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™ Super Carpet Fresh™ Cleans Up Old Chocolate Milk Stain

Two weeks ago I received a phone call from a very good friend and client of Clean and Green Solutions, Julia Beckman. Julia had just lifted up her son’s (EJ) booster chair in the back seat of her mini van and discovered a month old chocolate milk stain. She called me and wanted to know if the Super Carpet Fresh™ would remove the stain. Julia has been buying the Super Carpet Fresh for quite some time now to use in her home for carpeting and tile and grout stains, and also to clean up after those unfortunate and untimely pet accidents.


I assured Julia that the EATOILS™ Super Carpet Fresh™ would remove the stain and odor, even to the point that she would never know that it was there.

I saw Julia at church about a week later and asked her how the Super Carpet Fresh did on the stain in her van and she replied, “Yes, it took it right out, you can’t even tell it was there.” This past weekend I sent her a message on Facebook asking her if I could use her name and write a little note about it. Here is her answer, copied and pasted directly from her reply: you may use my name!!! It was at least a month old chocolate milk underneath a car seat. Wiped up the crunchy stuff with a damp towel and then super carpet fresh the stain....it came right up! Sprayed a little while longer (to make sure it saturated underneath the fabric) and by the next day not one trace of the stain and no smell! Take an elaborate what you want!

As you can see she was quite happy with the results. EATOILS™ Super Carpet Fresh™ is absolutely the best carpet, tile and grout, fabric, and upholstery cleaner and deodorizer on the market today. Plus it is ELCOGO™ Certified GREEN, which means it contains ZERO harmful chemicals or ingredients.

Cleaning Grout Lines with EATOILS GREEN Cleaning Products



Cleaning grout lines can be a very difficult task, particularly when you consider all the material that is usually collected in grout 'valleys'. As Grout is typically a porous material like cement all sorts of oils, greases, and particles can get trapped in the grout and discolor it easily. Traditional floor & tile cleaners do a pretty good job on the floor surfaces but they have virtually no effect on the discolored grout and over time the grout lines fill with these materials and can become unsightly. Harsh chemicals and a lot of elbow grease have been the only answer for cleaning grout and the results have been inconsistent. Short of getting down on your knees and manually scrubbing the grout, usually with nasty chemicals, there has not been a real alternative for cleaning grout until now.

- note the original 'Champagne' grout

WorldWare Enterprises Ltd., manufacturer of EATOILS™ ECOLOGO™ Green Cleaning Products, has discovered that the deep cleaning characteristics that you are looking for in a grout cleaning product are already available for you to use in our SUPER CONCENTRATED GREEN CLEANING PRODUCTS - and it only takes a few minutes! These products include: BIOBLAST™, SUPERFRESH™, and SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™. For best results on a small area: 1) spray the concentrated formula onto the groutlines to wet, 2) add approximately double the amount of water, 3) agitate with a soft bristle brush, and 4) watch months of buildup disappear in a few minutes. For larger areas: 1) mix the cleaning solution at 4 oz./ gallon of warm water and soak the floor with 1/2" of cleaning solution, 2) leave it in place for 20 minutes or so, then 3) brush with a straight broom, and 4) squeegee the entire floor - you'll see all kinds of contaminants removed with this method. For 'restaurant makeover' type clean-ups: you can use this method with a steam cleaner to bring back the original 'sparkling clean' grout - just like new! Naturally, if the quality of the grout has deteriorated and broken down over time, you should use these cleaning methods then follow up with grout repair (if you don't clean it first you will seal in the dirt and it will be impossible to bring back the original clean grout lines). Also, be aware of floor sealers as they typically seal in the dirt - strip the sealer before attempting to clean the grout and only seal the floor after all contaminants have been removed from the grout lines.

Grout cleaning can be a pain - but if you can use the methods and products offered by EATOILS™ you will find the process can be painless for you and the results will dramatically improve the look of your tiled areas.

Clean and Green Solutions is a proud distributor of EATOILS™ ECOLOGO™ Certified Green Cleaning products.  For more information on these products, please visit us at http://www.cleanandgreensolutions.com/ or give us call at 281.883.8470

EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ Removes Even The Worst Black Mold Found In Florida

BEFORE Brown Mold On Awning - Mobile, AL AFTER
Enclosed areas where moisture can build up can be a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Particularly in locations where wood and wallboard are exposed, like: 1) under rafters, 2) in damp basement areas, 3) in bathrooms, 4) below open buildings and 5) in attics.

Mold & Mildew can be harmful to you and your family as the spores can cause allergic reactions and illness. There are two problems that you need to deal with when you are trying to address mold and mildew: 1) removing the infestation effectively (mold and spores), and 2) preventing it from recurring.

REMOVAL: - In the past, most mold removal companies literally had to remove the offensive building materials, address the source of the moisture and rebuild the structure - a very expensive proposition. If the infestation was small it could be treated with bleach or disinfectant products, however, the problems with bleach & disinfectants can be just as dangerous as the infestation - affecting breathing and damaging the building materials - plus the effects of these products are only momentary and there is no lasting effect. Recent developments in microbial cleaning products have yielded effective long term results with the added bonus of prevention of recurrence (when the source of the moisture is repaired). These products remove the infestation and, virtually stand guard, defending the area from re infestation from the spores.

PREVENTION: - Once you remove the source of the moisture you have effectively prevented the mold from recurring however, particularly in areas where there is no resolution to the moisture issue (enclosed bathrooms) the mold will return the next time it is moist. Microbial cleaning products are particularly effective in these instances as they can protect the area from some of the recurrence and regular, weekly cleaning with the product can actually prevent it completely.

Many mold abatement contractors have discovered the advantages of using microbial cleaning products to treat these mold problems effectively. Over the past few years WorldWare Enterprises Ltd. of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada has developed a number of green microbial products that work well on mold and mildew. Depending on the actual mold encountered, we have products that will effectively remove and prevent the recurrence of these infestations for years to come.

The success stories for treating northern grey/black mold and southern brown mold have been impressive as infestations have been stopped and reversed with as little as one application. We have written here before about the results for removing brown mold from awnings in Mobile, AL (see picture above, showing before and after) - update: it was over 1-1/2 years ago that the vinyl awning was treated and, as of last week, there is still no recurrence on the awnings (in the same time period neighbors with the same type of awnings have had their awnings treated with harsh chemicals at least 5 times and the mold keeps coming back!).

For some time now the most difficult mold type to resolve has been the black mold that is common in many parts of Florida. It is a very resistant mold that is very hard to remove with any success. Recent trials and actual case studies have proven that EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ is very effective at removing and preventing the recurrence of this black mold in Florida. For example, our client, William Booth of Tallahassee, FL was having a problem with mold on his exposed wood on the underside of his home. The smell and spores were affecting his family and he had to do something fast! He called our technical service personnel and was advised that we had experienced some success with our EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ for this type of application (this product is very good at treating the mold and mildew typically found in damp bathrooms). He purchased a pail of our EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ and he set to work on his home - he mixed it as described in the instructions and then he applied it to the exposed wood - and within minutes he noticed a big reduction in the mold. After a second application it was all gone and there has been no recurrence since he treated the wood in April. We spoke last week and he confirmed that he is very happy with the results - another fine job by EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™.

EATOILS Bio-Blast loosens cob webs for easy removal

EATOILS BIO BLAST makes for

easy work when removing Cob Web
infestations.

Clean and Green Solutions, the Houston,TX distributor for EATOILS Certified GREEN Cleaning products was recent called out to this home in Kingwood, TX. The owner of the property had just listed the home for sale and needed an environmentally safe way to remove the cob web infestation as you see in the pictures. Most exterior cleaning service companies will use bleach diluted with water to remove cob webs. The problem with using bleach to remove cob webs is that you have to use way more bleach than water. Usually about 75% bleach to water. Then, when you apply the bleach and water mixture to the exterior of the home the mixture will fall onto all the vegetation below the house. Even if you were to cover the landscape, you will still get bleach in the vegetation as it runs off the tarps or covering as well as when you remove the covering. This is a very unsafe way to remove cob webs, not only for the user but for the environment as well.

Here is how Clean and Green Solutions removed the cob webs in an environmentally safe way: We filled a five gallon bucket with water till it was 75% full, and then added 1/2 gallon of EATOILS BIO-BLAST. Using a power washer, (3500 psi, 6gpm) equipped with a DOWNSTREAM chemical injector placed at the first 50 feet of hose, we thoroughly applied the BIO-BLAST to the exterior of the home. Then using a zero degree tip and keeping the wand approximately 10 feet from the house, working top to bottom, the cob webs easily fell off the house. We have used EATOILS BIO-BLAST many times for cob web removal and have always found it to be the most economical and safest way to remove cob webs whether the infestation is heavy or light.

On one story homes the use of a pressure washer is not required. Simply mix the EATOILS BIO-BLAST in a garden type pump up sprayer at 6 ounces to a gallon of water. Spray on the cob webs, then remove with a garden hose or broom.

You will find many more uses for EATOILS BIO-BLAST around your home than just for cob web removal. BIO-BLAST will remove the strongest of odors, returns tile and grout to it's original color and beauty, and is an excellent environmentally safe drain and septic maintenance treatment.
