How to Clean Any Cast Iron Tub - Non-Slip Texture (Must Watch) So Easy
In this video I show the best way to clean any Cast Iron Tub. Especially tubs that have a non-slip texture or a anti-slip texture. When I remodeled my shower, nothing was easy. I had to work around baseboard steam heaters and I knew I wanted solid full slab walls. So, when I was finished, I wanted to find the best way to keep this tub looking new for decades. Then I came across this Kohler cast iron cleaner. What a game changer. This stuff is safe on all cast iron tubs, and is amazing how it dissolves soap scum and stains. It's a must have if you own a cast iron tub or sink. Pick up a couple bottles for sure. You will thank me later. And if you haven't used a Magic Eraser yet, It's time to get in the game. These things are a must have. I always have a box on hand.
Thanks for watching. More on the way.

My GREEN 1959 Cast Iron enameled Tub has tons of Soap Scum! NO textured bottom. Want to MAINTAIN the Green Enameled Porcelain shine. Will Mr Clean sponge RUIN my enameled shine? (Internet says Mr Clean Sponge is ABRASIVE. ) I bought Kohler Cleaner to try.
My question is how to remove one from granite countertop when sealed
Great video & comments! Thank you!
Is That a spacer you got on there?
Hallelujah! My Tea-for-Two has been saved!! I thought I was going have to look at the river of rust that coursed the entire length of the tub from the faucet to the drain for the rest of my days. Pardon the imagery, but it looked like a crime scene. There are at least a couple long stories around this as to how it go that way, such as, why it happened and why I couldn't get to it for over a year, etc. Before all that happened I thought I would never get the anti-slip to look new ever again until saw this video. Holy moly! It looks better than it did before my plumbing puked rust! Thank you so much for this. When I buy the Kohler cast iron cleaner (I have second Tea-for-Two and two Kohler toilets) I'll be sure to click through here. BTW- Loved your intro. And, your music is great. I was a figure skater and took notice that in this video there are several excellent choreographic moments - tub-cleaning to music or vice versa? Thank you!
How did it go
Thanks for the enthusiasm. Much appreciated. You also noticed I do all my video cuts to the beat of the song. You're the first one to notice. Been a drummer since I was 13. How did it come out? Please share and thanks for watching.
I've yet to find anything that toilet bowl clean with bleach and / or Barkeeper's Friend won't clean / brighten up pretty easily. I've never seen this Kohler stuff before so it must be something you gotta order somewhere.
Thanks for watching. I have an amazon link in the description. This Kohler cleaner is a game changer. Let me know if it does any better or worse. Open for discussion.
A small bead of silicone is fine to hold the sink but don't let it ooze out to use as the caulk. Silicone doesn't clean up well when dirty and and thin edge from working it will peel up after time if scrubbing. It may look pretty at first but it won't take long to look grungy. And the clear yellows.
Wonderful job❤
I have lots of tea stains on my white quartz countertops that nothing could remove them. 😢
All stone joints need to be scored on both sides giving the glue something to grab onto. If you don’t it can fall apart especially quartz which is non porous material. I’d wear some steel toed boots if I was carrying that around
This is a radiator cover?! That's wild! Great work
Thanks. Much appreciated.
Nice, quick and smooth. Without 3 hours explanation how to stand, move and how guy is smart.
you're going to end up with copd if you don't do something about that stone dust.
That was great!!
Hey, this was pretty informative. I feel like I could do it myself now! well done.
What is that machine doing at 2:56? What is it?
Very nice!
Thank You. Much appreciated.
I ordered some immediately! I CANNOT WAIT 😮!! I absolutely hate the bottom of my tub. No matter what I use, it never looks clean. I’m so glad I found this video 💞 Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. Let me know how it works. I haven't got any negative feedback yet. Seams to be working for a lot of people.
These videos are super useful, thank you so much for sharing! Bought a used kitchen recently that came with some beautiful slabs of granite and I've been procrastinating on the sink cutout, but now I have at least some idea of what to do. Gotta practice on the scraps first but watching you has been a big help, I really appreciate it.
Thank you for watching. Let me know how it goes. And feel free to contact me with any other questions.
Can't see what he is doing. He should have explained it while doing it.
That's one pretty tub! Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for watching. Much Appreciated.
AMAZING!!! CAN"T WAIT TO TRY THIS!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Let me know how its works for you
It appears that this dishwasher could have been "Side Mounted" which would have been infinitely easier for about .25 cents in wood screws. The bracket you used is a last resort bracket. Just sayin.
Can you do this with the counter already installed?
With this system, you can. If the inside of your cabinet is larger than the overall size of your sink. That is the best part of this option. But if that doesn't work, I have 3 other mounting options that you can find on my UA-cam home page. One of those ways might help out too.
@@GraniteByJay thank you!
So are you drilling into the granite on the last part or into dishwasher.
In to the bracket!
