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: know it is. I mean when you have a formca 74 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: cabinet and you know for mica is basically paper and 75 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: plastic on the surface is the plastic and it's compressed 76 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: together to create a panel which is in glue to 77 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: a wood type material. Nothing wrong with that. I'm just 78 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 1: saying it doesn't it needs to be cleaned. Then that's 79 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: basically what you're really striving to do. What I don't 80 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: want you to use is use any type of silicones 81 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: or waxes are just not good. They leave a little 82 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: bit of residue, a little bit of a haze. They 83 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 1: still don't really clean it up. And whether it's for 84 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: mica or wood, you don't really want to use that 85 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 1: you really want in fact, if you want to just 86 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: clean that up and you don't really know what's on them, 87 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: it sounds strange. But what you can use is is 88 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: mineral spirits paint dinner. It's not going to hurt to finish, 89 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: damp in a cloth um scrub around the handles. There's 90 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: probably a little bit of residual there and a little 91 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: soft and gummy type material. Don't use a wax that 92 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 1: contains a soft wax. That's going to overtime get gummy 93 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: and dirty and it's actually going to exacerbate the problem. 94 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: The Millsik product that I mentioned is unique, and I 95 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: think there's one. I believe it's Wagman's. It's been a 96 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: while since I've used it. It isn't an aerosol, and 97 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: it is a it's a cleaner and a preservative. It 98 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: works real well. The Millstick is an oil that removes wax, oils, dirt. 99 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: It does an excellent job, and it really does. I 100 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: mean in our kitchen. I don't know how your kitchen 101 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: is set up, but really, when you think about the 102 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: dirt we have inside our home and especially in the 103 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: kitchen area, in a lot of cases, it's fortified with 104 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: oils because that's where we're cooking, and our hands have 105 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: oils on them, and that's what we're grabbing. Is the 106 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: doors or around the handles or the knobs, and so 107 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 1: grime is not just removed with water. I mean it 108 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: needs something to cut through that. And you can if 109 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: you're honest and you're really looking at the kdvantry, and 110 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: we were, and there were you know, the upper cabinets, 111 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: especially where you're reaching and maybe not always grabbing the 112 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: knob and just kind of opening the doors, you could 113 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: see that there was a film. That's that's that's kind 114 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: of really what you noticed. There was a film. There 115 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 1: was a I'm not going to say it was greasy, 116 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: it what didn't really look like that, just it was 117 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: a film. It was it was a cloudy film and 118 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 1: probably cause from cooking oils in our hands. The millsake 119 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: removes that if anyone had waxed those cabinets, it removes 120 00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: that if it's not a formica cabinet and it real wood, 121 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: it will penetrate and it will rejuvenate that and man, 122 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: it did really make that cabinetry pop. Another thing is 123 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: the is the granite. If you have granted I've talked 124 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: about this, it was years ago. There is a Jaws 125 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: makes a granite uh cleaner, which is very good. It 126 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: makes it a little bit more defined. And another cleaning 127 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 1: company called Grantite Gold. They make a polish wipe, they 128 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: make a cleaner, they make a sealer, and they make these. 129 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: It's it's so it's kind of like a cloth, like 130 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: a Clorox cloth cloth, but it's not Clorox. It's a 131 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: wipe and it's called Granite Gold polishing granite polishing wipes. 132 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: And I had some in the cabinet, and uh, at 133 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: the point, I haven't used those for a couple of years, 134 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: and I I used one, and it is it still 135 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: amazes me. And I used to used to say that 136 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: when I used to use it all the time. I 137 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: just haven't used it for a while. It really puts 138 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: a sheen to the granite. And depending on I guess 139 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: what kind of granite you have on mind, it's you know, 140 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: a brand and a Bayesian. I'm not gonna say circles, 141 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: but you know it's mother Nature made it. So it's 142 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: not an exact pattern, but it really made that pop 143 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: and it looked fantastic. So as you're working in your kitchen, uh, 144 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: maybe after entertaining, take a look or before take a 145 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: look at those cabinets and see if they could use 146 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: a little attention, and also the granite, and if during 147 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: the holidays too, if you're thinking about or you're concerned 148 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: about the need to seal granite. Some types of granite 149 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: need ceilings, some don't. I forget which ones the harder, 150 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: the dark colors of the light colors. I'd have to 151 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: look that up again. But do a little test. This 152 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: is the best way is just take a tablespoon or teaspoon, teaspoon, 153 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 1: a little teaspoon of water and put a dollop of 154 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: that water on that countertop and give it a minute. 155 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,599 Speaker 1: And if that dollup is still sitting on that countertop 156 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: like a little puddle of water, you're good. You're good. 157 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: It's not penetrating that granite. If it starts soaking in, 158 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: there's less of a dollop of water. After you know, 159 00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: thirty seconds or so, it's sinking in to that granted. 160 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: And you know, if that's wine or kool aid and 161 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: it's sinking into that granted, it's going to stain it. 162 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: So you want to be proactive and make sure that's 163 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, good and sealed before you start entertaining on 164 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: a regular basis.

