Welcome to the GreenSweep Blog page! I wanted to invite people to share questions and tips of their own with me and others here. I love trying out new or "very old" remedies for difficult cleaning tasks.

Here's my latest undertaking at a customer's house. The linoleum entryway had such a terrible buildup of dirt and old cleaners, that it was not even close to its original color. I actually discovered this after trying to remove a sticker residue with the Citrasolv cleaner I carry with me. Lo and behold, it ate the old dirt off too. This cleaner is made with real orange essential oils. I had to use it full strength, let it set for about 10 minutes, then scraped with a scouring pad, and rinsed with water.
I have to add that this little space did take me about 5 hours to shape up. As you can see though, it was well worth the effort and she decided not to replace the floor afterall.
