Magnets don’t stick to mine, just every single time you touch it it leaves a print. Finger print? No. Just any oil from your skin! Burns my butt to have to polish my fridge!
Oil on your quartz or the stainless?I use a paper towel and a tiny amount of cooking oil once a week. Some stainless is better than others but i agree smudge free is BS
Thank you for that I've book marked it and I'll print it off when I can. I have a candy thermometer and I think all of the other ingredients as well. They'll ship much better at this time of year than chocolate or our Jello gummies.
Cars, bikes, equipment all metallic grey. Any new appliances black if possible. Stainless if we don’t have a better option...white blows.I mean you kind of have to be ocd to have white everything. I hate white. We had white appliances when we moved in and they were the first thing to go... Black all day, stainless is also a pain, but most new shit is stainless... our dishwasher is and I'm sure when we upgrade the fridge again it will have to be too. My hardwood in the kitchen is midrange color wise... I could let it collect dirt for 2 months and you would hardly be able to tell lol. I also hate white vehicles, mostly because I think they're ugly, but also because they get dirty instantly.
Also any stone should have a sealer applied once a year…. I can tell you im probably the only person who actually bothers…. All the tiles i strip and reseal and any stones… be it floors, walls, counters. It makes a world of differenceI have a cleaning business and I can confirm that most things that are the prettiest are the biggest pain in the ass to clean lol. All the quartz and marble countertop that you're not really supposed to use most products on because it ruins the seal... scalding water a bit of dawn and some elbow grease is what I use, then wipe dry and polish with a dry tea towel. I have one lady that has black, and one that has white... both horrible choices for cleaning because every streak is visible. I have one person that has stone tile in the kitchen... it's white and has divets that hold the dirt, so you literally have to scrub it with a brush or it still looks dirty... I've contemplated dropping that client over that floor lol. Everyone has "stainless" steel, which is a horrible name because it gets dirty AND stained super easy it seems. I use the stainless steel wipes, and again polish with a clean cotton towel. I have one client with an entirely white kitchen, white quartz, white floor, white cabinets, white sink, white walls... why would you do that to yourself? Oh yeah, cause you're gonna pay someone to clean it anyway... I should start saving for a shoulder replacement now.![]()

Use epoxy grout next time…. Its the cats meowI’m one of those crazies with white tile too. I hate that crap! As you said, the grouting is a pain in the ass. I went with the white as the darker, just looked dirty. Was told oh if you seal that there won’t be a problem..another bunch of BS.
I just want to fry a damn chicken and not need the merry maids to clean up my wreckage!Also any stone should have a sealer applied once a year….

Try a tile stripper then reseal… depending on how bad they are it will likely be easier but still lots of workI looked at some dirt colored stone tile, should have gone with it! I’m using the bleach water anyway…
Yup, same stuff I use. The spray on for the stove fridge and dishwasher, and the pump spray for the countertops. It’s good stuff.5

These are what I use. Needs to be clean first, the wipe on with the grain and polish off with a clean dry cotton cloth... shit practically looks like a mirror. I do it in sections because if it dries completely it's harder to polish to perfection. It does seem to ward off prints a bit better than just bare stainless too.
Shhhhhh, don’t tell the Hubby, but I plan to try a whole new floor!Try a tile stripper then reseal… depending on how bad they are it will likely be easier but still lots of work
Thats why i 6 cooking oil lol…. The frustration is real but once you apply cooking oil i dont get the finger printsMagnets don’t stick to mine, just every single time you touch it it leaves a print. Finger print? No. Just any oil from your skin! Burns my butt to have to polish my fridge!
Stainless…. Stripper and sealer on stone or ceramicOil on your quartz or the stainless?
I was using the spray till I found the wipes, I find them way easier, puts on a nice even layer where they spray runs and can make marks if you're not fast enough. I usually do the wax on wax off method lol.Yup, same stuff I use. The spray on for the stove fridge and dishwasher, and the pump spray for the countertops. It’s good stuff.

On my Mean Streak 1500cc I used Vim on my SS Muzzys exhausts. But road crap is a little harder to get off than most kitchen stuff.Yup, same stuff I use. The spray on for the stove fridge and dishwasher, and the pump spray for the countertops. It’s good stuff.
I haven’t been able to find the wipe’s lately, you are right about that. Another crazy thing I’m having a hard time finding is pledge.I was using the spray till I found the wipes, I find them way easier, puts on a nice even layer where they spray runs and can make marks if you're not fast enough.

