Simple Green for High Dollar Automotive Paint Prep
I paint cars, and do custom motorcycle work on high dollar machines.
As is well know, the finished product depends 90% on the surface preparation.
I use Simple Green EXCLUSIVELY as the final wax and grease remover, just prior to spraying very expensive paint products on my projects. Without fail, your product leaves the surface totaly free of contaminents that would otherwise lead to disaster.
Also, it is far more economical than other surface preparations and safer both for me and the environment!
Awesome product!
Thank you!

Axle Grease From the Car Seat - No Problem!
A while back I was asked by a relative to pick him up at the local garage where he had dropped off his car. Being a dog lover - he always had Dora (his dog – a large retriever) with him and this day was no different.
Unbeknownst to both him and myself, Dora had walked through axle grease which was all over all four paws. When she jumped into the back seat of my car the grease was everywhere.
I had no idea how I could remove it so went online and did a search for removing axle grease on Google. I found the testimonial on your site from a D. Detwiler who had also managed to get axle grease on his car seat and his story sounded genuine so I went off to buy some Simple Green.
After about 45 minutes of using Simple Green and some serious elbow grease - the stains came out completely.
I wouldn´t hesitate to recommend this product and was happy to discover that there is at least one company out there that delivers on its´ promise.
I would also add that I appreciated the obviously non-toxic composition of the product. It even smelled nice!
(I have some before and after shots that tell the story better than the above verbiage. It´s evident that the marks are from paw prints and the seat is saturated with the axle grease)
My only regret is that you don´t make a leather cleaner that would work on my red leather bag as it also managed to get grease on it…

FINALLY a cleaner for the RV!
We have searched for years and years to find a cleaner for our travel trailer. The only product we found that would actually clean it was pretty much straight bleach. And everyone knows how toxic and harmful that is. I was washing my car with the Simple Green (which by they way is excellent for removing the dried on bugs and tar), when I noticed a purple bird dropping on the camper, so I took my cloth and tried in on the stain… It came right off. Then I wondered if it would work on the black lines that form on every RV, and WOW it did, with very little effort. I proceeded to clean the entire camper and the awning as well, BAM the camper looks brand new. Thank you, thank you, thank you…. I am a clean freak and this stuff is the best product I have ever found. Where can I buy a 55 gallon drum of this stuff?.

Simple Green Saves Trailer After Flood
A testamony for your products:
The flood of 2008 caused us a lot of cleaning up! I had a trailer that was trapped in the water almost up to the ceiling leaving mud and stains inside and out. I was introduced to Simple Green when we had our house siding cleaned and the company used and told me about it!
After the water receded enough, I spent two days hosing out & scrubbing the entire camper with Simple Green! The stains, dirt and ugly odor are all gone.
I was able to salvage what looked like a disaster and cleaned everything to a bright finish again!
I will always keep a gallon of concentrate ready for any difficult clean up chores and would recommend this product be used as advertised to clean any surfaces!!!
Thank you for a wonderful product,

Words Can’t Describe How Great Simple Green Is!
This is the first time I ever contacted a company about their product. Today is also the first time I used Simple Green. There are no words to describe just how good it is. I used it to clean my carpet, clean the tub and tub surround and other bathroom fixtures. Simple Green made the cleaning easy - spray and wipe.
After today Simple Green will be the only cleaning product I buy.

Stone Cleaner and Polish Make Granite Counters Look Brand New
For years I´ve been looking for a product that was safe to use on my kitchen granite counter tops AND the cultured marble in my bathrooms. I saw an ad for your new stone cleaner and polish and I purchased some this past week. I used it on my granite counter tops yesterday and they were so bright and shiny afterward and literally slick as a whistle. I sat a piece of paper down on the counter and it slid right off. The counters look brand new! Thanks for a great product. I´m going to tell everyone about it. I haven´t tried the stone cleaner in my shower yet and look forward to reporting back on that. I´ll sure be careful with the polish on the shower walls as I certainly don´t want to get any on the shower floor. I don´t need to be falling out of the shower! Thanks again.
Sincerely,

Simple Green Removed Black Streaks From Rain Gutters
I recently bought my first bottle of Simple Green All-Purpose to use on my aluminum gutters to clean of the black streaking. I read testimonials on your site stating that it took the black streaks off. Well, here´s another testminonial! Simple Green removed the black streaks on my gutters - now they look brand new! I sprayed it on, lightly scrubbed with a nylon-mesh covered scrubbing sponge and rinsed. The gutters were spotless. Thank you!

