"I wanted to touch base to let you know that we did get our bottle of the Bio Green Clean, and had the chance to test it in a number of ways for a few days.
It did a fine job on the standard things I tested it on at home (kitchen, bathroom, the usual suspects), and being able to use something that works as well as, or even better than other products, with the added advantage of being pure green does speak well for it.
The real fun though began when the boys around the shop each took a turn, and of course being boys they were off and running on the odd and difficult issues, which is where BGC leaves others in the dust (didn't actually intend it as a pun, but I kind of like it, so it stays). Mark had problems with his computer mouse, which has rubber sides that had become tacky over time, and for almost a year he tried everything he could think of to get rid of the stick. He decided that was his test area, and the man was floored (and pretty excited) when BGC totally eliminated the tackiness completely.
Next up, running around trying it out of anything and everything we could think of. The biggest test was on one of the company vans, that had brownish stains down the sides of the white van. Over the years, we have tried having them removed at car washes and repair shops, and nothing would get the stains out, but the BGC took it off with no waiting - just sprayed it on and wiped the streaks away.
So in summation, we tried it, we really liked it, and yes, D/R Services (and WinSol Power Company) do want to be a wholesaler of BGC products. We will put together our first wholesale order, this week!
I can't wait to take some home again - after seeing the effect it had on the boys around the shop I'm anxious to see if I can get the same response from my husband; maybe I won't have to do any cleaning myself for a while!

"Save Serious Bucks!
I've been using Bio Green Clean for years now and have a list of stunning BGC successes (dried blood stains totally removed! male tomcat pee odor disappears! epoxy unstuck! terrible spills and other boo-boos quickly dealt with! Texas farmhouse floor clean as a whistle! and most of all, no hacking cough and sudden sneezes from perfumed chemicals!). I keep meaning to write you about these triumphs, but for now just wanted to reassure tentative byers that this stuff you heard about in a radio commercial really works.
As I signed up for my next (third? fourth?) gallon today, I had a little anxiety attack about spending the $90. But the truth is, Bio Green Clean has already saved this household megabucks in laundry soap, general cleaning materials, and not having to replace items of clothing that have survived horrendous spills and smells thanks to this product. When I think of the row of useless, costly "cleaning" products I used to accumulate under the kitchen sink, that $90 feels like one of the best investment anyone could make.
Did I mention the pleasure of coming home to a "clean" smell rather than a chemical smell?
Thank you, Ed, and thank you BGC!

"My husband, an avid fisherman, brought home a cooler full of shad to process. Shad is the largest of the herring family, a smelly, bony fish that is mostly used for bait. But my husband smokes it and cans it, and it's a delightful treat on crackers.
So he spent most of Saturday smoking the fish, in a brand new and borrowed smoker. Exhausted by the end of the day, he decided Sunday was a fishing day, and left the canning process to me.
As I was processing the fish, I took a look at the lovely new smoker--but it was covered with a thick, sticky goo from the brine, plus smoke and ash, all baked on. I got out the Bio Green Clean, and sprayed the interior, the racks, the pans, and everything else that smelled like fish.
I let it sit for about fifteen minutes, and wiped out all the mess. I couldn't believe how easily it removed all the baked on residue and eliminated all of the smell. Is there anything that Bio Green Clea"Frankie OR
"Hi Everyone,
I purchased Bio Green Clean awhile back from Ed Schultz's website: www.wegoted.com
Well, it's one fantastic product! I can use it with impunity and I do not have a problem from breathing fumes. No more waking up at 2 am with a cough, when I clean. There are no fumes. Bio Green Clean is made from plants and minerals. I could probably drink it, but I won't! I was so tickled with this cleaner that I called the manufacturer with an endorsement. One afternoon, when riding around in the car, I happened to tune into Big Eddie's Show on 1210 am and lo and behold I heard Ed ask the manufacturer of Bio Green Clean if he thought Carol would buy another gallon? I heard myself talking and it was such a delightful surprise to know that they liked the endorsement enough to air it. Well yesterday, I received a bottle of Bio Green Clean in the mail. This is a pricey product, cost $89.95 for the gallon but I use hardly any because you mix it with water. I have two spray bottles going, 7:1 ratio for bathroom mold on grout, cleaning the back deck and 10:1 ratio for light jobs like kitchen floor, sinks, appliances. I thought you'd like to know that I am a Bio Green Clean contest winner!

