Xtreme Kleen | Product Review

Posted on by

Let me say it’s a good thing I don’t get cable and am not tempted to be sucked into “As Seen On TV” commercials!

Even though there are signs all around my neighborhood, No Solicitors, my doorbell almost always rings for no other reason but someone peddling their goods.  Unfortunately I always listen to their spiel and get sucked in.  Normally I can be very good about saying no but in case you meet the same fate as I did against the incredible convincing and persistent Xtreme Kleen sales person (who cleaned the rim on my car, an oil stain in the driveway, a portion of my stove, the grout between some tile , a stain on the carpet, and ink on the wall…), here’s everything you’ll want t know about the product.

Website: http://xccinc.com/

The official website is listed below.  I used that same address to track them down in the Better Business Bureau…to find out just how legit they were.  I breathed a HUGE sign of relief to find out they got a B, even after 14 complaints being filed in the past 36 months…they had all be resolved.  The website also gives you 3 days to return for a full-money back refund if you’re unsatisfied with your miracle product.  You can also buy some for yourself from the website (I definitely did NOT get this product for free or at a discounted rate so I have no emotional connection to it…)

You get a large gallon jug, a brush with iron bristles and a flip side with soft bristles, 2 steel wood type pads, and a spray bottle with lines for easy ratio measurements.  Basically ratios are some part Xtreme Cleen product and other part water…I bought 3 different colored spray bottles from Ikea and put different ratios in each.  That way I only use the measurement bottle for measurements and don’t need to worry about switching out concentration levels each time I move to another area of the house.

The website also lists the ratios in case you lose the brochure or forget what your options are.

If you have questions you can also contact the company.

Oh, and before I forget, here’s what it can’t do:

It is not recommended for use on silk, satin, suede, low grade latex wall paint or any other surface / fabric not designed to get wet.

I have included some pictures below but am so far impressed on the product’s ability to deliver…I was able to clean my oven and stove fairly quickly, get an ink mark off the wall by myself (not surprised when the sales person can do it…), and most impressively so far…the ability to clean OLD stains on my carpet!  I’m curious to find out others’ experiences, let me know and leave me a comment!

Active Ingredient: 2-Butoxyethanol a.k.a. Butyl Cellosolve is referenced in the website’s “Material Data Safety Sheet“:

organic solvent …colorless…main uses include solvent in paint and cleaning supplies…other uses include firefighting foam, oil spill dispersant, whiteboard cleaners, and herbicides…

Apparently it really does do it all!  Although my sales person said it was non-toxic (demonstrated by a quick taste test…) I don’t think I would chug it if I were you…but you don’t have to take my word for it.  :)

    I purchased this same product some years ago. It was not all that great in my personal situation. I think that if you used that heavy duty, industrial tooth brush with a good amount of soap and water you could get most any stain out of anything. I am not convinced that the product is that great. Glad you liked it.

    I bought this at my front door like a stupid gullible girl. I immediately looked it up online and found tons of “rip-off” reports. Disgusted, I figured I’d try it on everything the guy promised (the oven, the carpet, yellow armpit stains, mirrors, etc) right away within the 3 day guarantee. NOTHING worked. At least not better than my regular cleaners which I used as a side-by-side test (Simple Green and Pledge multi-purpose spray which is awesome, by the way). The product is a joke, it’s like soapy water. However, I must say the lady I interacted with over email about my refund was very courteous and I did receive my refund check in the mail, which is now safely back in my bank account. DO NOT BUY!!! The product is a hoax.

    A salesperson just left my house after demonstrating the product on the cement, porch rail, and window. It was a great cleaner. Years ago I bought a similar product from a door-to-door salesperson. My product did not work as demonstrated unless I used it in a 2-1 ratio. This made it more expensive than anything else. I just checked the Better Business Bureau and the company has a D- rating. Wish I had been more careful years ago.

    Some people collect antiques with the challenge. They get a joy out exploring what is found at any given thrift retail store, garage sale or real estate sale. They test themselves in being able to see the best bargains and the particular rarest items. Both that are key elements to achieving success in the antiques deal.

    such a rip off buy the same pads used in the kits and any cleaneer will do the same. to be honest google the ingredients and find out what you are bringing in your home. not satisfied at all with the cleaner,plus the owner of the company slaves the people who works for him sending them out in any weather at any health theyre in. and owes thousands maybe millions to people who have been and still are working for him. he rips off all everyone from young to old, giving teens 15$- 20$ a day to live off of . hes a cold hearted scam artist and one day it will catch up with him. Mike WRight the owner of the company. He should be prepared for law suites left and right from employees.

    well i can say i didnt buy anything because your sales person was too pushy, hateful didnt get the point when we said no. sprayed my mother with the cemical then took off running when i went outside calling all kinds of names. police were called and we r pressing charges for the damage to my mothers eyes. so they might have a great product idk never tried it but they hire scum to peddle their products. outrageous i have half the mid to sue the company

Works great in my carpet shampooer…way better than any other that I have used and doesn’t seem to leave residue in my white carpets!!!!! My FAVORITE use has been my grout, cleaned it soooo well I have tried many different products and this stuff has cleaned it back to a nice white with very little effort!!!!!

    Paid for product and was told it would be delivered that day, or next day at the latest. Four days have past; no product delivered. I called the Texas office and left a message. No response.

    small bottle…..I paid forty dollars …it was a total waste of my
