Simple Green is uniquely different from other cleaners because it concentrated, non-toxic and biodegradble.

Simple Green is a blend of water, surfactant (surface-active) agents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, color and scent. Surfactant agents lift grease and oil up off of the surface, wetting agents help Simple Green penetrate soils, and emulsifiers put those soils into solution so that they can be washed away.

Simple Green started over twenty-five years ago as a concentrated, non-toxic and biodegradable cleaner long before it was trendy or mandated by law for products to be "environmentally friendly."

Concentrated: As a concentrate, Simple Green is more economical, versatile and uses less packaging than most other cleaning products. Simple Green can be custom diluted with water on practically any washable surface. (SEE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS FOR MORE DETAILED USAGE INFORMATION.)

Non-Toxic: Check the labels for other products on the shelf and very few will say "Non-Toxic" right on their label. Simple Green is the safer alternative to toxic cleaners, solvents and bleaches. Simple Green is more responsible to you, your children, your pets and your environment.

Readily Biodegradable: Simple Green is readily decomposed in the environment by naturally occurring microorganisms. Simple Green meets the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) and the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recommendations for ready biodegradability. Simple Green's biological oxygen demand (BOD), as a percentage of its chemical oxygen demand (COD) after 4, 7, and 11 days is 56%, 60%, and 70% respectively.

Independent Laboratory Data: All of Simple Green's "claims" are actually credentials, backed up by over $3 million spent on independent laboratory testing for verification.

Use Simple Green throughout your home.

In the Kitchen: Simple Green can be used to clean ovens, range hoods, vents, counters, stove-tops, refrigerators, sinks, floors, polished marble, stainless steel, chrome, most plastics and cabinets. Simple Green is authorized by the USDA (United States Department of Agricultural) for use in food processing establishments. Food-contact surfaces should be rinsed after cleaning. Please read and follow all label instructions.

In the Bathroom: Simple Green can be used to clean (not disinfect) porcelain, ceramic tile, sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, faucets and fixtures, glass shower doors, floors counters, aluminum, chrome and stainless steel. Use with adequate ventilation and please read and follow all label directions.

In the Laundry: Simple Green boosts cleaning in the washing machine. Please read and follow the label instructions for laundry use.

To clean drains: Although Simple Green will not always break apart complex clogs that contain a variety of things (hair, food, grease, etc.), it can be instrumental in keeping your drains free of clogs. When cleaning your kitchen floor with Simple Green, try mixing the dilution in your sink (with the drain plug in, of course,) clean and recharge your sponge-mop directly in the sink while cleaning the floor, and then pull the plug and let the dirty Simple Green/water flow down the drain. Or, mix the dilution in a bucket, mop the floor, and then pour the bucket down the sink drain. (You may need to have a drain-sieve in place when you do this).

A good regular maintenance tip is to plug the sink, fill the sink with hot water and add 1 cup Simple Green for small sinks (bathrooms) or 2 cups for large sinks (kitchen), and then (wearing a rubber glove to protect from the hot water,) unplug the sink and let the mixture flow down the drain. Regular maintenance of drains can greatly diminish or eliminate clogging problems

On boats, trailers or other equipment: Simple Green is the perfect cleaner for keeping your boat, trailer, personal watercraft, fishing and skiing equipment, inflatables and much more sparkling clean and looking like new. Use Simple Green to remove grease, grime, oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, fish blood, dirt and more from all washable surfaces including: fiberglass, gel coat, most plastics (not instrument panels), treated wood, carpet, fabric, upholstery, canvas, rubber, vinyl, and glass. Please read and follow all label directions and do not allow degreasing rinses to fall into lakes, rivers, oceans, or storm drains.

In a pressure washer/power washer: Simple Green does a great job when used in or with a pressure/power washer. It can be used to clean vehicles, concrete, siding, lawn furniture, canvas, etc.

For cleaning siding (aluminum or vinyl) use approximately a 30:1 dilution. (30 parts water to 1 part Simple Green.) If you have to pre-mix in a bucket and then your equipment pulls it straight through, mix 4 ounces Simple Green for every 1 gallon of water. If your equipment automatically gives you a dilution and you can't alter that dilution, it is probably a 7:1 dilution (most common.) In that case, mix a 4:1 dilution in a bucket and pull that through. (4:1 @ 7:1 = a 28:1 solution.) Start at the bottom and work upward to avoid "clean streaks". Work in sections, cleaning and rinsing, so that the product does not dry on the surface before the rinse stage. Really heavily soiled siding might require light scrubbing with a non-metallic bristle brush or shop broom.

Before doing this job, make sure you have eye protection. Simple Green will sting your eyes but not damage them. However, the pollutants and oxidized paint that can come off of your siding can seriously damage your eyes - so please wear safety glasses or goggles. Additionally, move any vehicles, people or animals away from the downwind area of your job. (Vehicles won't be harmed, but wax might be removed if over-spray sits on the car for too long prior to rinsing.)

After the job is over, give any ground areas exposed a good watering. This will help the Simple Green and water penetrate the soil, where it will biodegrade. Rinse off plant leaves and tree-trunks. Don't leave any standing puddles or containers of Simple Green and water where animals might drink. Too much ingested can cause diarrhea.

Lastly, when cleaning vehicles, lawn furniture or canvas (same dilution ratio as siding,) don't allow runoff to enter storm drains. This is a violation of the Clean Water Act (which states that nothing can be put down a storm drain but rainwater!). Simply push the runoff with your hose or pressure washer to a grassy area and water it in.
