Sheila Shine:

This is a commercial cleaning product available at janitorial supply stores everywhere. Use this on any stainless steel sink for an amazing polish and shine. It is an oil based liquid that works best on stainless steel sinks. It makes them shine and look great. It also removes greasy film and water marks and resists fingerprints and streaking.

It preserves the surface against deterioration with a protective coating that repels water and harmful liquids to retain a gloss over a long period of time. Many homes and offices have stainless steel sinks in them. There is simply no other product that compares to the outstanding results you will get from using this Sheila Shine on stainless steel. It is a commercial cleaning product and it will give you very professional looking results.

The results are impressive and everyone likes it. You only need to use a very small amount of it in a spray bottle with a rag. Spread it out and wipe it all over the sink. It will last you a long time and it is well worth it because the results from this product are really outstanding. Read and follow directions on the container before using.

Coraleen:

This is also a commercial cleaning product that is available at janitorial supply stores. Add a small amount of this to your mop water. Coraleen is a general purpose neutral cleaner. It has been formulated as a neutral, general purpose liquid cleaner for use on any floor.

You just add a small amount of it to mop water and then mop the floor. It is mild and it is a neutral liquid floor cleaner, meaning that it is neither acidic or alkaline.

It will not harm the floor in any way. It will not remove wax. It can be used on asphatt tile floors, vinyl tile floors, linoleum, terrazzo and quarry tile or ceramic tile floors. Whenever you mop a floor of any kind, use a small amount of Coraleen in with the mop water.

It is safe and effective to be using. Coraleen is also a biodegradable product and it works great. It comes in a one gallon container and it will last you a long time because you only need to use a small amount of it with mop water. Read and follow directions on the container before using it.

Speedball:

This commercial product is fantastic. It can be used as a super powerful all purpose cleaner for hard to get dirt and spots on surfaces such as countertops , cabinets or doors. It is a power cleaner in every sense of the word, for any spray and wipe job.

It is similar to an all purpose cleaner only much, much stronger. It removes grease, ink marks, pencil, lipstick, black heel marks, smoke film and food stains. It is for most any washable surface.

It is not for use on any water based paint, aluminum or glass. I have used it before on walls to get off difficult marks but if you continue to use it in the same painted area it will begin to remove the paint eventually. It is a very strong and very powerful cleaner. It works great and will really speed up tough jobs.

If your regular all purpose cleaner does not seem to be strong enough, try using Speedball to get faster results. As you will only use a small amount of it now and then, it will last you a long time and it is well worth it. Read and follow the directions on container before using it.

Griddle Screens:

This product has different uses, however I have mainly used it for one task. You can use it like sand paper on porcelain sinks and also on porcelain toilet bowls because it will not scratch the porcelain. Also it works great for getting stubborn ring stains off the inside of the toilet bowl.

Don't use it on a toilet seat or it will scratch it because the seat is not made of porcelain. A griddle screen is perfect for getting tough stains off porcelain. It is readily available at your local janitorial supply store. It is a thin brown colored square shaped material about 4 inches by 5 inches in size.This unique material has aluminum oxide imbedded into a fiberglass resin. It really works great on porcelain and will not scratch it at all. Try using it along with a little bit of Ajax or Comet and you will really speed up your work with impressive results.

Scotch-Brite Scour Pad:

This little versatile scrub pad is a cleaning persons best friend. It is available at janitorial supply stores but can usually be found in local stores also. It is a general purpose commercial scour pad which is made of a synthetic fiber and is usually the color of green or blue.

These pads are fantastic for adding a little abrasiveness to whatever dirt, stain or debris you are trying to wipe off. It is ideal for cleaning hard to get marks off of desks, counters, stairways, walls, railings and floors. Don't go cleaning without it. I have used it many times along with some all purpose cleaner and a rag, to get marks off veryquickly and easily. It will rarely scratch anything, yet it works like a charm.

LIME-A-WAY:

This is a great product to have with you on any type of cleaning job. I have mainly used it for the cleaning of tough water stains that typically build up around the drain area in sinks and then scrubbed the area with a Scotch-Brite scour pad.

LIME-A-WAY effectively dissolves rust stains, and calcium deposits. It works great on sink drains, tubs and behind and around faucets to remove water stains and calcium deposits. It is a thick liquid so you can dilute it with about 50% water and then pour it into a small spray bottle.

This makes it last longer, it sprays better and still works great. Read and follow the directions on the container before using it.

Carpet Spots:

Carpet is everywhere and when there is an obvious spot on it you can usually remove it in the following manner and be a hero. Forget all the store bought sprays, foams and powders. Regular store bought rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle will work great on a carpet spot with a small brush better and faster then anything else.

Simply pour regular rubbing alcohol ( usually 70% or 80% alcohol ) into a small size spray bottle. Spray onto carpet spots. Now use a small brush on the spot for about 30 seconds and then wipe the area with a white dry rag. The alcohol by itself is a natural cleaning agent and it evaporates very quickly which will not leave an obvious wet area when you are finished removing the spot.

Professional carpet cleaners know about this little trick. Now you do too.