"Hi Bio Green Clean,
I have been a longtime listener of the Ed Schultz radio show, and often hear you talking about Bio Green Clean. I kept thinking that no product could be *that* good :)
Anyway, I have an old Victorian house (built in 1904). It has years of accumulated grime in places, from various past owners. I have 3 cats and a dog, and don't like to use harsh chemicals around my house, particularly on floors. Finally, last week, I decided to try Bio Green Clean out, after hearing another great testimonial.
Two problems I have just solved with Bio Green Clean :-
1. Ground-in dirt on kitchen floor tiles
My kitchen floor tiles are rough-surfaced, an odd choice for a kitchen floor, and years of dirt accumulated in the crevices, particularly on the tile borders near the grout. A couple of scrubbings with a brush and Bio Green Clean took all those years of gunk right out, where no other floor cleaner has worked. It will be much easier maintenance from here on out.
2. Residue from Double-Sided Tape
I'm a dedicated energy-saver around the house, and like to use those plastic window sheets that get taped to the window frame in winter, for insulation. Trouble is, one can never get the double-sided tape off properly afterwards. I was wary of using a goo-removing product because they often strip the finishes too. The previous homeowner had used plastic sheets also, but not removed the tape residue, resulting in ugly, yellowed strips of dried tape adhesive on the window frames.
A couple of applications of Bio Green Clean, and a little scrubbing, took the old residue off, and I'm going to feel better about my window insulation next winter !
Thanks SO much, Bio Green Clean !

After 38 years of being the primary cleaner-upper at our house, I was skeptical about trying ANOTHER new product, but my husband insisted that we buy Bio Green Clean.... (Ed Schultz listener!).
Holy cow! What is in this cleaning product?
It is the best cleaner I have ever tried, and has replaced a closetful of hardly used bottles and tons of elbow grease. No stinky odor either.
We use it at all different strengths to clean windows, tubs and sinks, grout lines, greasy kitchen counters and stainless hoods, cabinets and stoves, Even the calcium crust around faucets.
By the way, 1/2 qt., with daily use, has lasted 4 months.
Now, cleaning is definitely a much more productive and satisfying activity.
Thank you so much!

"We live on a 40 acre farm in rainy, muddy western Oregon. The dogs go out and get filthy, and even when they just go out to pee, they come in with muddy paws. I hate to buy wipes with chemicals and high prices, so I took a big plastic lidded container and poured some Bio Green Clean concentrate in, added some water, and then tore off paper towels and put them in, pressing them down until the container was packed tight and the towels were all wet or damp. Closed it up and put it within reach of the back door. Now we just grab a wipe or two and get those paws on the way in.
One dog finds stuff in the woods to roll in - nasty stuff - and instead of a whole bath, some of those wipes even take care of that.
I could go on about the other ways I use Bio Green Clean, but others have, and this might not have been covered by anyone else.
Thank you!

"I have always been amazed at how this product has dissolved even cooked on grease, and is an amazing general cleaner, allowing me to clean the grout in my tile floor to like new condition. I deal in Oriental art, and there is a very fragile copper-gold alloy, shakudo, that patinates to a blue black, that is unfortunately subject to oxidation with handling. Soap and water, alcohol, and acetone will not clean it. Generally, it requires that the piece be stripped down and the patination removed, and then repatinated, a time consuming and expensive endeavor. I tried Bio Green Clean on a seventeenth century Japanese kozuka, and the oxidation was cleaned off in ten seconds, without any damage to the base patina.
Thank you,
"Andrew MN
"I purchased Bio Green Clean a few weeks ago, after hearing Ed Schultz talk about it for the past couple of years. It seemed a bit pricy, but I do trust Ed's word. I read many of the testimonials on the website. Still, I remained skeptical and doubtful......what a pleasant surprise! This product provides splendid, wonderful results. I use it on almost anything and everything. I heard the man on the ES Show describes how it makes everything sparkle. That is no understatement!
Last weekend, I put it to the real test: I have a large Weber grill on my patio. What a giant greasy mess. I was not looking forward to this task. First, I scraped off the grease and the burnt, leftover grime that was built up inside and out. Next, I dampened the surfaces with the hose and sprayed on full strength BGC. I let it soak for about 5-10 minutes. Then, with an abrasive scrubby sponge and a brush, I went to town scrubbing away. I rinsed everything quite well and let it dry. My grill now looks as good as new, if not better! I love Bio Green Clean!
Thanks to Ed for sharing this product!
"Jermaine NY
"Hello,
I've used BGC for everything and just found one more use. I came in the house with my dog after a walk, and saw he was bothered by something on the bottom of his foot. I checked and saw he had evidently stepped in a big wad of pine sap, and small bits of gravel and debris were stuck in it, all in between the pads of his foot, caught in the hair. He's a small dog, so I put him on my lap and tried picking it out, but it was sticky and wasn't coming out, and it pulled his hair, so he didn't let me continue. I knew BGC was natural and safe, so I thought why not try it? I sprayed some BGC (3:1) on a paper towel and used it to soak his foot, rubbing gently, and very quickly the pine sap and all the gravel and debris were removed. My dog didn't mind because I didn't have to pull his hair. It's all gone, and that foot is the cleanest of the 4! Thank you!