Mother of 3 Loves Simple Green All Purpose Cleaner
I am a married mother of 3 children, ages 10, 8 and 3 years old. And I must say, that Simple Green has helped me out in so, so many ways. I´ve been a user of your products for several years now. I originally fell in love with Simple Green when I first discovered the wonders of your all purpose cleaner.
As I have mentioned, I am a mother of 3 children. And as most mothers know, keeping our children´s clothes looking new and free from stains can be a very difficult task. I often found myself shopping around, trying several stain removers only to be disapointed that none of them seemed to work when I noticed the stain had been set in when I pulled the clothing out of the dryer. Then one day, a friend of mine told me to try simple green. She said she usually threw some in her washing machine to help brighten her own clothes. So, feeling frustrated with the previous stain removers I had wasted my money on, I decided to give it a try. My first experience using Simple Green as a spot/stain remover was to remove those stubbon built up dirt stains that my boys would get after playing hard in the yard. I set the nozzle to foam, let it sit for about a minute, quickly scrub the stain and tossed it in the washing machine. What do you know… not only were the stains gone, but my kid´s clothes looked much brighter. Then I used it on grass stains. I got the same results. Blood stains… same results. Grease stains… same results!! I was elated at the sight of NO MORE STAINS on my children´s clothes. I also used it on my own clothes as well as my husband´s. One night we had a small gathering at our house. Wine was being served and unfortunately, I spilled a little on some of my favorite WHITE pants. I was so sure that it was the end of those pants. Before I gave them up, I decided to try my trusty Simple Green. It couldn´t hurt just to try. Again, I sprayed the stain, let it sit, scrubbed as much of it out as I could, threw the item in the wash and sure enough, Simple Green did not let me down. I´ve even used Simple Green to help clean my make up brushes. It was then that I knew Simple Green would be a part of my life for the rest of my life.
To this day, I have not been let down. I continue to use Simple Green all purpose cleaner as well as your other products.
Simple Green scrubbing pads come in handy when my family goes on our camping trips. My husband and I love to use them for scrubbing our camping grill and washing our camping dishes. We also love the fact that it is safe for the environment.
My husband works for road improvement. Many times has he come home with tar stains on his hand and gook in his nails. Simple Green gel hand cleaner also works wonders on his hands.
When cleaning my children´s tennis shoes, I often fine that using Simple Green wipes are great at keeping them nice and bright.
In my home, we have a problem with hard water. I can´t begin to tell you how many times I´ve had to get in my shower to remove limescale in just one month. Simple Green limescale remover helps make my job much easier.
I´ve never been let down by your products. They have always helped me in my everyday life. I´ve saved lots of money but what´s more, I´ve helped save the planet.
I love Simple Green! I talk about it to my family and friends about it ALL the time. So much that I´ve been told I should be a spokesperson for your wonderful product!
Thank you Simple Green!

Our Products Are Great - Will Share The News
Dear Simple Green Cleaning Products,
Just feeling the need to write a compliment letter to your company due to the awesome experience I encountered when I recently tried your cleaning products for the first time. I was amazed by how great they worked and how effective they were. In the past when I tried various other brands they didn‘t work as good and were too expensive. I feel that this is definitely not the case with your cleaning products and would like to tell you that no other brand can even come close in comparison.
From now on I plan on using your cleaning products for my home. Also, I am a PTA member and plan on using sharing my experience with your cleaning products with my fellow PTA members. We currently have a section of our meeting where we share recommendations for products and services that we value.
I respect your company and truly feel that you are an asset to the consumer world for making a product that not only works great but also saves us money.
I appreciate the time you have taken in reading this e-mail and look forward to both cherishing and sharing your products in the years to come.

Loves How Simple Green Cleans Everything
I just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with your simple green concentrate. I just bought it, and I am using it everywhere--both inside and outside my home. My husband particularly was pleased with its cleaning power when he cleaned the rain gutters and outside eaves of our home. It worked like magic!! He was thrilled with the results!! Just wanted to say "thank you" for making such a wonderful cleaning product. You can be sure that we are going to remain loyal and faithful customers. When you find a good product that works, you stick with it. Thanks, again.

