BET-0032 Grime Off 12oz Aerosol

I purchased 2 cans of this at the local big box because my usual CRC Brakleen was out. The packaging is great and has a fairly solid feel, but that's all that is good. The cleaner comes out of the can with very low pressure. You're essential squirting it out of the can. The cleaner then required scrubbing to do its job. You then need to rinse off the cleaner and grime. Overall I'd consider this more like brake scrub or soap. It doesn't do what all other can brake cleaners do.

Amazon VineThe Amazon Vine Program sent me "Mean But Green" cleaning products. These are made by Nutek Green.I received Grime Off: Heavy Duty Cleaning And Degreasing Wipes; Grime Off: Cleaner and Degreaser; Green Carpet: Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner. Three Hand and Surface Cleaning Wipes and one Simply Soy: Heavy Duty Cleaning Wipe.I used the heavy duty cleaning and degreasing wipes on the back sides of a ceiling fan. The container has the usual problems with getting a wipe to go through the guide and then come out one at a time. I've never used one that worked well right off the bat. The plastic tip that you use to open the wipes broke after five uses, but you can get your thumb in there and pull it open. The wipes have a slightly lemony smell and something else. The good thing is that the smell doesn't stay with you all day. It isn't an unpleasant smell but it isn't that wonderful either. It is biodegradable. I found it to be about as strong as Clorax wipes. As far as the fan blades go, the wipes were all right...not as good as a warm rag from a bucket of soapy water but ok for car and some minor cleaning jobs.The "Grime Off: Heavy Duty Cleaner and Degreaser" came in an interesting format. The trigger is right under the spout and I thought my index finger would be in the way but it wasn't. It shoots a biodegradable foam very evenly and in controllable proportion. I did like this product and used it on a number of items including a grill and a patio table made of plexiglass that stays outside year around. It worked well and had a pleasant odor. I used it on the plastic chairs as well and had to scrub a bit but there was a lot of grime and mold on the chairs. It was better than using soapy water and a rag.I used the degreaser both on a grill and smoker on the grates and then on the outsides of each implement. It cleaned up fine. It did take a bit more elbow grease then I thought it might but both cleaned up fine.I tried the carpet and upholstery cleaner next. I have an old bedroom carpet that I plan on getting rid of anyway so I thought I'd try the Mean Green Carpet alongside of Resolve. The Resolve comes out pretty forcefully while the Green Carpet is like the degreaser and comes out in a foam. Unlike the degreaser, this foam does not come out very fast but lightly. The top has that trigger like the degreaser. Although the Mean Green instructions do not say to wait, I waited a bit and then used a damp cloth in both areas. In the resolve area I'd forgotten how much soap comes up first. There wasn't a lot of soap with the Green Carpet but it did clean up the dirty spot quite nicely...better than the Resolve. I checked them both a while later and the Green Carpet had the distinct edge. It is my favorite of the Mean Green products.The kit also came with four packaged wipes. Three of these were Hand and Surface Cleaning Wipes designed to eliminate the gas or diesel smell from hands or the smells that come with using small engines or power tools. There was a little less odor than the cleaning wipes but putting them side by side I didn't see much difference. I cannot go out on a limb and say these are better than the ones I already use that so many others make like Cholorax. There was also a grill cleaning wipe that again is a bit more heavy duty than the hand wipes and does a good job. The grill cleaning wipe is called "Simply Soy" but am not sure how the soy plays into it all.The final item in the kit is a 100% cotton general purpose cleaning cloth that can be washed and used again. It's a good cloth to use to clean your car...as good as the ones you can get in an auto parts store.The upholstery cleaner is $12.68; the wipes are $13.78 and the degreaser is $8.70. I think the upholstery cleaner is worth it but the others are a bit high. Guess if I knew for sure the other cloths I use were not biodegradable, I'd pay a bit extra for the Nutek Products.

I bought this at Dollar Tree for a buck. For that price it is well worth it. When it ends up at the dollar store, usually, it's on it's way out.
