One of the big things you can do is to clean your air filters on your furnace. Absolutely important to do that quarterly at minimum. And the other important thing to do. We've talked before about how your carpet and the fibers in the carpet are actually the next biggest air filter in your home, because that warm or cold air gets filtered down the walls and through those fibers and then up into your lungs. So it's important to keep those carpets.

And, you know, without me telling you exactly what product you should be using with no volatile organic compounds, those nasty VOCs. There's none of those in Soap Free Procyon.

Anthony Robbins instructs is that every day we should make a plan. We should take massive action to execute on that plan. The third part is to review your results and revise your plan accordingly. And guess what the fourth step is to repeat. If you get in the habit of those three things, making a plan specific action items, taking massive action on a daily basis to achieve and execute on those items, review your results, make changes, learning from the day, and then repeating it's super powerful and simple.

Some days that might just be one goal, one achievement, but it's super important. You do it.

Just a couple of quick hits today as we start to clean up our homes after all the summer activity in and out of the house for you homeowners, just a quick reminder that if you're getting out your home extractors or perhaps you're going out to rent a rug doctor or Bistle machine from your hardware store or your supermarket instead of using their soapy solution.

And again, you shake that bottle a couple of times and you won't hear anything after two shakes because it's all suds instead of following their directions, which asks you to pour that solution in their machine and spray it on and suck it up. I want you to instead strongly consider using a best practice, which is to take our stream prespray or our carpet upholstery cleaner dilute according to directions and prespray your carefully vacuumed carpets. Let it dwell for ten or 15 minutes and then just use hot, clean water in those machines to extract the dirt.

You're going to love the results and you can be assured that there's no VOCs, no soapy, sticky residue. It's the healthiest, best cleaning for your family and best for your carpets. For your commercial cleaners. If you want to offer your customers a wonderful, probably less expensive, less labor intensive method for you. Consider taking that extreme pre spray into those homes or your businesses for your business clients, along with a loopy cotton bonnet and your floor machine Rotary floor machine and just ring out in a mop bucket with the solution.

That loopy bonnet. Put it down using your driver pad and just polish those rugs. It's going to take out dirt, polish the carpets. It's a low moisture cleaning method. The rugs will be dry in 15 or 20 minutes.

It's very fast for you, very effective for your clients and a great value add. So I hope you can use those hints both as consumers in your homes and also as professionals to make your lives easier. Healthier better for everybody.

Volatile organic compounds, VOC's are gases that are emitted into the air from products or processes.

Some are harmful by themselves, including some that do in fact, cause cancer. In addition, they can react with other gases and form other air pollutants after they are in the air. So where do VOC's come from? They can be found in the air indoors and outdoors. Some of these sources continue to produce VOCs is when they're stored or transported. Some of the more familiar VOCs include benzene, formaldehyde and Tallinn. These can be found in many of the things you use every day. In your furniture, pesticides, air fresheners, cosmetics, and deodorants, fuel oil and gasoline, and most germane to my conversation with you today, cleaners and disinfectants. So here's how VOCs can harm your health. It can irritate your eyes, nose, and throat. They can cause difficulty in breathing and nausea. They can damage your central nervous system as well as other organs. Some VOCs, as I've said can cause cancer.

So what can you do to protect yourself from VOCs? Well use products that are low in VOCs or don't contain any VOCs. No big surprise. What I'm going to tell you next is all of our Soap Free Procyon products contain no VOCs whatsoever.

[00:00:00.180] 

It's JP from Procyon, wishing you all the best this week and have a couple of thoughts to share with you, mostly on cleaning up after your pet using wonderful Soap Free Procyo. On that subject. Let me start with a simple quote. Life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it to Charles Swindell. Now, I try to keep that in mind when I find that my pet has left me a unexpected and unwanted little surprise.

[00:00:36.120] 

And you know exactly what I'm talking about. I wish I could say that my reaction was always scalable and appropriate, but sometimes you know what I'm talking about. But let me make your life a little bit easier. Here's the simplest and best way to soap free and safely clean your pets messes. First of all, blow up as much of the material, be as solid or liquid as you can using paper towels or cloths. Get it all out as much as possible.

[00:01:11.550] 

I'm going to tell you a little secret. Many of the certifications certifying organizations when they test the efficacy of cleaning products, test them against. I'll give you a minute to guess. Water, they tested against water. Water is easily an 80 percent solution to most problems, just rinsing things out. Well, but that's kind of tough with your carpet because you can't lift it up and carry it to the sink. So the best we can do is, again, blot up the liquid or pick up the solid material to the best extent possible and then take your bottle of Soap Free Procyon spot and stain remover, mist the area, use a brush or a hand and nails to gently agitated and let it sit for five minutes and then take a clean white bleach free towel or washcloth and blot it up.

[00:02:14.660] 

Whatever material did not come up from the water should absolutely come out once you use the Soap Free Procyon and then allow it to dry. If it's soaked into the back of the carpet, you're going to have to use more water. That means you need to take a little more time to blotted out. You can even leave a small fan pointing at that spot to make sure it dries and no mold or mildew forms. And that's really it. Get yourself a bottle of our Soap Free Procyon Spot and Stain Remover.

[00:02:46.100] 

It comes the convenient 32 ounce or 16 ounce spray or bottle it's ready to use and we'd love to get it to you. Check us out at www.SoapFreeProcyon.com. Thanks so much. And keep loving those pets. Have a healthy and wonderful week.

Spot & Stain Remover

[00:00:00.180] 

Hello, it's JP from Procyon, and here we are at the end of April 2021, we've been pent up for a long time, but the good weather's here. And if you're like my family, we are out doing landscaping, gardening, and as a result ending up with some dirt and grass stains on our clothes. And so today's quick soap free cleaning tip is you can use Soap Free Procyon to very effectively remove spot, stains and generally clean your laundry.

[00:00:37.110] 

So if you already have a bottle, grab it. If not, order one of our 32 ounce spot and stain remover trigger sprayer. This works terrific for direct application to the stained areas on your clothing, be it mud, grass, even some blood stains, which I hope you are not incurring those. But if you do whatever is in your laundry and tough to get out, give it a good spray with the spot and stain remover and let it dwell for five or ten minutes before your wash cycle.

[00:01:13.560] 

Throw it in and if you really want to get things going. Use some of our spot and stain remover. I like to use two ounces in my washing machine instead of any detergent. It is super effective for getting all your clothes clean. So those two products you can solve pretty much any laundry problem and if you like, as in our household, we strictly use Extreme in our washing machine. Let me tell you how effective it is with the professional cleaning anecdote.

[00:01:46.020] 

My friend Brian Duncan and I have long cleaned the greasy carpets in the lobby of the movie theater locally, and maybe you've heard me tell about this before, but we would end up with several 19 inch Luppi cotton bonnets that were just so greasy and waxy with all the spilled popcorn butter that they were just a horrible mess. We would simply take those bonnets, often a dozen of them, and put them in a commercial front loader washing machine and add four ounces of extreme.

[00:02:20.550] 

That is our Soap Free Procyon extreme pre spray. Just that four ounces was effective in getting those cotton bonnets absolutely clean, all the grease removed. So only imagine what it can do in your home washing machine. That is the most environmentally friendly way to clean your clothes. So that's it. Guys, look at our website www.SoapFreeProcyon.com for easy ordering of both the Spot and Stain Remover and the Extreme Pre Spray. And of course you can get all of our products at our website.

[00:02:56.790] 

So that's it. Wishing you a happy spring, get out there and enjoy it. And don't worry about getting your clothes dirty because we will get them clean again -- the green way. Have a healthy and happy week.

[00:00:00.885] 

Hello, it's JP from Procyon, and I am sensing spring is in the air, here we are mid-March comes in like a lion, goes out like a lamb. I hope we all hope. And a little something for everybody this week. I've had a lot of terrific conversations with both household users and professionals. And I want to highlight a couple of things that came from that and also to add each week here a little encouraging or interesting quote. I think those always help us get along through our weeks and days and there might be something you want to share with the people you care about in your life.

[00:00:44.415] 

So let's start with something that came from my conversation with Happy Soap Free Procyon residential user this week that I think our carpet cleaning professionals will enjoy as well. I know that one of the things that I frequently ran into during my days as a carpet cleaner was when people had recently moved or were planning on moving their furniture. And there were those big dents in the carpet that typically will ease up with time. But it's where the fabric or the fiber has become crushed from the weight of the furniture.

[00:01:22.665] 

And so here's what a homeowner shared with me that I can't believe I didn't realize. But it's super simple. If you have a crushed spot in your carpet that you would like to heal quite quickly, take a fork out of your drawer to use gently on your carpet. But first, a clean washcloth. Get it moist, take your iron moist in the washcloth, lay it over the spot and simply use your household iron to apply a nice steam bath to that fabric.

[00:02:01.005] 

So hold the iron down on the washcloth. Not for too long, just to create a nice, steamy environment and then gently rake it and focus on gentle with your fork. And that steam will allow the fiber to relax, much like when a steam iron takes the wrinkles out of your garments and "puff" it is gone. And I actually asked her to demonstrate it for me over the phone using FaceTime and I'll be darned. It was so simple, so easy.

[00:02:34.575] 

So for both our residential customers and our professionals, keep that iron handy and iron those dents out of your carpet. The second quick hit is I had a wonderful conversation with one of the maintenance people at a major research university on the East Coast who wanted some brief instructions on the appropriate use of our soap free solutions. They've been longtime users of Extreme, and this person reported to me with some exasperation that some of their cleaning technicians were using it undiluted, which is great for us because we sell them more product.

[00:03:16.845] 

But, you know, our normal dilution rate is four ounces to a gallon, which makes us very economical. He was very concerned about what the impact of putting all that product into the carpet undiluted was and told him that likely no damage whatsoever because we are so gentle. I also, much to my detriment, informed him that they could probably just use some fresh water rinses on that carpet on their future cleanings, because there's probably some Procyon left in that carpet.

[00:03:49.305] 

But here's the part that really, really struck me is he was talking about the ten or twelve different types of professional equipment they use. Some riding equipment, some walk behind equipment and and wanted to know how to most effectively use the Extreme, because if you're using this on the riding equipment, that is for extraction, that is hot water extraction as opposed to low moisture encapsulation, these machines do not allow sufficient dwelling time. So the simple input I was able to give him was, please use a simple hand pre spray equipment, a pump sprayer and layout the extreme pre spray on the carpet and just let it dwell for five or ten minutes if it's extremely dirty, maybe even fifteen minutes.

[00:04:43.815] 

But if they start from a point and spray away from their equipment, by the time they're done, they can start extracting from the point they started because that will probably give them the five or ten minutes they need. He actually got back to me later in the week and said that that dwelling time was like magic. It boosted the results dramatically, sometimes the carpet was even looking brighter before they ran their equipment over. So just to double back on something you've heard me say repeatedly on past podcasts, please allow dwelling time.

[00:05:16.765] 

When you take out the nasty sticky, so be caustic chemicals that make clean quicker, but leave residue. You have to add something back. And that magic ingredient you're adding back is time. So dwelling, time, dwelling, time, dwelling time. OK, just to wrap up, I'd like to share with you a some thoughts on success. And this is from a famous American poet and writer, Ralph Waldo Emerson. And it is entitled "What is Success?"

[00:06:27.055] 

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”

[00:06:27.055] 

That's by Ralph Waldo Emerson and really a beloved piece in my life.

[00:06:32.695] 

So this is JP from Procyon asking you to be healthy, be kind, be strong and have a great week. Thanks for listening.

[00:00:00.205] 

Good Wednesday, this is J.P. from Procyon, and this is Valentine's week 2021. Reminder that sharing is caring. So if you've got neighbors, family or friends that have spots and I know all of us do, don't forget to hit them up with a little bit of your spot and stain remover or other Procyon products. It's the healthiest and most loving thing you can do for your friends and neighbors and family. Toward that end, I want to share with you that I had a neighbor recently that was giving away a chair posted on Facebook that the chair was to give away, just had a brown spot on the back.

[00:00:38.635] 

It's a lovely light green chair, pretty high quality. And I said, hey, we'll take it. And I felt a little guilty because I came home and I cleaned it up and I sent them a picture and gave them the option to take it back. And guess what? They were very grateful and said, yeah, we'd love it back. So let me tell you what I did. Normally, I would use our spot and stain remover to pre spray and let it dwell.

[00:01:05.795] 

Remember, dwelling is always important for 10 minutes, maybe even 15, if it's a terrible spot and light agitation, remember agitation is like when you scrub your head with your fingers, when you're shampooing. With upholstery, remember, you don't want to be too tough on it. You want to use a very soft brush or a soft cloth or rub it gently with your hand to agitate so you don't cause any killing or damage to the fabric or the pile of the fabric.

[00:01:34.885] 

So in this particular case, instead of using spot and stain remover, I took some of our Plus Powder, which is typically used by our cleaning professionals, our dedicated cleaning professionals that have truck mounted high heat systems. But I just took a teaspoon of the powder and I mixed it in eight ounces, actually 16 ounces of water and put it in a spray bottle. I sprayed gently mist into the fabric. I let it dwell for five minutes and brushed it gently and then hot water extracted it using our Hoover portable residential machine and it came out just like new.

[00:02:16.045] 

So we've got a very happy neighbor, I'm short a chair. It was lovely, but like I said, sharing is caring. And I hope that you find time this Valentine's Day week of 2021 to appreciate your neighbors, your friends, your family. Show them you care, show them you love them. And I want all of you to know that all of us at Procyon love and appreciate you as our customers. Have a terrific week and clean green. Take care.
