With all of the hustle and bustle of the current BP Oil/Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico this month we have been actively working with our agents and distributors in the region to address the burgeoning disaster. As days go by, the extent of the damage caused by this disaster is growing to become the biggest commercial spill in history. Due to the size of the problem, virtually all technologies are being tested so that every opportunity to address the clean-up can be put to use.
Among the many products we are discussing with BP, the responders and regulatory authorities is the amazing absorbent - MULTIZORB SELECT - OIL ONLY ABSORBENT. This product floats on water and will absorb the oil right off the surface of the water - just spread it on the water and the oil will absorb into the product and you can scoop or vacuum the product off the water and dispose of it in a landfill or incinerate it. This product was used successfully in the Exxon Valdez spill and in every major spill since that time. Most recently, last month it was successfully used to capture floating oils in a major spill in Australia.
MULTIZORB is a byproduct of volcanic eruption so it is based on a renewable resource and its impact on the environment is minimal. It is a cost effective alternative solution to other popular spill response absorbent products.

Cleaning a Trex Deck with BT200
Trex is the leading brand of alternative decking, railing, fencing, and trim products designed to maximize your outdoor living experience.
Trex composite products are made of a unique combination of wood and plastic fibers. Trex gets its plastic and wood fibers from reclaimed or recycled resources. Including sawdust and used pallets from woodworking operations, and recycled plastic grocery bags from all over the country.
According to the Trex Website, the are a variety of ways and harmful chemicals that are to be used when cleaning a Trex Deck. Deck Brightners, Bleach, and even cleaners containing dangerous acids are recommended by Trex to clean mold and mildew, grease, oil, food stains, and many others.
Well, we have great news for you. The EATOILS BT200 Certified GREEN degreaser is the ONLY product that you need.
Recently Pro Power Wash, a sister company of Clean and Green Solutions, of Porter, TX was called to the home of Mrs. Kathy Sexton, of Kingwood, TX. Mrs. Sexton had tried 4 other cleaning companies try to clean her TREX Deck and all produced unsatisfactory results. Basically, they could not get it clean, even using bleach.
Pro Power Wash used the EATOILS BT200 Green Degreaser at a rate of 6 ounces of BT200 to 1 gallon of water. (Total Used was 12 ounces and 2 gallons of water). Using a garden type pump up sprayer, the BT200 solution was sprayed on the deck in small areas at a time. The solution was then agitated into the deck lightly with the use of a street broom, just until a white lather formed. The BT200 was allowed to sit for approximately 15-20 minutes and then rinsed with a power washer lightly using no more than 1000 PSI at about 1-2 feet from the surface.
Mrs. Sexton was extremely satisfied and could not believe the results. She has also purchased a quart of the BT200. Because of how easy the BT200 is to use, not to mention that is totally safe, she will now be able to keep her TREX Deck clean herself year round.
(The dark spot in the after picutre is water that leaked form a garden hose as the workers put it away)

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.

Clean and Green Solutions and EATOILS BT200 cleans up hydraulic fluid mess
Clean and Green Solutions was recently called to the Chick-Fil-A restaurant located at West Lake Houston Parkway and FM1960 in Humble, TX to clean up this hydraulic fluid that had leaked from the waste collection truck that services the restaurant. Cleaning up this mess only took 20 minutes and less than 1/2 gallon of EATOILS BT200 Certified Green Degreaser. How?
First we sprayed the stained area with a light mist of water, we then poured EATOILS BT200 full strength on different areas of the stain and scrubbed it in using a street broom just until the solution reached a white lather. That took us only 20 minutes and one man to do. We then walked away and let the BT200 eat the oil and fluid away. Within 48 hours we experienced a rainstorm and the stained area was completely free of all hydraulic and oil stains.
Materials used: A little water, less than 1/2 gallon of BT200, about $22.00 worth. Man Hours used, 20 minutes. Results, total and environmentally safe removal of all oil and fluid stains and NO DISPOSAL COSTS.
If you are interested in a low cost, user friendly, and safe for the environement way to clean up oil and gasoline spills like this, please contact us at Clean and Green Solutions, 281.883.8470 or visit us at www.cleanandgreensolutions.com.

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.
