Oxi-Clean, Quick 'n' Brite & Orange Glo

[Michael Meade]

I have just seen loads of infomercials on the following thre products:

Oxi-Clean, Quick 'n' Brite & Orange Glo

I believe they are popular in the US. Can alyone tell me what they are like
i.e. good, bad, or which is better. I must admit it looks like Q&B is the
best on TV but id like to hear it from people who have used it first hand,
thanks guys

I'm not certain what Q&B is. Oxi-Clean & Orange glo are different
products for different applications.

Oxi-Clean is is based on sodium percarbonate which uses oxygen
for destaining and deodorizing.

Orange Glo from limonene; a natural cleaner and solvent that is made
from orange peels or pine trees

You use the oxygen based products for general cleaning and brightening.
You use the limonene for grease removal and heavy duty cleaning.

Nor are the TV products necessarily the best products or deal. You gotta
pay for that advertising!

You find more information under the Oxyboost section plus some better
deals.

I checked usenet archives on Quick 'n' Bright.

A man started producing it in 1952 and stayed in business for decades no
TV advertising until recently.

It's non-toxic, approved for use in commercial kitchens, non-caustic,
and biodegradable.

It uses an enzyme from seaweed. It's said to be very effective on oils,
greases, and waxes.

Some who responded to the infomercial say it's useless. Longtime users
say of course it doesn't do everything the infomercial says, and maybe
the dissatisfied customers failed to dissolve it properly in water for
use in a spray bottle. (You're supposed to melt the gel, then add water.)

Longtime users like it for carpets, showers, sinks, kitchen floors,
windows, and some kinds of clothing stains. Gun hobbyists like it
because it will emulsify cosmoline, and it will remove waxy or greasy
grime from stocks without damaging the wood. Chemically sensitive users
say it doesn't bother them like other cleaners.

I have no experience with Quick 'n' Bright, but those usenet opinions
sound genuine.

Orange Clean would be the cleaner, and I expect it works as well as
others I've tried, like Citra-Solv and De-Solv-It.

Orange Glow by the same company is a very oily polish that smells nice,
but doesn't clean anything worth a damn, although they show it "cleaning"
dirty wood furniture on the commercial. It didn't clean grimy wood on
some furniture in the garage, just made it greasy.

I have used Oxi-Clean and Orange Glo. They both do a pretty good job,
with Oxy (hands down) being the better of the two.

Oxy does a great job on stains and dirt that are organic or "funky" in
nature. Can't figure out what that weird spot is? Oxy!

There are some cleaning products that I have tried, and continue to
use, that are the best overall products I have come across. They are
safe and non-toxic. I believe Oxy is, too.

To be fair, I am involved with the company that makes the products
that I am talking about. As a matter of good taste, I will not mention
the name of the products. (You'll have to email me to find out!)

I'm not knocking Oxy or Orange Glo, they are good products. But even
despite my affilliation, I believe these products to be among the best
cleaners out there.

My 2 bits,
