Top 10 Speed Cleaning™ Products of 2020

by Amy Sardone on Aug 07, 2024
Oh, what a year it has been!Twenty-twenty is a year we will never forget.  It is difficult to remember a time when we were more anxious to see the calendar flip to a new year.   But before we do, we wanted to take one last, brief look back at the year that was for Speed Cleaning™.  In 2020, we saw a renewed emphasis on the importance of cleaning and sanitizing.   "Clean" and "healthy" , in many ways, became synonymous.  Cleaning professionals received a new addition to their job description: "Essential".  The Top 10 Speed Cleaning™ products of 2020 include a mixture of historically popular products and several new additions that reflect how our lives changed during a pandemic.The Top 101. Speed Cleaning™ Red Juice Concentrate (32 oz. bottle) Red Juice is the all-time best selling Speed Cleaning™ product since The Clean Team Catalog was first launched in 1989.  In fact, it is so popular it makes this list twice (concentrate and ready-to-use)!2. Original Speed Cleaning™ Apron Speed Cleaning™ aprons are another all-time best-seller.  Our exclusive Cleaning Apron is the first and most important secret to getting housecleaning over with quickly- the ultimate cleaning tool belt. Specialized pockets and loops mean everything you need is right there with you.3. Speed Cleaning™ Mixing Bottles 16 oz. It is difficult to imagine Red Juice Concentrate consistently maintaining the #1 spot without the mixing bottles used to make the Ready-to-Use Red Juice also making the Top 10.4. Speed Cleaning™ Premium Cotton Cleaning Cloths Cheaper than paper towels and easier to sanitize and re-use than sponges, our Cotton Cleaning Cloths are another stalwart for cleaning professionals.  In 2020, this item increased in popularity as disposable alternatives became increasingly more difficult to find in stores.5. Sani-Spritz Spray One-Step Disinfectant - Cleaner (Ready to Use) 32 oz. WITH SPRAYEROnce COVID-19 hit our shores, it seemingly took all of 30 seconds for there to be a shortage of effective disinfectants available.  We'll long remember the images of empty grocery store shelves and all of the news stories questioning what worked and what didn't.  Therefore, it is no surprise that the Sani-Spritz Spray makes this list despite not even being in the catalog the entire year.6. Speed Cleaning™ Toothbrush (3 Pack) Perhaps one of the most under-rated cleaning tools used by professionals is the toothbrush.  If you haven't added one to your tool kit yet, read our article "20 Unique Ways a Toothbrush Can Help You Clean Your Home".7. Speed Cleaning™ Natural Mixing Bottles Extra mixing bottles are always handy to have around.   Its no coincidence that this item grew in popularity just as store shelves emptied and it became increasingly more difficult to find many cleaning supplies.8. Speed Cleaning™ Red Juice Concentrate (32 oz.) and Mixing Bottle w/Sprayer Unofficially known as the Red Juice Starter Kit, Red Juice makes its 2nd appearance on the list except this time bundled with a mixing bottle.9. Speed Cleaning™ Whisk Broom Effective cleaning is in the details and the Speed Cleaning™ Whisk Broom is the ultimate tool for getting into those hard to reach places.10. Speed Cleaning™ Scum Bum 32 oz. Refill Stuck-on scale and hard-water deposits can test even the most seasoned cleaner.  The environmentally friendly Scum Bum is absolutely the best solution that gently dissolves even the toughest scale, mineral deposits, hard water stains and soap scum. It even removes mold and mildew!

What's the BEST Mother's Day Gift? A Clean House!

by Amy Sardone on Aug 07, 2024
Mother’s Day is NEXT Sunday, which means that kitchens across the nation will be getting more of a workout than usual as breakfast in bed is served up to Mom by the little ones. Here are some tips for cleaning up the kitchen the Speed Cleaning way once the kids are finished making their delicious mess and while Mom is getting ready for her special day. How to clean your kitchen like a professional – a guide for loving partners  Don’t waste time “coming back” to any area, but be sure everything gets cleaned the first time around when you make your way from left to right in the kitchen.  So, is this your first time cleaning? You might want to pop on your handy cleaning apron to get this done in the shortest amount of time. Place trash containers out of the room.  Clean your way around the kitchen, moving from left to right and working from high to low.  Start with cupboards above the counter, cleaning fingerprints around the handles. Use an all-purpose spray and wipe dry with a microfiber cloth.  Work from back to front and spray then wipe the countertop, getting rid of that sticky pancake residue the kids left behind. Move items to clean beneath them. That’s right, pick up the toaster and clean underneath it, wiping away all those crumbs.  Work from high to low around the kitchen, wiping away dust on the floorboards and cobwebs on the ceiling.  Check for sticky fingerprints on the edge of the door frame or refrigerator handles.  Spray and wipe the area above the stove, then clean the stovetop and the middle of the stove. Don’t forget to clean the front of the stove, too.  Finish your trip around the kitchen at the sink. Clean above the rim of the sink with an all-purpose cleaner and cloth, and then use powdered cleaner on the bowl of the sink.  Finally… the floor! Sweep or vacuum the floor to get the debris, then mop the floors to get rid of any sticking substances or spills.

Cleaning Supplies as a Gift? You Bet!

by Amy Sardone on Apr 16, 2024
When it comes to gift-giving, a collection of cleaning supplies can be both useful and kind of fun to receive. Yes, cleaning supplies can make a nice gift, especially when artfully packaged. Just the right color bucket, a little paper filler, a coordinated bow – voila! For a new neighbor:  Keep it simple and safe with a small collection of green cleaning supplies in a pail or basket. You could include a bottle of cleaning vinegar (found in the cleaning products aisle, or regular vinegar), a small box of baking soda, a colorful empty spray bottle, and a colorful microfiber cloth. Another great green cleaner is Speed Cleaning’s Red Juice. Your neighbor would thank you for introducing this product if they’re not already familiar with it! For a humorous touch, include a tag that says, “Welcome, new neighbor! I don’t know what to do with all this. If you don’t either, we should get along just fine.” For a new mom, maybe someone who’s an acquaintance that you just want to give a little something to, the above non-toxic, green cleaning supplies would make a nice gift as an alternative to the usual baby items. For someone moving out on their own for the first time:  Include all of the above supplies in a good-size bucket with the addition of a grout brush, soft-scrubbing cleanser like Speed Cleaning’s Pro Scrub (no bleach, won’t scratch, and smells so fresh!), glass cleaner, a few eraser sponges, and a feather duster. (A high-quality feather duster has ostrich-down feathers, not tight and stiff, neon-colored chicken feathers. Those dusters might be cute, but they just move the dust around!) Additional items you could include in a cleaning supplies gift basket, bucket, or caddy could be a cute or cool apron, rubber gloves, and an iTunes gift card for downloading some great music to listen to while cleaning. We hope we’ve inspired you to consider a gift of cleaning supplies in the future. Everyone has their cleaning favorites – be sure to include yours to make your gift perfect!
