Today we explore two different options: NuHeat and DITRA-HEAT

NuHeat can be used under tile, laminate, or engineered wood.

158: Cleaning with Alcohol...It Works Oct 26, 2015

Show notes

Cleaning is important.

Today we have two cleaning tips that use alcohol…and they work great.

The first tip is from Melissa Maker over at Clean My Space.

She shares her recipe: 1 part rubbing alcohol and 1 part distilled water.

Use this with an optical microfiber cloth and NOT paper towels.

My buddy Nick Conrad down in Alabama accidentally figured out that isopropyl alcohol cleans grease off hands.
