KLEENING HINTS - CARPET POWER

Advice:
No carpet, not even modern carpet is entirely stain proof. Your best chance for removing stains is to attend to them as quickly as possible. Always first blot liquid stains with dry, white absorbent cloths or white paper towels with no printing on them. With semi-solids, remove as much as you can with a rounded spoon before using Carpet Power.

Preventative Measure:
A simple floor mat placed at each door to the outside can trap much of the soil that would otherwise find its way into your carpet. But it's important to keep these mats cleaned regularly. Otherwise, the mats will fill with soil just like a sponge with water and will actually become the source to spread soil to your carpet.

Red Wine:
Red wine is one of the worst offenders when it comes to stains. Best to treat this stain immediately by absorbing the spill with a paper towel then spraying Carpet Power onto the stain, use a damp cloth gently wiping over and rinsing off after SET IN CARPET STAINS: Depending on the type of stain, the key to treating some set in carpet stains is persistence. It may take more than one try to get the stain out. If you see some lightening of the stain on the first attempt, try again. Use small amounts of water and a damp cloth after each try.

KLEENING HINTS - BATH POWER

THE AMAZING BATH, SHOWER AND TOILET CLEANER

NO HARD SCRUBBING!! Simply squirt onto surface, leave for 30-60 seconds, rinse and wipe off.

Time Saving Hint:
Before you tackle the bathroom with Bath Power, remove rugs and sweep or vacuum hair and dust from sinks and floors. Use a paper towel to wipe first to save you the effort of cleaning hair and dust off the sponge, dispose of paper towel in bin. Now you're ready to clean using Bath Power.

Bathtubs:
Regular cleaning with Bath Power will lessen hard soap-scum build up. After each use, wipe your bathtub with Bath Power and a sponge. The Bath Power Mate is ideal for baths. Baths are low to the ground, so using the Bath Power Mate can make cleaning easier. The long handle means less bending. Turn on bath tap and rinse the dissolved soap-scum down the drain.

Spas:
Empty spa water and wipe over with Bath Power. Leave for about 1 minute then rinse off. Your spa will look like new. Bath Power cleans and gleams!!

Tiles:
Ceramic tiles are extremely durable. Most tiles have a glazed glossy finish that protects the surface from stains and moisture. Unglazed tiles require additional care such as more frequent cleaning and occasional sealing. Squirt Bath Power directly onto the tiles you want to clean. Wipe over using a sponge or cloth, leave for 30-60 secs. then rinse off using the showerhead. Applying Bath Power using the Bath Power Mate makes it easier again. Fill the Bath Power Mate with Bath Power, turn to "ON" and you're away. Bath Power will dispense out as you wipe your tiles. The Bath Power Mate has a non-scratch cleaning head unlike steel wool or abrasive products that can scratch the tile finish.

Grout:
Grout is rough and porous which attracts soap-scum and dirt. Remove this layer of grime first with Bath Power sprayed directly onto the surface, leave for 30-60 secs. and rinse off using the showerhead. Do not use nylon or short bristle brushes that can damage grout. The Bath Power Mate has a special non-scratch cleaning head that is ideal for wiping over grout. NOTE: Sometimes mould and grime can etch itself behind and in the grout making it impervious to cleaners. If this is the case, the surface is therefore damaged and you may need to re-grout. When you re-grout, be sure to kill all the mould or it may breed back through again. Don't use steel wool - too much scrubbing can rub the dirt into pores!

Shower Screens:
Why do all that scrubbing when Bath Power does it for you? Some happy users prefer to clean the screen while in the shower. Simply squirt onto surface. Use your hands to wipe over (those with sensitive skin should use a cloth or the Bath Power Mate) leave for 30-60secs. and rinse off using the showerhead. The Bath Power Mate is ideal for screens and makes it so much quicker. The special non-scratch cleaning head won't scratch your glass. The long handle means less leverage and saves you time.

Toilets:

THE AMAZING ALL-PURPOSE CLEANER

Steel Sinks:

Ceramic Hobs:
Kitchen Power works wonders on cooking hobs. Simply spray with Kitchen Power, leave for about a minute and wipe with a damp cloth.

Handy Hint:
Kitchen Power can be tipped down the drain to help keep your drains clear and smelling fresh. Regular use of Kitchen Power prevents drain blockages.

Flyscreens:
Remove screens and spray with Kitchen Power, leave for 30-60 secs. and hose off. Put two to three caps- full of Kitchen Power in a bucket of water and wash window and door frames with a sponge. Before you put screens back, wash out the window or door grooves where the screens slide. Wind a strip of cloth around a ruler or screwdriver, which will fit into the narrow slots. First dip this into the bucket of water and Kitchen Power. Finish up by wiping with a dry cloth. If you want to store the clean screens for the winter, put them in a place that is clean and dry. Cover them with paper sacks or clean cloths. Or use a big sheet of plastic, like an old shower curtain or tablecloth.

Barbecues:
Tough grease, gunk and insects can threaten your outdoor feast. You'll know if your barbeque grill needs cleaning if the flame coming from the burners is yellow instead of blue. The burner should be cleaned at least once a year with a wire brush and poke each burner hole with a nail to clear away gunk. Gas tubes should also be checked and cleared using a stick. Spiders and insects can block the flow of gas. When cleaning the gas grill spray a small amount of Kitchen Power on the surface, turn your BBQ on to medium high and scrap gunk off using a scraper. Check first that the scraper does not scratch the surface since all BBQs are different.

Vinyl Floors:
Dilute Kitchen Power 20-1 in a bucket of water. Mop and wait awhile to allow it to penetrate the ground-in dirt. Dry the surface with a towel to be sure the surface is not slippery. Your floors will sparkle like new!

Ovens:
The secret with ovens is getting to the grime quickly, preventing the buildup. As soon as there is a spill, squirt with Kitchen Power then wipe off. Avoid using steel wool, which can scratch the oven resulting in food clinging to the surface and making it harder to clean. Spray Kitchen Power in your oven directly to remove spillages. Leave for a while and wipe off. NOTE: It's best to turn the oven off when doing a thorough clean. Use Kitchen Power just after spills. Caution: Never apply any cleaner to a hot oven.
