Product Spotlight: InVade Hot Spot

            Let’s be honest for a minute. Some days, life just sucks. You wake up and right from the start you know the day is doomed. It might be a looming performance review you will be having with your boss that you no matter how well you may have performed, he/she will still find something to pick apart about your efforts. Or it might just be cleaning day around the house. There are only a select few who find cleaning therapeutic; most of us just find it downright miserable. Sure straightening up the living room and the bedroom are not that bad; maybe a little dusting here and there, vacuuming of some carpet sweeping a couple floors. None of that is all that bad but when it comes to the kitchen and the unspeakable (the bathroom), cleaning takes on a whole new level of misery.

Most products on our website are designed to help you get rid of bugs around your home. A company called Rockwell Labs has made a name for themselves in the pest control industry developing excellent product lines, one of which is named InVade. The InVade line of goods made by the Kansas City based company are a line of cleaning products designed for sanitation purposes in restaurant kitchens and other commercial areas, but have proven themselves as effective products for homeowners as well. Containing a combination of citrus oils and debris eating microbial, InVade products have become increasingly popular over the past few years.

If there ever was an all around tool to use in your home while cleaning, InVade Hot Spot would be that tool. If you know what “Scrubbing Bubbles” are, consider Hot Spot as Scrubbing Bubbles on steroids. Sometimes I will make a mess somewhere in my apartment just so I can use this product. InVade Hot Spot is a pressurized can of heaven, I mean foam. It works on everything from sticky floors, to grease stains on the stove to soap scum that has enveloped your bath tub. Hot Spot works great on pet stains in the carpet. Shake it up, spray the product on the stain and let it soak in for a few minutes, then just take a rag and rub the product in and let it breakdown the stain. Because it is a citrus based product, it rapidly breaks down stains and the odors that may come with it. As a preventative, I foam all of my drains before going to bed. I do this once every week or two and it helps keep all the drains clear of clogs as well as any bad odors that may exist in kitchen sinks from food. Hot Spot works wonders on garbage disposals. Since it is foam, it expands and will fill up the entire disposal, covering all the surfaces. You will go through a little more of the product that way, but if you are like me then sometimes your garbage disposal starts smelling a little ripe and you almost have to get it clean. Rockwell Labs has a ton of great products to try out, be sure to check out the InVade line while you are at it.
