What sort of ratio do you use on the Simple Green-alcohol mixture?

Here is a explanation on That Purple Stuff.

Ron,

Can you explain if TPS is perfectly OK to use long term without health hazard?  Is there an MSDS sheet for TPS?  There has been some discussion about this and as bowlers and end users we'd like to know straight from the manufacturer.

What scientific facts can you point to that support your statement?

The chemicals used in our products you have likely been exposed to most of your life.  We have a Chemist on staff that helped develop the formula to make it safe for long term use when used as directed.   If you are interested in trying the product check us out at ctdbowling.com. If not, then please use an approved cleaner by USBC and keep your bowling ball clean. Speaking of health hazzards check out the non approved cleaner list and then do a google search.
Thanks for the question

I don't understand. There are so many bowling ball cleaners out there and this is the first one with so much scrutiny. Why is that?

The bar was set incredibly high. Scrutiny invited.

I'm not sure which came first....but it prolly started with either

The price or the chemical make up. Or it's the other way around??

For me personally, I'm all for these types of things that surrounds bowling, but at the current price range, TPS is pretty steep.

If That Purple Stuff is more expensive then other cleaners, BUT your ball lasts longer because you use it.....Doesnt that make it cheaper then the other products? The way I see it, I dont have to buy a $160.00 ball as often because they're losing reaction.
I can stay with a ball a lot longer and that saves me money!

At this point, nobody knows if TPS is really superior to competing aggressive cleaners. Frankly, the video tests that have published are weak. Charlest did his own comparison in one of these threads, and TPS didn't come out on top in his test. 
 
Given what we know now, You really can't conclude that your ball lasts longer using TPS than it would using other alternatives.

As far as I can tell, you can use Remedy, Vise cleaner, Knock-out, and Zapp-it and get the same or better results for cheaper. Or you can use LMB cleaner, Hook-It or Clean n Dull and get better results cheaper.

All I can say is that I maintain all of my stuff and I had loss of reaction on high end balls after 50 games. I been using TPS and have over 80 games and have zero loss of reaction on any balls since using it.
