Is it bad for paint?
I might pick some APC or APC+ to clean door jams and around the hinges. Which product should i use?

I use APC+ in the door jambs from time to time and then apply some cleaner wax after. I have had good luck with this process.

APC = All Purpose Cleaner!


It may come in handy once you start detailing cars for money too Al!

I've used APC on carpets, fridge handles, countertops, stoves, tools, etc. The 32oz sampler is a great deal, even comes with the APC spray bottle. Oh, and it works pretty well on your car too!

I'll be picking up a gallon of APC+ next time around. Trying to hold out until ADS gets the new 2009 products in.

FYI: You can pickup a Little Green Machine Refurb for $50 shipped off eBay. Target has the Little Green Machines this week for $90 in my area.

I LOVE APC+ It seems like I use more around the house then on cars! I literally use it for just about everything. It's my go to bottle if there's a mess in the car or in the house. It's especially good to clean tennis shoes with too.

Re: Uses of All Purpose Cleaner?

Lots of disconnected thoughts, but....

1. Where is APC+ at the Meg's Store? It is still shown at ADS, but I don't see it at Meguiar's.

It's a limited release product that isn't sold at the Meg's store. There are 3 or 4 limited products.

2. I happen to be a big fan of the APC. It is my understanding that today's APC replaced the APC+ of several years ago. That product was one of my favorites and the new APC seems to perform the same for me.

From my understanding there was APC+ that was replaced by APC. Now the new APC+ came out. I've never used the original version of APC+.

3. In my spray on, let dwell, then brush or wipe use, I don't have any problem with excess foaming. Is the foaming problem something that only happens with extractors?


Should only be a problem with extractors. The dirty water tank tends to get full of foam rather quickly. I also think it's more for people that use the APC in the solution tank of the extractor.

5. Other than non foaming and a less objectionable odor, (which I have no problem with), are there some other reasons for preferring the APC+?

From my use it seems APC+ is a little better at cutting grease and oil. I had one client complain about the smell of APC after I cleaned his carpet. That prompted me to order some APC+.

My comments are in blue above. Hope I've helped.

4. The statement in the APC ad copy, "its unique blend of fabric softeners and optical brighteners enhance the look and feel of carpet, upholstery, vinyl and even leather." was one of the reasons I first started using the product. The later APC+ made no reference to fabric softeners and optical brighteners. I guess I felt that they would be a good thing to have so I stayed with today's version of APC.

5. Other than non foaming and a less objectionable odor, (which I have no problem with), are there some other reasons for preferring the APC+?

6. I happen to use today's APC mixed at 10:1 for just about all of my "All Purpose Cleaning". It's nice to just need one spray bottle for so many uses.

7. My carpeted mats get a vacuum, APC/brush, vacuum again, cleaning every time I wash the vehicles so they are rarely very dirty. Having once read where this "surface cleaning" really didn't clean them, I tried an experiment. After my usual cleaning process, I took the mats in the house and soaked/scrubbed them in the shower. (MY wife would have shot me if I had used the tub) The wash water from cleaning the mats was not at all dirty which makes me think my "surface cleaning" isn't doing all that bad.

8. Last, but not least. I have tried a lot of all purpose cleaners over the years and still find Meg's APC to be my favorite by a large margin.

Re: Uses of All Purpose Cleaner?

I like apc+ because of the low foaming action. Once you get the product you will be amazed at all of the things you will clean with it.

Re: Uses of All Purpose Cleaner?

I use APC+ for all carpet and upholstery cleaning, and APC for everything else.

Re: Uses of All Purpose Cleaner?

I like APC+ just because it doesn't foam like APC, and the scent is way better when you are doing an interior job.

I think that you can dilute a little bit more APC+ compared to APC

Re: Uses of All Purpose Cleaner?

Both work very well... once you have either or both you will find endless uses! If I had to choose between the two... APC+ because it has a better as mentioned above.
