Words Canīt Describe How Great Simple Green Is!
This is the first time I ever contacted a company about their product. Today is also the first time I used Simple Green. There are no words to describe just how good it is. I used it to clean my carpet, clean the tub and tub surround and other bathroom fixtures. Simple Green made the cleaning easy - spray and wipe.
After today Simple Green will be the only cleaning product I buy.

Stone Cleaner and Polish Make Granite Counters Look Brand New
For years Iīve been looking for a product that was safe to use on my kitchen granite counter tops AND the cultured marble in my bathrooms. I saw an ad for your new stone cleaner and polish and I purchased some this past week. I used it on my granite counter tops yesterday and they were so bright and shiny afterward and literally slick as a whistle. I sat a piece of paper down on the counter and it slid right off. The counters look brand new! Thanks for a great product. Iīm going to tell everyone about it. I havenīt tried the stone cleaner in my shower yet and look forward to reporting back on that. Iīll sure be careful with the polish on the shower walls as I certainly donīt want to get any on the shower floor. I donīt need to be falling out of the shower! Thanks again.
Sincerely,

I just used Extreme Simple Green Precision Equipment Degreaser and loved it. I cleaned my stainless steel barbeque grill and the job was MUCH easier with this product. The best part is it was gentle on my skin and didnīt have obnoxious odors. I will definitely use it again and recommend it.
Thanks for a job made easier!

Simple Green Removed Black Streaks From Rain Gutters
I recently bought my first bottle of Simple Green All-Purpose to use on my aluminum gutters to clean of the black streaking. I read testimonials on your site stating that it took the black streaks off. Well, hereīs another testminonial! Simple Green removed the black streaks on my gutters - now they look brand new! I sprayed it on, lightly scrubbed with a nylon-mesh covered scrubbing sponge and rinsed. The gutters were spotless. Thank you!

Mother of 3 Loves Simple Green All Purpose Cleaner
I am a married mother of 3 children, ages 10, 8 and 3 years old. And I must say, that Simple Green has helped me out in so, so many ways. Iīve been a user of your products for several years now. I originally fell in love with Simple Green when I first discovered the wonders of your all purpose cleaner.
As I have mentioned, I am a mother of 3 children. And as most mothers know, keeping our childrenīs clothes looking new and free from stains can be a very difficult task. I often found myself shopping around, trying several stain removers only to be disapointed that none of them seemed to work when I noticed the stain had been set in when I pulled the clothing out of the dryer. Then one day, a friend of mine told me to try simple green. She said she usually threw some in her washing machine to help brighten her own clothes. So, feeling frustrated with the previous stain removers I had wasted my money on, I decided to give it a try. My first experience using Simple Green as a spot/stain remover was to remove those stubbon built up dirt stains that my boys would get after playing hard in the yard. I set the nozzle to foam, let it sit for about a minute, quickly scrub the stain and tossed it in the washing machine. What do you know… not only were the stains gone, but my kidīs clothes looked much brighter. Then I used it on grass stains. I got the same results. Blood stains… same results. Grease stains… same results!! I was elated at the sight of NO MORE STAINS on my childrenīs clothes. I also used it on my own clothes as well as my husbandīs. One night we had a small gathering at our house. Wine was being served and unfortunately, I spilled a little on some of my favorite WHITE pants. I was so sure that it was the end of those pants. Before I gave them up, I decided to try my trusty Simple Green. It couldnīt hurt just to try. Again, I sprayed the stain, let it sit, scrubbed as much of it out as I could, threw the item in the wash and sure enough, Simple Green did not let me down. Iīve even used Simple Green to help clean my make up brushes. It was then that I knew Simple Green would be a part of my life for the rest of my life.
To this day, I have not been let down. I continue to use Simple Green all purpose cleaner as well as your other products.
Simple Green scrubbing pads come in handy when my family goes on our camping trips. My husband and I love to use them for scrubbing our camping grill and washing our camping dishes. We also love the fact that it is safe for the environment.
My husband works for road improvement. Many times has he come home with tar stains on his hand and gook in his nails. Simple Green gel hand cleaner also works wonders on his hands.
When cleaning my childrenīs tennis shoes, I often fine that using Simple Green wipes are great at keeping them nice and bright.
In my home, we have a problem with hard water. I canīt begin to tell you how many times Iīve had to get in my shower to remove limescale in just one month. Simple Green limescale remover helps make my job much easier.
Iīve never been let down by your products. They have always helped me in my everyday life. Iīve saved lots of money but whatīs more, Iīve helped save the planet.
I love Simple Green! I talk about it to my family and friends about it ALL the time. So much that Iīve been told I should be a spokesperson for your wonderful product!
Thank you Simple Green!

