If you have every had a pet, you know that “accidents” can happen. Whether it’s your brand new carpet, or shiny hardwood floor, if you have a pet, eventually you will be cleaning up when they have left a little something behind. But the same floor you are cleaning is also the one they are commonly rolling around on, or worse, eating off of. So when cleaning up, you have to be careful to use a product that won’t make your pet sick!

Thankfully, CleaningProductsWorld.com sells a few products that are great floor and carpet cleaners but still safe for use around pets (and kids too!). One product we recommend is Simple Green- it can be used as a carpet stain remover, general carpet cleaner, and even a floor cleaner. It is completely non-toxic-just make sure to use the proper dilution.

Also, Spot Shot has a new formula that is non-toxic and biodegradable, yet still removes tough and old stains from carpets! Stock up on these products at CleaningProductsWorld.com and get Free Shipping on orders over $50!

Many of us are switching to front-loading washing machines. They take up less space & use less water, making them a big money saver. However, what many people don’t realize is that you need to use the specially formulated HE laundry detergent with your front-loader. Because they use less water, you don’t need as much soap and you also need a soap that is less concentrated. If you use regular laundry soap in your front loader, you will get a ton of suds, putting pressure on your washer and possible even damaging your clothes. Not to mention, it is just not necessary to use as much soap, so why waste it? Use the specially formulated HE laundry detergents (like this one pictured by Ajax) to make sure your washer is working efficiently.

Sheila Shine Polish

After a ton of use over the holidays, my candle sticks were looking very dirty so yesterday during my usual sunday cleaning spree, I broke out the Sheila Shine stainless steel polish and got to work. Wow does it work well! My candles look new! They are really shiny and it didn’t even take too much “elbow grease.” I really recommend this product if you have any metal that needs cleaning or polishing. Have you ever used it? Are there any other metal polishes on the market that work as well? You can buy this product and other stainless steel and metal polishes at CleaningProductsWorld.com!

We all know some intriguing and sometimes questionable cleaning myths – Did you hear the one about adding baking soda to tomato juice to clean red wine? While most of these cleaning myths and old maid tricks are plainly laughable like the later one above, some have profound basis and actually work.  For example, hair spray, due to its alcohol content, is capable of moving some types of stains.

Below our three of the most common cleaning myths debunked:

Myth #1) The more of a cleaning product you use, the more likely you are to remove the problem area
50/50 –If you are having trouble with a product treating a stain or something similar, the answer is not going to be to add more product. Most commonly, the cleaning product is not working because you are not using the right product, not using the right accessory, or simply not using enough elbow grease. I gave this myth a 50/50 because sometimes people over dilute their concentrated cleaners and forget to use the right proportion to treat larger problem areas; In both cases, it’s OK to add more product.  The basic principal to keep in mind is that more product DOES NOT equal more cleaning power.

Myth #2) You should never use your vacuum to clean anything besides your carpet.
FALSE – Vacuums these days are capable of serving as your best mate when cleaning.  Most have special settings to allow you to clean your hardwood floors and the extensions make cleaning fans, blinds, drapes, and furniture MUCH easier.

Myth #3) Always spray polish directly onto your wood furniture.
FALSE – You should NEVER apply furniture polish directly onto your furniture.  First, dust off the piece and then apply the furniture polish onto a microfiber cleaning cloth or other towel. This protects the furniture’s coat much more effectively, leaving it looking shiny for year to come.

What's inside some of our favorite cleaning products no longer the mystery it used to be

Looking for the ingredients in your cleaning products may now be much easier  thanks to the folks at SC Johnson & Co.  Nine months ago the company, who’s brand portfolio includes Nature’s Source, Windex, Scrubbing Bubbles, Drano, Fantastik, Glade, Pledge, Shout and many more, launched a website to host the ingredient list for all of its products. This type of website and this type of transparency is the first of its kind in an industry that has come under much flack recently for products containing potentially harmful chemicals.

To date, there are over 200 products listed on the site, WhatsInsideSCJohnson.com,  including 126 air care products and 76 home cleaning products manufactured by SC Johnson. Additionally, there are explanations of all 169 ingredients found in these products.  You can search for the product lists by name or by use, making finding which ever product you are looking for a breeze.

Kudos to SC Johnson for their innovative and groundbreaking efforts in encouraging product transparency and for letting the public know what you’re made of. We hope other major manufacturers will soon follow suite!

Since its launch in 1926, Camay Soap has gained a significant market share of the bar soap segment. However recently, Camay Soap Bars (in both pink and white) have become increasingly difficult to find in stores.  If you are one of the diehard Camay Soap users urgently looking for your beloved perfumed soap bars, look no further.

CleaningProductsWorld.com has a FULL supply of this beloved product that ships from 36 warehouses across the US daily. And with FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $50, if you order two cases, your entire order ships FREE

History of Camay
Camay Soap was launched in 1926 after a market research study conducted by Proctor & Gamble revealed there was a high market potential  for a “Perfumed Soaps”. Camay was soon launched to fill this void in the soap industry. As the first to market, Camay gained a vast following of loyal customers and the launch proved to be a  wise decision for P&G.  Today, the brand is still loved by many, but is stocked in fewer places.

If you work in the foodservice industry or have ever entertained guests you have probably wondered what the best Food Storage Containers are. We all want a good quality container that is space efficient, dishwasher safe, seals in the foods’ freshness, and is a reasonable price in case a relative or employee forgets to return it.

From our personal experience, we highly recommend Rubbermaid Food Storage Containers as the most practical, best quality, and most cost effective option.

For restaurants and caters, we recommend using the square version Rubbermaid containers due to their extremely efficient use of space – they store up to 25% more than round containers. (In homes we have found the tall height of these containers may not be the most practical; in which case we recommend the round Rubbermaid version).

Another reason we love these containers is their material – they are made of a clear, polycarbonate material. This makes these food storage containers break resistant AND allows you to see what’s inside.

Oh and did we mention the measurement graduation lines? In both English and Metric units? Yep, you’ll now exactly how much and what’s inside without ever opening the container.

So to recap – we recommend Rubbermaid square containers as the Best Food Storage Container. We hope this makes your holiday entertaining go a little easier this year!

In short – YES! The green cleaners on the market today are much more powerful (while still natural!) than when they were first introduced. As the green cleaning products category gained a larger following and big name brands (Clorox, Windex, Scrubbing Bubbles, etc) started to invest in their green product lines, the quality and effectiveness of these eco-friendly cleaners increased as well.

Now, most of the green cleaning products on the market are in line with their traditional counterparts. In fact, Good Housekeeping couldn’t ignore this segment any longer, so they recently unveiled their “Green Good Housekeeping Seal” to help designate the green products that pass their normal standards, PLUS an additional set of green practice requirements.   Nature’s Source cleaning products, a new line of green & biodegradable cleaners made from 99% natural ingredients, was the first group of products to earn this highest regarded designation.

One of the bigger problems most green enthusiasts worry about today is not whether or not the products are effective, its actually whether or not their ‘green’ products are truly ‘green’. Since the FDA & EPA has yet to designate a complete set of green product standards, hypothetically, anyone can call their products ‘green’. When purchasing green cleaning products two of the most important factors to look for are a) Whether or not it is biodegradable and b)What the ingredient label says.  While there are many other factors to consider (such as if the company has a strong sustainability policy or if the products come in recycled plastic bottles), these two factors relate the most to the ‘greenness’ of the actual product.

I hope this helped answer some of your questions about green & eco-friendly cleaning products.  If you have more questions, please don’t ever hesitate to shoot me an email – I’d be happy to answer your questions!
