The Future of Sustainable Cleaning & Deodorizing with Non-Active Biocatalysts

Increased environmental and health awareness has led to a greater array of supposedly “greener” and “safer” cleaners, deodorizers and degreasers in today’s marketplace.  Practically none of these products, unfortunately, offer truly safe and green alternatives, aside from their low efficacy levels and even less price competitiveness.

Enter the newly developed category of non-active biocatalyst-based products. These products don’t contain bacteria or hazardous chemicals and don’t work or behave like enzymatic products. Instead of mixing “less harmful” chemicals together, this new breed of all-purpose cleaners, deodorizers and degreasers are based on vegetable-derived non-active biocatalysts (”NABCs”) as Eco-Clean, with a proven ability to quickly promote the prompt digestion of organic matter (including fats, oils and grease—“FOG”), and completely eliminate all kinds of odors, with total safety and no harmful by-products or side effects.

Use of Non-active Biocatalysts in Trash Containers and Compactors

Containers                                Compactors

Untitled5      Untitled6

Containers or Dumpsters are bins to collect trash. They are collected by refuse companies weekly or more often if required.

If the amount of trash is important, Compactors that allow a larger load of trash are used.   Because of odor problems, especially in compactors, the refuse company collects the trash before the unit is filled to capacity.

Up to now, essential oils have been used to control solid trash odors. But since they don’t  act directly on the source of the odor, they are not efficient.

Non-active Biocatalysts, such as Eco-Clean, treat the source of the odor directly and eliminate its emission, thus allowing both containers and compactors to be utilized up to their full capacity.

Study Validates ATP Testing for Monitoring Sanitation in Hospitals

A study by Sciortino and Giles (2012) published in the American Journal of Infection Control has validated that ATP testing is an effective tool for monitoring the cleanliness of hospital surfaces. ATP (adenosine triphosphate) detection systems measure the amount of organic materials in a sample, such as blood, mucus, bacteria, and viruses. When used to verify the cleanliness of hospital surfaces, ATP testing results indicate whether a surface needs to be re-cleaned or cleaning methods need to be changed.

The study concludes that ATP testing is effective in monitoring sanitation in hospitals. ATP is stable over a ten-day period, unperturbed by sanitizer, and is removed with effective cleaning.

Non-Active Biocatalysts, such as Eco-Clean, are ideal for effective cleaning. This can be confirmed by ATP testing not only in Hospitals but also in any other situation in which cleaning is important such as Food Plants, Food Processing, Restaurants, Schools, etc.

Use Non-Active Biocatalysts instead of products containing decalcifiers and ammonia

Research suggests that exposure to cleaning products, particularly those containing decalcifiers and ammonia, may increase the risk for asthma in female hospital workers.

Use Non-Active Biocatalysts that don’t contain decalcifiers or ammonia, such as Eco-Clean, to avoid the risk of asthma.

Use Non-Active Biocatalysts in exotic and sensitive tile and stone cleaning

Exotic tile and stone are impacting cleaning, maintenance and restoration processes and products. New tile surfaces are highly textured, thinner, more colorful and often mimic other materials such as wood and natural stone.

Precious stone, crystals, metals, lighting and wood are now being combined into floors in high-end homes and commercial spaces.


Abrasive materials, moisture, heavy equipment and harsh chemicals will no longer be acceptable as part of the cleaning process on these sensitive materials.

Non-Active Biocatalysts, such as Eco-Clean, are the obvious choice for safe and efficient maintenance of these costly and delicate surfaces, resulting in non-slippery and shiny floors without the need to apply other products.

Avoid symptoms of sensitivity to chemicals in household cleaners with Non-Active Biocatalysts

A sizable percentage of low-income patients in primary care may be particularly sensitive to chemicals in household cleaners, perfumes and other everyday products, an Annals of Family Medicine, July/August 2012 study suggests.

Avoid Dermatitis risk using Non-Active Biocatalysts

A recent study has found that workers using cleaning agents were twice as likely to develop eczema as those who were not exposed to chemicals. 

Center for Public Health researchers from Massey University’s College of Health in New Zealand measured work-related skin symptoms in 425 workers involved in cleaning hospitals, tertiary institutions, schools and commercial buildings. Their results were compared with those of non-exposed workers from the retail and clerical sector, as well as bus drivers.

Using Non-Active Biocatalysts, like Eco-clean will solve this problem.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and Non-Scented Non-Active Biocatalysts

Steve Ashkin’s piece in Cleanlink News 9/12/2013 is right on point on the hazards of some fragrances. We would like to add that using Non-Active Biocatalysts like Eco-Clean for cleaning and deodorizing, none of the health hazards mentioned below will occur and the suggestions to reduce the amount of fragrances are probably not required.
