Whole Home Care - the Watkins Way! In simpler times, people took great pride in keeping a spotless house, and home-makers with discriminating taste could count on the Watkins Man to deliver the very best in home care products. As luck would have it, that pride in homemaking is making a resurgence in a big way! No one will ever argue that cleaning the house is a fun chore, but it is one of the necessary rituals of life. Our hectic schedules of today do not make this job any easier and we recognize that all too well! Watkins offers a fantastic line of products for cleaning every room of the house. Wherever possible, they are engineered to be completely earth-friendly; many offer extra strength and economy through concentration; still others are noted for their versatility in doing numerous jobs around the home. As well as working great, we think you will
be pleased to see that Watkins Home Care Line also looks great, too!
Our packing is reminiscent of a long-gone era, of a simpler and
less-stressed time. You'll feel your Grandmother and even your
Great-Grandmother working along side you as you go through your "chores"
Watkins Home Care Line Offers: Concentrated Products The fastest growing trend in home care products today is concentration. That's good news for those of us in the Watkins business because we've been making concentrated products for years! The benefits of concentrated products are two-fold: saving money and saving the environment. By making products that are concentrated, Watkins is not selling water or other materials that take up space but provide little value. The cost savings to the customer can be substantial. For example, Watkins Degreaser is so concentrated, it can be diluted 256 times and function as an effective spray cleaner! Everyone realizes that concentrated products save money, and - let's face it - it's the bottom line that concerns most consumers. But products like this have an additional benefit that many people identify as a major concern - saving the environment. By purchasing concentrated products, you help the environment by creating less packaging to end up in landfills. For example, if Watkins Generation III Laundry Detergent does the work of three boxes of your old brand, you have just contributed two fewer containers to your local landfill. (Not to mention the gasoline you saved by not having to drive to the store two more times to buy detergent!) In the case of plastic bottles, the same theory applies; of course, you have few bottles to recycle (yes, our plastic bottles are recyclable by most systems). Nature's Cleaners When most people think of cleaning products, they think of harsh chemicals. We're not going to preach against their use; certainly, some of our products contain some pretty tough stuff that gets the job done better than anything else. We want you to know that all of our products are safe when used as directed. And when the technology becomes available to make a more natural product that still works as well, you can bet that we'll be taking the lead. Here are some examples of natural-based products used by Watkins for your home: Bacteria: Sounds bad, but there are actually many good bacteria on this planet, including those in your own body. Modern technology has discovered certain bacterial strains that literally eat fats (grease) and other organic substances that can cause odors, create stains and clog drains. Some of these bacteria have been in a dormant state for hundreds of years, "coming alive" when put into the right medium and exposed to their food source. Some bacteria are also beneficial to septic systems, keeping them "alive" for better waste decomposition. These bacteria may be found in Odor Chek, Odor Zap, Bio-Drain Opener, Stain Pro Rug Cleaner and Permanent Odor Eliminator for Pet Problems. Cocamide DEA: A mild but effective surfactant derived from coconut oil. Dissolves grease and oil without caustics, harsh acids or harmful solvents; helps prevent rusting. Can be made in various strengths, and is even safe enough for use in personal care products. This is featured in Degrease, Organic Cleaner, and Outdoor Wash. d-Limonene: A naturally-occurring grease-cutting solvent found in the peels of citrus fruits. Works well and leaves a refreshing citrus fragrance. This is featured in Citrus All-Purpose Cleaner, Stain Pro Grease, Tar and Gum Remover, and Finished Wood Cleaner and Restorer. Enzymes: Natural substances that attack proteins. Although they are not living organisms, enzymes are created by plants and animals (we produce them in our own bodies to help digest foods). Whether featured with bacteria or by themselves, enzymes can be powerful cleaners. Enzymes are featured in Organic Automatic Dishwashing Detergent, Stain Pro Rug Cleaner and Watkins Laundry Detergent. Pine Oil: One of the few powerful disinfectants found in nature. Leaves a refreshing, deodorizing aroma. Featured in Pine Oil Disinfectant. Versatility: Our Multi-Use Products Watkins products can help save time and money by doing the work of several "mainstream" products. Here are examples of some of our more versatile cleaners: Organic Cleaner:
The ultimate all-purpose, earth-friendly
cleaner. For general cleaning, use 1 teaspoon/5 ml. to 1 quart/litre
of water. Great for kitchens, woodwork, walls, appliances, bathroom Degreaser: Nearly as versatile as Organic Cleaner, but specially formulated to be tougher on grease.
Bathroom Cleaner Plus:
An excellent toilet bowl cleaner and more; use
as a hard-surface cleaner
Mineral Deposit Remover:
Previously marketed simply as
Window and Glass Cleaner: Alcohol and ammonia-free, this is excellent for windows, mirrors and other glass, helping to prevent smudges and fingerprints, and actually works to repel dust - plus:
Watkins Brand New "Shredsope" Line of Products: A growing trend in home care is to elevate the laundry room from a closed-off hideaway to a focal point. As we reconnect with nurturing in the new millennium, people are looking for products that lend an air of nostalgia and indulgence to everyday tasks. Our Shredsope line of home care products fits right into this trend.
Along with our fabulous laundry detergents, Watkins also offers all of the corresponding "support" products as well: Laundry White, Pre-Wash Stain Remover and Fabric Softener - all of which are just as hard-working and concentrated! Products that "sell" themselves! Many Watkins quality products seem to sell themselves (through word of mouth by our customers). Here are a few testimonials and helpful hints that have worked for others and may help you!

Toilet Bowl Cleaner: Got
tougher toilet problems? Nothing can compare to this - our strongest
toilet bowl cleaner! Our "buffered" Hydrochloric Acid formula will
tackle the toughest iron and calcium deposits as well as their stains!
Actually, until it was replaced by our "Ephedrine-free" Weight Management
System (WMS), our Toilet Bowl Cleaner was our #1 selling product in
Canada!! Note: For Non-Porcelain
toilets (Campers, RV, Boats, etc.) use Bathroom Cleaner Plus (above).

Pine Oil Disinfectant:
The US
product is concentrated, with nearly five times the pine oil of Pine-Sol.
The Canadian product, by law, contains less pine oil, but is fortified
with extra disinfectants. Excellent for floors, but there's so much

Linen Spray: There’s nothing like clean, fresh linens—especially
when they smell great! Refresh your pillow, sheets and other linens
regularly with a burst of our unique vanilla/citrus Shredsope scent. Our
non-staining Linen Spray evaporates quickly, and is great for freshening
clothing that’s been in storage. 
Shredsope
Ironing Spray: Most people keep a spray bottle of water next to
the ironing board to help release wrinkles... but tap water can leave
mineral deposits and develop a stale aroma when left in the bottle. Our
Ironing Spray is specially deionized and treated so it stays fresh and
evaporates cleanly, leaving behind only the nostalgic vanilla/citrus
Shredsope scent. It’s the civilized way to iron!
Shredsope
Fine Linen Wash: Fine lingerie can make you feel truly special.
Those items worn closest to the skin need a little extra TLC, and satin,
silk and lace are too fragile for the washing machine. Our gentle wash
will get your unmentionables impeccably clean while treating them and
yourself to a soft touch and beautiful scent.
Watkins Laundry Detergent - with NO
fragrance or dyes - is formulated especially for sensitive people with
allergies, asthma, skin conditions, and even the most tender of baby
laundry. (40-80 loads per box)
