Another trick for cleaning white porcelain sinks....use a little bit of Clorox toilet bowl cleaner. Brush it around and leave it for a few minutes....voila! White again!!

Never had problems with using 409 on my cabinets and will continue to do so.

>> ...clients would ask me to make sure all their upholstery was covered in a dark fabric, “so it wouldn’t show the dirt."

>> "This always puzzled me and made me grimace"


I wouldn't be bothered. I'm more disturbed by a professional's clueless reaction to practical concerns.


The client is not saying "I never clean." They are saying that dropped morsels, sauce spills and splatters, and other eating events, commonly happen. Stains occur despite prompt cleaning. Red hot sauce can spill and stain permanently before you know it's there. So a patterned or dark upholstery can hide stains before they become so numerous that it's time to reupholster.


Case in point: the wacky patterned carpeting favored in the past in hotels and casinos. Carpeting for sound calming, patterned to conceal stains and mars in the pile. These areas are cleaned daily in these establishments; using a forgiving color or pattern is common sense.