"Talk about Honesty in Advertising. Finally, a product that actually does what it claims to do, and more.
We live in a hard-water area. Very hard. For years I tried everything on the hard-water encrusted glass shower door, all the usual tile cleaners, bathroom cleaners, straight CLR, Lime-Away, pumice stone, powdered cleansers, you name it. Nothing. Zero. Zip.
A couple of applications of 50% Bio Green Clean and all the hard-water deposits and soap scum were gone. Zip. Zero. All clean. Could not believe my eyes.
I've since used it on a stainless steel steamer that (oops) was left on the heat too long, the water boiled away and it got horribly scorched. I thought it was permanently ruined. I used Bio Green Clean at full strength, let it sit for a while, and with only a little elbow grease, got it clean. I was truly surprised .
No doubt about it. This stuff does what you claim it does. And being "green" is a huge bonus.
Thanks for a great product!

"Love the product! I bought the gallon originally to wash my deck of lichens and mold prior to fresh treatment, worked unbelievably well, the 8 year old wood looked new. Since then, and still having lots left, I have kept a tally on the bottle of 3:1 refills, I'm up to 11 so far and still going strong. I'm a land surveyor and occasionally encounter poison ivy between where I am and where I need to go. i do my best to avoid it, but sometimes, it ends up getting on me, the symptomatic blisters showing up later that evening...I've tried washing off the oil based irritant with soap and water to no avail, but if I spritz on some BGC, lather it up real good and rinse it off...Voila! The blisters subside and the symptoms that follow never happen...I did purchase a clear, graduated spray bottle that makes mixing a fresh batch very easy, not having to involve another container. I'll be buying another gallon if I can ever get all the way through this one!
Great product!

"I heard about your product on the Ed Schultz show and thought I'd give it a try. If I can exchange all the toxic cleaning products for one single all natural product, I am all for it. The fact that it was ALL natural was an incredible selling point. I've listened to all these testimonials and have actually had a few successes of my own with this product, but today actually prompted me to write and say THANK YOU! And here is my testimonial.
I'm a redhead... and thanks to the aging process, I need to keep it naturally red through, um, chemical processes. My stylist was dying my air today and dripped a large amount of dye onto the apron that would normally protect my clothing. Unfortunately, the dye seeped through the apron and stained my pink sweatshirt I was wearing. Well, if you know anything about hair dye... it's permanent and DOES NOT come out of anything, leaving unsightly stains and more than likely ruining the clothing item. So I thought I would give Bio Green Clean a try. I was not deluding myself, but had nothing to lose but to try. Bio Green Clean completely removed the stain from my fleece sweatshirt. I was excited about this product prior to this incident, but this just clinched my loyalty to your product!
"Nancy L. IL
"Due to a medical condition, it's hard for me to speak clearly, so I can't leave a testimonial over the phone. But even if I can't enter your contest,
I would like to tell you my story because I love this product so much.
A friend of mine passed on to me an old Lazy Boy recliner that someone offered her. She picked it up, sight unseen, and brought it to my house. While the chair was still as sturdy as ever, the dusty pink upholstery was quite stained and dirty from years of use and a decade of storage. Of course I grabbed my 3-to-1 bottle of Bio Green Clean and started spraying the worst spots, seat first. And it looked horrible! The seat suddenly had different colored circular rings all over it, and we were horrified. I began to panic. But then I realized that the color was different because the sprayed parts had actually come clean and bright immediately on contact with the Bio Green Clean! So we sprayed the whole chair from top to bottom and scrubbed the dirtier areas a bit with a cloth covered sponge. Then we rinsed, using my friend's little green deep cleaning machine, and wow! we had a "new" chair! The difference was astonishing, no rings, no spots, just a brighter, pinker and very respectable looking chair, all with just Bio Green Clean and water. And of course there was no leftover chemical smell or residue! What a winner this product is, its uses are endless, and for anyone with health issues, this is very important. Thank you again and again for your wonderful Bio Green Clean.
