These generators have to cope with more than just the weather. Apart from the impact of rain and snow, they also have to contend with dust, sand, moss, Insects, oil contamination and pollution. 

Keeping Wind Turbines clean and free of debris makes sure that everything runs at peak efficiency because individual components can perform at their best – for example the blades will then have less wind resistance and clean gearboxes run more smoothly.  

A clean wind turbine, apart from working better and looking smarter, also ensures that there is less ground contamination.

So who does the cleaning?  How do they get up there? What do they do?

Trained professionals climb up with ladders and ropes to gain safe access to exterior of the tower, control rooms and turbine blades. The checks are exhaustive and apart from cleaning the dirt on the blades through scrubbing or power washing, will also encompass checking grease fitting, gear oil, brake pads, electronic systems and the tightness of all the bolts – quite a task.

If only pets could clean up after themselves – how cool would it be to have Rex the dog clean his muddy paw marks. How great would it be if he could operate a washing machine? Well until that time comes it is up to us to make sure that pet spaces are clean as possible, not only for ours’ but also our pets’ health. Here Are Some Simple Green Tips For Cleaning Pet Space:

Don't let that mess set

The faster you clean up the mess, the easier it will be…and the less likely stains will set.

Clean outside the stained area

Liquid messes seep downward and outward, so be sure to also clean the area surrounding the visible stain.

Save those old rubber gloves

Old rubber gloves are great for wiping dog and cat hair off furniture and clothes.

Mats and area rugs

Placing mats under your pet's dish and leaving small area rugs for them to lounge on really saves time and keeps rooms tidy.

Here's a simple way to clean Scuba Tanks

DIRECTIONS:

When in doubt about a surface, always spot test first.

1. When cleaning heavy soils, pre-wet the surface.
   This helps the Simple Green to penetrate soils and makes it easier to wipe clean.
2. Apply the Simple Green solution.
   Allow the product to soak for a minute or so on heavy soils and greasy spills.
3. Scrub, if necessary.
   Scrubbing with a soft bristle brush or non-abrasive scrubbing pad provides agitation that will help to loosen soils and will ensure a thoroughly clean, residue free surface.
4. Rinse with clean water.
   Rinse by wiping with a damp microfiber pad or non-abrasive cloth to insure a residue free surface. Food contact and pet surfaces need to be thoroughly rinsed with clean water.
5. Dry and polish with a clean microfiber pad, non-abrasive cloth, or paper towels.
   For reflective surfaces, glossy finishes, polished metals and glass, this final step will leave a sparkling clean, streak free surface.

One of your worst nightmares…accidentally filling the water tank with fuel – bad enough if it is your own motorhome, scary if it’s a rental.

But don’t beat yourself up! It happens to people more often than you’d imagine. Luckily all is not lost and before you think about replacing the water tank there’s a very good chance that you can solve the problem quite easily.

We’ve had a number of customers who have faced this predicament. With a little bit of effort, following a simple procedure, you can fix the problem.

We’ve had excellent results with Simple Green Crystal. Crystal is a highly effective, concentrated, all-purpose degreaser and cleaner formulated for critical cleaning applications that demand a fragrance-free solution. Crystal contains a blend of highly effective surfactants that are activated by cold or warm water and is an ideal and effective degreaser/cleaner for such situations. Specially developed for the food and health industries, Crystal is NSF labelled A1, A2, A4, A8, B1 and C1 for use in food processing and handling facilities.

What To Do If You’ve Put Diesel In The Water Tank (Assumes a 46L Water Tank)

First flush the motorhome’s water tank out several times  (use the drain hole or siphon out) and then start as follows: Note: Do not try to empty via the sink/shower taps - you want to avoid getting Diesel in other parts of the system as it will be difficult to remove.

Step One

Pour 4L of Simple Green Crystal into the tank and then fill the tank slowly with water. This will make sure that the solution is well mixed in with water 4 L to 46 L water roughly a 1:10 dilution (note if you can use warm water that’s better - no need to go over 40 degrees C)

Leave for a couple of hours at least then drain out through the drain hole or siphon out.

Simple Green Crystal will foam. Soft water will increase the amount of foam produced. Foaming helps in the cleaning as it can get into hard to reach areas - but also means that it hides when flushing.

Step Two

Flush the tank with water and drain/siphon out.

Step Three

Pour 2L of Simple Green Crystal into the tank and fill the tank slowly with water.

Leave it in for an hour then drain out as in Step 1.

Step Four

Flush the tank with water and drain/siphon out.

Step Five

Fill the tank up to about half way, add 1L of Simple Green Crystal with the contents of the tank and then fill the tank slowly with water. This step saves time in filling the tank with water – you can add the Simple Green Crystal first if you wish

Leave for 30 minutes then drain out as above.

Step 6

Fill the tank with water and drain/siphon until there is no foam left.

This should have done the trick but if not then depending on how bad it is then either do another 1L or go to 0.5L and continue.

And…to avoid using too much, check the water after each flush/drain and between the steps, to see if it has already worked. If so flush and drain until there is no foam left.

Note: Foaming is quite normal with surfactants and detergents and increases with mixing and agitation. For the Flush/Drain sequence it is sometimes best to leave the solution to settle and then slowly drain/flush out followed by a slow tank re-fill and slow drain flush out.
