Pet Stains in Carpets:
On fresh urine stains, blot up as much as possible.
Spray the area with general purpose mix,
and allow 1-2 minutes to emulsify
the stain and odour before removing with a damp cloth.
On old pet stains, spray on a strong mix, or concentrate
followed by a spray of water. Allow 1-2 minutes to emulsify the
stain and odour. Application may need to be repeated, but Orange
TKO WILL remove the stain, and the odour that goes along with
it!
Pet Odour Control:
For indoor use, light mix should be sufficient. Use general purpose
mix outdoors. Spray directly on the odour source, or spray into
the air to freshen the room.
Clean Kennels, Cages and Litter Boxes:
Spray on general purpose mix, and allow 1-2 minutes to emulsify.
Wipe down with a sponge or cloth. Rinse litter boxes with water.

Gardening
Organic growers: Orange TKO is organic.
Clean lawn mower and machinery with 2-4 oz of TKO per gallon
of water.
System flush: D'limonene is an important nutrient within
all plants to fight disease. It naturally reduces fungi on roots,
root gnats, and mites. It also cleans the root system. Use 4
oz of Orange TKO in 45 gallons of water, or 1/2 oz in 5 gallons
of water. Foaming will occur to assist in reducing nutrient build
up.
Plant nutrients: Add 1 oz of TKO to 45 gallons of water.
Foaming naturally occurs to release d'limonene to the plant,
which cleans the root system and allows the plant to absorb nutrients
more freely.

Degreasing
Engines and Machinery
Use water hose or pressure washer with water only to wash off
loose debris and wet area to be cleaned. While engine is still
wet, spray concentrated TKO on entire area. Allow 10 -15 minutes
to emulsify grease and oil. Rinse area with water from hose or
pressure washer. No toxic fumes and no danger to your skin or
the vehicles paint! TKO works well on a cold engine, but works
even better if the engine is warm (but not hot). Orange TKO is
not corrosive and leaves no residue.
Removing Grain Dust From Machinery
Spray machinery with general mix of Orange TKO. Allow 3 - 5 minutes
to emulsify. Spray off with water from hose or pressure washer.
Degrease Motors:
Use water hose or pressure washer with water only to wash off
loose debris and wet area to be cleaned. While engine is still
wet, spray concentrated TKO on entire area. Allow 10-15 minutes
to emulsify grease and oil. Rinse area with water from hose or
pressure washer. No toxic fumes and no danger to your skin or
the vehicle's paint! TKO works well on a cold engine, but works
even better if the engine is warm (but not hot).
Interior:
Use general mix to clean carpets, upholstery and interior panels.
Allow time to emulsify on stains. Will remove grease, oil, tar,
coffee, etc. from carpets and upholstery. If heavily soiled,
textured vinyl may need soft brush to clean thoroughly. Use mist
mix for windows. If streaks appear, solution is too strong. Add
more water. Makes a great deodorizer!
Exterior:
Remove road tar, grease or oil by spraying concentrate followed
by a mist of water. Allow time to emulsify and wipe off. May
need to reapply TKO if tar is heavy or has been there a long
time.
Remove bugs and tree sap with light mix. Spray on, allow
a minute or two to emulsify, and wipe off.
Whitewall tires: Spray general to strong mix on tires,
give time to emulsify, then wipe off. May need to use soft brush
to help loosen grime.
Chrome shines like new by using mist to light mix.
Oil on Pavement:
Spray strong mix on oil stain, or wet it with water and spray
concentrate. Allow 5-10 minutes to emulsify. Work stain with
old broom to help break up the oil. Hose off with water. This
will remove all of the oil from the surface, but if the pavement
is particularly porous, and a light stain remains, you may use
a carpet cleaning machine with water and TKO instead of shampoo
to remove the remaining stain. The carpet cleaner forces the
TKO into the pores and sucks it back out, along with the oil.
* Ideal to carry a bottle of mist mix while traveling to keep
windshield free of bugs! *

RECREATION
VEHICLE (RV) APPLICATIONS
General Cleaning - 100% Natural, All Purpose Cleaner

of water) for general cleaning of interior or exterior of R.V.
(Walls, floors, countertops, stove, etc.)
Stain Remover for Carpets and Upholstery
Removes pet stains, food stains, coffee, tea, wine, tar, grease,
oil, etc. Two (2)oz/gallon of water works for most. May need
to use stronger for tough stains. Spray on and leave sit 1 -
3 minutes to emulsify, then remove with a damp cloth. May also
be used in carpet cleaner - 1 to 2 oz/gallon of water.
Windows and mirrors
1/2 oz/gallon of water. Use as a mist of TKO for windows and
fixtures. If streaks appear, solution is too strong! Add more
water. See product sheet for more applications.
Remove tar
Spray mist of concentrate then a mist of water. Let sit 3
- 5 minutes to emulsify, then wipe off. May need to reapply for
old or heavy tar. * Do not spray concentrate on plastic surfaces!
Use strong mix of 1 oz TKO in 24 oz spray bottle of water for
plastic.
Septic Tank Odor Control
Add 1-2 ounces of TKO to 3 cups of water and pour down toilet.
Important: Always use mixed solution! DO NOT PUT CONCENTRATED
TKO ON PLASTIC SURFACES! DILUTE WITH WATER FIRST!
Eliminate bad odors and taste in fresh water system
Recommended by Highways Magazine. Mix 5 - 10 oz. of Orange
TKO in a gallon of water and put into fresh water holding tank.
Always mix with water before pouring into tank - never put concentrated
TKO on plastic surfaces! Add approximately 9 more gallons of
fresh water. (If you wish to use more water, add TKO so that
the mix is 1/2 oz per gallon of water to 1 oz per gallon of water.)
Bounce trailer to agitate, then run it through the water system.
Don't forget the hot water tap to clean out the water heater.
Run about half of it through, then leave it sit for 3 - 5 minutes.
Run the remaining mix through the lines. Rinse by adding fresh
water to the tank and running it through the lines. If there
is any orange odor or taste to the water, it will go away after
a couple of rinses. Orange TKO is 100% natural and is not a poison.
Do not leave in system for extended periods of time - orange
odor and taste may be more difficult to get rid of.
Degrease motors in motorhomes
Pressure wash engine with water to remove loose dirt and grime.
While still wet, spray mist of concentrate, or spray strong mix
of 10 - 20 oz of TKO per gallon of water over the area to be
