Tang Drink QI have a hydrotherapy tub and I would like to find a way to clean out the jets. Can you suggest something that will work?-- John, VancouverA Buy four packages of Tang Orange Drink Mix (yes, the powdered juice). The citric acid will loosen hard water deposits and scale. To clean, fill the tub with warm water, making sure you're covering all the jets and aim them downward. Switch on the jets and let run for at least 10 minutes. Turn off and let sit for another 10 minutes then run again for 20 minutes. Empty the tub and repeat with clean clear water. The citrus Drink Mix also works to clean dishwashers as well.Q We have just tiled our entry way and made the mistake of leaving the grout on too long before wiping off. We have been scrubbing with a nylon brush but we are not having any success removing all the grout from the tile surface. Can you suggest something that might help?-- Treena, RichmondA If the scrub pad is not effective, there are specialty cleaners on the market such as a Grout Haze Remover or a Diluted Muriatic Acid that may help. As with all acids, follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Contact Ames Tile and Stone to suggest a product suitable for your tile; they distribute a variety of tiling products and they can be reached by calling 1-800-661-8453.Listen to Shell Busey every weekend on CKNW AM980: Saturdays 5 to 6 a.m. and Sundays 8:30 to 10 a.m.For more home-improvement information tips, sign up to receive Shell Busey's online HouseSmart newsletter at www.TheHouseSmart.com
