Formula 409-lightweight, greaseless, low scent Gum Remover (1 Comment)

What's Your Idea?

I have been using Formula 409 for a long time, and it's always worked well. However, I recently discovered a very nice new feature that it can do, and wanted to pass it on.
I chew gum every night before going to sleep, and sometimes when I take it out of my mouth, it doesn't make it onto the dresser, or wherever. So, sometimes I'll find it on the rug, or this last time, somehow it got on me and my sheets. What a mess!
The thing about gum is that it's really sticky, and if it has color, that seeps into the fabric. And I really don't care for the turpentine type removers, or Goof Off because of the smell, especially on my bed sheets.
So the other day, I only had 409 and no other degreasers and decided to try it on the gum. It did a great job on the rug! It worked really fast, and was easy to use, with little smell.
Then I used it on my sheets. The gum was smeared across the sheets in many places. I kept putting the 409 on it, let it soak, and after a few rounds, it got all of it off. I can tell you, I was definitely impressed.
This is a new use of this product for me, and I'm glad I discovered it. Why did I discover it? Because I didn't happen to have any other degreasers on hand. Lucky us, yes?

If it ain't broke

don't fix it. 409 is GREAT and doesn't need any changes. My idea is to leave it as is, and don't ruin a good thing.

GENTLE SCRUBBING PAD FOR CERAMIC COOKTOP (2 Comments)

Idea by catchatcaren

What's Your Idea?

Would love to create a GENTLE scrubbing pad for a ceramic cooktop that actually works!

would be great to push a button while scrubbing and have the cleaning agent dispense directly on cooktop AND have it actually work on cooked in boiled water that collects in an ugly ring on the top of the range.

409 Roller Mop (1 Comment)

Mon, 03 Sep 2012 00:47:08 +0000

Idea by behibb

What's Your Idea?

I think it would be a good idea to invent a mop that is in the shape of a large paint roller to clean walls, floors, ceilings, and hard to reach places. Getting older, it's harder for me to clean these areas. I think a mop in the shape of a large paint roller would be easier for older people, and younger people alike. It would have a long handle, a roller either filled with 409 wipes, or it could have an area to hold liquid 409 with a button to press that would put the liquid onto the roller. Clorox could also be used for this kind of product. You could also sell replacement rollers with 409, Clorox, or any other cleaning product. This would definitely be a unique product, and one that older people would love, and younger people too. These days, quick is the way to go, and this product would be a perfect fit. This product would definitely save people time, and still clean their house efficiently.

Auto quick clean for windshield, dash and upholstery

Tue, 28 Aug 2012 15:00:43 +0000

Idea by Mark

What's Your Idea?

I often find spills from my kids on the seats and floor carpets. Would love to treat them right away. Dust on the dash and film even though I don't smoke accumulates on the inside of the windshield. Keeping my car clean would keep me happier.

409 Foamy....foaming bath tub cleaner (1 Comment)

Sun, 26 Aug 2012 17:18:38 +0000

Idea by Em

What's Your Idea?

I love 409 for cleaning the fiberglass tubs and showers...however, a foaming 409 would be even better! It would allow the product to remain on the surface a bit longer to allow for easier cleaning.

I have used several of the other brands of foaming bathroom cleaner, but always go back to good old 409 because it gets the job done...every time!

Thanks,

409 Gloves

Sat, 26 Mar 2011 14:55:47 +0000

Idea by joang

What's Your Idea?

My idea is to have 409 in a glove form so that you could put on the glove and and do all the cleaning you need to do and then throw it away. This glove would protect your hand from the 409 and would last long enought to clean the whole kitchen or bathroom.
