All Purpose Cleaner User Guide

All Purpose Cleaner User Guide - Humble Suds

Humble Suds All Purpose Cleaner is a multi-purpose cleaner that can be used to clean any sealed surface – yes, all - in your home, and can replace multiple items under your sink, for use in your kitchen, bath and everywhere in between.

What does “clean” mean? Clean does not mean disinfecting! Humble Suds All Purpose Cleaner works as any other All Purpose Cleaner - by removing germs, and not by killing them. Only disinfectants “kill” germs and over-sterilizing your home can actually be bad for your health and immune system. Save disinfecting for extreme situations.

HUMBLE INGREDIENTS. BOLD CLEANING POWER.

Best Practices

SURFACES. Our All Purpose Cleaner is formulated to safely clean any sealed surface. It is SAFE to use on granite, marble, quartz, walls, baseboards, fixtures, glass, sealed wood, leather and more.

For best results, first clean away any debris such as crumbs. Spray the surface liberally. Let sit for 30 seconds or so and wipe away. For tougher jobs, let sit for a few minutes before wiping. 

Always spot-test in an inconspicuous place before spraying liberally.

FLOORS. Our All Purpose can be diluted to a ¼ ratio to clean floors. 1 part cleaner and 4 parts water. When using our All Purpose Cleaner, half of the 16 oz bottle  can be used to make 64 oz of floor cleaner.

TOILETS, TUBS AND SINKS. Spray All Purpose Cleaner, let sit and wipe away. We recommend doing this twice for bathroom areas to ensure all germs have been removed. Our Scour Cleaning Paste is a great cleaning partner for this task.

STAIN REMOVAL. Lift stains with our All Purpose Cleaner. First, blot away as much of the stain as possible. Saturate with our All Purpose Cleaner, let it sit and blot away until dry. Repeat as needed.

CARS. Use our All Purpose Cleaner to clean your car. Just spray and wipe! Always spot-test.

STOVE TOPS. Clean away and remove debris. Saturate surface with All Purpose Cleaner, let sit and wipe with a microfiber towel. Use hot water in between cleaning cycles to remove any built-up grease. You can also incorporate some Scour on greasy, hard-to-clean spots.

BATHROOM AND KITCHEN FIXTURES. Spray fixtures, let sit and wipe clean.

MIRRORS AND GLASS. Spray and wipe. If suds are being left behind, dilute a portion of the All Purpose Cleaner (⅓ ratio) and use for mirrors.

HIGH-TRAFFIC GERM SPOTS (Light switches, doorknobs, etc.) Spray, let sit 30 seconds and wipe clean. Repeat one additional time.

CELL PHONES. Power off phone. Spray an electronic towel with All Purpose Cleaner and wipe areas not near an area where moisture can seep into the device. Let dry. Repeat one additional time, wiping the device down after the second clean. Note: never spray directly onto phone.

TOYS. Add All Purpose Cleaner to a bowl and add toys to soak. Rinse. Or spray toys with All Purpose Cleaner, let sit 30 seconds and wipe clean.

For best results, follow the “best practices” above. In addition, Humble Suds All Purpose can be used on all Surfaces, including:

  • Backsplash

  • Appliances

  • Microwaves

  • Cabinets

  • Floors

  • Sinks

  • Walls

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Humble Suds All Purpose Cleaner safe for ALL sealed surfaces?

YES. With a neutral pH of 7, it is compatible with all sealers. Our All Purpose Cleaner is safe for all sealed surfaces, including granite, marble, quartz, soapstone and Corian. Always spot test in a hidden place before full application.

Is it a disinfectant?

No. Like other All Purpose Cleaners on the market, Humble Suds is NOT a sanitizer or disinfectant. It cleans your home by removing germs rather than killing them. This strategy protects your home environment from toxic disinfectants, as well as from the many pathogens that have developed resistance to disinfectants, while also offering the best end result…a healthier home. 

Is this cleaner safe for use around children and pets?

YES. Our dilution of essential oils is at a level very safe for pets and children. However, make sure to store our concentrates in an area away from children or pets, as it has not been diluted with water. When using our concentrated refills, follow directions carefully to ensure the proper ratio of concentrate-to-water is used and that the appropriate dilution is achieved.

Can I use regular water or is distilled water required when using my All Purpose Concentrate?

For best results, we recommend distilled water as it does not contain certain minerals that can cause streaking. Additionally, it prolongs the shelf life of the product. However, you can also use filtered water. Once you refill your All Purpose Cleaner with your concentrate, it is recommended to use it within six months for best results. 

Can I use it to clean stainless steel? It is not recommended and it isn’t formulated to clean stainless steel well.

General Cleaning Tips

DISTILLED WATER

We recommend using distilled water to refill our All-Purpose bottle. “Hard water” or tap water is often heavy in minerals, which can sometimes leave streaking behind.

CLEANING CLOTHS

Microfiber cleaning cloths are highly recommended for daily cleaning use, as they trap germs within their fibers, helping to remove them as you clean, and also eliminate streaking on surfaces prone to streaks such as glass and mirrors. 

VACUUM

A vacuum equipped with HEPA filtration is recommended to protect the air quality in your home from airborne particulates. Mopping with a microfiber pad will increase the volume of pathogens removed from your flooring surfaces. Always vacuum prior to mopping for best results.

VENTILATION

The indoor air quality within a home can be worse than city pollution due to off-gassing appliances and fixtures, as well as commercially made cleaning and personal care products. In addition to switching to safer cleaning products, you can improve your indoor air quality by regularly opening windows in your home as well as using your vents and fans when cooking or showering.

CAUTIONS

Do not consume. Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, flush with water. Though safe and not harmful, we recommend keeping out of reach of children. Keep away from open flame.

General Directions for Use

To use: Spray onto surface liberally. Let it sit for 30 seconds and then wipe until dry. For tougher jobs, let sit up to five minutes before wiping. Though formulated for all sealed surfaces, always spot test in an inconspicuous place before spraying liberally.
