METHOD ALL-PURPOSE Cleaner

I'm posting to highly recommend the best household/coach cleaner I've found to date -

METHOD ALL-PURPOSE Cleaner


I've been going though the coach kitchen after 2 months on the road (we eat in a lot) and can't believe the overall cleanliness improvement.


I'm ready to toss all the other cleaners many of you typically use. The 6 year old interior propane coach range looks like it just came out of the box!


But see for yourself and watch the following under -

Equipment Reviews.

Got mine at Target for about $3.


Next job - the Wet Bay!

The thread about Allure overheating contains many references to specific rpms for fan speed.
I don't know of any way to read fan rpm. Can anybody help? Jim Biestek

Jim,

I believe there is a instrument that you can obtain to measure the fan speed but if you start the engine when it is cold the fan should obviously run slower. If you pull the fuse in the DS #1 bay labeled "fan control" or something like that it should default to full speed. So if the fan jumps to full speed, loud and obviously moving a great deal of air, then it would seem the fan control is working. However, if it doesn't change at all and the fan seems to be running at a realative high speed making a loud noise and moving lots of air, even while then engine is not up to nomal operating temperature then I would say you have either a problem with the fan controller or sensors that inform the controller to set the fan to high speed.

Steven,

The fan controller on my Inspire and now on my Intrigue are on the bottem rear of the radiator.

Jim - On my bus there is no fan speed sensor. The fan either idles or runs at high speed. Upon startup, the fan will run at high speed for a few seconds then settle down into an idle. Accurately measuring fan speed wouldn't be an easy task unless a sensor of some sort was already installed. You'd need a stroboscope specifically calibrated to measure the speed of rotating parts. This isn't a tool usually found in the handyman's toolkit.

I'm told the controllers that idle the fan were used to avoid the sudden high torque and pressures associated with jackrabbit starts from a dead standstill. Such conditions were blowing hydraulic hoses and ripping apart fan brackets. As previously mentioned, I let the fan run at high speed by pulling the plug to the controller. A more elegant solution is installing a switch. Engine compartment ventilation needs all the help it can get. Heat is the enemy of most electronic and mechanical parts. Cooler is better.

Best - Scott

Lee,

When trying to make intelligent choices, the plethora of general cleaners available on the market can be bewildering. The video you referenced is very useful.

I have come to trust your good judgement in the past. So, I purchased a quart of the "pink grapefruit" scented Method All Purpose cleaner at a Target Store for $2.99. They also offer lavender if you prefer. You are right on target with your review, as usual. It works perfectly as you said. My wife gave it a hearty approval. She said that the price is in line with other similar but, not so environmentally friendly products that we have been using like "Spray 9" and 'Formula 409", petroleum-based cleaners.
We used it in the galley, the shower and toilet with amazing results.
The label states, "...made from corn and coconut..." I do not know how that works but, it does. There is a variety of different products under the Method label including dish and hand soap. We may try these later as needed.
Thanks, "Mr. Natural Chemistry" for sharing your discovery.

Thanks Daron, I'm only the messenger, but do know something is good when I see, and not the usual marketing BS.


Try the hand soap. Works just as well, and you don't need much. Our home bathroom sink is black and usually looks scummy from typical hand soaps after a few days of cleaning. No so with Method, clean as a whistle after 2 weeks.

I'm a lavender guy myself.