Honestly once you try you won’t bother cleaning stainless with anything else
That would require me to know how to make hard candy, I have a quart of infused Coconut oil. I plan on melting 1/2 cup add 1/2 cup chocolate chips and a scoop of peanut butter to the oil. pour into molds, let harden, package and ship....
what recipe do you use for hard candy?
Dosen't stick to or fridge, he tapes to our wall.Black appliances for the win.
Ever wonder how a magnet sticks to a SS fridge?
SS is supposed to be non ferrous, but they change the % of different metals and still call it SS.
My buddy bought SS stuff and had a fit.
Being copper guys we know magnets should not stick to SS.

You drawing skills are improving sir. Lol sorry could resist. If there is one thing that can make anyone smile it’s children’s drawings…. Don’t know why but just does
Magnets don't stick to the SS part of mine. They do stick to the side, though.Black appliances for the win.

Imma take your word for this! No way imma stick a bud to the fridge, I justttttttt polished that hunk of metal! LolMagnets don't stick to the SS part of mine. They do stick to the side, though.
BTW, a bud of The Convergence will stick to the refrigerator. And most things it comes in contact with.

I've noticed people starting to wise up to having SS appliances. They're nice and give a pro look to the kitchen but suck when it comes time to clean.Imma take your word for this! No way imma stick a bud to the fridge, I justttttttt polished that hunk of metal! Lol

I got rid of the white kitchen, how I ended up with this SS. Getting wise to it is a good choice of words. I’ve spent more time cleaning this stuff than anything I have ever had. Yeah, it’s pretty, but in my house I need practical. I actually cook in the kitchen, a lot!I've noticed people starting to wise up to having SS appliances.

I've done a lot of all white kitchens lately for friends and clients including appliances.
If it were not for all of you, then I would have no need to be here. So, I attribute this to all of youI think it's more a testament to you than anything else..........
Exactly! I've done rehabs in high dollar houses and half the time the commercial SS ovens don't ever get turned on. It's all for looks.I got rid of the white kitchen, how I ended up with this SS.

One of the things that causes me great laughter is how much emphasis is now being put on bathrooms!Exactly! I've done rehabs in high dollar houses and half the time the commercial SS ovens don't ever get turned on. It's all for looks.
I did one Beverly Hills mansion where they had 2 kitchens. One for the cooking staff(They had a pro chef that would cook their meals) and another one just for show. Insanity in my book but if they got it I guess they want to flaunt it!!!
I did a bathroom just like you described at a latin pop stars home that lived in Thousand Oaks, California.One of the things that causes me great laughter is how much emphasis is now being put on bathrooms!
Yes the roof needs replaced, the rooms are small, not enough windows, but… did you see that on suite ???
That's almost as big as my whole house. Well...actually bigger if you include the walk in.I did a bathroom just like you described at a latin pop stars home that lived in Thousand Oaks, California.
We demoed it down to stud and ran all kinds of crazy plumbing and wiring with lots of LED this and that. Italian marble mosaic floors with a separate sauna room, huge slate shower with a gazillion water nozzles and a vintage extra large clawfoot bathtub. Bathroom footprint was 40' x 30' and led into a full his and hers walk in closet that we did in all mahogany and teak.
Yes I looked at that. I'll do that when I have time to read ...comprehend and follow the instructions. Chocolates are easy and I need to ship tomorrow. I need to make another batch of oil up, I have 32oz bottle of MCT oil that my wife likes better than coconut oil for taste in the gummies. At the same time I'm making that oil I'll try to make a batch of hard candy with coconut oil. Once I've done it the first time It'll be a whizz the second, I just need to go through the process once to get it....Don't get me wrong I love some peanut butter, ever try it on pancakes? Peanut butter then syrup ... It'll stick to you if doesn't bubble you up lol
But the candy will def ship easier without any worries. I use coconut oil for the hard candies, I've found you can definitely increase the amount of oil some other recipes call for. Adding an emulsifier like sunflower lecithin does some magic for making that easier.

I run Bestva lighting. They're good lights but I would suggest you go with a bar setup. I have yet to see a COB style light able to cover that much area effectively. I have the 2000 and their older Blurple and, even then, they don't cover the entire 5 x 5.Happy Father’s Day to All
And Happy Father’s Day to ME!
My wonderful wife got me this View attachment 8463
I have a 5x5 tent in need of a light, manual says it’ll cover 6x5 at 20” for flowering stage. What do y’all think?? If it’s not big enough she said we can return it and get a different one![]()
The house required a fire sprinkler system. That is only required when the house is so large that it falls into commercial regs.That's almost as big as my whole house. Well...actually bigger if you include the walk in.
