How To Use EATOILS Products With Steam And Vapor Cleaning Systems
There has been a lot of discussion recently about using steam to deep clean grout, tile, and other porous surfaces. Steam is a highly effective surface cleaner for removing visible grease, however, it doesn't draw out all of the material from deep pores as it's followers and supporters claim - and it can leave a residual grease trail, particularly in high traffic areas. Lingering odors can also be a problem.
EATOILS™ deep cleaning products actually do remove the organic materials from deep in the pores of all surfaces - and they do a particularly great job at removing deep particles from porous surfaces. They also remove the sources of odors!
By combining the power of microbial cleaning with 'steam cleaning' or 'vapor cleaning' the results are much more effective. The microbes and surfactants in EATOILS™ products actually loosen the microscopic food and inorganic particles so the steam or vapor can remove them faster. They also remove the sources of odors.
We have a number of contractor clients who are hired by large restaurant chains to 'steam clean' their kitchens and bathrooms when they require: 1) a complete overhaul, 2) a refurbishment for a new franchise owner, 3) a dramatic heavy duty clean, or 5) a kitchen or bathroom makeover. Admittedly, these are the worst conditions for cleaning (usually the build-up is from many years and it is hard to get at all of the areas to clean them). However, they are ideal for deep steam cleaning. After years of cleaning these difficult areas our contractor clients have discovered a better way to clean by combining the two cleaning systems. We have found that these contractors actually insist on using our EATOILS™ heavy duty cleaners together with the steam equipment so they can get the best cleaning result in the shortest time.
How they do it
Typically, they mix up our cleaner (depending on the job - SUPERFRESH™ for bathrooms, SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™ for kitchens, or BT200™ for industrial greases ) with hot water (usually at 4 oz/gal) and apply it liberally to the surfaces to be cleaned (usually leave 1/4" of fluid on the floor) and allow it to sit for 30 - 45 minutes or so. Then, they brush the surfaces with a stiff brush to release the heavy greases and build-up. Then they follow up with the steam or vapor cleaning system. It actually takes much less time to clean this way and the results are dramatic! A bright clean room with no residue and no lingering odors!

ARE YOU REALLY CLEANING?
Recent reports have shown that 'spray & squeegee type' cleaning or 'spray & wipe' cleaning practices like microfibre systems are better at controlling residue that could typically be left behind by 'mop' and 'sponge mop type' cleaning systems. The main reasons cited in these reports are related to the contaminant resdue levels that sponge mop and string mop systems inherently have due to the material in the mop and sponge systems. This material is singled out primarily due to the way that the cleaning system is used - both mop styles assume that the user is continually re-dipping the dirty mop/sponge back into the bucket and re-contamniating the mop/sponge with the dirty water and re-applying it to the surface to be cleaned. In addition, the typically harsh chemicals used in these methods actually attack the mopheads and spongeheads and break them down - If you want to understand just how bad these products are for the mopheads take a moment and smell your mophead at the end of the cleaning shift when traditional cleaning products are used - you'll smell the mold on the mophead! We have found that when traditional cleaning products are used in a typical janitorial application a mophead lasts only one week.
In most of our EATOILS™ literature we have pointed out how well our products work at cleaning the mophead/spongehead every time it is inserted into the bucket because our cleaning technology is much more efficient than traditional cleaners that rely on chemical action ONLY to clean. Traditional cleaning products use harsh chemicals and/or solvents to break down dirt and residue - this process deteriorates as the cleaning solution gets dirtier and eventually, the fluid in the bucket needs to be changed. Our EATOILS™ products actually don't deteriorate as the solution gets dirtier, so the cleaning action is not adversely affected as the bucket is used. In fact, we have proven time and again that the surface is effectively cleaned much more thoroughly with our EATOILS™ products than with any other method using the mop/sponge type cleaning method. In addition, we have proven that mopheads last 6-10 times longer when used with our products because our products don't attack the mopheads (they smell nice and clean at the end of the cleaning shift). Over and over again we have proven that EATOILS™ products outperform traditional cleaning products at the toughest jobs!
At the same time, our products work exceptionally well with microfibre, spray & squeegee, 'wetswiffer' type and spray & wipe approaches when compared to other cleaning products. Our EATOILS™ products are better cleaning products - they are the only ones with non-stop cleaning action, and they are the only ones that "keep on working long after you are done!"
EATOILS™ cleaning products work well in high risk environments too! When combined with sanitizing and anti-microbial cleaning products in a cleaning/disinfecting system they provide the "best of both worlds" - Deep cleaning and removal of organics combined with germ control for the most demanding environments.
These EATOILS™ cleaning products (SUPERFRESH™ CLEANER/DEODORIZER FOR HARD SURFACES, SUPER CARPET-FRESH™CLEANER/DEODORIZER FOR SOFT SURFACES, and BT200™ DEGREASER FOR OIL & GREASE STAINS) are very cost effective as well - 1/2 ounce in a quart spray bottle filled with water will yield an amazing cleaner that will work harder than most off the shelf cleaners at a fraction of the cost.

Clean and Green Solutions-Clean your kitchen safer, better, and faster.
Kitchen grease - what a nasty job to clean it - especially on the kitchen exhaust hood in a busy restaurant! Many restaurants leave this dirty job to the professionals and call them in on a regular schedule to remove the heavy build-up of greases in the hoods, primarily for fire prevention. Most hood cleaning professionals use a dangerous caustic cleaning solution like sodium hydroxide to attack grease on the hood. These caustic solutions require the use of gloves, respirators, and other safety equipment and they can be dangerous to your employees' health, eyes, skin, clothing, etc. As a result, most hood cleaning is done late at night when the restaurant staff is off premises.
Now, with the introduction of safe, environmentally friendly microbial cleaning products like EATOILS™ SUPER DEGREASER™ you can do these nasty jobs with a much safer product and save on outside cleaning costs. This product is so safe you can use it without gloves for most cleaning/degreasing applications around the kitchen, however for hood cleaning we suggest you use SUPER DEGREASER™ in hot water with gloves, a stiff polybrush and a mop bucket due to the possibility of contacting a variety of harmful pathogens from the hood surface. Using a 10-20% solution (10 - 5 parts water to 1 part of SUPER DEGREASER™) you can easily remove most grease deposits on the hood & filters in the following way: 1) Apply the solution to the surface by spraying it on or by painting it on, 2) allow it to sit for 15 - 25 minutes or so, 3) brush the area with the polybrush to remove the deposits of grease, fats and oils from the hood surface, then, 4) rinse the surface to remove any residue. Scraping or pressure washing can also remove these deposits once SUPER DEGREASER™ has been applied. Older or "burnt on" deposits may require a longer dwell time.
As with any cleaning job, daily maintenance can make the job go much faster. A nightly regimen of cleaning the hood and filters with SUPER DEGREASER™ at the end of the cooking shift can keep a busy kitchen clean and safe from potentially dangerous hood fires.
Some clients find that a pre-shift (morning) spray of the product in a 10% solution on the upper surfaces of the hood and filters can make the nightly cleaning go much faster. The product is also great for degreasing all kitchen surfaces including; stove tops, equipment, grills, etc. - in fact, anywhere cooking greases can be found! Prodcut is available in quart, gallon, and 5 gallon pail sizes.