Also on the other call with 267 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: the guest stove, just just google. You know, guests get 268 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: the g guest stoves, and you know when it wasn't 269 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: heating quickly, you know, we said it's probably the burner, 270 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: something along nose lines. Quick look at their manual. You 271 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: have turn off the burner, remove the grate and burner cap, 272 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: paper clip or toothbrush and clean the small holes around 273 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: the burner ring and make sure the cap sits flat 274 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: when it's reassembled. Making sure the cap is centered and 275 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: fully flat on the burner. The other cause could be 276 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: low gas pressure. But if you have other gas supplants 277 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 1: that are running just fine, probably not the problem. If 278 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: you have other gas appliances that are running slow, that 279 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,360 Speaker 1: very well can also be the problem. The other thing 280 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: is moisture in the burner, and that's something you can check, 281 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: like if you're burning a pot of water. All right, 282 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: you can join us.

Because there could be different 340 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: things we could do. 341 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: If I push them closed, they open up about an 342 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 2: anchche and a half okay or anything like that. 343 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: Have you checked to see if the screws are tight 344 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: into the wood cabinet themselves? 345 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 2: First, I honestly haven't touched them yet. 346 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: Okay. I think what you're gonna do, You're gonna get 347 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: the feel of it of what's kind of making them, 348 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, do that, and the first thing I would 349 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: do is make sure that the cabinet hinges are tight. Now, 350 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: be careful. I mean, I don't want you giving it 351 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: everything you got on those screws and strip them or anything. 352 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,000 Speaker 1: But just make sure they're snug, okay. And you may 353 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: find that they're just loose and that's what's causing a problem, 354 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: or they may just be able to if you loose 355 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: if you take you know, once you tighten them up, 356 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: if it doesn't help, I would loosen the screws on 357 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: the bottom hinge and see, you know, when you start 358 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 1: closing the door, then see if there's resistance, because it 359 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: may need to be have a little backing behind the hinge. 360 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 1: So if you do it against the cabinet, not the door, 361 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: but the cabinet itself, and you loosen those screws and 362 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: maybe take them out and maybe use a toothpick, couple toothpicks, 363 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: just put them behind the hinge, run the screws back 364 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: in and see if that kicks it forward enough or 365 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: allows it to lay flatter. So I would look, is 366 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: it happen on all of them or just one or two? 367 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 2: Two or three? 368 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I got one too, I need to address. In fact, 369 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: you've got to just made a note. And it's the 370 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: one that's most often used. And it's a base cabinet 371 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: in the trash cans behind it, and it for the 372 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: last month probably hasn't closed all the way. Sometimes I 373 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: can just push it. It feels like there's a little 374 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: bit of resistance, but I would so it may just 375 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: need to have that hinge, even on the door where 376 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 1: it's flat, just kicked forward a little bit and that'll 377 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: create a little more tension to pull it against the cabinet. 378 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: But that's where I would check first check to make 379 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: sure the screws are taut, and then maybe loosen it on, 380 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 1: you know, try to get and see, you know, if 381 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: you loosen all the screws, if if they're tight and 382 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: it's still doing it, loosen all the screws and just 383 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: see what. You know, which hinge needs to be kicked 384 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: out a little bit, the one on the door, the 385 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: one on the on the box, and you'll probably be 386 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: able to adjust it that way. 387 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 2: All right, I'll give it a shot. Thank you very much. 388 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: You're quite welcome. Thank you. Take care. Yeah, and I 389 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 1: do that on doors all the times too. You know, 390 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: if you start having doors that are closing themselves or 391 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: won't stay open, and or you know, you close them 392 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: and they open back up. There's just a lot of 393 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: times it's just building out that hinge and fiddling with that. 394 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: And you know, I've even put penny, put a penny. 