A testament to LAs Totally Awesome

[Chief Geek]

My wife just returned from a road trip and somewhere along the line she stepped in some cold patch asphalt and get it all in the floor mat of her new van. Because she was about 9 hours from home she had no option but to leave it on her shoe and mat for the next week until driving that 9 hours home. I saw it and thought we were buying new mats but was a bit ticked that it happened so early after buying that van. Well I remembered reading about this cheap wonder cleaner from all the ultrasonic cleaner threads so I figured I had a dollar tree a mile away I'd give it a shot. The mat had clumps of tar with gravel chips all gummed up for a week but tried anyways. I poured half a bottle of the concentrate on all the spots and left it sit for 15 minutes then scrubbed, wetted, scrubbed again for a grand total of 2 minutes. The stuff came right out. It actually took me about 10-15 minutes of hosing it off to get all the suds out and the mat looked brand new again. I couldn't believe that this mat was just caked with tar less then an hour ago, and to top it off, the stuff is only a buck.

I buy it by the gallon whenever possible. It's some really amazing stuff, that's for sure. I use it for cleaning my siding and other difficult cleaning jobs. It takes mildew off like nobody's business.

I havnt found gallon jugs anywhere yet. Where have you found them and how much? I'm a big simple green fan but for the price and comparable results I'd much rather you something that costs 25%

Gallon orginal is not obtainable for me. But I think people are buying the Orange kind in gallons - They have these at my Dollar Trees, etc.

Great stuff, i buy it by the 12 pack of 32 oz bottles, sometimes i use it full strength but most of the time i water it down. It works great!

I found it at a Family Dollar. Maybe it's the 40 ounce. I'm not at home right now to check (my kiddo is still in the hospital).

Nothing wrong with simply green.

Is this another orange based cleaner? All of these seem to work amazingly well. I usually buy Johnson Stride (a professional general purpose orange based cleaner) at a local janitorial supply house and it works really well. Maybe I'll give this stuff a try.

Does any one know the active ingredients of this cleaner?

 

[Thomas^2]

I maybe wrong but it smells very similar to 409.

I swear by this stuff, great cleaner and just noting bad to say about it.

I bought the 64 oz. jug for I think $3 dollars at one of the "dollar" stores. I already had the smaller spray bottle so it works out well. I use this product for my cleaning my tool purchases and it works well, and it's cheap enough so that I can actually soak stuff full strength. It doesn't actually list the ingredients on the jug but it does say no ammonia, no acid, no bleach and it's non-flammable.

Careful with that stuff as it attacks aluminum. I believe at one time they were using it to wash military helicopters and it did a lot of damage.

I did some research and they don't list the ingredients on the bottle because it's non-toxic. They only say the ingredients are water and surfacants agents.
