Spray Nine^® FAQ's

• Can I use this product to clean my air conditioner?
  Spray Nine^® can be used effectively on the exterior only. Do not apply Spray Nine ® on the coils and do not allow to dry on the surface. We do not recommend this product for areas that cannot be properly rinsed.
   
• Can I clean stains from my carpet with this product?
  Yes, Spray Nine^® is excellent at treating stains on carpet and clothing. However, be sure to spot test on an inconspicuous portion of the fabric to determine colorfastness and surface integrity before use.
  
  

For Carpets:

1. Immediately soak up as much liquid as possible and remove any solid soils.
2. Spray stains / soils with Spray Nine^®.
3. Tap with a soft bristled brush and blot with a clean cloth or towel. Do not scrub as this can harm the fibers and further embed the stain into the carpet.

For Clothing:

1. Spray stains / soils and tap with an old toothbrush.
2. Immediately put clothing into the washing machine.

• Does Spray Nine^® still kill HIV-1?
  Yes, the product still kills HIV-1, the virus associated with AIDS. We no longer include our "kills HIV-1" statement on retail packages; however, Spray Nine^® in those packages retains this benefit (with scientific documentation available to back the claim). We still carry the claim on labels for our industrial sizes.
   
• Can I use this product to kill germs on myself, pets, livestock or other animals?
  No, Spray Nine^® is not intended for personal or veterinary use. Contact with eyes and prolonged contact with skin should be avoided.
   
• Can I clean wood kitchen cabinets with this product?
  No, we do not recommend using the product on wood surfaces since many wood surfaces have been treated, and Spray Nine^® may remove the finish.

Power Kleen FAQ's

• What does low emulsifying mean?
  Low emulsifying solutions like Power Kleen cause oily soils, such as grease, to separate more completely from water. When used in conjunction with oil/water separators and other pollution abatement systems, more grease from the rinsate rises to the top of the tank. This allows for a better skim that provides easier recycling and greater reclamation of grease.
   
• What does a low pH mean, and why does it matter?
  The pH scale ranges from 0 (strong acid) to 7 (neutral) to 14 (strong base [alkaline]). Many cleaning products traditionally fall in the strong alkaline range (12-13). This helps ensure strong cleaning results. Power Kleen is alkaline, but it features a milder pH (9.8) This makes it safer to the user, surface and environment. Power Kleen's ability to clean like a high pH alkaline solution, yet feature a safer, milder pH is achieved through "buffered alkalinity."
