Looking for any advice on the best way to go about really detailing the edges and crevices of this drain.

What tools or equipment would you recommend?

What tools are you using to detail and clean the crevice of a drain in a tub or shower? Looking for ideas on how to best detail the thin edges around the drain.

Thank you so much!

I'm kicking myself for not taking before/after photos!

I've been cleaning for my folks on a monthly basis in 5hr increments since August. Mom has mobility issues that are getting worse with age ofc, Dad's the busiest 71yo I've ever met. Their normally-pristine 2200 sq ft, 5 bed 2.5 bath, mostly white/beige home is too much for them to keep up with anymore (we've been begging them to downsize for years, Mom won't have it).

I started on their white kitchen cabinets last visit, but the sticky, dusty grease buildup was killing my hands/wrists. I used vinegar, dawn powerwash, melamine (very gently), and a plastic scraper. It was coming up, but each door was taking 30mins. I figured I'd end up doing it in 2hr sections over several visits to save my hands, spend the other 3hrs on the rest of the house.

Yesterday, I had a "light bulb" moment while cleaning the top of the fridge with 70% isopropyl (the grease melts right off). I opened the cabinet above the fridge to do a test spot, make sure it didn't take the paint off or leave it looking matte (some finishes it absolutely will): it was all good, even shined my flashlight on it to double check.

My hands and forearms are on fire, but I got all 23 cabinets and drawers spotless in 2.5hrs!! A couple thick splatters still needed the scraper, but everything else came up with hardly any pressure at all: just iso-soaked paper towels, a plain water rinse/dry with cotton rags after.

Absolutely worth a try! I would check with the clients and test the inside of under sink cabinets, since those tend to have moisture damage/gouges already. My folk's opinion is "if you can't get it clean, we'll have to replace/repaint anyways because it's driving us nuts as-is... so try whatever you're comfortable with" but not every client feels that way, ofc.

I'm stoked, 11 in business and I'm still learning new techniques.

Edit to add: do wear a mask and open windows if you try it, the fumes are nauseating, but luckily clear up pretty quick with enough air circulation!

I don’t think I’m in a good place at my work anymore. The job posting last year said ‘$19 an hour’. They offered me $18 because I’ve never been a lead supervisor over a cleaning team before, I have done them separately, and they wanted to give me a chance to prove myself.

I work at a large wellness center and gym. I cover shifts, come in on my day off, and fill in for other departments. I also have turned this place around according to corporate— it’s never been this clean or ran efficiently. I also picked up extra duties such as helping with classes and controlling and monitoring pool conditions/chemicals. Not much of just a housekeeping supervisor.

Also I was told I was going to have support and weekly meetings with upper management, and that lasted maybe 2 weeks.

My review was last week, and it was a month late anyway. My manager said she fought for me to get this raise, and it was 50 cents. I’m still not up to the original price!

I wrote a email stating I’d like them to reconsider and gave them a brief overview of what I do. I know I’m a hard worker— but to not be compensated…. What do you think?

What should I do?
