Some other products that I swear by, but dont have to use all that often. I really do not use much cleaner at all, have only the very basics, but keep a few special things for special jobs.

GONZO, for stain removal, also a product under this same name to not only remove pet stains but their odor as well. I had guests over around 3 years ago, and one of the gentlemen spilled a full glass of red wine and at that time we still had carpet. It was all over the chair he was sitting on which is covered in cloth, and the remainder went on himself and the carpet, the majority ending up on the carpet, which was a medium green in color. Anyhow, I first just went with a dry towel to absorb as much of the wine on the surface and then followed the directions on Gonzo for the rest. It worked like a charm, seriously, I thought I would have to get in rug cleaners, but no, it all came out with Gonzo.

I also like a product called Goo be Gone. It gets rid of the glue left by labels that they put on say glasses you buy, cookware, that kind of thing. With a lot of those darned price labels, the top paper and some of the glue comes off but the rest of that tacky glue remains. I just put on a few drops of Goo be Gone and rub with a paper towel and it is gone.

Gonzo and Goo be Gone are both available at Linens n Things.

And I like a product called Kleen Air which I buy at Reliable Parts in Calgary. My son was cooking once and the heat was too high and a lot of smoke went down my downdraft and I could smell it every time I used it. So I was told to buy this product, I soaked an old washcloth with it, put it in a plastic bag so it would not drip all over but left the top of the bag open, and then suspended bag and cloth in my downdraft unit and ran it an hour or two and the odor was completely gone. Quite often I do the same thing in the cabinet under my kitchen sink, but let the bag with the cloth and solution just sit there, and it keeps things nice and fresh.
