Bon Appetit!

Dishwasher heat can cause plastics to leach toxic chemicals, so skip the dishwasher and use Force of Nature to clean kids’ plates, bowls, cups and utensils. Spray thoroughly, let sit for 2 minutes, then air dry.

Sippies and Water Bottles

Clean sippy cups, straw cups and water bottles by spraying inside with Force of Nature, shaking so it reaches all the nooks and crannies, then letting everything air dry.

Squeaky Clean

Bath toys are full of nooks and crannies that can trap icky old water and soap scum. After tub time, spray toys with Force of Nature, making sure to get into holes and creases, then let them air dry.

Playtime

Whether it’s lovies, blocks, trains or action figures, don’t forget those post-playtime cleanings with Force of Nature. Spray toys until wet, let sit 2 minutes, then air dry.

Pop Quiz

Think about how many surfaces backpacks and lunchboxes touch in a day. Spray them inside and out with Force of Nature after each use to clean away grime and keep germs from hitching a ride home with your kiddos.

Roadtrip

Kid carpools, snacks and spills happen. Use Force of Nature to clean car seats, booster seats, seat belts, windows, consoles and cup holders. On seats and carpet, start with a spot test in an inconspicuous area to ensure the material is colorfast, then spray and let air dry.

Diaper Duty

For cloth diapers, remove as much of the “soil” as possible, then soak in Force of Nature for about 10 minutes either before or instead of putting them in the washer. It’s an easy way to clean and deodorize without fragrances or other ingredients that can irritate delicate skin.

Stinky Pails and Cans

Festering trash cans and diaper pails got you down? Spray them regularly with Force of Nature, making sure to saturate the source of the stink (liners, lids, seams and crevices).

Pet Messes & Habitats

From puppy puddles to hamster hideaways, Force of Nature helps you clean, deodorize and tackle germs wherever your furry (or finned!) family members hang out. Use these tips to keep pet spaces fresh without fragrances, dyes or harsh residues.

Pet Accidents

Test rugs in an inconspicuous spot to confirm they’re colorfast. Remove as much of the mess as possible, then spray the area with Force of Nature until it’s thoroughly wet. Wait 2 minutes, use a scrub brush or paper towel to wipe until clean, then saturate once more and let air dry.

Pet Gear

Sure they lick our floors without a second thought, but furry family members need clean gear too. Spray bowls, toys, leashes, collars, crates and beds with Force of Nature regularly and let everything air dry. When bedding gets extra stinky, saturate thoroughly before washing to help deodorize.

Litter Boxes

After you scoop out waste, spray the litter left behind with Force of Nature to deodorize. Once a week, remove all the litter from the box, spray the box until it’s wet (including corners and edges), then let air dry completely before adding fresh litter.

Fish Tanks

When Flipper needs a tank refresh, take him out and empty the tank first. Spray the empty tank and accessories thoroughly with Force of Nature, making sure to hit corners and crevices, then let everything air dry completely before refilling with fresh water and returning your fish.

Happy Habitats

Besides removing soiled bedding each day, give cages and habitats a weekly deep clean. Put your furry friend in a cozy spot, then spray the cage, hideaways, bowls and toys with Force of Nature until they’re wet. Let everything sit for 2 minutes then air dry.

Mold, Mildew & Odors

Musty washers, damp gear and mystery smells don’t stand a chance. Use Force of Nature to clean, deodorize and tame mold and mildew on surfaces that tend to stay wet, from washing machine gaskets and camping gear to patio furniture, pools and shoes.

Hold The Mold

Stop that musty, moldy washing machine smell by treating the rubber gaskets after each cycle. Wipe away any visible grime, then spray the gaskets, door seal and detergent drawer thoroughly with Force of Nature and let them dry naturally with the door slightly open.

Camping Gear

After each trip, spray down tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, boots and coolers with Force of Nature to clean and help stop odors. Pay extra attention to damp, musty spots, saturate thoroughly, then let everything dry completely before storing.

Sponge Grunge

Sponges and scrub brushes wipe tons of gross surfaces and stay damp, which is basically an odor and mold invitation. Rinse and wring them out, then spray thoroughly with Force of Nature and let air dry.

Deck Time

Patio furniture is a magnet for mold and mildew. Spray outdoor tables, chairs and cushions regularly with Force of Nature.

Stinky Shoes

Shoes and cleats can get ripe in a hurry. For the first treatment, take out any removable insoles and saturate the inside of the shoes and insoles with Force of Nature until wet, then let air dry completely. After that, spray inside shoes after each wearing to help keep odors from coming back.
