Understanding Bio-enzymatic Cleaners

There is a new "kid in town" and he's claiming to be the best solution for all your cleaning needs. He claims that he is a Bio-enzymatic cleaner. First thing you need to know is that no one product can do all of your cleaning jobs.

There are three major jobs - sanitizing, de-scaling, and cleaning. Sanitizing is used to kill germs - products are usually high acid or caustic products like bleach, quaternary ammonia, or other chemically based killing products. De-scaling products typically remove salts like rust, calcium & lime deposits that can build up from hard water in sinks, bowls, and on tile surfaces in showers - these products are usually high acid based fluids which chemically 'etch' the salts away. Both of these types of products are typically harmful to the user and carry 'skeleton hand' and other warnings on the labels. Cleaning is the removal of all other contaminants from the surface. One of the best ways to remove contaminants from all surfaces is with microbial action. Bio-enzymatic cleaners use microbial action to continuously clean the surface and remove both organic and inorganic compounds. By using bacteria and enzymes organic materials can be broken down and digested, thus eliminating the 'food' from the surface.

In order to be a bio-enzymatic cleaner the product must incorporate bacteria and enzymes in its formula in some way. The concentrations of components can vary as can the jobs that the products are designed to do. Each different type of bacteria and every enzyme does different things. The actual blending of different microbes with different enzymes and surfactant packages yield very different cleaning products of different strengths.

As with most things in life, not all Bio-enzymatic cleaners are created equal - you must see the results before you make your decision about which product best suits your needs. For example, you should first determine what job you are looking to address. In general, there are several jobs that Bio-enzymatic cleaners are ideally suited to do: 1) automotive oil and grease removal, 2) deep cleaning and odor control, 3) food grease removal, 4) grease trap treatment, 5) drain opening & maintenance, 6) septic treatment, 7) waste water treatment, 8) laundry & stain removal, 9) carpet cleaning, 10) parts washing, 11) bioremediation, etc. Different formulas excel at different jobs.

At Clean and Green Solutions we are distributors for a line of very exceptional bio-enzymatic cleaners - the EATOILS™ brand of products, with specific products formulated to excel at each of the cleaning jobs outlined above. These products have proven to outperform other bio-enzymatic cleaning products when compared on actual job sites.

EATOILS BT200 Cleans up Austin Stone Siding Home

Eatoils BT200 cleans this Austin Stone side house located in Houston, TX.

Clean and Green Solutions, the Houston, TX based distributor for EATOILS cleaning products was called to this home to provide an estimate to clean the Austin Stone siding on the exterior of the house. Betsie Weathorford called Clean and Green Solutions after seeing our website at www.cleanandgreensolutions.com. Ms. Weatherford was impressed with the web site and the fact that we only use the EATOILS brand of CERTIFIED GREEN Cleaning Products. Several areas of the home were badly stained with Mold and Mildew as you see in the picture above. Ms. Weatherford did NOT want a company using dangerous, toxic chemicals or bleach to remove the stains. Here is how we did it: We mixed the EATOILS BT200 at 4 ounces to a gallon of water. Using a pump up garden type sprayer we applied the BT200 solution to the stains and brushed in using a street broom. We then waited approximatley 20-30 minutes and rinsed the stains off using a power washer at very lower pressure.

Ms. Weatherford was extremely happy with the outcome and the peace of mind that her home was not cleaned with the use of dangerous chemicals.

Cleaning Ovens is Easier and Safer with BT200

This oven was cleaned for a customer using EATOILS BT200 Certified Green Degreaser. After many attempts to clean this oven using store bought products like "Easy Off" and others that contain dangerous toxins and chemicals, take a long time to clean as the product has to dwell, and then leave that terrible residual smell when you use the oven again, the EATOILS BT200 cleaned this oven in 15 minutes. It even performed better than using the self cleaning option as the oven did not have to heat up to almost 700 degrees to bake the caked on burnt food, wasting valuable electricity, not to mention the 6-8 hours it takes to perform the self cleaning cycle and the heat it generates in the house.

Here is how we did it. We mixed the EATOILS BT200 at 6 ounces to a gallon of water and then thoroughly sprayed the inside of the oven and the oven racks. We then let it sit for 15 minutes and wiped the inside of the oven with PAPER TOWELS. There were two spots that the oven had some really baked on grease, to the point that it was crusty, and we simply sprayed a soft scour pad sponge with the BT200, lightly scrubbed the spots, and the stains came up easily.

The BT200 also cleaned all the splatters off the oven window and door. The oven looked brand new when we were done.

The EATOILS BT200 is the only cleaner you need for tough cleaning jobs like ovens, barb-b-cue pits and grills, pot's and pans, and other items that can get baked on grease and grime on them.

The best part is the price. A quart of BT200 diluted at 6 ounces to a gallon of water cost's the consumer less than .80 cents. Compare that to store bought cleaners that run $3.00-$4.00. Plus the BT200 is totally safe to use, contains zero harmful ingredients, and takes a lot less time.

CLEANING UP MOLD AND MILDEW ON OUTDOOR SURFACES-SAFELY

How can you get rid of mold and mildew on fences, decks, concrete and stone work, patio furniture, vinyl awnings & gazebos, shelters, etc without using harsh chemicals?

Over the years we have encountered a number of situations where mold & mildew have attacked surfaces and left a serious discoloration. As we do not like to use bleaches or other harsh chemicals in anything that we do we have found that EATOILS™ BT200™ is an ideal mold & mildew cleaner and preventer.

Just mix at approx. 4 oz per gallon of water and spray it on the surface to wet it down. Wait for about 30 minutes and agitate with a stiff brush (for softer materials use a softer brush) - you'll see the mold and mildew break down and release from the surface. Rinse and repeat. Older problems will take multiple applications. The mold & mildew will disappear and the residual product will help to prevent re-infestation.

We have tried this approach on all kinds of surfaces and the product will not harm the surface in any way as there are no harmful chemicals, solvents, or damaging materials whatsoever in the product. In fact, the product is ECOLOGO™ certified GREEN and safe for the environment.

If you can't get it clean with traditional cleaning products, give us a call - we may have the answer for you. Call us at 281.883.8470 or visit our website at http://www.cleanandgreensolutions.com/

Cleaning Up Auto Rustproofing Residue From Asphalt

Cleaning Up Auto Rustproofing Residue From Asphalt - The EATOILS Way!

This is what can happen when someone gets their car undercoated or rustproofed and the car sits for awhile in front of your home. This happened to me a short while ago and it certainly didn't look too appealing to walk down the street and see this mess at my front door - I'm certainly glad that my 'friend' didn't park in my driveway and do this to me on my property! I knew that EATOILS™ BT200™ would clean up the oily mess if it was on concrete, but I wasn't sure that it would work as well on asphalt. I knew that it would degrade hydrocarbon oils with its 'non-stop cleaning action' - a natural microbial action that deep cleans the worst stains on concrete, asphalt, and even soil - but I wasn't sure how well it would do on rustproofing fluid. I also knew that if I left it untreated the marks would be there as an embarassment for me for years to come. I was very concerned about the look of the area, so I took some of our EATOILS™ BT200™ and sprayed it (in a 5:1 mixture) on the asphalt to see if it would clean up for me. Once the area was wet with water and the product, I brushed it in with a street broom and let it dry. After the first application the stain was lighter, but the marks were all still there. Over the next few days I monitored the product's progress and I watched how the marks continued to fade. After about 10 days, I noticed that the stains had faded about 30% so I re-applied the product at 5:1 and brushed it in again. After another week it had faded approximately 70% so I re-applied it on day 20, brushed it in and waited for it to fade the rest of the way. By the end of the month it was virtually completely gone (see the second picture for the way it looked).

After seeing this work on rustproofing fluid we have introduced the product to professional rustproofing clients and they are now using the product in their operations for spill control and clean-up. If you know of anyone who is working with oil products who is dealing with spills this is the one product that they should be using for spill response and clean-up. EATOILS™ BT200™ is a certified green cleaning and bioremediating product that safely and effectively addresses the problems caused by hydrocarbon spills.

MultiZorb Picks Up The Spill & Safely Absorbs The Contaminants

Multizorb™ is used for emergency response and spill response in all types of applications. Multizorb™ absorbs up to 8 times more fluid than competitive products and it contains no silica, making it safe for landfill disposal.

Due to the 'quick absorbing' nature of the product it is considered an instant absorbent, making it ideal for quick response in industrial and other accidental spills. "Usually, by the time you turn around to sweep it up it is fully absorbed", says Ron Porter, an emergency response & HAZMAT trainer who works with the product on a daily basis.

Multizorb™ is used whenever accidents occur. The product contains a special fire retardant material that prevents the fumes from flammable materials from igniting and causing additional problems for emergency response workers. Multizorb™ is used by emergency response personnel around the country as a safe and effective spill resonse absorbent.

Multizorb™ is a cost effective alternative to other absorbent products - 6 bags (120 lbs.) will quickly pick up the contents of a 45 imperial gallon (55 US gallon) drum compared to 30 - 40 bags of clay or 'kitty litter' type products (1500 lbs.). It passes the environmental TCLP test proving that once the fluid is absorbed into the Multizorb™ it won't leach out!

Once the liquid is picked up with Multizorb™, our EATOILS™ BT200™ can be used to clean up the residual stain on the surface (works well on concrete, asphalt and soil) to bring the site back to its original state. Both of these products provide cost effective yet environmentally friendly alternatives for clients who wish to be sensitive to environmental concerns while keeping an eye on the bottom line.
