Smart Chemistry

What do you mean when you talk about Smart Chemistry design criteria?
We believe that at the very least chemicals need to be effective, safe for the person using it, safe for the surface it is cleaning and safe for the environment. You would be surprised at how many chemicals don't come close to meeting this criteria.

What else does Smart Chemistry do for me?
It's chemistry that gives you more than you typically expect from a cleaning product. For example, our carpet cleaner (TroubleShooter) actually enhances the vacuuming process. And our all-purpose cleaner (EveryWhere) kills odors in the drain when the waste water is pour out.

Carpet Cleaning Products

Most carpet products clean using high pH. How can your products clean well at pH 7?
Products using high pH actually promote rapid re-soiling in carpets. We use Smart Chemistry to break up dirt and make it easier to remove from the carpet. And we do that in a pH neutral environment.

How do the vacuum enhancement benefits of Progress-A-Clean and TroubleShooter help keep my carpet cleaner, longer?
After they have done the cleaning job, these chemicals use a polymer to wrap up dirt and feed it to your vacuum cleaner. While you are doing scheduled vacuuming, the carpet is getting a little deep cleaning. Your carpet is also left at pH neutral, so it will not actively re-soil.

Are Scout Carpet products carpet mill approved?
Yes.

Floor and Surface Cleaning Products

What do mean when talk about you say Scout cleaners "keep working down the drain"?
Many cleaners just move grease into the drain where it re-greases to cause odors and clogging. EveryWhere and Heavy Duty do not re-grease and actually work to break up existing grease in your drains.

Does EveryWhere work on tile and grout?
Yes, EveryWhere digs into grout and lifts dirt out and washes away, leaving no residue.
