Q: Is it safe to pressure wash inside?

• <div><p>It&lsquo;s risky to pressure wash indoors, and we wouldn&rsquo;t recommend it, but following all safety guidelines can prevent the worst outcomes. Always make sure to use an electric-powered machine over one that&rsquo;s gas-powered, remove obstacles that could cause tripping or falling, and keep appliances like hair dryers and toothbrushes unplugged and out of the way to prevent electrical hazards. </p></div>

Q: How often should you deep clean your house?

• <div><p>Your schedule for deep cleaning will depend on how often you clean regularly and how dirty your home gets. If you clean weekly and keep things tidy, you may only need to deep clean once a year. But if you don&rsquo;t keep up with regular cleaning or have pets that drag in mud and shed all over the house, you might need deep cleaning two or three times a year.</p></div>

Q: Does hot water remove soap scum?

• <div><p>Yes, if you&rsquo;re strapped for supplies, boiling hot water can be a great alternative for getting rid of soap scum. However, as this method calls for a bit of soaking, it&rsquo;s best used <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-your-bathroom-sink.htm">when cleaning your bathroom sink</a> or bath basin (or on small objects you can submerge). All you have to do is plug your sink or bathtub drain and pour in enough boiling water to cover the soap scum. Allow it to soak for five minutes, drain, and follow up with an additional hot water rinse to remove any lingering residue.</p></div>

Q: How often should you replace your toilet brush?

• <div><p>These hardworking scrubbers should be replaced <b>every six months</b>. Most toilet brushes have nylon bristles, and over time, these bristles can bend, fray, or fall out, reducing the effectiveness of the brush. Silicone brushes hold their shape longer, but the softer bristles are less effective at removing residue and build-up. To clean your toilet brush after use, spray it with a disinfecting cleaner and let it air dry by closing the handle under the toilet seat and letting the brush head drip into the toilet bowl.</p></div>

Q: What is the quickest way to get rid of skunk smell?

• <div><p>The formula for neutralizing skunk smell is one quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, &frac14; cup baking soda, and one to two teaspoons of dish soap. The <a href="https://wildlife.unl.edu/pdfs/removing-skunk-odor.pdf">University of Nebraska</a> says a chemist discovered that this mixture changes the thiols, the chemical compound that causes the odor, into acids that don&rsquo;t carry a skunk smell, thus eliminating the odor. </p></div>

"We had a great experience with Shamrock. My husband is an architect and pretty much knew what needed to be done to remove a wood burning stove from our fireplace and restore it to a working fireplace before anyone arrived to give us a quote. We had several contractors come by and try to tack on extra unnecessary add ons using scare tactics. Gary from Shamrock came and not only was he honest about what needed to be done he also assessed that we needed some repair work done to our chimney which my husband already knew had to be done. We were very pleased with the removal of the wood burning stove , the chimney repair and his promptness and professionalism. Honesty goes a long way especially when you are unaware of what the clients knowledge of the situation is. I would highly recommend and ask for Gary. "
