TallTayl Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Every time I need a deep down clean I feel amazed at what a great product Simple Green is. Dilute about 1/4 cup in a liter spray bottle, mist the floor. Then I gram the Hoover floor cleaner, dump on some hot water and the soap oil, candle waxes and grime are completely stripped away. Soaping towels which are always oily go into the washer with 1/4-1 cup (depending on the oiliness) and come out pretty darned clean. Tried pretreating the ground in dirt on my carpeted steps and they look practically new. If you’ve never tried it you’re missing out. For realz. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbaranj Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I agree! Simple Green has been my go to all purpose cleaner for years. Nice that it is non- toxic and biodegradable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightLight Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Love the green stuff! Also limolene for super greasy stuff and citric acid in dishwasher to break down wax and oils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonshine Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 It’s been my go to cleaner for years - I LOVE it actually tried it rather than denatured alcohol for cleaning my oak cabinets that I’m in the process of refinishing and it worked like a charm and no headache unlike the alcohol crap! I have never diluted mine though- use it straight from the bottle - am I supposed to 🙊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the spray pump version is prediluted, but the gallon is just concentrate. Those cabinets must be super clean now! https://simplegreen.com/ has some cleaning dilution rates.

Forrest Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Will it clean the wax off my countertops, cabinets and floor? I haven't gotten any on the ceiling yet, but I'm sure I will eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not yet tried with paraffin, though I don’t see why it would fail 🤷🏻♀️ As for the ceiling, well after a mishap with an old Makita drillwith a horribly placed locking mechanism and a big paint paddle, I have managed to fling oils to the ceiling. Raining soap oil is no fun. SG cleaned it all up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YellowButterfly Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I love SG! I use it to clean my deck, my bathroom, my kitchen, everything! I have a dog with allergies, so it works best for me. And I'm not breathing in all of those harsh chemicals. Speaking of, I need to go to Lowe's to buy another gallon... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 It works great on my rugs too. Freshened my house with the steam cleaner. Yippee! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got SG on my next shopping list! There is a scent, but it does not knock me over like the fumes from LA Awesome and many others. Take a look at their website for the hundreds of uses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisymay66 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The Awesome literally hurts my lungs even holding a towel over so I don’t breathe it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