Simple Green Stone Cleaner & Stone Polish Are Outstanding
I purchased your Stone Cleaner and Stone Polisher to use on my granite surfaces. Simply put, your products are outstanding. I rarely take the time to contact a manufacturer on their products; however, your products are so distinct in their performance that I felt compelled to do so. I recommend them to all of my family and friends. Great job to your engineering team.
Thank you,

Simple Green Saves Washing Machine
Long story short; $ 2000.00 front end high end washing machine…saved by $ 9.95 bottle of S/G!
Mildew smell in the washer, on the towels, on my children, on my skin…one application solved the problem!!! Seriously this is a HUGE problem…Otherwise the washer would be out on the street.
Maybe someone should tell the MFG´s about this so that they can retain their customers? I wouldn´t have believed it unless I tried it myself…Thanks so much!

Simple Green is amazing on Blood Stains
My 81 yr-old father-in-law lives in an assisted living facility for seniors. He fell down early yesterday morning, his head clipping the edge of a maple piece of furniture. He started bleeding profusely. Before they found him, he had lost nearly a pint of blood. His living room looked like a murder scene. After my husband dealt with the hospital and made sure his dad was stitched-up, stabilized and okay, I went to the apartment to clean up the mess. I stopped at the store to pick-up supplies the assisted living facility suggested. My carpet cleaner had a half a tankful of Simple Green in it (the ONLY cleaner I use for my carpets and rugs, especially with an infant and a preschooler)… I decided to try it first instead of dumping it. Ten hours had gone by since the accident, and the blood was dry and had oxydized on his lounger, couch, couch pillow, and there were dried pools of blood all over the carpet. To my amazement, Simple Green is the only cleaner I used. It was incredible! I didn´t even touch the other stuff that the facility had recommended. And yes, I always have a bottle on hand at my father-in-law´s too! It made my life easier, even after 2 1/2 hours of "steam vac-ing". Thank you for such a wonderful product!

Simple Green — Floor Adhesive Remover?
We had to remove commercial grade vinyl tile from our concrete floor in our basement. The old adhesive was stuck everywhere. I tried several different adhesive removers, including scraping with a floor scrapper. I found a sample bottle of Simple Green MAX™ Automotive Cleaner & Degreaser out in the garage and thought I would give it a try on the floor. I sprayed it on a little patch of floor, got my scrapper and the adhesive came off with no waiting time. I have since bought a larger bottle to do the entire floor!!! Thanks Simple Green!!

Simple Green Cleaned The Old Car Mats
One of the floor mats in my car had completely worn through and the other got saturated with motor oil (don"t ask). I checked the large department stores and car parts places but there was no OEM replacement available. I knew the manufacturer's replacement would be expensive. As a last resort I went to a local junk yard, Pick and Pull, where you can go in and get the exact parts you need from the junked cars on their lot. I found an original set with minimal wear but they were badly stained. But for two bucks, how could I go wrong? I applied Simple Green® liberally, scrubbed well and rinsed. Amazing!!! Nearly new mats for way less than three dollars. I LOVE Simple Green.

Lipstick On Your Pants Pocket?
My fiance is 6" 11" and has to special order his clothes. He had ordered some beautiful linen light beige shorts. We were at a party and I asked him to hold my lipstick, which was a pretty bright pink. Well, we got home and he put his shorts to wash with other clothes. OOPS….I found them in the wash, all pink and horrible. These beautiful linen shorts had pink stains on the pockets, back side, all over them. I hid the shorts and in the morning called my sister. She said use Simple Green. That will take out anything. Well I did and they were cleaned. This is a true story and I have been a true friend of Simple Green since.

Wedding Gown Saved!
After my daughter's wedding in Las Vegas, the wedding party decided to go clubbing on the Strip. Unfortunately, one of the guests who had been kind enough to transport luggage for the Bridesmaids accidentally took the bag that had my daughter's party dress inside. My daughter then had no choice but to party on through the streets and clubs in her gown. Needless to say the bottom of the dress and train was black from dragging on the tile, sidewalks, and asphalt. I thought the dress was ruined.
My husband suggested trying Simple Green. I hung the dress on the back patio, sprayed the hemline, rubbed with a clothes brush, and hosed it off. The dress is just like new!!! Simple Green disolved all the black marks and saved the dress for another bride to wear. If you could have seen the before and after, you would not believe this is true…but it most surely is!