395 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: We're not making pennies anymore, but you put them behind 396 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: the hinge, losing a screw, slide a penny on there 397 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: and just pulls it out just a little bit. May 398 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: very well help you out. All right, let's go to Diana. Diana, welcome, 399 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: Thank you. 400 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 8: It's a player talking to you. 401 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: Thank you. 402 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 8: If you're as half as half as nice in person 403 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 8: and you are on your show, you're a really special person. 404 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: It depends if I'll ask that Danny, if you asked Danny, 405 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: or if you asked my wife. 406 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 8: Well, my kids always said I was a terrorist, but 407 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 8: the airline thinks that too. So well, you're always respectful, respectful, 408 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 8: you're non condescending, you don't cut people off, You're polite. 409 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 8: It's a pleasure talking to you. What I wanted to 410 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 8: ask you about, and I always want to call, but 411 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 8: I'm embarrassed to call. But you make people feel comfortable. 412 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 8: Thank you. It is the liquid ice melt. I had 413 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 8: been looking up about it in Colwell. I called Ice 414 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 8: Solutions and the owner called me back from Colorado, really 415 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 8: nice person and talked about it to art by Arctic 416 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 8: Arctic Armor, and it was sixteen ninety ninety nine for 417 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 8: a five gallon, but the shipping was four dollars, so 418 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 8: that was cost prohibitive. So before this snow we had 419 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 8: last week, I was able to get something on Amazon 420 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 8: overnight and was Petro ice melt a gallon. It did nothing? 421 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 3: Is that? 422 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you, because there are so many 423 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: different types of ice melters, and there's even like a 424 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: preventer that you put on before the snow which keeps 425 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 1: the snow from Okay, so one of the things you're 426 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 1: out of Cincinnati, and I know one of the things 427 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: where that is. In fact, even the city this year 428 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 1: decided they weren't going to use pre treatment on streets. 429 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: They used to use beet juice, I think, and it 430 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: was to minimize the accumulation of snow before a storm. 431 00:28:55,760 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: But what your environment has happens a lot is it 432 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:09,880 Speaker 1: rains and then changes to snow. And what happens then 433 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: is we put this preventer on and we have a 434 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: decent rain, and then it changes the snow and it's 435 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: kind of neutralized or washed the preventer off. I can't 436 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 1: remember the name of the product I used to recommend, 437 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: and it's probably been twenty or twenty five years ago 438 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: on this show. And it really depend on each storm 439 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: whether it was effective or not. Sometimes when it was 440 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: really really cold, there was no rain and I had 441 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: sprayed that on I think it was called freeze Fighter 442 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: or something along those lines, and I'd sprayed it on 443 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: a concrete it would it would prevent maybe the first 444 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: inch or so from accumulating and then in the next 445 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 1: inch would just be a little slushy. And it was 446 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: good for preventing a couple of two three inch as 447 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: the snow. And that was about it. So I would 448 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: imagine they're all kind of along those same lines. 449 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 8: This is a preventter. And it said straight like a 450 00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,360 Speaker 8: couple hours before the story, right, and my husband followed 451 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 8: the directions. Yeah, completely, And it's just it's not cheap. 452 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 8: It was like thirty seven dollars a gallon. Wow, some 453 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 8: are more, some or less, but I just got the 454 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 8: over night. 455 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I quit talking about it because I didn't 456 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: think the value was there. Number one and number two. 457 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 1: A lot of times when we had snow, we always 458 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,959 Speaker 1: got the rain first and it changed the snow so 459 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 1: it was even less effective. But even when it didn't rain, 460 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: it was okay. But it wasn't saving me much work 461 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,880 Speaker 1: at all. 462 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 8: That was the whole idea, because the snowblower is not working. Yeah, 463 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 8: and I thought, great, this will help one gallon goes 464 00:30:59,240 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 8: very little. 