Burken Boys’ and Girl’s Journey

Wait, it's weird?

Well working on my truck in the driveway naked felt weird that one time so I haven’t since. Plus I had to use a LOT of WD-40 that time.

Such sage advice. I will be sure to share all of these valuable tips with my boys.

Yes, I've used an industrial strength orange oil for the past 25+ years (not the grocery store stuff), and it is the best hand wash and general degreaser that I've ever used. Even better than Goop. And, it is water soluble, so no additional washing needed, and it is safe to use in septic tank systems.

Can you share the nsme of that orange oil with us? If it's available to the public.

Spruce Industries out of NJ (reasonably close to you, Tony).

Problem Solve or Orange Thunder.

I use Problem Solve, and 1 quart of this stuff can last me years, as you only need far less than a teaspoon full, mixed with a bit or water, to fully wash your hands and arms. It is extremely concentrated, and it smells so damn good of orange that I could actually drink it (but, of course, I don't).

I can’t find that online except a gallon for like $150!

I can’t find that online except a gallon for like $150!

This is the page where you can see the two products: http://www.spruceindustries.com/s/c/Chemicals/Degreasers/156-159

The Problem Solve comes in a 12 quart case, and the cost per case is $120.28 (I just spoke to them, to confirm pricing, which is actually cheaper than the price listed on the web site).

Here is the significance/proof of the concentration and effectiveness of this product............

I acquired 1 case of Problem Solve from Spruce Industries 25+ years ago when I did some financial consulting work for them, and I STILL have left about 1/8 of the last quart in that case! And, in addition to my use over the years as a degreaser and hand wash product, my wife periodically uses a tiny amount of it in a load of washing that has stubborn stains in it (specifically melted wax on table cloths).

At a cost of $4.81 per year, doing an outstanding job as a degreaser and hand wash, and providing something of value to my wife that I can 'negotiate' with, I call that one heck of a bargain.

Wow, that's some great stuff!

I recently bought a jug of ZEP Cherry Bomb. Works great!

Joseph got a mulching attachment for his mower for handling fall leaves. Came with two new blades.
