Here is an exciting new alternative to using strong petroleum, chlorinated or glycol ether solvents for your heavy duty cleaning and degreasing.
ORANGE SOLV is a type of product that you have never seen work so fast on tar, ink, grease, fresh paint, adhesive or chewing gum – even graffiti can be safely removed on surfaces that are solvent resistant.
Being water soluble and very free rinsing, all surfaces are left squeaky clean and residue free with a quick cold or hot water rinse.
D-Limonene, the exciting product of the future. It comes from the peel of oranges and lemons. It is low in toxicity, it is pleasant to use, it has minimal skin impact (apart from a slight defatting effect). It is biodegradable and it is produced in Australia.

Directions For Use – Hard Surfaces
Most applications require only a wipe on, spray water rinse only or may require surface agitation prior to rinsing.
Non atomising spray the surface to be cleaned, allow a few minutes to activate, then pressure rinse with water. Agitation is only required in the severest soilage.
Carpet Applications
Carpets need only a light wipe but must be “wet towelled” or water extraction rinsed to remove residue. Heavy grease stains may require “working" with your fingers to allow penetration. Where heavy applications are used, double rinse with hot water. Feather stains to reduce the “spot” effect.
NOTE: Most carpet stains re-occur because of poor rinsing so pay attention to this fact. TESTING: Always test ORANGE SOLV on an inconspicuous area of dry carpet (say behind a door) and rinse using a white towel to check for colour transfer or bleeding. Dilute ORANGE SOLV with equal parts water and test again if bleeding occurs
