How to Clean Coffee Stains from Carpet & Upholstery

With the holiday's right around the corner, we all find ourselves tidying up the house for the arrival of friends and family, but what about the stains that appear during the holidays? With overnight guests, there are likely to be many pots of coffee brewed Christmas Morning. Let's face it; no matter how careful guests are, there will be coffee spilled. Quick 'n Brite quickly and easily removes coffee stains from carpet, clothing and upholstery. 

Step 1: Use a dry terry cloth towel to soak up as much of the coffee as possible. Terry cloth is the best material to use for absorbency.

Step 2: Using a damp terry cloth towel, apply Quick 'n Brite paste full strength to the stained area. Use short 5 or 6 inch motion to rub back and forth over the spill until the stain disappears.

Step 3: Use a clean damp terry cloth towel and rub over the stain 4 or 5 times, then use a DRY terry cloth towel to buff over the stained area until no more coffee stain is pulled from the surface.  This last step is very important to guarantee that the stain does not return!

Step 4: Return to your holiday festivities!

Always remember to check your material for colorfast and follow manufacturer's specifications before applying any cleaners. Quick 'n Brite is safe on any surface water can touch, 100% eco-friendly, non-toxic and biodegradable.

How to Clean Grass Stains in Clothing and Shoes

The inevitable grass stain. No one can go an entire summer without at least one grass stain on their clothing or shoes. Especially if you have children at home, then you can't go an entire week without a grass stain! Although grass stains can be very difficult to clean, the good news is that grass stains can be removed using Quick 'n Brite.

If you find yourself or your children's laundry covered with grass stains the best thing to do is pre-treat them before they go through the washer and dryer. Although Quick 'n Brite will still remove a grass stain if it is set in (gone through the washer and dryer,) it is a much easier stain to remove if you catch it before the wash cycle.

Step 1: Wet the material down first with hot water. Grass stains are considered a "dye" stain, so hot water is best.

Step 2: Apply Quick 'n Brite paste full strength directly onto the grass stained area then fold the material trapping the stained area and cleaner in between the pieces of fabric. Rub the fabric together briskly to work the cleaner into the stain.

Step 3: About 90% or more of the stain should be removed after Step 2. If not, let the material sit for 10 minutes, apply more Quick 'n Brite, than rub the fabric together briskly again.

Step 4: If stain is 90% or more removed proceed to Step 5, if not, mix 2 tablespoons of Quick 'n Brite Liquid or Paste to 1 quart of HOT water and let material soak in solution overnight.

Step 5: If material is machine washable, run the clothing through the washing machine as you normally would. Check to make sure stain is fully removed before drying fabric. If the stain is not completely removed, repeat Step 4 before rewashing fabric.

Great Testimonial For Scum Off Shower Cleaner

We just received this great testimonial from one of our customers and wanted to share! Scum Off Shower Cleaner  is specially designed to remove hard water, soap scum, calcium and mineral deposits from showers, tubs, toilets, windows and more! Like Quick n Brite, it is 100% eco-friendly, non-toxic and has no harsh fumes or chemicals. 

Thanks Grace for your testimonial:

The most amazing cleaning product!  I was given a bottle of Scum Off to help get calcium deposits off of glass shower doors.  It worked wonders and I had tried everything with no success before I got the Scum Off. 

After seeing what an amazing cleaner it is, I turned to my counter tops, to my floors, mirrors; to date, I have not found anything that Scum Off won't clean.  I was cautious to use test areas to make sure it wouldn't remove color, but found it was even the best cleaner to use for my carpet in my car.  Old coffee stains disappeared with a quick spray of diluted Scum Off, a quick brush down and vacuum.

I recommend the product highly, especially if you have allergies or are sensitive to harsh chemicals.  The diluted product in a spray bottle has almost no odor at all. Tired of cleaners that eat gloves and tell you to use in a well ventilated area?  Scum Off is the answer!

With a vigorous wipe down to be sure to leave no residue it only requires a single use to remove nicotine from car windows... the best of industrial chemicals can't even come close to that!!  You guys are AMAZING!!!!! Thank you!

How to Clean Leather Tennis Shoes

One easy and inexpensive way to improving your wardrobe is to keep your clothing and shoes looking new. Quick n Brite is the best product on the market to remove clothing stains, but did you know it is even better to clean leather tennis shoes? Quick n Brite is all natural, with no harmful chemicals or fumes making it safe for your kids to help clean their shoes too! As a child I played soccer, basketball and baseball and friends always thought I got new shoes and cleats every year, our trick was to just use Quick n Brite to keep them looking that way. Now as an adult, my running shoes and gardening shoes often need a good cleaning. Whether your shoes are big or small, sports shoes or every day wearers, Quick n Brite is your answer. 

If you are going to do a deep cleaning of your leather tennis shoes, first thing you want to do is take out your shoe laces and put them in a cup of the Quick n Brite Heavy Solution (1TB Quick n Brite to 1 cup HOT Water) and let them soak for a minimum of 15 minutes. This step is especially important if you have white shoe laces, cleaning those first can make a huge difference!

Then, use a damp terry cloth towel and wipe off the majority of the dirt and build-up on your shoes. Next, using a damp sponge apply Quick n Brite paste full strength to your shoes and work the cleaner around in a short, circular motion.* (As with all cleaners, it is recommended to test a small area for colorfast and follow manufacturers specifications, and do not use Quick n Brite on raw leather or suede.)* Then using a dry terry cloth towel simply wipe your shoes dry. Quick n Brite will not dry out or crack your leather tennis shoes.

If you have opted to soak your shoe laces, after 15 minutes remove them from the cleaner and rinse with warm water, then lay flat to dry.