Dirt Bike Sparkles With Simple Green
My son races motocross and it can get very muddy! Sometimes if the mud has time to dry, it is very hard to get off. My husband just sprays the bikes down with Simple Green, waits a few minutes and then pressure washes the bikes…dirt comes right off and the bikes are cleaner than his buddies! Everybody always comments on how clean his bikes are! We now have all of our motocross friends using it to clean their bikes.

10 Years of Dirt
My uncle introduced my family to Simple Green when he owned a hardware store (this was in 1975). This became a household "staple" from that moment on. After I left home I continued the tradition by using it on anything and everything that needed cleaning. I recently pulled out my pressure washer and of course the Simple Green. I ran out before I could get to the driveway because I had given a friend a full bottle (the re-fill jug) to pressure wash his house. My driveway had not been pressure washed in about 10 years. I live in a small town and am limited to stores and each one of them were out of stock. Someone suggested another product and I did try it. It was a liquid and I had to mix in some water and Clorox, whereas, with S/G all I have to do is pour it into the pressure washer bottle. I am not going to say the other product didn"t work, but I ended up spending more money and time on something that didn"t perform better than Simple Green. My neighbor happened to come over a few days later and asked if I had any Simple Green he could borrow because he was pressure washing his carport and boat and ran out. I just happened to have bought a re-fill jug that day and gladly handed it over. I even offered him the other stuff that I had tried but he turned it down. That evening he returned my bottle and a full spray bottle…… I love your product, not only for the way it cleans, but for being environmentally safe. I have a 12 year old Cocker Spaniel (my daughter) that always has her oversized ears and cute little nose to the ground and she loves to lick. I know that if she does get some of this into her system it will not harm her. She gets to play outside with me while I work and that means a lot to me! Thanks for making my life a lot more "Simple"…..

Simple Green Fire Cleanup
Several years ago we had a kitchen fire which caused extensive damage to our kitchen and very heavy smoke damage to everything else in our home. After the fire, the Red Cross gave us information on how to clean our smoky smelling clothes. I don"t remember the "recipe" but it involved several washes with several cleaners. My wife and I were certain we would never get everything clean again. I have used Simple Green on my cars for years, and on a whim I added about 1/4 a cup to a load of smokey laundry with regular detergent. ONE WASH and the clothes were clean, and fresh smelling-no smoke odor at all. We were thrilled that we would not have to spend so much money on the all the "recipe" cleaners and could get it all cleaned in one wash. We have passed the information on to anyone we talk to with smoke oders that Simple Green is the true key to a thorough cleaning. Thanks for a truly amazing product that is also friendly to the environment!

Simple Green in Fallujah, Iraq
Dear Mr. FaBrizio,
My name is Ben Jacobson; I´m with 1st Recon Battalion here in Fallujah, Iraq. Through Glenn Hammer and Willa Porter, my platoon and company have received a ton of Simple Green products. What a great cleaner!
Yesterday, while getting our monthly sight count, I wiped down our optics and equipment with your Simple Green wetnaps, and the equipment looked brand new. Babywipes, our alternative, leave a soapy film that collects dust almost immediately. Simple Green took away the dirt and oil but left the surface dry. Today the equipment still looks new and nothing stays clean around here.
All the boys thank you, from my team to the higher-ups, for your support out here. Thank you, and Semper Fidelis.

Simple Green Saves Tote Bag
Years ago I loaned a fold-up tote bag to a young friend who was going to Greece. When she returned, there were terrible black splotches all over the tote that looked like grease. I threw the bag in the wash but a regular laundry wash didn"t touch the stains.
Fast forward a few years when I next saw the tote and I was ready to trash it. On a whim I sprayed it with full strength Simple Green, let it sit a while in the sink, then washed it by hand. All the aged greased spots were gone! And the bright blue tote is now clean and ready for my next trip.
I use Simple Green for most of my cleaning around the house. I typed up the cleaner to water ratios that I use the most and posted them inside a kitchen cabinet. Thanks for your great cleaning products!

Simple Green Makes Quick Work out of BBQ Sauce Clean-Up
I was making a BBQ brisket in my crock-pot when the whole thing overflowed onto my kitchen stove and surrounding countertop. I tried to wipe up the mess with a dish rag, but only succeeded in making a bigger greasy mess. I sprayed the stovetop and surrounding counter with some diluted Simple Green and let it sit for about 3 minutes. I then took a sponge and wiped up the whole mess in less than 10 minutes.

