How to clean "green" - Delphis Eco Part 2

We recently discussed some of the benefits of using the Delphis Eco range of green cleaning products. This range of cleaning chemicals is great to use and here are some more benefits:

The Delphis Eco range of green cleaning products are such effective cleaners that they look to supply their clients with fewer products to clean with. The philosophy behind the creation of this range is that unless one is doing some seriously specialist cleaning there should be very few cleaning chemicals used. It is important to use fewer chemicals, not more so that less space is taken up with storing these cleaning products. This also significantly reduces costs. Most environments should only use four cleaning products.

Because fewer products are used and the products that are used are non-harmful and non-flammable, there is no need to have expensive training for your staff on how to store these products.

The green cleaning products in the Delphis Eco range are non-carcinogenic, non-toxic and non-harmful to marine and aquatic life. With the products being this safe, the user is able to have complete peace of mind that there will be no harm to him or his environment.

Delphis Eco green cleaning chemicals are super-concentrated. This means that much less product is used than when using traditional cleaning chemicals. Again this will cut down on storage costs. If you need to transport the cleaning product it will mean transporting much less product. Or rather, more cleaning product and less water would be transported.

The awesome Delphis Eco range is manufactured by Blendwell Chemicals, under licence to the UK. Blendwell Chemicals can be found near Johannesburg, South Africa. Please visit www.blendwell.co.za to view our full range of cleaning products

How to clean "green" - Delphis Eco

Blendwell Chemicals is very proud to manufacture the Delphis Eco range of green cleaning chemicals under licence to the UK. The Delphis Eco range is an amazing range of green cleaning chemicals that are extremely effective cleaning products as well as being very cost effective.

Delphis Eco products are environmentally friendly and readily biodegradable. They are predominately made up of plant based ingredients and Delphis Eco products have been awarded with the EU Ecolabel accreditation known as the 'Flower'. This is an incredibly prestigious award to receive. Delphis Eco strives to be green at every stage - from sourcing the ingredients, to packaging, to distribution.

For products to obtain the Ecolabel accreditation the products must not only be ecological but also perform as well as if not better than the top 5 non-environmentally friendly market leaders in it's class at least 85% of the time. Delphis Eco achieved a 92% success rate which is a great indicator of how fantastic these products are.

Usually green products are more expensive than non-environmentally friendly products and this is a huge reason why many companies do not go green. With the Delphis Eco range this is not the case. There have been so many technological advances over the years and these advances have allowed Delphis Eco to manufacture and supply the range of cleaning products without creating extra cost. In fact, this range can actually save you money.

How to clean kitchen wall tiles

A kitchen is an area that can quickly get covered in layers of grease and grime that occur when cooking. Wiping down all the surfaces after use certainly helps keeping the grease at bay but sometimes it can build up in areas around that stove.

Daily cleaning with a squirt of dishwashing liquid, like Blendwell Chemicals Greendet, in a sink full of water can go a long way. Simply wipe down surfaces with a clean cloth that has been dipped in this solution.

For a deeper clean you may need to get more serious. The type of tiles that you have in your kitchen will determine how you clean them. Glass tiles will need extra care as they are very prone to scratching. You will need to use a soft cloth and be very gentle when rubbing. Glazed ceramics tiles can take a little more aggression but it is still better to not be too hard on them. Cleaning is made a great deal easier with grout that has been properly sealed. The dirt can then be wiped away and no heavy scrubbing is required. If the grout is not properly sealed it will stain really easily and you will be left with unsightly marks that penetrate through the grout and no matter how much you scrub the marks do not disappear. In this case, it is best to consider redoing the grout and sealing.

The quickest way of cleaning the tiles is to find a spray bottle and fill it with 50ml of Wac GP Cleaner and 450ml warm water. Spray this solution onto the tiles and leave for 5 minutes. At this point you should be able to simply wipe off any residue grease and dirt. If the grease is just too stubborn then add an extra 50ml of Wac GP Cleaner to your spray bottle, spray the area and leave for 5 minutes to activate. After removing all the grease wipe the area with a clean wet cloth to remove any left over chemical.

How to clean your driveway

Cleaning my driveway is not a job I particularly enjoy doing but once it's done, it looks so good. Whether your driveway is concrete or brick you can clean it in pretty much the same way. Driveways should get a good clean about once a year.

It's never a bad idea to wear gloves, safety eye wear and gumboots. Your shoes could easily get damaged from the water and the chemical if you are not careful.

First start with a good sweep to remove leaves, dust and dirt. Then you can use a product like Blendwell Chemicals Maxikleen. Start with a mixture of about 80ml into a 5 litre bucket of water if your driveway isn't that dirty. If your drive way is very dirty then you can try starting with a mixture of 400ml in a 5 litre bucket.

Splash an area with a little of this mixture and spread it out with a broom. Do this over the whole driveway and leave the solution on for at least 5 minutes. Depending on the size of your driveway, by the time you are finished spreading the solution you can probably go back the area you started with. Using a stiff broom, scrub the surface of the driveway and work in the solution. Be sure to scrub well between the bricks or joins of concrete. Once completed, you should hose your driveway down with your garden hose. Be sure to also rinse off your shoes and wash your hands.

If you are left with any areas that still require extra cleaning then increase then amount of chemical you originally added to make-up the solution and clean in the same way on just your problem areas as before and hose down the entire drive way afterwards.

Maxikleen is manufactured by Blendwell Chemicals. For more information on Maxikleen and how it can be used, please visit www.blendwell.co.za Blendwell Chemicals is conveniently based in Midrand, South Africa. We are your local chemical manufacturer!

What is a degreaser?

In the cleaning industry, you will come across the term degreaser quite frequently. A degreaser is a cleaning product that has been designed to lift grease, oils and fats from a surface. Degreasers can be solvent or water-based and are usually highly effective at cleaning very difficult to clean objects.

Typically one would use a degreaser to clean factory floors, machine parts, industrial stoves and kitchen appliances to name but a few.

Degreasers usually contain solvents to help lift the grease and grime off the surface. These solvents are usually classified as flammable and highly flammable. It's a good idea to first test what you are needing to clean with a water-based degreaser that contains less solvents but might be easier to use. Degreasers often also contain surfactants which also help to reduce the surface tension of water and lift dirt and grease off surfaces. It is important to find the right degreaser for the job you are wanting to do with the perfect mix of solvent and surfactant to get the job done quickly, properly and easily.

Blendwell Chemicals manufactures a fantastic range of degreasers that are highly effective. We manufacture both solvent and water-based degreasers as well as some green degreasers too. Blendwell Chemicals is based in Halfway House, South Africa and manufactures a huge range of cleaning products.

How to clean "green" - Dosing - Ratios

As I have already discussed it is very important to dose your cleaning chemicals correctly. The reasons for this are saving you money, saving you time and saving the environment.

When using cleaning chemicals, many people do not quite understand the instructions that come with the products. It's easy enough to follow when the instructions read that you should add one scoop (when the scoop is provided) and fill a 5 litre bucket with water. Unfortunately, it is not always that simple.

Sometimes instructions will read one part cleaning product to five parts of water. This is where mistakes can often be made. I have put together a table that will hopefully help you or your cleaners to avoid making any mistakes. I have broken it down into mixing up solutions of 1,4,10 and 20 litres. If you need to mix a different quantity you can still use the table as a guide. In each block the first quantity listed is the amount of cleaning product and the second number would usually be water. Please check product instructions carefully and it is always a good idea to at least wear gloves, if no other safety gear is required, even when only mixing the solution.
