Window cleaning in the kitchen

Glass surfaces can be troublesome to clean. Its hard to know which side the streaks are on, and getting rid of them completely can be time consuming. Try these helpful hints:

Chemicals: Several different chemicals can be used to clean the glass in your home. Spray chemicals from the store are effective, fast and dont require any special mixing. If you are trying to save money, then you can make your own using 1 cup of rubbing alcohol, 1 cup of water and just a tablespoon of vinegar. Vinegar and ammonia should never be mixed, but you can use straight ammonia to clean glass that is cloudy. You can also choose some hot soapy water to clean the glass. Rinse the glass with water afterward to remove the soap residue, and give it a lovely shine by adding just a little vinegar to the water.

Sneaky streaks: Take the guesswork out of finding streaks by going in different directions on the front and back of the glass. Use side-to-side motions on the front, but focus on up and down motions in the back. When the glass dries, you will easily be able to determine where the streaks are.

Extendable cleaners: Cleaning the insides of windows is easy, but scrubbing the outside is a little more challenging. Look for special tools featuring telescoping handles. With a soft scrubber on one side and a squeegee on the opposite side, these tools are great for cleaning windows outside. Simple spray the scrubber with your solution, clean the window and then remove the cleaner with the squeegee.

Work quickly: One key to getting clean windows that look great is to work fast. Drying the cleaner quickly will prevent streaking and allow you to keep moving. Gather all your supplies before you start working, so you can quickly move from one part of the process to the next.

Cleaning glass and windows is not necessarily difficult, but it can be time-consuming. It can also be frustrating when you are dealing with windows and have to move between the interior and exterior of your home. You can get the chore done with the right tools and the right attitude. However, it may be worth your time to pay a cleaning service to handle the glass for you. Then you can just sit back and enjoy how great it looks, without having to deal with the frustration and time.

Each year, thousands of Arizona residents email or call Rosie Romeros radio show with questions about everything from preventing fires in their chimneys to getting rid of tree roots invading their sewer systems. His goal is to provide answers that suit the specific lifestyle wherever someone lives in Arizona. Here are questions about home maintenance and improvement from the Southern Arizona area.

Q: I have two 18-year-old air conditioning units on my home. Theyre both operating well, but Im getting ready to replace them because my summer AC bills are going through the roof. Can I do one AC at a time in order to spread out the cost to fit my budget?

A: Its possible to do that, provided that you replace the air handler unit as well as the condenser unit because they need to match up to operate properly. But once you have that new air conditioner youre going to be so excited next summer about how much smaller, quieter and more efficient your new equipment is that you will wish you had done both systems. By doing both HVAC sections at once, you also avoid some of the fuss and upheaval that take place during installation.

Q: The root ball of a pine tree in my yard is beginning to invade the water company meter box in front of my house. The water company says that I have to take care of this problem. Do I have to cut down the entire tree?

A: You dont have to remove the tree. An arborist can cut back the roots and then can install a barrier to stop the roots from invading that part of your yard again. Youll probably need a barrier that will go about 3 feet down into the ground. Workers can probably simply dig a trench and slide in the plastic root deflector to keep roots from heading toward the meter box.

Q: Id like to replace my older gas water heater with a new tankless model? Is that feasible to do?

A: Tankless water heaters keep growing in popularity and their performance has really improved over the years. At one time, you would get a flash of cold water, then a flash of hot, then a flash of cold again when they started up. You still have to run the water a little before hot water arrives at the point of demand. A tankless unit will have high-powered burners that can be fueled by gas or electricity. These units are usually considerably smaller than traditional water heaters and will take up less room in a garage or a closet.

But if you go tankless, you need to have a water softener installed as well if you dont already have one. Thats because our very hard Arizona water can damage tankless heaters. And tankless models are more expensive than traditional water heaters. The installation can also be more complicated in terms of gas and electric lines.

Q: Three months ago, we planted a young red push pistache tree in our yard. It replaced a mesquite that was infested with mistletoe and was slowly dying. I used to water this new tree every day; now I water it every other day. But Id like some advice on how much watering I really have to do. It doesnt seem to have grown very much at this point.

A: You probably didnt need to do all that watering to begin with, and now that cooler weather is here and the tree will soon lose most of its leaves, you should only water it every seven to 10 days. When you do that, you want to give it 7-10 gallons at a time.

The New Year means new rules for some businesses in New York and you might be surprised to hear this rule wasn't already in place.

Starting this year, restaurants and commercial buildings will have to install and maintain carbon monoxide detectors. The law was prompted in part by an incident inside a Long Island restaurant last year where one person was killed and dozens more were hospitalized from CO poisoning.

Carbon monoxide leaks are a public safety concern; it's called the silent killer. You're required to have a CO detector in your home, but until now restaurants and bars were not required to have them.

Gates Fire Captain Gary Finlayson says, "It is a deadly gas, odorless and basically non-detectable without a CO detector."

Jines on Park Avenue has been serving up meals for decades and a few years ago owner Pete Gines put in a CO detector. Not because he had to, but because he felt it was the right thing to do.

"It's a safety issue," says Gines. "Anytime there is a safety issue, we want to be able to protect the customers and staff members. Staff members are here for 6, 8, 10 hours a day. They are here for a prolonged period time and the customers are in for an hour, hour and a half."

Captain Finlayson says prolonged exposure to CO can cause headache, dizziness, and -- if exposed long enough -- loss of consciousness and even death. That's why they keep monitors on the trucks. Hundreds die each year from carbon monoxide poisoning. Last year, a manager died of carbon monoxide poisoning and two dozen other people were treated at the hospital following a leak at a seafood restaurant on Long Island. Investigators found a leak in the hot water heater.

"It is very important to be cautious and those establishments should probably have them," says Captain Finlayson. "They are using much larger appliances whether it is heating systems or cooking equipment. They are putting out larger volumes and heating bigger areas. They could have malfunctions."

Gines says they always keep a close eye on the equipment in the restaurant. He is glad the state now requires bars and restaurants to put the safety of the customers and employees first.
