Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac, Clear, Product No. 00301

How to apply Zinsser Bulls Eye™ Finish & Sealer to your wood floors & furniture.

Bulls Eye Clear Shellac gives wood a clear, natural glow with a lustrous mid-gloss finish that will not yellow or darken with age.  You can use this product on any interior surface where you would like to have a golden-tone finish - even masonry and metal.

Remember to stir well before using.  By applying several thin coats, you will find it much easier to apply and will look better than thick heavy coats.

Below are steps to use Zinnser Bull Eye Shellac on wood floors.

Step 1:
Apply one thin and even coat using a quality brush, lint free cloth or sprayer and let dry 1 hour before sanding with 220 or finer grit sandpaper.

Step 2:
Once dried, remove all dust and apply second coat.  Allow any following coats to dry at least 1 hour before sanding lightly and recoating.

• You can also use Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac on doors, trims, paneling, cabinets and furniture:  Apply 1 or 2 coats, then let dry before sanding with 220 grit or finer sandpaper to ensure a smooth finish.

• Use Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac as a Protective Sealer for your tools, golf clubs, toys and more!  This product will even stick to glass and ceramic tile.

• Use Zinsser Bulls Eye Shellac as an Odor Sealer as well.  Two coats of the shellac will seal odors in bare (or coated) drywall, masonry, plaster, woodwork and furniture.

Each gallon of Zinsser 00301 Bulls Eye Shellac covers approximately 400-600 sq. ft. per gallon.  It may vary due to coats used and porosity of different surfaces.  It also dries to the touch in 30 minutes or less.  Wait one hour before recoating.

Miele Olympus Canister Vacuum Cleaner, S2121

What makes a Miele S2121 Olympus one of the best and most basic model of the Miele Vacuum Cleaner.

Miele vacuums come in a variety of different models, starting at $299 and up to $1499.  The higher you go in pricing, the more features you will get.  There are models that come standard with power nozzles, HEPA filters, floor brushes - the list goes on.  The Miele Olympus may be the most basic machine out there but it has the same exact motor as all the other (and pricier) vacuum models.  So whichever model you go for, you know you have a great and powerful Miele motor.

Here are some of the features with the Miele Olympus.

- Rotary suction control

This allows you to change the motor speed by turning a knob.  You can leave the machine on full power (which most people do) but if you are cleaning curtains and don't want the full power, just lower the motor speed and it won't be so powerful for your delicate items.

- Vortex Motor

Miele's vortex motor packs in 1200 watts of power and is not ear deafening.

- Air Clean Filter

Made from multi ply material, the air clean filter will trap 99.95% of dust particles.

Accessories include a Miele SBD350-3 Combination Rug & Floor Tool, as well as a metal telescopic pipe, stretch hose and a VarioClip which snaps on 3 included attachments onto the hose for easy storage.

With this model, you can purchase other floor brushes and can even add in a HEPA filter if you'd like.  You cannot add a electric power nozzle since you need an electric hose to power it.  There are other models that come standard with a power nozzle if you decide you need one.  If you have mostly floors and light rugs, the Miele Olympus is the right vacuum for you.

The vacuum itself is $329 and qualifies for free shipping on our site.

Black Jack Driveway Crack Filler

Easy to use pourable driveway crack filler.

Black Jack Driveway Crack Filler

Now as the winter and cold weather is approaching, we start to notice all the potholes forming as we drive on highways and roads.  Nothing is more annoying when it happens in your own driveway.  A crack starts in a small area and then starts to get bigger and bigger.  Before you know it, you may be forming potholes in your driveway.  If you start to notice small cracks, you can use a crack filler and stops the cracks from getting bigger.

The Black Jack Driveway Crack Filler is a product made by Gardner Gibson.  They specialize in blacktop repair and roof coatings.  It fills and seals cracks that are up to 1/2" wide.  A half inch doesn't seem that big but when its happening in blacktop, it's very wide.  After applying it you will see that it dries to a black, rubber seal, providing a crack free surface prior to adding extra sealer.

What's also great is that you can use it straight from the gallon itself.  You must shake the gallon well to mix the contents.  After that, you use the included spout (on the underside of the gallon cap) and squeeze the contents into the crack.  If you have a deep crack you can partially fill it with sand and then add the crack filler on top.

One gallon of the Black Jack Driveway Crack Filler fills 200-225 linear feat.  It also weighs just about 10 pounds.

Now is the time to start sealing your cracks, before it gets too cold out and more crack will form!

Bissell 10N2 Carpet Extractor Machine

Why to buy the Bissell 10N2 Carpet Extractor Machine.

The Bissell 10N2 is also known as the BG10 Carpet Extractor.

Why is it the best commercial deep cleaner out there?  Well for one, it has 2 rows of rotating brushes on the bottom.  That means your carpets will have 2 brushes eating away at the dirt left behind.  More brushes equals more power.  It also has flow indicators which monitors your water level as well as your carpet solution levels.  It lets you know when you're running out of carpet shampoo and water, and lets you know it's time to refill.

When the dirty water tank fills up and it's time to discard, grab the handle and lift off.  When placing back on the machine, it will click into place and you are ready to start cleaning again.

Another feature is that it has a two motor system.  One motor for the suction and another motor for the brushes.  If all you're doing is picking up the water after you scrubbed, you can turn the motor off for the brush roll and use the straight suction motor.  Just move the machine back and forth and the water will be picked up.

It also comes with a heavy duty yellow commercial cord and is about 25 feet in length.  The cleaning path is 10.5 inches and the tank capacity is 1.75 gallons.

There is also an upholstery tool that you can purchase.  The tool is great for upholstery, stairs and even your car!

Check it out on our site and take advantage of our current sale going on.