Last Season"s Grease Stains
We deep fried a turkey for Thanksgiving; the fryer was set out on our red/black paving stones. It was a very windy day. When all was said and done we had ugly grease stains in about a 5-6" diameter. We live in northern Minnesota, there was snow on the ground and I wasn"t able to try clean the stones until spring. I tried everything from dish soap to oven cleaner, nothing worked. Then a co-worker, who is an ex-marine, suggested I try Simple Green. She said the Marines used it for EVERYTHING. Well, I poured the concentrate directly on the stones, brushed it around a bit and left it. A while later I came back and hosed it off and was I ever surprised to find the stains had disappeared!

Simple Green Saves a Khaki Skirt
A friend of mine accidentally sat in some kind of spilled make-up, leaving red stains across the back of her light khaki skirt. We tried to sponge them off with water, but they didn"t budge. "The skirt's ruined," they said, but I said, "I've got this great stuff at home in my cupboard; let me try to rescue this."
I took the garment home and sprayed it liberally with Lemon Simple Green. I rubbed at the stain with a damp cloth until the red had faded — it took only a few minutes. Then I tossed the skirt in the washer with the next load.
It came out spotless! By the end of the afternoon my friend was back in her skirt, and our other friends agreed that they needed to buy some Simple Green.

Convenience Stores Need Love, Too!
Three months ago my husband and his friend bought a convenience store that had been closed for about 2 months and probably not cleaned in 10 years. To say the least, we all had our hands full and a lot of cleaning ahead of us!
There was fryer grease in every crack and crevice in the deli, old tape stuck to every window, 10 years of hand-dirt on every door handle, glue on the tile floor from where carpet had previously sat, shelving that had 10 years of dust, a walk-in cooler with years of old cottage cheese and milk on the floor, soda-pop coolers that had dried soda and last but no least, a freezer that had old ice cream stuck all over it.
I brought up a half of a bottle that I use at home and we started cleaning… went to the store and bought 5 more spray bottles (couldn’t find a larger size) and TA-DA! The convenience store is beautiful and doesn’t smell like bleach or any of the other cleaners out there that say they work, but really don’t, they just leave a smell.
The entire hill we live and work on (one way on and one way off) loves the new and improved store. The biggest compliment that we get is how clean it looks and smells.
Thank you Simple Green, my hands and heart (and the environment) love you!

Simple Green Cleans Axle Grease
I unknowingly got axle grease on the back of my jacket and got back inside my Cadillac. When I got home and got out of the car, I noticed that there was grease smeared ALL OVER the back of the cloth car seat! I took off my coat and saw that it was all over the back of it as well! I almost died because it was covered with big chunks of the black grease. I sprayed it with full strength simple green and wiped with a warm wet cloth. It came completely out! I could not believe it. I sprayed it full strength on my jacket and laundered as usual. It came out as well.
Above and beyond my pleasure in getting the grease out, is knowing that the product I use is safe for my family and our environment. This is why I originally purchased the product.

Wonders of Heavy-Duty Towels

Simple Green Works Miracle on Vinyl Windows!
I purchased your household spray cleaner at my local hardware store for the first time. My task was to clean my white vinyl windows. They had accumulated lots of dirt and grass stains. A job I expected to take 5 to 6 hours was cut in half due to Simple Green. I did less rubbing with this product, than with any cleaner I have used in the past. From now on this will be the only cleaner I will use. Keep up the good work.

Simple Green on Rain Gutters and More
I've been using Simple Green for quite a while as it works very well cleaning latex painted surfaces and is an excellent grease cutter (gas grill or charcoal grill). I have a newer travel trailer that developed the usual black streaks and a friend said Simple Green works on removing them as well. I used it on the trailer aluminum, rubber roof and even the pull out awning and it did a fine job.
I've also had these black rain gutters since I moved in the house 5 years ago. I tried everything to remove them, Jo max, Aluminum Cleaner, Clorox cleanup, you name it, I tried it. It occurred to me that since it worked on my travel trailer maybe it would work on my gutters. I had my ladder out checking for storm damage and thought I'd give it a try. I applied it full strength with a car wash bug sponge to a test area and was amazed as it dissolved the black instantly.
To clean blackened rain gutters or black streaks on your travel trailer:
Put 1 or 2 inches of full strength Simple Green in a small bucket. Use a small sponge (car wash bug rag) to absorb it and wring it slightly. Apply to the black area and don’t do over a 2 or 3 foot section at a time. Keep rubbing it and keep it wet and watch it dissolve. Don’t let it dry and rinse immediately. You may have to repeat once if your gutters were as black as mine.