How to keep the magic eraser from crumbling??? Any ideas
Hello. That's the design of the magic eraser. It's the same as an eraser on a pencil. It needs to crumble in order to erase. If that makes sense.
Great instructions, but quite a lot off-center. Any ide how to prevent that?
You should apply silicone or rubberized adhesive caulk to the 3 raised surfaces on the bracket. Thisbprovides shock absortion to withstand the daily use ofnthe dishwasher door. Press bracket up against the counter top, the bracket design will conceal any caulk squeeze out. Tks for the video
Is this video about teaching how to dance?
Let me know if it does. Might be another venture.
are the short screws going into the granite? Or are there tabs on the dishwasher that mate with the bracket with the screws?
Hello. The small screws connect the dishwasher tabs to the dishwasher mount bracket. They do not mount into the stone.
@@GraniteByJayexactly, but you didn't show the tabs or put them on
I have used Kohler Villager tubs since about 1990. I have recommended them to my clients. The one thing I hated…the no slip surface always looking nasty even though I aggressively cleaned them. My tub looks like it did out of the crate 17 years ago. THANKS!!!
Love It. Thank You. Glad It helped.
is that stone slab 3cm?
Yes
How do you clean off the dag on the internal after it's cured? Someone said use a heavy duty scraper. I laughed at him, yeah right. Scraping metal on quartz is not ideal.
Never, never add music to any DIY or demo! The video was great but the music hurt my ears and drowned out all natural sounds which I need to hear to learn. Never add music to any DIY, demo, tour, cooking, or animal video. Silence is golden. Natural sounds only please. This leathering on granite with silicon carbide brushes is what I do to my wood slabs to antique them. A truly beautiful finish!
My son bought a used piece of granite . He resanded the whole piece . Started at 50 to 10,000 . Now it’s really dull and he can’t get the shine back . What did he do wrong
I clicked off of the video immediately when you started playing the gay music.
Haha. Sorry about that. I would fire the sound guy, but it's me.
I’ve never understood why people post videos and insist on adding music, most of the time it’s gay music
@@johnjunde1907because that way others know who the bigots are.
What did you use to sand it down with?
insufficient info, what about the rest of the installation??
I just went to install a bracket of my own after the "installer" siliconed a bracket to the granite. The bracket is about 2/10 of inch to wide 😢
LOL that intro!!!!
Thanks. It's may dad joke personality. It really annoys the wife and kids.
Fast-motion, terrible music, captions that go by too fast, and no explanation of the technique. Your video should go in the garbage with your first marble slab.
Didn't even see the end result???
Why wouldn't you cut the straight edges to the beginning of the radius on the bridge saw when your cutting the job?
Then it wouldn't be "cutting by hand". But great point. That's what we do 90% of the time.
@@GraniteByJay Ahh touche! Love to watch a weekend warrior have a crack at home after viewing this video. Shit would be chipped, out of square, corner radiuses would be a debacle......and snap! The benchtop folds in half as they pick it up flat off the workstation 🤣 done many an undermount in my time, in just as many variations of stones and colours. This takes me back to the days of yesteryear, balls to the wall with nothing but hand tool, and a bag full of tricks that you've self discovered or been shown by someone else as idiotic as yourself to be in the trade lol. Most kids a few years into the caper these days wouldn't know where to start now. Different time and era, margins don't really allow the luxury of yesteryear. Two Farnese Alexia CNC's run all day and into the evening here now. I remember the time when I'd shape lambs tongue edges with a 6inch, then shape a 60grit carbide wheel and so forth....time for this old man to have a lay down 🤣
@@yeahnah7220 O ya. A fellow friend that came from one tool and hard work, to now having CAD driven saws and a warm coffee in hand. I still love going back to hand work sometimes. I never want to lose those skills. And it makes you appreciate what you have now. I wish you the best. Cheers.
My seam on my granite countertop deteriorated in the past decade and water seeps into the drawer below it. Do they sell any smaller kits for this type of repair? It's a cream/white color counter. So all I really need is the epoxy and color mix?
Not sure where you are located, but best option is to find your local granite fabricator. Bring a picture of your granite. And just ask for a small amount mixed up for that color. Hardener on the side. We hook people up all the time, and it better than spending over $100 for all the pieces parts you need. Just don't use silicone or chalking to fill the seam. Only reason is because if you ever want it done with epoxy down the road, Its almost impossible to clean it out good enough to get the epoxy to adhere. Hope this help. Thanks for reaching out.
I placed round wood on my quartz counter and water underneath the wood caused some stain.. I tried to remove with baking soda and it didn’t work .. this satin is making me crazy.. does this hack help? Actually it is not even stain but some discoloration
This method will help. If It's engineered quartz. Start light and work your way up. Try just water and some soft scrub first. For tough sharpie stains I use acetone and then soft scrub with a magic eraser. Let me know how it goes.
