| alexdg1's Full Review: Orange Clean Tough Acting Degreaser Multi-Purpose ... |
One of the stark realities of housekeeping is that it's a job that would drive Sisyphus crazy -- you can work long hours wiping, mopping, scouring, vacuuming, dusting, and picking up things and still find some speck of dirt on the floor or a new grease stain on a counter. Let's face it, keeping a home clean and sanitary is a never-ending and often thankless job, but it has to be done.
Fortunately, there are plenty of handy products available for even the most reluctant of household warriors to fight the never-ending struggle against dirt, grime, and grease, and Orange Clean Tough Acting Degreaser is one of the latest additions to our already impressive arsenal.
Now, I've always favored spray-based multipurpose cleaners ever since I began showing any interest in helping my mom around the house. Even when I was just cleaning my Star Wars collectibles, I'd use products such as Fantastik or Formula 409 to clean the figures and their tough plastic display stands; for vehicles with labels on their wings and fuselages I'd have to dust them lest I screw up the stickers. I also found glass cleaners such as Windex helpful, first to clean windows, mirrors, sliding glass doors and TV screens, then later on to spiffy up my PC monitor.
For those of us who don't want to trudge around the house lugging a bunch of different containers to clean many types of surfaces, Orange Glo International's Orange Clean is a pretty nifty product. It has at least two good things in its favor -- ease of use and cleaning power.
From the container label of Orange Clean:
Ideal for: Kitchen appliances, counters, cabinets, walls, doors, bathrooms, ceramic tile, tubs, sinks, patio furniture, and much, much more!
Directions: Spray on soiled area and wipe clean. Rinse if necessary. For baked-on grease or thick soap film, wait several minutes before wiping.
Note: Test Orange Clean in an inconsipicious area before use. Not recommended for soft shiny plastic coated surfaces (such as microwave number pads), or soft vinyl, varnished, acrylic plastic, or aluminum surfaces. Not for use on floors; may make floors slippery.
Caution: Keep out of reach of children and pets. In case of eye contact, rinse with water.
Experience with this product: The other day, for instance, I noticed there were a few fingerprints (possibly from having handled the Miami Herald earlier in the day) on our front door. Because the paint is a light shade of beige (I call it vanilla), the prints stood out like sore thumbs. I was in a sour mood and wasn't going to put up with it, so I went to our utility room and fetched a paper towel and the 32 fl. oz. container of Orange Clean and followed the directions on it. Phzz! Phfzz!....I pulled the trigger twice, hitting the dirty gray stains and imagining they were one of my few foes (yes, I have people who don't like me...) I did a mental count to 30, then wiped the Orange Clean and the offending stains off the door.
I also -- because there's a label on the nozzle that states New Formula! Streak Free! -- tried this product out on my monitor. It wasn't too dusty, mind you, but it did have a few thumbprints (possibly from me trying to turn it off in the dark at, oh, three in the morning) on the glass. One spritz of Orange Clean, a gentle wipe with a piece of Bounty paper towel, and voila! No thumbprints.
Another thing in Orange Clean's favor is that it only has a faint orange scent -- unless you have a very sensitive sense of smell or use a lot of it at once, it won't overpower you with fumes like some other multipurpose spray cleaners do.
