Old Kitchen Drawers

My HVAC supply company has been testing the goINOXgreen line of lubricants with impressive success so I took some INOX MX-3 home to try. We live in an older home and the wood drawers in our kitchen have been sticking and difficult to open for years. I sprayed all the slides but negelected to tell my wife. That evening when she was preparing dinner, she tugged on one of the heavy drawers. It opened so easily that if it hadn't had a stop, it would have fallen on her foot and probably broken it. So a warning to tell your family what you've inoxed . . . this stuff really works!!!

Dishwasher, Doors, Fire Place Doors, Clippers . . .DONE!!!

I went to my mothers home to diagnose the malfunctioning dishwasher. Flooded the kitchen last night. My first reaction was "gotta be the float". I opened it up, wrestled the machine screws out and removed the cover and the float. Sure enough, gunk and stuck. I had left the INOX MX-3 sample at my home. Drove home, got the sample and shot the float (let it sit), cleaned the gunk and sprayed the screws. Float works, put the screws back in with two fingers and started the cycle and mom is elated.

Now, the back sliding door wall has ticked me off for years in that it takes a middle linebacker to open and close it. Shot the tracks top and bottom. Mom went out to welcome our niece in and nearly fell out the door. It opened rather easily.

On to other areas of angst. Her fire place glass doors (which have never worked since the first night) were really bad. Quick spray and they flew open.

Medicine cabinet in my old bedroom. Done.

Bi-fold doors which divide the dining room that were a pain to open, done.

Returned home to a lovely dinner extolling the virtues of INOX and a son who needed a hair cut badly. I got my electric shears out and BZZZZZ- what a racket. These clippers are nearly a decade old and I was ready to replace them with a nifty new set from COSTCO. INOX? Quick spray, BZZZZzzzzzzz-hummmmm. Done.

Didn't Need a Locksmith

In the front of my business, there are windows and a commercial glass door. The only way I could open and close the door was from the inside since the key would no longer go into the lock. This meant that every morning and every evening I had to unlock or lock the door from the inside by entering or exiting from the back door. I was given a sample of INOX MX-3 and sprayed it into the lock. It worked! I can enter through the front door now. I thought I was going to have to call in a locksmith but MX-3 solved my problem. I've since sprayed it in all my locks and bought a can. I also plan to read up on all their other products.

Remove Stickers

In my job, I have paper work for many different clients and have plastic bins that I keep their files separated. I hate the stickers that they put on plastic and glass as it is almost impossible to get off easily. I tried spraying INOX MX-3 on the labels, let them sit a little while and they peeled right off! What a great product.

Fan is Good as New

I really like air movement when I'm sleeping so have a small oscillating fan that I have running at night. Then it started humming and stopped oscillating. I gave it a couple sprays with INOX MX-3 and now it goes back and forth with no noise. Amazing! I really thought Iwas going to have to buy a new fan. I also quilt a lot and have used the MX-3 on both my sewing machines as a lubricant with great results.

Finally the Door Works!

When we were building our new home I really wanted good quality doors and windows. We bought from a company you would recognized the name but I don't want to say who (I don’t think I’d get in trouble but I’m not saying). The sliding glass door was installed correctly but I needed two hands and all the strength I could muster to open it. The company repair people came out twice but it really didn't improve operation. I tried INOX MX-3 on it and it glides open. I love this stuff!!!

Shot 100's of Rounds

Recently I volunteered to assist the instructor at a woman's basic gun safety clinic which included classroom and firing line instruction. Prior to attending, I cleaned a couple of my pistols and lubricated them with Inox Products (INOX MX-3 and INOX MX-4) and then, thankfully took the bottles with me to the shoot as there were also five brand new pistols on loan that all required lubricating prior to shooting. The women shot hundreds of rounds and then the helpers got to shoot hundreds of rounds. The INOX lubricant performed terrifically! The most popular pistols required a reapplication midway through the day and after a quick spray to the mechanical parts were back on the firing line. These are good products and I plan on purchasing more.

Wheel Bearing Report

The photos shown below are of 2 wheel bearings out of the same wheel hub of a rental car from one of Australia's major car, bus and truck rental company.

Both bearings had been installed in the wheel hub for approximately 12 months before the hub was pulled down for inspection and this is what was found to be the problem. Both bearings are of the same quality standard. Both bearings were disassembled and washed in Perchloroethylene (an evaporating solvent) and allowed to dry and then photographed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first bearing was lubricated with a supposedly high quality imported grease from the USA.
As you can see from the photo, the bearing spindle has about 80% of the hard cased bearing surface stripped away and the bearing rollers are in not much better shape.

CAUSE: The grease used on this bearing was of such poor quality lubrication-wise that it totally failed, causing the bearing to overheat and tear away the hard cased bearing surface and in turn destroy the bearing rollers.



The second bearing was lubricated with INOX MX-8 EP Grease with PTFE.

As you can see from the photo, there is absolutely no wear with this bearing, it's as good as the day it was fitted.

i.e. Each bearing was treated equally when they were disassembled and were only washed in solvent, allowed to dry and then photographed.

Bearings Haven't Failed in 2 Years!

"I know it will happen one day, but we have not had a bearing failure since we changed to INOX MX-8 grease over 2 years ago and some of the bearings used in here were failing about every 6 weeks."

Stopped Bread Machine Vibration

My bread machine has been a workhorse for about 15 years, but the parts have become stiff and sluggish. It had gotten to the point where the machine vibrated so much in the kneading stages that it would walk across my countertop. Yesterday, as I prepared to make my favorite Pumpernickel Bread recipe, I decided to borrow the INOX MX-3 from my husband's tool cabinet, remembering it is a food-safe lubricant. I sprayed the mechanism at the bottom of the housing which rotates the mixing paddle, as well as the bottom of the bread box where the mixing paddle shaft is connected. It had a chance to work in for about 10 minutes while I measured out my ingredients. Boy did it run smoothly - and stayed put on the counter through the entire cycle. It's like having a new bread machine!
