Three of my favorite cleaning devices

I have been working with one of the best cleaning devices other than the Wonder Glove, which is one of the best cleaning products available for stains on carpet, upholstery, interior and exterior of cars, and is the only product of it's type that absorbs and agitates, saving time and effort.

I have discovered another amazing product; a hand held steam cleaner. Shortly after using it I became very impressed with it's cleaning abilities. The one I use is a Eureka Big Shot. It sells for around $70 or so. With only 12oz of tap water, this steam cleaner will clean anything. The steam cleaner produces steam at a temperature of 212 degrees. Because of this temperature it is able to kill all microorganisms that the steam comes in contact with. So you're using only water to clean and disinfect whatever it is you're working on. When I first got my steam cleaner I started out in the bathroom. It worked great on my tubs, sinks, and toilets. The steam is able to clean and disinfect the smallest of areas, such as toilet hinges and screw holes where cleaning can be a burden. The steam cleaner also does wonders on mirrors and glass. The steam is able to penetrate the pores of the surface, allowing it to clean much better than other methods. The steam cleaner is also great for cleaning blinds, windows, and curtains. When cleaning my blinds, I didn't even have to take them down. The steam also dries very fast so there is no worry about too much moisture dripping or sitting around the item you are cleaning. And for those of us who aren't very good with an iron, the steam cleaner can get out wrinkles in shirts and pants without having to take them off the hanger. If you lived in a small apartment, a steam cleaner and water are the only cleaning products you would ever need to keep your apartment looking great.

Another good cleaning product is the Magic Eraser. The Magic Eraser is a melamine foam that has been used for over 20 years as insulation for pipes and ductwork, and has a long history as a soundproofing material for studios, sound stages, auditoriums, and the like. In the early 21st century it was discovered that melamine foam was an effective abrasive cleaner. The open cell foam is microporous and its polymeric substance is very hard, so that when used for cleaning it works like extremely fine sandpaper, getting into tiny grooves and pits in the object being cleaned. I was surprised when I first started using this product at how well it did on walls. The first time I used this product within my company, the walls looked almost freshly painted. This product can remove marker, crayon, grease, and just about anything else from painted walls, wood finishing, plastic tables, and many other surfaces. And if a little water is added to the Magic Eraser, it can remove some of the most uncleanable stains and marks. And always remember when cleaning walls to start at the bottom and work your way up!

Elbow Grease

A few days ago, I received a call from one of my employees. She was trying to get a spot out of the carpet on a job site. It was a new contract for my company, and she was really trying to get things looking good and in shape.I told her to get a Wonder Glove and Safe2Scrub cleaner, and to use some elbow grease. A few minutes went by, and my phone rang again. When I answered, it was the same employee telling me she couldn't find the elbow grease! After I stoped laughing, I told her what I meant by "elbow grease".The Wikipedia defines elbow grease as an idiom for working hard at manual labour, as in "You need to use some elbow grease". It is a humorous reflection of the fact that some tasks can only be achieved by hard effort and human energy, contrasting with the idea that there should be some special oil, tool or chemical product to make the job easier.The Wonder Glove saves you on elbow grease, as most good cleaning products do. They say your cleaning products should do most of the work, but some tough cleaning tasks do take a bit of "elbow grease"!

Cleaning a crime scene

The day I did a crime scene clean-up, I was working for the Greenwood Police Department doing the general cleaning of their building. It was a nice, hot, sunny day, and I was sitting by the pool enjoying it. Around 11 am the phone rang, and the caller ID said it was the police department. My first thought was, "Oh no, what are they going to complain about!". It was the Chief, and he asked if I had ever done a crime scene clean-up. I told him I hadn't but was interested.

He had a friend that was a police officer with Indianapolis Police Department, and his father had committed suicide in his home. The man shot himself in the head, so there was quite a mess to clean up. He asked me how soon I could be there so his friend didn't have to come home to all that horror and blood.

I said I could be there within the hour. So I jumped in the shower, got my bio hazard kit together, called a guy that worked for me to help, and we got there about 11:30 am. We parked in front of the house and there was a hearse in the driveway. They removed the body and gave us the go ahead to start the clean-up.

As I walked into the house, I noticed the ceramic floor tile the man had just installed for his son. It looked great. I thought to myself, alot of love and hard work had gone into that job.

I started on the floor. There was a large pool of blood that looked as if it had already coagulated. I took a large piece of plastic backed paper and soaked up the blood. I then sprayed the area with a germicidal cleaner, got out the Wonder Glove, and cleaned the table where he had been sitting. I noticed a receipt from Lowes where he had bought supplies for the tile job he had just finished.

The rest of the room wasn't that bad. The Wonder Glove did a great job on the table, walls, and chairs. This man had finished the tile job, and I guess he was just finished too. How could such a terrible thing happen on what started out to be a nice, hot, sunny day?

The many benefits of vinegar

John 19:29

A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips.

Vinegar has been around forever, and like hydrogen peroxide, has many uses. Vinegar is an acid liquid. It is used in many foods, and has many medical uses.

As a professional in the cleaning industry, I use hydrogen peroxide for most tasks, I use vinegar mostly on wood, and on floors. I don't much care for the smell of vinegar! Kinda smells like dirty feet! But, it does have alot of cleaning benefits. We had a problem a while back with stains on a carpet that just kept coming back. I talked with the carpet manufacturer, and he told me to use 50% vinegar and 50% water on them. I was amazed! The carpet looked brand new!

Vinegar will also get rid of calcium deposits around sink fixtures. It truly is a wonderful environmentally friendly household product.

Hydrogen Peroxide-The Greatest Cleaning Agent Ever

I, much like the rest of the world, suffer from the occasional family member randomly stopping by to socialize for a bit. The past weekend it happened to be my cousin along with his pontoon boat, but socializing was not the reason. He informed me that he had a little bit of a problem with his boat. It had apparently gotten a bit dirty and knowing I'm in the business of cleaning, he wanted a little bit of advice. So I took a look at the boat and to say a bit dirty would be an extreme understatement. It was covered in what appeared to be black mold. I knew after seeing a mess such as this that there was only one cleaning agent strong enough to handle it-Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) Yes my friends the same thing mommy would put on our cuts and scraps when we were younger. The dirty little secret about hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is that it happens to be one of the most powerful oxidizers known to man. An added benefit of it is that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a naturally formed product caused by the action of sunlight on water. This natural product has many uses other than to disinfect our kids cuts and scraps. One of the best uses of it is for cleaning. Hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria, viruses, and to my cousins surprise even fungi. Substituting it with all those dangerous chemical cleaners not only keeps kids and pets safe when cleaning but as mentioned before it just so happens to work a whole lot better. One could even clean their windows by just adding about five drops of dish soap to hydrogen peroxide. Once you try it your be a believer. Not to mention hydrogen peroxide and dish soap happen to be much less expensive than your average window cleaner. In fact I informed my cousin to mix some dish soap with hydrogen peroxide, grab a wonder glove and scrub away at the boat. The next day he called to thank me because he has never seen his boat look so good since the day he bought it. Hydrogen Peroxide-you can't get a much more earth friendly product than that.
