If you know much about Speed Cleaning, you know that nothing makes sense in this system without an apron. It saves more time than all the other products combined. It carries the supplies and tools that allow you to “walk around the room once and you’re done.” Be sure to wear it when cleaning – start to finish. The Clean Team uses our own special aprons with seven pockets, loops for your Red Juice and Blue Juice, and it fits securely around your waist. Wear it every time you clean! Three of those pockets are dedicated to these three important tools: the toothbrush, razor-blade holder, and scraper. This toothbrush is actually not recommended for your teeth at all, but it’s the handiest brush we’ve seen for getting into tight places fast – like the areas around faucet handles, tile grout, impossible nooks and crannies on stovetops, light switches, etc. You’ll be amazed at how often a spot will not respond to wiping but will come right up when agitated with a brush and a cleaning agent like Red Juice. This is a serious cleaning tool, not an old toothbrush. The razor-blade holder is great for soap scum on shower doors, paint splatters on glass, and baked-on food on oven windows and surfaces of appliances. The one we use has a three-position blade for added safety. Occasionally, you will encounter mysterious globs that are difficult to remove with the toothbrush – like petrified lumps of pancake batter or squished raisins. This is a job for the scraper. They can easily be removed in seconds with a scraper. We us a 1 1/2-inch-wide tough, durable polystyrene scraper that won’t scratch surfaces. A fourth pocket in the apron is used as temporary storage for debris you encounter while cleaning. This saves extra trips to the trash. Use a gallon-size Ziploc storage bag as a liner and heavy duty paper clips to keep it in place, or just purchase some of our apron pocket liners, made specifically for our aprons.Once you get in the habit of wearing an apron stocked with your handy cleaning tools, you won’t want to clean without it – it’s all about speed cleaning, right?

Many of the Speed Cleaning™ customers rave about Red Juice, and we want to tell you all about it and why it is "rave" worthy! Shortly after starting The Original Clean Team, the "team" was on a hunt for a non-irritating general-purpose cleaner. The grocery-shelf cleaners made most of us cough, especially in confined spaces. We ended our search with a unique product from Oregon.It's no accident that our Speed Cleaning™ Red Juice is environmentally safe. It was designed to be that way. Dirt clings to surfaces like stretched elastic membrane. Without getting into too much chemistry, Red Juice is basically a unique blend of surfactants - compounds that reduce the surface tension of the goop clinging to surfaces. The surfactants in Red Juice bread this surface tension and allow the dirt to float away. The surfactants in Red Juice are derived from sea kelp, among other things. What is not in it is also important: it lacks the surfactant in many janitorial and retail general-purpose cleaners - something called Butyl Cellosolve. According to California law, it is listed as a "chemical contaminant" and described as being easily absorbed through the skin. (Maybe that's why it irritates the lungs so quickly.) It injures the kidneys and liver, irritates the eyes and mucous membranes, and is listed as "very toxic" by an established textbook on toxicology. Needless to say, we were delighted to find a cleaner that didn't contain a drop of Butyl Cellosolve. Red Juice has the USDA's hughes approval classification (A-1), meaning that it can be used on equipment in which food is made and on all surfaces of meat and dairy plants. It is nontoxic, odorless, and quickly and easily biodegradable (in 4 to 7 days). Red Juice cannot be registered as a disinfectant because it lacks "kill-ability" (thank goodness). It does not kill living cells on contact. But it cleans so well that bacteria and fungi have just about nothing to feed on, so the microbe count after cleaning a surface is close to zero. So, now you know all about our wonderful Red Juice, and why you can be proud to use it!  Learn more about Red Juice with 14 Unique Uses for Red Juice.

With Halloween knocking on your door in a few weeks, we thought it would be fun to find out whether your cleaning products are TRICKING or TREATING you. But what do we mean by that? Well, if you’re cleaning with conventional cleaning products you may want to think twice about using them because they can contain toxic ingredients—something we consider as tricking you. Don’t believe us? Check out their labels, which are required by law to indicate when the products contain harmful ingredients, ranging from “Caution,” “Warning,” to “Danger.” Toxic chemicals in conventional cleaners can be immediate problems—causing skin rashes, breathing problems, chemical burns or watery eyes—or long term hazards causing cancer, compromised immune systems, and more. But if you’re using eco-friendly cleaning products like those we offer, then we consider them to be treating you because they are not endangering the health of you, your family, your pets, or the environment. So grab your flashlight and let’s go door to door (or cabinet to cupboard) to find out! All-purpose cleaner Trick? Some all-purpose cleaners contain sudsing agents that can react with nitrites to form carcinogens your skin can absorb. Your skin also easily absorbs nerve-damaging butyl cellosolve which is present in some cleaners. Your lungs can be hurt by fumes from ammonia-containing cleaners. And bleach is highly caustic and should never be mixed with any product containing ammonia or acids, or toxic gases will result. Yikes! or Treat? If you’re using our eco-friendly Speed Cleaning™ Red Juice then consider yourself treated. The degreaser in Red Juice is made from seaweed (what’s more natural than that?!) and other all natural ingredients such as soybean extracts.  Red Juice is pH neutral, non toxic, unscented and completely biodegradable. Glass cleaner Trick? Some glass cleaners contain the nerve-damaging butyl cellosolve and many contain ammonia, which can irritate your lungs and release toxic gases if accidentally mixed with cleaning products that contain chlorine. or Treat? Our Speed Cleaning™ Blue Juice is great for glass and mirrors. Blue Juice is non toxic, odor free, environmentally friendly, biodegradable, unscented, and all natural. You will not miss using the toxic version of this that’s available in your local supermarket—our Blue Juice is fast and effective on glass, mirrors, and polished metals. Oven cleaner Trick? Many oven cleaners contain lye and sodium hydroxide which can burn your skin and eyes. And aerosol spray oven cleaners can easily be inhaled into your lungs. or Treat? Our Pumice Stick w/ Handle works through gentle abrasive action to clean your oven. It's remarkable how fast it removes caked on deposits from your oven without scratching the surface. It also works magic on toilet bowl rings, removes carbon build-up on grills, and removes paint and graffiti from tile, concrete, and masonry walls. Bathroom cleaner Trick? One of the worst culprits in toxic cleaners are the conventional toilet bowl cleaners which contain ingredients that irritate your eyes, skin, and lungs. Some contain sulfates which can trigger asthma attacks, and many contain sodium hydroxide, bleach, or phosphoric acid which irritates lungs and burns eyes and skin.  or Treat? Our Speed Cleaning™ Scum Bum is a highly effective green cleaner that gently dissolves even the toughest mineral deposits, hard water stains, and soap scum. It also removes mold and mildew.So how’d you do? We hope you ended up with more treats than tricks, but you can always remedy that by shopping from our extensive catalog of eco-friendly cleaning products. When you focus on green cleaning, you’re helping to keep your own environment and the world’s environment free of harmful chemicals. What’s healthy for you and your family is the best choice for everyone on the planet.

Pumice Stick with Handle One of the questions we're asked most often is, "How do I get that ugly ring out of the bathroom toilet bowl?" The answer is a pumice stick. It's remarkable how fast it removes scale, rust, hard water and mineral deposits from porcelain without scratching the surface. Just wet the ring, rub the pumice stick on it gently, and the ring is GONE! It's also great to use on ovens, grills and iron cookware.

Ultimately we went to a dairy farm to find the ultimate tile scrubbing brush.  This excellent brush has stiff, angled, synthetic bristles to scrub bathroom tile and grout at the same time. Removes dirt and grime plus mild and mildew. ### So next time you're ordering your supply of red juice, consider these unique professional cleaning supplies designed to make you a true master of Speed Cleaning.