465 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd probably look at Magnesium chloride is a wonderful 466 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:11,959 Speaker 1: ice melter. It's a granular product, minimally corrosive compared to 467 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: some of the other ice melters very safe for grass melts, 468 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: snow down the zero. 469 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 8: And this one was magnesium. 470 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well I didn't like the. 471 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 8: Pullets because they stick and get gummy. Yeah, maybe I'm 472 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 8: just putting it out wrong. 473 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: Well, if yours are getting gummy, then another thing to 474 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: try would be the next step would be calcium chloride, 475 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: which just make sure is pure calcium chloride. A lot 476 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: of times it goes under all kinds of different brand names, 477 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: and ice melter would be one of them. And one 478 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: of the things that it does it I know, the 479 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: magnesium cloride. I don't know if it's say it gets gummy, 480 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: but it gets it does it does get. There is 481 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: a residue calcium chloride. It's a residue, but it's more 482 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: of a powder. But I would seriously, I would forego 483 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: the liquid. I never thought you got your bang for 484 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: your buck, and it was expensive, and I'd really go 485 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: back to like a calcium chloride pellet, stay away from 486 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: the rock salt, or a magnesium product and not a 487 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:30,640 Speaker 1: liquid magnesium, a magnesium chloride pellet. All right, Diana, thank 488 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: you very much for the call. Appreciate it, and if 489 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: you'd like to join us. Do so.

They 542 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,440 Speaker 9: used to play on the radio and then they changed 543 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 9: to a sports format.

I agree. 550 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 9: Yeah. Two things. I I was on hold, so I 551 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:20,280 Speaker 9: missed that I caught the tail end of a collar 552 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 9: that was talking about cabinets and I picked it. I 553 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,640 Speaker 9: picked it up when you said putting screws, don't don't 554 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 9: strip the screw, don't crank on it. What I do, 555 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 9: just as a tip, is I put a little wood 556 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 9: glue on the screw and then then then it kind 557 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 9: of fixes that stripping for sure. 558 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: In fact, another little tip of that is you know 559 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: if if you have stripped it in that hole is 560 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: kind of worn out. This just goes way back as 561 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: just a little couple pieces or maybe just one piece 562 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: of tooth with a little wood glo. Yeah, I heard 563 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: you say that. That in there, Boy, that grips really nicely. 564 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 9: Okay, I like either one. The blue works too. 565 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: Ye. 566 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 9: My main my main call. And you've probably heard this 567 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 9: a thousand times, but I want to refinish my bill, 568 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 9: doesn't I've lived for thirty years. Today is my sixtieth birthday. 569 00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 9: By the by the way, well thank you so much. 570 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 9: But it was my cabinet. It's hard to believe. I 571 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 9: live in a starter neighborhood. But the prices are ridiculous. 572 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 8: You know. 573 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 9: My house is a twelve hundred square foot house, one 574 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 9: car garage. But I don't want to replace my cabinets. 575 00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,080 Speaker 9: I don't think it's worth it to spend a few 576 00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:00,839 Speaker 9: thousand dollars. So I want to rEFInd them. I'm going 577 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:08,279 Speaker 9: to replace the hinges, replace the knobs, slight upgrade, lubricate 578 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,600 Speaker 9: the drawers with silicone spray. 579 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:11,239 Speaker 1: Good. 580 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 9: But I want to know how to And the cabinets 581 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:18,440 Speaker 9: are stained, Okay, I don't want to paint them. But 582 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 9: I think you mentioned mill Sak. I think you did. 583 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 9: I can't remember, but I wanted to know the process 584 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,359 Speaker 9: for the cleaning. Sure, you know, because there's you know, 585 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:36,480 Speaker 9: grease and hands seeing stuff all around. 586 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, when you have a stained cabinet, they're they're 587 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: you know, you're not really refinishing because refinishing requires sanding. 588 00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: Sanding that stain out. That's a big project. So the 589 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: mill Sick is an oil that actually this product's over 590 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: one hundred years old in a Hunghungarian cabinet maker actually 591 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:07,080 Speaker 1: invented it over one hundred and five years ago and 592 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: it's MI L S e K dot com if you 593 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: want to take a look at it. But what it does, 594 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 1: which is unique, is it removes old wax. And if 595 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: you've been in the house for a while, somebody probably 596 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,760 Speaker 1: waxed it at one point. Or used a silicone lemon 597 00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:32,320 Speaker 1: oil on it, both of which gets soft and cloudy. 