Simple Green Saves Marble Floor
My husband and I had just spent $ 2000 having our marble floors stripped and polished…….one week later, a pot of coffee overflowed onto the kitchen floor. Because the coffee maker was on an automatic timer, the spill remained on the marble for an hour. I tried to clean it up, but there was a large black stain remaining. In desperation, I went looking for a cleaner that was safe to use on marble. The only product in the store that fit the bill was Simple Green. I had very little hope that the stain would come up without using a "specialized" product. To my amazement, Simple Green got the stain out entirely….with only one application! Thanks for a great product. You saved my $ 2000 marble finish!

Found More Uses For Extreme Simple Green
I have just had an opportunity to use your new product named Extreme Simple Green for Aircraft. What a GREAT product!!! I have found more uses for Extreme Simple Green on my recreational vehicle and boat then I could possible list. When I think about it, I should not be suprised. Many RV´s and boats use aluminum and are constructed much the same as aircraft. I really think you are missing the boat (no pun intended) in two major markets by not advertising how useful Extreme Simple Green is on travel trailers and boats. Your new product should be named Extreme Simple Green for Aircraft, Recreational Vehicles & Boats. Thanks for a GREAT product.

Black Streakings, Mold & Mildew Cleaned From Rain Gutters
I am a house painter and at times our customers ask us to do other jobs as well as paint. On this one particular job we were asked to clean the black streaking off of the aluminum rain gutters and other aluminum surfaces. They had a bottle of Simple Green so we gave it a try. The results were unbelievable. Not only did it remove all the black weather markings but also the mold and mildew. After using Simple Green on the job I had to try it on my rain gutters that were installed in the early 1980's. I tried a test patch and it came out white and shiny. I couldn’t believe that after 20 years that I would see white again.

My sister and I do massive amounts of canning each year. Because we do so much we are always getting canning jars wherever we can. Out of basements, attics, garages, wherever. The only thing we have ever found to clean these old dusty jars is bleach. However, bleach wreaks havoc on my septic tank. Simple Green works absolutely fantastic on even the nastiest grime in these jars and doesn't bother the septic tank one bit.

Removes "Permanent" Stains from 1923 Home
My husband and I recently bought a historical 1923 home. It came with most of the original fixtures. The large deep bathtub seemed like a dream until I tried to clean it. Years of mineral deposits and staining were giving a very dirty appearance even though I know I had cleaned it. I thought I was going to have to live with it. In almost a joking manner, I splashed some Simple Green on the "permanent" stains. Whooosh! They were gone. I ran to my 1923 ceramic tiled counter tops, which I bleached on a daily basis. I was astonished Simple Green worked as well as bleach but with no fumes. I have a 21-month old and a one-month old so I love the mildness of this product. I plan to clean everything with this.

Simple Green Makes Dogs Breathe Easier
My husband and I raise Chihuahuas, Pomeranians and Yorkshire Terriers. We have cleaned our kennels with bleach diluted with water in the past and have had problems with respiratory problems. Since we switched to Simple Green we have had no problems with our babies and it cleans very well and leaves a fresh scent. We won"t use anything else. Thanks for making our life simple.

Cleans Without Damaging Firetruck
I am a retired Southern California fireman and have been using your product for about 25 years. Simple Green is the best and safest environmental cleaning product I have ever used. It can be used safely on the fire trucks without worrying that there will be any damage to the paint or rubber. I am also an automobile detailer. Simple Green is, again, the best. Unlike other products I have used, I can count on Simple Green not to damage expensive wheels and to clean engine compartments without any damage to paint, plastics or rubber products.

Helped Us Recover From House Fire
We had smoke damage to our house. The smell was so bad we had to call professional cleaners for help. The first thing they told me to do was buy Simple Green and wash everything, all woodwork, floors, dishes, everything. Wow, it worked great! From that day on, I only use Simple Green.
