  • Kitchen Cleaning Expert Reveals Secrets to Eliminating Food Odors
    Ryan explains that butter dissolves garlic's sulfur compounds, making them easier to wash away. Charcoal filters trap odor molecules, reducing smells from fish and onions. Persistent sink odors often stem from hidden gunk; boiling water, baking soda, and vinegar can eliminate them. Simmering white vinegar neutralizes odors, and adding citrus peels or herbs enhances the scent.
  • Eco-Friendly Window Cleaning: Rubbing Alcohol's Secret Power
    Ryan suggests adding 10% rubbing alcohol to your glass cleaner for faster drying and streak-free windows. Mix 1 part alcohol with 9 parts cleaner, spray, and wipe with a cloth. Ryan warns, “Don’t use too much alcohol, or it might dry things out.” Test on tinted windows first. This eco-friendly tip also kills germs, making it a win-win for your home.
  • Expert Tips for Cleaning Pet Bowls Safely and Effectively
    Ryan advises that dishwasher-safe pet bowls can be cleaned using the sanitize cycle, but handwashing with dish soap is also effective. Avoid dishwashing painted, plastic, or low-quality metal bowls. Clean pet bowls daily to prevent bacteria buildup. For handwashing, use hot water and dish soap with a dedicated sponge. Ryan emphasizes the importance of daily cleaning for both food and water bowls.

  • Ryan is not only a small business coach but also runs a home cleaning business in Arizona, cleaning over 600 homes a month called Tidy Casa. Because of Tidy Casa's success, Ryan has learned a phenomenal amount about house cleaning, maintenance, and what it takes to run a modern small business.

    Some of Ryan's recent quotes include:
    - In Best Life: "According to Ryan Knoll, founder of home services company Tidy Casa, soy sauce is one of the most common things he sees people keep in the fridge that they shouldn't. "It says right on the label that it shouldn't be refrigerated," he points out. Food Network notes that most hot sauce is also fine out of the fridge, since its high vinegar content wards off bacteria."
    - In Home and Gardens: "'Magic Erasers are made of melamine foam, which essentially acts like a very light sandpaper. This is what helps them take up those super tough stains on anything from white sneakers and cell phone screens to keyboards and clothing stains,' says Ryan Knoll, founder and CEO of Arizona-based home cleaning business, Tidy Casa. 'They’re so easy to use, too; dampen slightly, use small circular motions until the stain fades, then wash the surface clean to remove any residue. Be sure to test it somewhere inconspicuous first, to ensure it isn’t damaging the surface,' Ryan says."
    - In Home and Gardens: "When we have guests over, cleaning is the last thing we want to do, but the general consensus among cleaning experts is that you've got to act fast if you want to get rid of the stain effectively. The longer you wait to treat a wine stain, the harder it will be to remove. Ryan Knoll says the biggest wine stain removal mistake he sees is people not moving quickly enough. 'Once the stain sets, it can be 10 times harder to remove,' he comments."
