Products. By a great cleaning product, we mean more than just a product that out performs the competition. ADVANAGE 20X is phosphate free and safe for the environment. Add to that affordable—one quart of ultra-concentrated ADVANAGE 20X makes 20 quarts of ready-to-use cleaner—and you can see why ADVANAGE 20X is such a best seller.

Social Contribution. Our social purpose has never wavered. We provide jobs for young Americans who come from the underprivileged neighborhoods of America. They have an opportunity to build a career. No college degree or high school diploma needed. Just a willingness to get off the streets, work hard and make some money.

“My wife bought this from a guy who knocked on our door. We were both extremely dubious, but she now swears by the product… takes her 10% of the time vs other cleaners. I know this sounds too good to be true but it is.” - Artsygirl 71”AG”, Texas
