Do not add a defoamer or spot remover. For bad stains, apply Quick n Brite paste full strength or spray heavysolution on stains and let sit for a few minutes allowing Quick n Brite to go deep down into the stain. Then begin your steam cleaning or shampoo process following machine instructions. WHEN CLEANING CARPETS, FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. SPOT CHECK FOR COLOR-FAST FIRST.  Clean your Fireplace Brick: For some people cleaning soot and creosote from your fireplace brick and glass is a chore, if you have Quick n Brite, this job is a breeze! Apply QB paste or liquid full strength with a very wet stiff brush, or a wet scrub sponge on glass. Work in a slow circular motion. Spray with clear water to rinse and wipe with a terry cloth. Quick n Brite will remove smoke, soot, creosote and pitch. For extremely bad areas, repeat the process, if necessary. Outdoor Windows: Throw away the old squeegee, don't worry about towels to dry the windows and put away the gloves. You can clean your outdoor windows in half the amount of time and effort with Quick n Brite. Choose a cool morning when the sunlight isn't directly on your windows. Using a garden hose, wet your outdoor windows. Apply Quick n Brite heavy solution with a wet sponge or pole brush then simply hose your windows off. Water will sheet dry from windows with no streaking, no squeegee and no drying. Clean your couch cushions: This is one of those jobs that you rarely think about doing, but once it's done, you can notice a huge difference! If you have removable fabric on the cushions of your couch you can wash them in the washing machine using a 1/4 cup of Quick n Brite. If the fabric is not removable follow the directions below. Apply Quick n Brite heavy solution using a terry cloth in a slow circular motion, giving cleaner time to emulsify dirt and grime. If you have a hand held steam cleaning machine, run the Quick n Brite heavy solution through the machine then wipe dry with a clean terry cloth. D0 NOT USE 0N RAW LEATHER OR SUEDE. AS WITH ANY FABRIC, ALWAYS TEST FOR COLOR-FAST AND FOLLOW MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFICATIONS. Cleaning your house siding: This is another great project to tackle when the weather is nice in the springtime and really helps prolong the life of your siding. Quick n Brite is safe on any siding surface such as vinyl, wood, brick, stucco, or stone and will safely and quickly remove moss, weathering, dirt and build up. Using a garden hose wet the surface of your house and apply Quick n Brite heavy solution with a brush or scrub sponge. For a heavy build-up, let it sit for about 5 minutes, brush, and hose off.

How can I clean the stone around my fireplace? By DIY Expert Danny Lipford

How to Clean Stone Around a Fireplace

How can I clean the stone around my fireplace? -Valerie

Hi Valerie,

I would stay away from harsh chemical cleaners, since they can leave a flammable residue behind, which is not a good idea around a fireplace! I also wouldn’t use a wire brush when cleaning, since it can damage the stones.

A homemade cleaning recipe for stone that works well is to mix 1/2 to 1 cup of trisodium phosphate (TSP) with one gallon of hot water. Dip a scrub brush in the mixture, then use it to clean the stones. It’s messy, but it usually does the trick.

An easier solution is to use an enzyme cleaner. One that comes highly recommended by our friends at Better Homes and Gardens is called Quick ’n Brite. This is a multi-purpose cleaner that’s environmentally friendly; and, quite frankly, it really works!

Quick ’n Brite enzyme cleaner is available as either a liquid or paste. For cleaning stone around a fireplace, I would definitely use the paste cleaner.

Good luck with your project,

Danny

How to Clean Hard Water from your Showers

Hard water, soap scum, calcium and mineral deposits are some of the hardest things to get off your shower doors and sometimes leave you embarrassed to have people see your bathroom! The good news is there is a product that will take off years of soap scum that you've never been able to get off! Scum Off is a revolutionary new chemical free cleaner that removes soap scum, hard water, calcium and mineral deposits without the backbreaking elbow grease!

1. Wet down your shower using warm/hot water
2. Apply Scum Off Full strength directly out of the container using a white webbed sponge (or OOOO steel wool for really bad showers-it's the lightest grade so it won't scratch!)
3. Let the Scum Off sit for 30 minutes. The patented water softening agents in Scum Off are scrubbing for you to break down the hard water, soap scum and mineral deposits and Scum Off is a concentrated gel so it won't run down your shower door!
4. After 1/2 hour, come back with your shower head and rinse your shower clean! (You may have to use a wet sponge for areas your shower head won't reach)
5. Once your shower is clean, take 1 tablespoon of your concentrated gel and dilute it with a quart of water, use this solution as your daily shower spray and replace the containers you are buying for $3-5 in the store for only $0.25!

How to Clean Hard Water Stains in Showers

Hard water, calcium, mineral deposits and soap scum are a constant battle in any shower to keep clean and maintained. There are many cleaners on the market that may come close to getting your shower cleaned but they are so full of fumes and chemicals it makes cleaning your shower such a tough chore that it never gets done. Years ago, Quick n Brite developed SCUM OFF, a product made specifically to clean hard water, soap scum and calcium and mineral deposits from your showers. Whether you have glass shower doors, porcelain, tile, marble or vinyl Scum Off is safe on any surface water can touch! Even your brushed nickel faucets and fixtures, stainless steel and grout! With Scum Off, we take the hassle, scrubbing and fumes out of cleaning your shower.

First thing you want to do when using Scum Off is throw away your old rubber gloves and mask you previously used to clean the showers because there are no chemicals or fumes and you won't need them!

1. Wet your shower down then using a stiff scrub brush (or 0000 steel wool for really tough showers) 
2. Apply Scum Off full strength directly out of the container. 
3. Let it sit on your shower for 30 minutes. During that time Scum Off will break down your soap scum and hard water deposits so you don't have to scrub. 
4. After 30 minutes, reapply Scum Off with your scrub brush then rinse the shower using your shower head.

After your shower is cleaned to maintain your shower add 1TB of Scum Off to a quart of water and spray down your shower after each use. This will prevent the hard water and soap scum from building back up on your shower doors.
