How is Spectrum different from other cleaners on
the market ?
Spectrum is a blend of high performance
surfactants (detergents), multiple safe solvents, and multiple Ph
builders. Rather than heavy caustics and/or heavy solvents, this
product is designed so that all components work together to maximize
cleaning efficiency. We use detergents developed by Shell
Chemical®, and outperform those costing twice as much. Multiple
solvents are used and are based upon years of testing in industrial
environment. It would be much simpler to reduce components,
however performance suffers.

Does Spectrum have an odor?
Spectrum has a clean - fresh odor that is
a natural byproduct of the safe alchol solvent used. Because of
our formula, it produces a slight alchol smell. No perfumes or
fragrances are added to our product - absolutely not needed.

Blown textured ceilings, how does this product
clean them?
Acoustical Textured or Popcorn type ceilings are
cleaned and brightened by mixing Spectrum + Standard 3% Hydrogen Peroxide,
then adding water. It is this combination of the oxidizing
agent and cleaner together, that makes it work. The ceiling is sprayed with a light
mist, making sure it is uniformly coated
and not saturated. When dried, your ceiling will be clean
and
white
again. Drop ceilings are cleaned in this same manner - simply blot
dry the metal tracks. Note: Test a single tile to check for
chemical reaction / color fastness before doing entire area.

Can I use this product on my acoustical popcorn ceiling?
Yes, Spectrum can be used to remove stains, plus
complete ceiling cleaning, no mater what the material. You lightly
spray the ceiling formula onto your textured popcorn ceiling - mixture
is absorbed into material. Cleaning is done via the oxidation
process - ceiling material is not touched. The popcorn ceiling
material will not release from drywall when used as
directed. Tough stains, such as
water spots, may require pre-treating to remove - Full pamphlet instructions are
included.

Will Spectrum take out water spots?
While this is tough, yes this product will take
out water spot stains stains, but will require pre-treating multiple
times. Stain has to sprayed with Heavy Duty Solution - allow mixture to work for 1 hour
or longer. Then re-spray surface with ceiling mixture and allow it to
work.
If after a couple of hours the stain has not completely
disappeared, then repeat this process. Note: Blown
textured popcorn ceilings should be allowed to dry completely prior to
repeating this process. Full instructions for cleaning water spots
is included in our pamphlet.

Is this product safe around furniture and carpets?
Spectrum is made to be as safe as possible, yet
do the job. We recommend draping a plastic drop cloth over your
furniture - this will prevent any cleaning action on your furniture
pieces. The fine spray that lands on your carpeting will do no
damage to the fibers. Mixture that comes into contact with wooden
furniture or molding should be wiped up with clean dry cloth

Multiple
cleaners - how is this done?
Our literature includes complete instructions on
doing this. Most cleaning applications involve mixing our
concentrate with water. Spectrum has the unique ability of also
being safely mixed with household bleach or white vinegar or hydrogen
peroxide. Each of these mixtures creates a totally different
cleaning solution. Full
details are included with
orders. As an example, when mixed with hydrogen peroxide, this
cleaner does an excellent job on acoustical textured & dropped ceilings
- where you cannot agitate the surface. Solution oxidizes (burns
up) the dirt and stains - works great where cigarette smoke or kitchen
grease has discolored surface.

Laundry stains, does this product work on them? Spectrum works great on laundry stains. Inks,
grease, oil, lipstick, makeup, dried blood, grass stains plus a host of
others, are all easily removed with this product. The superior
wetting ability of our cleaner, penetrates stains to easily lift them
during wash cycle. Consumers with kids love this product.
