Household Hints & Help

These compounds break up grease and oil. That's why they clean our dishes and pots and pans so well. Emulsifiers are also used to help break up oil spills at sea and on land.

The tub in our New York City apartment is quite old and had a dull, dingy finish. Replacing it was not an option. I found a product called Tough As Tile made by Homax. It comes in a variety of colors and the high gloss white that I used looks spectacular. It requires two coats and takes two full days to cure. One must follow the directions absolutely carefully but the results were worth the effort. I cannot recommend this product highly enough!