598 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: It removes grease from our hands and from cooking, and 599 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: it also revitalizes the wood. So I've had people that 600 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 1: have called this show and they were calling about refinishing 601 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 1: a cabinet, painting it, stuff like that, And I asked 602 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:52,919 Speaker 1: them why, and they told me the problem. I said, well, 603 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 1: before you do that, unless you're doing it for cosmetic reasons, 604 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: why don't you use millsic and see if we can 605 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 1: and clean that thing up. And I've had many people 606 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: over the years ago like, man, you saved me a 607 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: big project. It does work, and it's easy to use. 608 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,960 Speaker 1: It's literally a matter of using a cotton cloth or 609 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: a microfiber towel. And it has uh, it comes in lemon, 610 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 1: it comes in orange, so an orange oil, lemon oil. 611 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: I think it even has a holiday sent one like 612 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,799 Speaker 1: a cinnamon, which is immaterial. It just has a nice 613 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 1: scent to it. And you put this on this cloth 614 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: and you know, you you rub it down and it 615 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: and it dissolves wax. It removes grease and the if 616 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:47,799 Speaker 1: it's like a wood cabinet and not a lamon or something, 617 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: I mean real wood. It'll make that wood grain pop. 618 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 1: I mean it'll look great. 619 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 9: Okay, So it's only the one product. It's not a cleaner. 620 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 9: And then and like you said, you verified it for me, 621 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 9: I didn't mean refinished standing and all that, right, I 622 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 9: just wanted to clink because they're stained. 623 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I. 624 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,240 Speaker 9: Have a problem with painting over stained. I don't know why. 625 00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: I just well, first of all, if it's chips, you 626 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: can see the stain. So that's always a problem with cabinetry, 627 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:23,760 Speaker 1: no matter. You know, you do a couple of coats 628 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: of primer and you still can run into that. But 629 00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 1: I'd certainly give this a try. I mean, I don't 630 00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 1: know how far a bottle goes. I would say, probably 631 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: do your whole kitchen and it might be ten bucks 632 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: or so. You know, you take the handles off them 633 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: and go after it. I think you'll be well satisfied. 634 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm going to upgrade the knobs and the hinges 635 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:53,359 Speaker 9: need to be replaced. But it's only I only didn't 636 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,280 Speaker 9: need that one product for everything. There's not a singer, 637 00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,400 Speaker 9: a finisher. 638 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,760 Speaker 1: That's it. Okay, does a good. 639 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 9: Job, Okay, Yeah, I've read you mentioned it a lot. 640 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it contains no silicons, contains no waxes, so you know, 641 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't get cloudy like so many cleaners do. So 642 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:18,080 Speaker 1: I get that a try. I think you'll be very 643 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 1: happy of using that and it'll clean it up quite well. 644 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 1: Be sure to give me a full report, and I 645 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,160 Speaker 1: appreciate the call. Thank you, as we you know, this 646 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: time of year is really a great time to do 647 00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: that too. I mean, you know, you're right in the 648 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:36,880 Speaker 1: middle of the probably the heavier kitchen you season. So 649 00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: whether you do it after the holidays or you do 650 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,840 Speaker 1: it before, that's your call. But if they're kind of 651 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:48,040 Speaker 1: borderline and getting, you know, a little grungy. I think 652 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,360 Speaker 1: there is a disclaimer on it, and you know a 653 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,759 Speaker 1: lot of people won't know what type of finish it's 654 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 1: on there. I don't think you can use it over 655 00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:01,399 Speaker 1: a polyurethane, use it over varnish, use over schlack, overlacker. 656 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,919 Speaker 1: But I had a varnished m well, a little desk 657 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,279 Speaker 1: like your computer sits on. I've used it on that, 658 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: and you know, right where my hands would sit on 659 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:19,399 Speaker 1: that desk. It was just it was gooey, dirry, and man, 660 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: it knocked that right out. It cleaned that up and 661 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 1: rejuvenated that.
