How to Clean Up After Ida: A Guide for the Flooded - THE CITY

Image
Between the remnants of Hurricanes Ida and Henri, New Yorkers have been walloped by water this summer, with some finding their homes flooded for the first time. Basement apartments were especially hard-hit by Ida, with most of the city's deaths coming in below-grade homes. Meanwhile, some neighborhoods far from areas that typically see coastal or storm surge flooding were swamped. If you're facing down a water-logged home, here is some information and resources to help you start picking up the pieces. How do I start cleaning up, and when? First thing: Be very cautious about going back into your home after a flood. Water can weaken a building's structure, standing water may be electrified and there's a good chance stormwater contains sewage and hazardous chemicals. Always wear protective gear — including gloves, boots and a mask — when investigating a place that's been flooded, the Red Cross and city Department of Buildings recommend. Never wade into ...

How to Clean Bathroom Tile and Grout - The New York Times

Image
The best way to clean tile and grout in your home is going to vary. It will depend on everything from the kind of stain you're removing to the material your grout is made of. That makes it nearly impossible to find one cleaning solution that will work in all cases—without damaging your bathroom walls. But once you identify what you're dealing with, you can be more effective and targeted when cleaning. The first thing to remember is that, as with a lot of cleaning situations, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You're better off protecting your tile and grout than trying to rescue it. "The best way to clean heavily stained or aged grout is to maintain a cleaning schedule. Do not allow stains and soils to build up over time," said David Mowery, a business manager of Tile and Stone Installation Systems for the MAPEI Corporation, in an email. "The sooner you address grout stains, the better." Adblock test (Why?)