Our Products Are Great - Will Share The News
Dear Simple Green Cleaning Products,
Just feeling the need to write a compliment letter to your company due to the awesome experience I encountered when I recently tried your cleaning products for the first time. I was amazed by how great they worked and how effective they were. In the past when I tried various other brands they didnt work as good and were too expensive. I feel that this is definitely not the case with your cleaning products and would like to tell you that no other brand can even come close in comparison.
From now on I plan on using your cleaning products for my home. Also, I am a PTA member and plan on using sharing my experience with your cleaning products with my fellow PTA members. We currently have a section of our meeting where we share recommendations for products and services that we value.
I respect your company and truly feel that you are an asset to the consumer world for making a product that not only works great but also saves us money.
I appreciate the time you have taken in reading this e-mail and look forward to both cherishing and sharing your products in the years to come.

Simple Green Stone Cleaner & Stone Polish Are Outstanding
I purchased your Stone Cleaner and Stone Polisher to use on my granite surfaces. Simply put, your products are outstanding. I rarely take the time to contact a manufacturer on their products; however, your products are so distinct in their performance that I felt compelled to do so. I recommend them to all of my family and friends. Great job to your engineering team.
Thank you,

Simple Green Saves Washing Machine
Long story short; $ 2000.00 front end high end washing machine…saved by $ 9.95 bottle of S/G!
Mildew smell in the washer, on the towels, on my children, on my skin…one application solved the problem!!! Seriously this is a HUGE problem…Otherwise the washer would be out on the street.
Maybe someone should tell the MFGīs about this so that they can retain their customers? I wouldnīt have believed it unless I tried it myself…Thanks so much!

Simple Green is amazing on Blood Stains
My 81 yr-old father-in-law lives in an assisted living facility for seniors. He fell down early yesterday morning, his head clipping the edge of a maple piece of furniture. He started bleeding profusely. Before they found him, he had lost nearly a pint of blood. His living room looked like a murder scene. After my husband dealt with the hospital and made sure his dad was stitched-up, stabilized and okay, I went to the apartment to clean up the mess. I stopped at the store to pick-up supplies the assisted living facility suggested. My carpet cleaner had a half a tankful of Simple Green in it (the ONLY cleaner I use for my carpets and rugs, especially with an infant and a preschooler)… I decided to try it first instead of dumping it. Ten hours had gone by since the accident, and the blood was dry and had oxydized on his lounger, couch, couch pillow, and there were dried pools of blood all over the carpet. To my amazement, Simple Green is the only cleaner I used. It was incredible! I didnīt even touch the other stuff that the facility had recommended. And yes, I always have a bottle on hand at my father-in-lawīs too! It made my life easier, even after 2 1/2 hours of "steam vac-ing". Thank you for such a wonderful product!

"Not only does it work 100% better…"
I recently ran out of granite cleaner and ran to Home Depot to get more. I didn't see my usual brand, so I bought the Simple Green granite cleaner. Not only does it work 100% better, I feel better using it since I am pregnant. Thanks for such a great product!

Simple Green Floor Adhesive Remover?
We had to remove commercial grade vinyl tile from our concrete floor in our basement. The old adhesive was stuck everywhere. I tried several different adhesive removers, including scraping with a floor scrapper. I found a sample bottle of Simple Green MAX™ Automotive Cleaner & Degreaser out in the garage and thought I would give it a try on the floor. I sprayed it on a little patch of floor, got my scrapper and the adhesive came off with no waiting time. I have since bought a larger bottle to do the entire floor!!! Thanks Simple Green!!

Simple Green Cleaned The Old Car Mats
One of the floor mats in my car had completely worn through and the other got saturated with motor oil (don"t ask). I checked the large department stores and car parts places but there was no OEM replacement available. I knew the manufacturer's replacement would be expensive. As a last resort I went to a local junk yard, Pick and Pull, where you can go in and get the exact parts you need from the junked cars on their lot. I found an original set with minimal wear but they were badly stained. But for two bucks, how could I go wrong? I applied Simple GreenŪ liberally, scrubbed well and rinsed. Amazing!!! Nearly new mats for way less than three dollars. I LOVE Simple Green.

Lipstick On Your Pants Pocket?
My fiance is 6" 11" and has to special order his clothes. He had ordered some beautiful linen light beige shorts. We were at a party and I asked him to hold my lipstick, which was a pretty bright pink. Well, we got home and he put his shorts to wash with other clothes. OOPS….I found them in the wash, all pink and horrible. These beautiful linen shorts had pink stains on the pockets, back side, all over them. I hid the shorts and in the morning called my sister. She said use Simple Green. That will take out anything. Well I did and they were cleaned. This is a true story and I have been a true friend of Simple Green since.

Wedding Gown Saved!
After my daughter's wedding in Las Vegas, the wedding party decided to go clubbing on the Strip. Unfortunately, one of the guests who had been kind enough to transport luggage for the Bridesmaids accidentally took the bag that had my daughter's party dress inside. My daughter then had no choice but to party on through the streets and clubs in her gown. Needless to say the bottom of the dress and train was black from dragging on the tile, sidewalks, and asphalt. I thought the dress was ruined.
My husband suggested trying Simple Green. I hung the dress on the back patio, sprayed the hemline, rubbed with a clothes brush, and hosed it off. The dress is just like new!!! Simple Green disolved all the black marks and saved the dress for another bride to wear. If you could have seen the before and after, you would not believe this is true…but it most surely is!

Dirt Bike Sparkles With Simple Green
My son races motocross and it can get very muddy! Sometimes if the mud has time to dry, it is very hard to get off. My husband just sprays the bikes down with Simple Green, waits a few minutes and then pressure washes the bikes…dirt comes right off and the bikes are cleaner than his buddies! Everybody always comments on how clean his bikes are! We now have all of our motocross friends using it to clean their bikes.

10 Years of Dirt
My uncle introduced my family to Simple Green when he owned a hardware store (this was in 1975). This became a household "staple" from that moment on. After I left home I continued the tradition by using it on anything and everything that needed cleaning. I recently pulled out my pressure washer and of course the Simple Green. I ran out before I could get to the driveway because I had given a friend a full bottle (the re-fill jug) to pressure wash his house. My driveway had not been pressure washed in about 10 years. I live in a small town and am limited to stores and each one of them were out of stock. Someone suggested another product and I did try it. It was a liquid and I had to mix in some water and Clorox, whereas, with S/G all I have to do is pour it into the pressure washer bottle. I am not going to say the other product didn"t work, but I ended up spending more money and time on something that didn"t perform better than Simple Green. My neighbor happened to come over a few days later and asked if I had any Simple Green he could borrow because he was pressure washing his carport and boat and ran out. I just happened to have bought a re-fill jug that day and gladly handed it over. I even offered him the other stuff that I had tried but he turned it down. That evening he returned my bottle and a full spray bottle…… I love your product, not only for the way it cleans, but for being environmentally safe. I have a 12 year old Cocker Spaniel (my daughter) that always has her oversized ears and cute little nose to the ground and she loves to lick. I know that if she does get some of this into her system it will not harm her. She gets to play outside with me while I work and that means a lot to me! Thanks for making my life a lot more "Simple"…..

Simple Green Fire Cleanup
Several years ago we had a kitchen fire which caused extensive damage to our kitchen and very heavy smoke damage to everything else in our home. After the fire, the Red Cross gave us information on how to clean our smoky smelling clothes. I don"t remember the "recipe" but it involved several washes with several cleaners. My wife and I were certain we would never get everything clean again. I have used Simple Green on my cars for years, and on a whim I added about 1/4 a cup to a load of smokey laundry with regular detergent. ONE WASH and the clothes were clean, and fresh smelling-no smoke odor at all. We were thrilled that we would not have to spend so much money on the all the "recipe" cleaners and could get it all cleaned in one wash. We have passed the information on to anyone we talk to with smoke oders that Simple Green is the true key to a thorough cleaning. Thanks for a truly amazing product that is also friendly to the environment!

Simple Green Gets Out Old Make-up Stains
I found the Simple Green website because I was searching the internet for a way to get out the red lipstick that my 2 year old daughter had smeared all over our sofa. Not only did Simple Green completely take out the lipstick stains, but I then decided to try it out on other things to see if it was really as good as the website was claiming! One of my "company" washcloths had old mascara stains all over it that had already been washed and dried several times. I had thought I would just have to buy a new one. It was the first thing I thought of to experiment on with the Simple Green. I sprayed all the stains directly with Simple Green and rubbed them a litte bit, then washed it in the machine as usual. Every stain came out! I am so excited to have such a useful product around the house, especially with toddlers around! I couldn"t wait to tell my story here and tell all my friends too!

Simple Green in Fallujah, Iraq
Dear Mr. FaBrizio,
My name is Ben Jacobson; I'm with 1st Recon Battalion here in Fallujah, Iraq. Through Glenn Hammer and Willa Porter, my platoon and company have received a ton of Simple Green products. What a great cleaner!
Yesterday, while getting our monthly sight count, I wiped down our optics and equipment with your Simple Green wetnaps, and the equipment looked brand new. Babywipes, our alternative, leave a soapy film that collects dust almost immediately. Simple Green took away the dirt and oil but left the surface dry. Today the equipment still looks new and nothing stays clean around here.
All the boys thank you, from my team to the higher-ups, for your support out here. Thank you, and Semper Fidelis.

Simple Green Saved My Dream Car!
Just under a year ago, I purchased my dream car. Since that day, I have prided myself on keeping the car show room new. The other day, I foolishly left a bottle of tire shine on the front seat while I was washing the car. When I went to get the bottle, I noticed it had leaked and caused a huge stain on my seat. I purchased a "guaranteed to work" stain remover in hopes to dissolve the stain. It did not even put a dent in the stain. I went on to purchase 5 other "stain removers" and "Oxy cleaners"and nothing worked. I was so upset, I could not even look at the seat each time I got into the car. A friend of mine suggested that I try Simple Green. I've always used Simple Green on my driveway and to wash the siding on my house.never would have thought to use it on my car seats. At that point, I had no other option. I followed the direction, sprayed it on my seat, gave it a light scrub and vacuumed up any excess. To be totally honest with you, I did not expect it to work. After the seat dried, to my surprise no trace of the stain; I could not believe it. I cannot thank you enough for Simple Green! You saved me from taking my car to a professional to get it cleaned. What a product! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Simple Green Saves Tote Bag
Years ago I loaned a fold-up tote bag to a young friend who was going to Greece. When she returned, there were terrible black splotches all over the tote that looked like grease. I threw the bag in the wash but a regular laundry wash didn"t touch the stains.
Fast forward a few years when I next saw the tote and I was ready to trash it. On a whim I sprayed it with full strength Simple Green, let it sit a while in the sink, then washed it by hand. All the aged greased spots were gone! And the bright blue tote is now clean and ready for my next trip.
I use Simple Green for most of my cleaning around the house. I typed up the cleaner to water ratios that I use the most and posted them inside a kitchen cabinet. Thanks for your great cleaning products!

Simple Green Renewed my Bathroom!
I moved into this house last August and it had been occupied by four college students. Needless to say, the bathroom AND kitchen were a disaster. I must have used a whole bottle of another cleaner in the bathroom shower and got fair results. I bought a bottle of Simple Green because my Uncle had always sworn by this cleaner. WELL…my bathroom, which remember was a complete disaster, is now sparkling and fresh! I must have scrubbed the soap scum and various other scum from the shower walls for an hour using that OTHER product. I still was unhappy with the results. I used Simple Green diluted to 1:10 and sprayed the walls. I let it sit for about 2 minutes, came back and all I had to do was wipe the scum away with a cloth! No scrubbing! I am amazed at the transformation! It also worked wonders on the stove top. It dissolved the grease almost on contact. I appreciate that it is also non-toxic and bio-degradable. I really do not need to buy another cleaning product for my home. Thanks Simple Green!

Algae-covered siding white again!
When we purchased our house six years ago, the detached garage/shop had mildewed siding on the north facing side. Since then, it had developed green algae growth along the entire north side. We tried washing it, but it always came back within a couple of weeks.
Last week, I had the pressure washer out to try to wash the garage again. My husband had to go get fuel for the compressor, so I picked up the bottle of Simple Green, and squirted it on the algae, just to see if it would help.
Needless to say, the wall is sparkling white again, and there is no sign of re-growth. And best of all, my hostas & peonies seem to be unaffected as well! Thank You!

No matter what I accidentally spill on my clothes, I know I can trust Simple Green to remove any stain.

Simple Green Cuts Caked-On Grease!
When we moved into our new house I realized there was A LOT of caked on grease on the stove and on the floor in front of the stove. It was awful, sticky to the touch, and definitely unsightly. My dad told me about Simple Green which I found was safe to use around my toddler and very budget friendly. I couldn"t believe how fast Simple Green took off the grease without much effort on my part. I now swear by this product and tell everyone about it! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, Simple Green

Simple Green Cleans Cross-Stitch In Progress
Just wanted to show you my Fire and Ice picture that took 3 years to complete.
Why so long? This was done with 1 thread over 1 thread. If you don"t stitch, what that means is where normally 1 crossed stitch would be, I have done 4 small crossed stitches. Some people say this looks like a painting. I will give it to my loving daughter just for being her.
[For cleaning a cross-stitch in progress.] I have used Simple Green diluted in cool water and washed the picture by dipping in solution in plastic tub. I rinsed with hand held spray and rolled in towel to dry somewhat. I then ironed on backside with cloth cover and the picture turned out just perfect.

Simple Green Cleans Dirty New Home
I became aware of your product while I was in the Air Force and have used it for years. My husband and I recently bought a 4-year-old home that looks like it is 25-years-old! It would appear that the house was never cleaned. It"s overwhelming. There is a lot of scrubbing to be done — on cabinets, windows, walls, floors, fixtures, kitchen, bathrooms. everywhere, and I can even use it in my laundry! I think if a person can only afford one household cleaning product, that they should buy Simple Green, because a little goes a long way and can be used on almost everything.

Simple Green Cleans Soiled Limestone
This past spring, we began the overwhelming task of cleaning the limestone on our motherhouse. Many household cleaners were tried, but none cut through the dirt and grime as easily and quickly as Simple Green. The surface to be cleaned was dampened with water, then Simple Green was applied full strength using a garden sprayer and allowed to soak in for approx. ten minutes. The limestone was then rinsed using a pressure washer. The results were amazing! The limestone was restored to its original appearance. Badly stained areas had to be treated differently, but the usual black dirt and grime came off easily without using harsh or caustic cleaners. I have related our experience to many people who are looking for a safe cleaner to remove dirt and grime. Simple Green is a wonderful product!

Simple Green Means Business
I have had my own janitorial service for the last ten years. Six years ago I moved to Oklahoma and began cleaning offices and work areas of the oil field business. VERY DIRTY and GREASY!!! Imagine oil and grease on walls, desks and especially on floors. After trying several types of cleaners, a friend mentioned trying Simple Green. Best suggestion ever for my business. The companies I take care of have told me how pleased they are with my work and how much cleaner their place of business is since I took over. Needless to say, my secret is Simple Green and it is my major cleaning supply. Of course, I have told others about it and they too, express their great satisfaction in this product. Anyways, thank you so much for a product that makes my job so much easier and makes my clients happy!

Simple Green — the SAFER Cleaner That Really Works!
I knew Simple Green was highly effective AND safe, but I didn"t realize just HOW much safer it is even than other "green" products! As a mom of three kids ages 6, 4 and 2, I am constantly cleaning. I found your product by chance some years ago on a supermarket shelf and so inexpensive! I was, and am still, ecstatic that I"ve found a safe alternative that I can actually afford AND that really works!
Well, during one of my cleaning marathons, I had just finished cleaning the mirrors in my living room and set the bottle of Simple Green glass cleaner on the floor for a minute while I attended to some "crisis" my four-year-old son was having.
I returned to the living room to find my 2 year old daughter spraying my couch with the bottle! She and my brand new couch were soaked! I had visions of huge bleached out spots on my couch, but then I remembered — whew! I used Simple Green! Once they dried, they actually looked better than before. I guess I should thank her?
About an hour later, I had just finished cleaning the dining room table with your all-purpose cleaner and, again set the bottle down for just a minute. When I came back into the room she was at it again! This time, she was squirting it directly into her mouth! This would have meant a trip to the hospital and a very scary ordeal for both of us, but thankfully, I had used Simple Green! Other than the not-so-pleasant taste, she had no reaction at all.
From now on, I promise to use the "off" position on the spray bottle. Meanwhile, you guys keep making your great products!

Simple Green Makes Quick Work out of BBQ Sauce Clean-Up
I was making a BBQ brisket in my crock-pot when the whole thing overflowed onto my kitchen stove and surrounding countertop. I tried to wipe up the mess with a dish rag, but only succeeded in making a bigger greasy mess. I sprayed the stovetop and surrounding counter with some diluted Simple Green and let it sit for about 3 minutes. I then took a sponge and wiped up the whole mess in less than 10 minutes.

Last Season"s Grease Stains
We deep fried a turkey for Thanksgiving; the fryer was set out on our red/black paving stones. It was a very windy day. When all was said and done we had ugly grease stains in about a 5-6" diameter. We live in northern Minnesota, there was snow on the ground and I wasn"t able to try clean the stones until spring. I tried everything from dish soap to oven cleaner, nothing worked. Then a co-worker, who is an ex-marine, suggested I try Simple Green. She said the Marines used it for EVERYTHING. Well, I poured the concentrate directly on the stones, brushed it around a bit and left it. A while later I came back and hosed it off and was I ever surprised to find the stains had disappeared!

Simple Green Saves New Carpet
I had never heard of Simple Green until last Friday night. I was having a party at my house, when I decided to do my friend"s nails. Unfortunately, I wasn"t paying attention as I was painting her nails, and the bottle of "red" polish tipped over and spilled all over my Berber carpet. I was devastated!!! We just recently had the carpet installed! I screamed for my husband (who is a maintenance man). He took one look at the mess, didn"t say a word, ran outside to his truck, and came back in with this cleaner and started spraying it on the polish mess. I was so upset; thinking nothing in the world is going to get red nail polish out of carpet. To my surprise — it worked!!!!! And I mean you can"t even see a hint of anything! I asked my husband what that was. He said "its Simple Green, I use it all the time!." I said "I ought to sell that stuff." He said "they already do!" What I meant was that my story would sell this product! Thank you so much!

Simple Green Saves a Khaki Skirt
A friend of mine accidentally sat in some kind of spilled make-up, leaving red stains across the back of her light khaki skirt. We tried to sponge them off with water, but they didn"t budge. "The skirt's ruined," they said, but I said, "I've got this great stuff at home in my cupboard; let me try to rescue this."
I took the garment home and sprayed it liberally with Lemon Simple Green. I rubbed at the stain with a damp cloth until the red had faded — it took only a few minutes. Then I tossed the skirt in the washer with the next load.
It came out spotless! By the end of the afternoon my friend was back in her skirt, and our other friends agreed that they needed to buy some Simple Green.

Simple Green Safe Around Pets!
My sweet miniature schnauzer dog has a terrible habit of biting and licking at her feet. One day I noticed she was very sick and acting very weird. I had just mopped my floors with one of "those" cleaners that we all see in the stores. My dog had walked across the wet floor and then licked her paws. I did not know at that time that those cleaners are toxic to animals. I took her to the vet immediately and now she is fine. Since that day I have used ONLY Simple Green on everything I clean including my floors. Simple Green being non toxic I don’t have to worry about my dog anymore. I have never seen any other cleaner clean the way Simple Green does. I will NEVER use anything else!! Thank you Simple Green!

Three months ago my husband and his friend bought a convenience store that had been closed for about 2 months and probably not cleaned in 10 years. To say the least, we all had our hands full and a lot of cleaning ahead of us!
There was fryer grease in every crack and crevice in the deli, old tape stuck to every window, 10 years of hand-dirt on every door handle, glue on the tile floor from where carpet had previously sat, shelving that had 10 years of dust, a walk-in cooler with years of old cottage cheese and milk on the floor, soda-pop coolers that had dried soda and last but no least, a freezer that had old ice cream stuck all over it.
I brought up a half of a bottle that I use at home and we started cleaning… went to the store and bought 5 more spray bottles (couldn’t find a larger size) and TA-DA! The convenience store is beautiful and doesn’t smell like bleach or any of the other cleaners out there that say they work, but really don’t, they just leave a smell.
The entire hill we live and work on (one way on and one way off) loves the new and improved store. The biggest compliment that we get is how clean it looks and smells.
Thank you Simple Green, my hands and heart (and the environment) love you!

Simple Green Travels Well
While attending the 2004 Calgary Stampede in Canada we were given sample bottles of Simple Green. We have been using it since then for our household and motor home cleaning of all sorts. Have told our friends and relatives about the many uses for Simple Green.

Simple Green Cleans Axle Grease
I unknowingly got axle grease on the back of my jacket and got back inside my Cadillac. When I got home and got out of the car, I noticed that there was grease smeared ALL OVER the back of the cloth car seat! I took off my coat and saw that it was all over the back of it as well! I almost died because it was covered with big chunks of the black grease. I sprayed it with full strength simple green and wiped with a warm wet cloth. It came completely out! I could not believe it. I sprayed it full strength on my jacket and laundered as usual. It came out as well.
Above and beyond my pleasure in getting the grease out, is knowing that the product I use is safe for my family and our environment. This is why I originally purchased the product.

Simple Green Great for Stove Top
I just wanted to tell you what a great product you have! I used to hate cleaning my gas stove top until I tried your Simple Green Multi-purpose cleaner. It cuts grease like nothing I've ever seen! I used to use another product but it just doesn’t do the job. With Simple Green I can literally spray it and wipe the grease away in one stroke. And I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw that it is non-toxic AND biodegradable. And with the floral fresh scent it doesn’t even smell like a cleaner! I feel safe using Simple Green in the kitchen and around my kids. Thank you!

Wonders of Heavy-Duty Towels
I'm a drama teacher — the teens I teach are prone to creating messes as they build or sets & paint our props…while preparing for our last show, some of the kids accidentally painted our carpet with large black thick globs of paint, 45 minutes later I discovered the mess, and tried the Simple Green Heavy Duty wipes…they worked, even on the dried spots! No trace of the mess, happy students, happy teacher, happy principal. The only problem, I can’t find the Heavy Duty towels anywhere now!

Simple Green Works Miracle on Vinyl Windows!
I purchased your household spray cleaner at my local hardware store for the first time. My task was to clean my white vinyl windows. They had accumulated lots of dirt and grass stains. A job I expected to take 5 to 6 hours was cut in half due to Simple Green. I did less rubbing with this product, than with any cleaner I have used in the past. From now on this will be the only cleaner I will use. Keep up the good work.

Haze On Porcelain Floor Tile
I installed fairly expensive floor tile in the first floor of our house and grouted it with a brand name premixed grout from the local big box home improvement center. There was a haze that dried onto the tiles and made them sticky and slightly changed the color to white from light brown.
After emailing the grout manufacturer, they suggested using Simple Green in a 70/30 mix, 70% Simple Green and 30% water. It worked GREAT with a light scrubbing and a cold water mopping rinse — the sticky feeling is gone and now it’s kind of cool watching our dog slide down the hall.
Thanks for a great product!

Simple Green on Rain Gutters and More
I've been using Simple Green for quite a while as it works very well cleaning latex painted surfaces and is an excellent grease cutter (gas grill or charcoal grill). I have a newer travel trailer that developed the usual black streaks and a friend said Simple Green works on removing them as well. I used it on the trailer aluminum, rubber roof and even the pull out awning and it did a fine job.
I've also had these black rain gutters since I moved in the house 5 years ago. I tried everything to remove them, Jo max, Aluminum Cleaner, Clorox cleanup, you name it, I tried it. It occurred to me that since it worked on my travel trailer maybe it would work on my gutters. I had my ladder out checking for storm damage and thought I'd give it a try. I applied it full strength with a car wash bug sponge to a test area and was amazed as it dissolved the black instantly.
To clean blackened rain gutters or black streaks on your travel trailer:
Put 1 or 2 inches of full strength Simple Green in a small bucket. Use a small sponge (car wash bug rag) to absorb it and wring it slightly. Apply to the black area and don’t do over a 2 or 3 foot section at a time. Keep rubbing it and keep it wet and watch it dissolve. Don’t let it dry and rinse immediately. You may have to repeat once if your gutters were as black as mine.

Simple Green Saves Marble Floor
My husband and I had just spent $ 2000 having our marble floors stripped and polished…….one week later, a pot of coffee overflowed onto the kitchen floor. Because the coffee maker was on an automatic timer, the spill remained on the marble for an hour. I tried to clean it up, but there was a large black stain remaining. In desperation, I went looking for a cleaner that was safe to use on marble. The only product in the store that fit the bill was Simple Green. I had very little hope that the stain would come up without using a "specialized" product. To my amazement, Simple Green got the stain out entirely….with only one application! Thanks for a great product. You saved my $ 2000 marble finish!

Military Man Trusts Simple Green
Since being introduced to Simple Green while in the military I have been using it for everything…you need to clean a motor?…Simple Green it….got pet stains?…Simple Green it…well I have a new one for you.
The other day my girlfriend and I were out camping in Tennessee and decided to take a walk. You have to understand what she was wearing — a hand-made and dyed dress. Well she slipped and cut her hand on a rock, and then she accidentally grabbed her dress before she realized she was bleeding and stained it pretty good…I keep some Simple Green with all my camping gear and decided.. .well, it works on everything else — I'd give it a try.
Here's the results: my girlfriend is no longer in tears and the dress is 100 percent as good as new. We love the product and use it all the time.

Amazing Results on New Beige Carpet
I have been a long-time Simple Green user because of an incident that happened many years ago. We had just installed brand new wall to wall beige carpeting in our family room. My son spilled an entire glass of grape juice on the carpet. I was so upset. How in the world would I ever get out grape juice? The carpet was ruined!
I had just purchased my first bottle of Simple Green, so I decided to try it on the stain. I really thought that it was a waste of time, but I had to at least make an attempt to salvage my new carpet. I first used old towels to soak up as much liquid as possible, using pressure to get into the padding. Once the area was as dry as I could get it, I sprayed Simple Green over the purple stain and blotted, using pressure to absorb the product. I followed it up by sponging and blotting with clean water.
I honestly was amazed that the stain came out! Simple Green did such a good job that you couldn’t tell where the juice had spilled. My new carpet was salvaged and I became a die-hard fan of this wonderful product. It has saved the day many times in the years that followed. I never miss an opportunity to sing its praises.

Simple Green Cleans Up After Hurricane Katrina
I have always loved the cleaning action of Simple Green and used it for my daily everyday cleaning. It really got a workout though last year and came through beautifully. Hurricane Katrina directly hit my city of Biloxi and caused so much damage to homes, including my own. After getting over the shock of the initial devastation the next hurdle was cleaning up. I admit I was overwhelmed at the thought of cleaning so much both big and small. There were no stores open so getting supplies was almost impossible. I looked under my cabinet and there were all my Simple Green products. I was not sure they would work on such a big job but to my surprise and relief they worked perfectly! They cleaned up everything from my sink to my tub and even cleaned all the dirt, mud and debris from my stone steps and walkway! They even cleaned our car which had really taken a beating. Simple Green made even the toughest cleaning challenge simple and I am so grateful for products which you know you can rely on no matter what the cleaning challenge may be.

Removes Dried Blood Stains
When my son was a senior in High School and riding Saddle Broncs in rodeos he was bucked forward and kicked in the head by his bronc. Of course head wounds bleed profusely and it was 36 hours after the fact before we could take him home from the hospital and I could try to get the dried blood out of the baby blue shirt he was wearing. I tried everything until the neighbor said to try full strength Simple, and lo and behold the dried blood stain was gone from the shirt. Thank you!

Simple Green: The Uniform Solution
My son is a defensive lineman for the local Varsity High School team, which means he comes home after each game with grass stains like I have never seen before. I soak the pants in Simple Green, rub them a little and wash. I was surprised to see his pants were the whitest -- he stood out from all the other 47 players because his pants were so white! Thanks Simple Green! I only wish I knew of Simple Green while my other 2 kids were playing baseball, softball and soccer!

Simple Green Conquers Road Grime
I work for a concrete hauling company. Occasionally, one of the trucks will break down, or we service them ourselves. Needless to say, a six wheel drive truck that spends half of its time off the road tends to get grimy underneath. My pants & shirt looked like they were ready to be burned. Instead, I sprayed Simple Green on them, & tossed them into the washer. My pants look like new.

Grandma Saves the Day
My grandson was in serious trouble with his mother when he came in with new pants looking like they did before I went to work with my Simple Green. I sprayed them good with full-strength Simple Green and soaked them over night — and PRESTO!
My Daughter & I clean homes for a living and I just have to buy Simple Green for every household.
We recently cleaned the steps in our condo and others want me to buy them some. I only shop at Sam's.

Golfer's Mom Saves Uniforms
I'm writing this letter to let your company know what a great product I think Simple Green All Purpose Cleaner is. I've used it for quite a while and have always had good results, but my last battle with stains led me to believe that I must let your company know of my success.
The story begins with our son who is a senior in college and plays on the varsity golf team there. He was doing his laundry one night as he usually does and after washing his clothes which included all of his golf polo shirts (which are supplied by the college), his dress golf shorts, a brand new dress shirt, and numerous other articles of clothing, he proceeded to dry them in the dryer. When he went to remove them from the dryer (a full cycle) he realized that he had left a bright green gel pen in one of his pockets. To his dismay the gel pen had exploded in the dryer, leaving all of his clothes looking as if they had been shot repeatedly with a paint ball gun, or had been the result of a terrible tie-dye job. He called home to let me know what had happened and to tell me that he had thrown everything in the trash. I instructed him to retrieve all of the clothes and bring them home the next time he was here. He brought them home and I could not believe my eyes. The clothes appeared to be totally ruined. I didn’t imagine that I would ever get all of the stains out. Simple Green was my answer. I saturated the clothes with full-strength cleaner and then soaked them in cold water for several hours. I have to be honest; I counted on the cleaner only dimming the stains; I never thought I would get the great results that I did! Every stain was totally gone!!! I laundered everything and each piece looks as if nothing ever happened to them. I was very happy about the results, and our son was amazed and delighted! I have told the story over & over, encouraging others to try your product.
I know sometimes companies hear only negative stories and I felt like mine was too good to let go untold. I hope Simple Green continues to be available for years to come and I thank you for making such a good product.

Found More Uses For Extreme Simple Green
I have just had an opportunity to use your new product named Extreme Simple Green for Aircraft. What a GREAT product!!! I have found more uses for Extreme Simple Green on my recreational vehicle and boat then I could possible list. When I think about it, I should not be suprised. Many RV's and boats use aluminum and are constructed much the same as aircraft. I really think you are missing the boat (no pun intended) in two major markets by not advertising how useful Extreme Simple Green is on travel trailers and boats. Your new product should be named Extreme Simple Green for Aircraft, Recreational Vehicles & Boats. Thanks for a GREAT product.

Lipstick on White Sofa
I have to tell you how much I love Simple Green. I had seen it before in stores and passed it over for more expensive "brand names." I thought how good can it really be? Then I got a free sample at a baby fair. That night my 2 year old got bright red lipstick and smeared it all over my white sofa!! I tried every product I had in the house and only made it worse. Later, while cleaning out the diaper bag I found the sample of Simple Green. I tried it thinking it couldn’t hurt. All of sudden the lipstick vanished before my eyes! I then went all over my house getting out dirt and stains that I thought were permanent. I love this stuff and have thrown out all my other cleaning products! Thank you so much.

"Motorcross Mama's" Job Much Easier
My two boys and husband are motorcross riders and come home nearly every weekend with filthy, dirty, muddy uniforms. I had tried and tried to get the dirt out and just couldn’t.

Black Streakings, Mold & Mildew Cleaned From Rain Gutters
I am a house painter and at times our customers ask us to do other jobs as well as paint. On this one particular job we were asked to clean the black streaking off of the aluminum rain gutters and other aluminum surfaces. They had a bottle of Simple Green so we gave it a try. The results were unbelievable. Not only did it remove all the black weather markings but also the mold and mildew. After using Simple Green on the job I had to try it on my rain gutters that were installed in the early 1980's. I tried a test patch and it came out white and shiny. I couldn’t believe that after 20 years that I would see white again.

Deep Cleans Old Canning Jars, Safe for Septic Tank
My sister and I do massive amounts of canning each year. Because we do so much we are always getting canning jars wherever we can. Out of basements, attics, garages, wherever. The only thing we have ever found to clean these old dusty jars is bleach. However, bleach wreaks havoc on my septic tank. Simple Green works absolutely fantastic on even the nastiest grime in these jars and doesn't bother the septic tank one bit.

Removes "Permanent" Stains from 1923 Home
My husband and I recently bought a historical 1923 home. It came with most of the original fixtures. The large deep bathtub seemed like a dream until I tried to clean it. Years of mineral deposits and staining were giving a very dirty appearance even though I know I had cleaned it. I thought I was going to have to live with it. In almost a joking manner, I splashed some Simple Green on the "permanent" stains. Whooosh! They were gone. I ran to my 1923 ceramic tiled counter tops, which I bleached on a daily basis. I was astonished Simple Green worked as well as bleach but with no fumes. I have a 21-month old and a one-month old so I love the mildness of this product. I plan to clean everything with this.

Husband's Ink Pen Went Through The Wash
My husband left an ink pen in his pants pocket and I accidentally washed and dried the load of laundry with the pen still in the pocket. The pen cap came off and marked all of the clothes. Looking for anything to help the situation, I grabbed anything that was near to try to save the clothes. I tried numerous products and nothing worked. I then tried Simple Green and scrubbed. One spot came out. I kept scrubbing and they all came out. I use Simple Green to wash my car, clean my kitchen and have always liked it. But you really won me over with the ink stain!

I am a retired Southern California fireman and have been using your product for about 25 years. Simple Green is the best and safest environmental cleaning product I have ever used. It can be used safely on the fire trucks without worrying that there will be any damage to the paint or rubber. I am also an automobile detailer. Simple Green is, again, the best. Unlike other products I have used, I can count on Simple Green not to damage expensive wheels and to clean engine compartments without any damage to paint, plastics or rubber products.
