What are you waiting for?
Barry Newhart: Hi there, Barry Newhart with Dan Dillon, ShopCleaningSupplies.com. We’re here to talk about a product called Triple Action. It’s a carpet spot reducer, spot eliminator. We’ll see if we can ask Dan some questions and maybe he can fill us in on exactly what Triple Action can do for you. So Dan, tell me something what is Triple Action?
Dan Dillon: Triple Action is a multi-enzyme spotter and odor eliminator. It is a well versed product that will go after protein based stains.
Barry Newhart: And this is for carpets? Do you do complete carpet cleaning with this or is it for spot removal?
Dan Dillon: It’s typically known as a spotter. Coffee spots, pet urine, vomit, feces, milk, red wine, it’s like magic cure for red wine.
Barry Newhart: If you can get that out of carpets it has to be good.
Dan Dillon: Triple Action is awesome. It’s a very important role in any professional carpet cleaner’s job. Even for home, I keep triple Action at home. I mean I have two kids and a dog and they’re always making messes and spilling stuff so I have triple action all the time.
Barry Newhart: So what is it that makes triple Action so good?
Dan Dillon: Triple Action is an enzyme that is continually regenerating itself with the bacteria strains that are in the chemical composition. When it’s released to feed on more bacteria the enzyme strains actually go after that bacteria and begin to digest it. So the soil acts as food for the enzymes that are in the product. So when you have the vomit or the urine or the feces or the red wine or anything like that when you unleash the enzymes they go right to work and start chomping on the protein or the bacteria that’s available for them to feed on.
Barry Newhart: Well that sounds great. Is there anything else triple action can do?
Dan Dillon: Triple Action is awesome for a bunch of different stuff. People will use it as a laundry pre spray, and a lot of food service people will use it for their linens. After special events they’ll pre spray them before they go to the laundry.
Barry Newhart: Oh, so this will work as a pre spray for laundry?
Dan Dillon: Absolutely, if you have kids you can pre spray the grass stains on their knees or the food that they spill on themselves. It’s also used for upholstery cleaning and car cleaning. Auto detail companies love the product. Because the enzymes go after the decomposing bacteria or the bad bacteria it’s also an odor eliminator. People that have odor problems in hotel rooms, cars or people that have smoke in their cars or bars and restaurants are always using Triple Action.
Barry Newhart: Very good. Well you answered most of my questions.
Dan Dillon: I’ll give you another benefit of Triple Action before you let me go. Triple Action also has another product in it called DuPont Zynal. DuPont Zynal is a carpet protector that is left behind and will make the carpet easier to clean the next time around. So it’s almost like putting on Scotch guard - for the most laymen person that understands what Scotch guard is. It’s like putting on Scotch guard, only better, to act as professional grade protection for the carpet fibers as a dye site blocker, so that the carpet can be cleaned easily the next time around. So in addition to cleaning, in addition carpet spotting, laundry pre-spraying, deodorizing, it also leaves behind a carpet protector so the carpet fibers can’t get soiled; if the carpet does get soiled, it will be cleaned easily next time around. Triple Action is offered in two different scents. It’s available in clean and fresh, the greenish bluish label, and also in cherry-almond scent, whichever you prefer. And of course, we offer the product in quart sized bottles and a gallon size bottles for the guys that consume quite a bit more. And that’s Triple Action for you.
Barry Newhart: So Triple Action should be able to take care of my rug spotting needs?
Dan Dillon: Absolutely, got to have Triple Action in your arsenal of cleaning products.
Barry Newhart: Alright, well I appreciate you answering my questions. If you have any more questions and would like to talk to Dan don’t hesitate to pick up the phone to call. He’ll be happy to talk to you, or any one of his trained staff would be happy to answer any of the questions that you might have. Give us a call and happy cleaning!

Floor Stripping Tips: Stripping Floors, A Guide for Beginners and Professionals
Occasionally, when floor finish (traditionally called "floor wax") becomes worn, it needs to be replaced. Before new floor finish is applied, the old finish needs to be removed. Removing old floor finish is called “floor stripping”.
Before you apply stripping solution the floor, make sure you follow the manufacturers dilution instructions for the particular floor stripping products you are using. Stronger is not always better. The stripping solution must contain some water to be effective and emulsify the old floor finish, wax and sealers.
Allow the floor stripping solution to penetrate the old floor finish (floor wax) for several minutes. Then, scrub the floor with the appropriate floor scrubber. For heavy buildup and extremely aged finishes, you may have to apply more stripping solution to the floor as the solution becomes saturated with old, loosened wax and finish.
There is a way to check if the floor is ready for scrubbing. While wearing rubber gloves, scrape the finish film with the center section of an aggressive stripping pad. Click here for an article on how to choose floor pads. If you can easily scrape the loosened old wax finish down to the bare floor, it is has emulsified and is now ready to scrub. If the pad scrapes only a slippery layer of finish, then you need more dwell time and/or more floor stripper solution.
One very important tip to remember is that you should generously apply stripping solution to the floor. Many beginners commonly make the mistake of not applying enough. When you do not apply enough stripping solution, two bad things happen. First, the old floor finish is not fully separated from the floor. Second, the floor dries too fast, allowing the old floor finish to re-adhere before you can get it up. It takes time to apply stripping solution, scrub the entire floor, and remove the dirty water by mopping or vacuuming. Once you have applied the stripping solution, scrubbed the floor, and removed the dirty water; give the floor a final rinse. Remember, if the floor begins to dry before this cleanup and rinse, you will have to repeat the procedure and reactivate your stripping solution.
Regular floor stripping is no longer necessary if you use any of our floor finishes and use good maintenance procedures. Actually, excessive floor stripping can damage floors as well as increase product and labor costs. It is necessary to use floor strippers only when:
However, when floor stripping is required, we have the cleaning products that will get it done right. Two of the most popular floor strippers used by floor care professionals are HOT SHOT No-Rinse Speed Stripper and ONYX High Productivity Floor Stripper.
Once you have successfully stripped your floor, be sure to use the right floor finish, floor wax and floor sealers. ShopCleaningSupplies.com carries a wide array of floor and carpet care products that you can buy and now use with confidence.
For your clients have gone “green,” we also carry environmentally friendly, "green" floor cleaning products.

Carpet Cleaning Tips: How to Clean Residential Carpets
Utilize these carpet cleaning tips from ShopCleaningSupplies.com and get your home carpet clean!
Floor and carpet care make up the majority of our business at ShopCleaningSupplies.com. Not only do we sell carpet cleaning supplies, we know how to use them. This page is a simple carpet cleaning guide which will help you properly select and use carpet cleaning supplies to get your home carpet clean.
Nylon and Polyester are the most common materials used in home carpets. Our carpet cleaning guide provides an overview of the most well-proven carpet cleaning tools, carpet cleaning chemicals and methods for removing stains from these materials. If you know the manufacturer of your carpet, it is also a good idea to check with them to find out which rug cleaner will work the best. If you do not know the manufacturer of your carpet, it's best to play it safe when choosing your rug cleaners. Browse through all of our carpet cleaners to see which one is right for your rug.
Vacuuming is the most common and most important procedure for cleaning carpets. You must vacuum your carpet thoroughly before cleaning it with carpet cleaning chemicals. If you do not completely vacuum your carpet beforehand, cleaning it with chemicals will waste your time and money...and may even cause damage. For help choosing a professional-quality vacuum cleaner, check out our online guide, "How to Choose the Right Vacuum Cleaner". After vacuuming, pre-spray the carpet, then use an optional but recommended citrus boost.
After pre-spraying, there are two main methods which are used to clean carpets. The first method is carpet extraction. Carpet extraction uses hot water, a chemical called a carpet extractor, and a special type of floor machine. The second method is bonnet cleaning. Bonnet carpet cleaning is a relatively dry method which uses special chemicals and a special kind of floor pad.
After cleaning, you may want to consider a chemical carpet protector. While stain-resistant carpets are common, no carpet is truly stain proof. Your next steps are to brush the carpet and then dry, using (if necessary) one of our air movers and floor fans.
Visit the carpet cleaning supplies section of our site to find great deals on our brand name, professional strength carpet cleaning products. Also, check out our line of vacuums for the best in durable, professional equipment. Be sure to check out the HEPA vacuums, which are highly effective at removing even the smallest particles of dirt, dust and other allergens from your home carpet.

Floor Finishing Tips: How to Create a Great Floor Finish
ShopCleaningSupplies.com has the floor care products you need, along with the experience and know how to help you use cleaning products the right way.
While floor finishing in private homes often means hardwood floor refinishing, floor finishing in the commercial cleaning business often involves tile and concrete. Proper floor finishing requires the use of proper floor care products. Your mop heads need to be in good condition. Also, you will save significant time and money by using the correct type of mop. Always use laundered rayon-blend mop heads for waxing. Soiled or new cotton mops can turn the finish brown. Before using mops, soak and tightly wring them, so they absorb less finish and are easier to clean.
Floor wax and floor finish are two different terms that mean the same thing. Whether you call it floor wax or floor finish, different floor chemicals have different characteristics, depending on the type of floor you are finishing and how that floor is used. Certain floor finish chemicals are better with certain floor finishing equipment and certain floor sealers. You should also choose floor finishing chemicals according to what is most important to your client: appearance, durability, protection, or economy.
Before you start floor finishing, you should determine if floor stripping is necessary. There is a simple test to make sure. Apply one coat of floor finisher to a small area and let it dry. Then, apply masking or cellophane tape to the finish and pull it up quickly. If the finish comes off with the tape, you have poor adhesion. Poor adhesion means that you need to decide if the floor needs stripping or if you need to use another floor finisher.
If floor stripping and floor sealing are not required, then sweep and clean the floor with floor cleaners and let it dry completely. Then, when applying floor finish, apply more than one coat. Usually, you should apply two or three coats. More coats mean a shinier floor. Make sure you allow each coat to dry before applying the next coat. It will take at least 45 minutes for each coat to dry.
It is important to apply the coats of floor finish a certain way. Different areas of the floor need different numbers of coats. Foot traffic lanes need more coats than other areas. Apply three coats to foot traffic lanes for every one coat in non-traffic areas along the edges. This helps prevent edge buildup. On the first application, stay at least 12 to 14 inches away from baseboards and corners. Gradually work closer to the edges with each subsequent coat. Apply finish in uniform, medium to full coats. Thin coats may dry faster, but often lose strength and powder relatively quickly.
For the environmentally conscious, we offer green floor cleaning products.
We hope this article helped with any questions you had about floor finishing. Please remember to use ShopCleaningSupplies.com for your floor finish, floor wax, and floor sealers, floor stripping products, hardwood floor wood finish, floor restoration maintainers, floor machines, floor scrubbers, floor buffers, air movers and floor fans, and all your floor and carpet care products.
