I know that we’ve talked about spring cleaning a few times now. With all of the messes and things that need to be cleaned, I’ve accrued a nice collection of products that are “specialty” cleaners. There are cleaners for toilets, cleaneres for stoves, special stain removers – you get the idea. Now, there’s a cleaner on the market that does everything you need when it comes to cleaning, the new Dirty Jobs Complete Heavy-Duty Stain Remover.
About My Dirty Jobs
The Review
While there are a lot of dirty jobs around the house – whether it’s cleaning greasy oven tops and microwaves or scrubbing soap scum from shower doors, I decided to put the Dirty Jobs Heavy Dute Complete Cleaner through quite possibly one of the toughest, dirtiest jobs I know – cleaning the oven door.
I’m embarrassed to admit how long it’s been since I last cleaned the oven, so I won’t. 😉 But let’s suffice it to say that it’s been awhile, which has offered ample time for dirt and grease and grime to pile up on what was once crystal clear glass. Sounds like the perfect test for Dirty Jobs Complete Heavy-Duty Stain Remover and it’s uber Oxygen Power, right? Right.
I opened the door, and applied some of the Dirty Jobs cleaner, then mixed in some water, creating a paste-like texture that I rubbed onto the oven door and let sit for a few minutes. (Note, that isn’t part of the official instructions, but I thought it helped provide time for the stain fighting powers to work.) Then, I grabbed one of my scrubber sponges and added a little bit of elbow grease. I was amazed at how quickly some of the grime and grease stains disappeared from the door. You can see a before/after shot of the results after just a few seconds (may 30 seconds) of scrubbing. I would say that’s a pretty amazing cleaning job.
Next, we went into the laundry room to see how effective it is at removing laundry stains. I used a dirty, greasy kitchen rag as my test cloth. Simply add a measured scoop of the Dirty Jobs Complete Heavy-Duty Stain Remover to your load to help get your clothes cleaner. I was amazed at how well it cleaned the kitchen stains from the rag. There was one stain that was a little tougher, where I should have used the Dirty Jobs cleaner as a stain remover first, letting the oxygen power do it’s thing for awhile before washing, but the results were still impressive.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Dirty Jobs cleaner actually cleaned so many dirty jobs. With a higher concentration of oxygen powered enzyme than any other stain remover on the market, it attacks stains but is gentle on fabrics and other hard surfaces. It makes sense that Mike Rowe from Discovery Channel’s Dirty Jobs would want to get involved since the products are so effective at addressing dirty.
To check out the new Dirty Jobs cleaning products, you can find the full product line in Walmart stores nationwide. You can also purchase the Dirty Jobs Heavy Duty Multi-Surface cleaner online through Amazon.
