Air

XR or PR into the air as needed. Spray into air return vent
to neutralize odors throughout the air system zone.

Autoclave odors: Before
autoclaving specimens, spray several puffs of XR or PR directly
onto the autoclave bag. For large bags, use one or two teaspoons
in the bag.

Bathrooms,
Showers & Baths: Spray
PR on any surface and wipe with a clean cloth. Spray XR or
PR into the air for "bathroom odors". Pour XR, XC,
PR, or PC into toilet to eliminate odors before they start.
Dilute PC at 1 oz. per gallon of water as a wipe down solution.
Clean all bathroom surfaces: floors, basin, toilet, tub, shower,
windows, vanity, mirrors. Pour PC full strength to a clean
cloth and wipe shower door or shower stalls to remove soap scum.
When an abrasive cleaner is required to remove mineral deposits
from toilets/commodes, shower stalls and exterior window surfaces,
make a paste of Bon Ami (Bon Ami contains 94% feldspar, a natural
clay, and 6% natural soap) with Concentrated X-O PLUS.
This will form a mildly abrasive cleaning polish that will polish
glass, porcelain, stainless steel, ceramic tile, chrome, fiberglass,
Formica, and imitation marble. Sprinkle a small amount of
Bon Ami on a lint-free cloth dampened with PC. Coat the surface
to be cleaned and allow to stand until dry. Polish with a
clean, lint-free cloth. Occasionally, when all else fails,
it will be necessary to use a wet/dry abrasive paper of 600C (fine)
or less on very bad rust stains and mineral deposits. Use
wet/dry paper only as a last resort to restore, never in everyday
cleaning. Porcelain surfaces can be damaged with wet/dry papers
and they should never be used on imitation marble surfaces.
