1. Is Quickleen–S Non-Toxic?
All ingredients in Quickleen-S are non-toxic.
2. Is Quickleen–S Eco Friendly?
This is a broad question. In terms of water conservation, this product is streets ahead of liquid detergents due to its reduced water requirement. In terms of impact on the environment when discharged to waste, it does not present high loads to treatment systems, as most of the product is already in its natural state and cannot be broken down further. Quickleen-S does not contain any materials that present any risk to the environment.
3. Is Quickleen–S Biodegradable?
All ingredients used in Quickleen- S are fully biodegradable.
4. Is Quickleen–S a "Green Product" ?
This is a broad question. What is green? In relative terms it is "Greener" than most as explained in 2.0. Not many products on the market can boast greater than 90% natural ingredients such a Quickleen.
Many claim "organic" or "naturally" derived for their products, but this can usually be disproved very easily.
Sodium lauryl ether sulphate for instance (common ingredient of shampoos and dishwashing detergents) is claimed to be from Coconuts, but the truth is it is totally synthetic. New laws being legislated in the US at present will sort this all out, as all detergents will be required to have ingredients listed and there will be a cross reference from the government explaining what each ingredient really is.
5. Why is Quickleen–S better for the environment than other cleaning products?
Quickleen-S is far more environmentally acceptable than normal cleaning chemicals as it is approx. 95% organic in its makeup. Most chemical products are 10-20% at best.
6. Why is Quickleen – S so efficient at cleaning?
The secret is its high wetting action, which penetrates fat, grease and dirt. Also, its ability to absorb fat and oil rather than try to convert it to water emulsifiable forms like caustic does.
Quickleen-S is environmentally more acceptable than MOST cleaning chemicals, however, it still can cause some problems if misused. It is very biodegradable and becomes a natural part of the environment very quickly. This is the aim of governments to encourage manufacturers to produce products that work well then break down quickly to minimise pollution.
7. How should I clean Stainless Steel?
Don't go against the grain.
Always rub stainless steel in the same direction as the grain. Rubbing against the grain will spoil the finish and stainless will lose its shine. Worse, rubbing against the grain can damage the surface by creating microscopic crevices where dirt can collect. This can lead to corrosion spots.
Fortunately, it's usually easy to tell which is the right direction. You need to watch out for items like round handrails, which are often polished around their circumference when they're manufactured, rather than up and down the length of the tube.
If you have to scrub a stain to remove it, make sure you use either a clean nylon scourer or cloth with Quickleen 'S'. Test an inconspicuous area first as you could end up with a bright polished spot which doesn't match the rest of the surface.
NEVER EVER use steel wool (wire wool) to clean stainless steel. It is usually made of carbon steel and any fragments left behind will rust onto the stainless steel surface. Using any kind of scourer which has previously been used on ordinary (carbon) steel is also a no-no for the same reason.
