The use of Bacterial / Enzymatic Products has produced an important development in the Janitorial Industry but today there are more efficient and economical products, such as Non-Active Biocatalysts like Eco-Clean.

The EPA is certifying “safer” products in its DfE (Design for the Environment) Program.
Why don’t they certify safe products? These products exist. Non-Active Biocatalysts such as Eco-Clean are an example.
Now the EPA is certifying “safer” fragrances, not safe ones, because the only safe fragrance is no fragrance at all. Additionally, fragrances will not clean or deodorize, they only mask the unpleasant odors.

Aside from the pets themselves, pet odor control can originate from: Carpets & Floors / Upholstered Furniture / Clothing / Bedding / Litter Boxes / Cages / Dog & Cat Houses
In the case of pets that live inside, the room (bathroom, kitchen, etc.) that they inhabit, is probably another situation that requires remediation.
Pet owners will be pleased to know that the newly developed Non-Active Biocatalysts, such as Eco-Clean, are very efficient deodorizers and cleaners and much more economical than the below-mentioned products.

After years of delays because of pressure from the chemical industry, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has added eight substances — including formaldehyde, which is common in household products — to its Report on Carcinogens, a science-based document that identifies chemicals and biological agents that may increase people’s risk for cancer. With this addition, the 12th Report on Carcinogens now includes 240 listings.
There is no reason to formulate cleaning and deodorizing products with formaldehyde. The new Non-Active Biocatalysts such as Eco-Clean, are safe, efficient and economical.
It is very challenging to maintain the requisite level of cleanliness in fast food restaurants since regular chemicals and detergents don’t do a complete job. A better solution is to use Non-Active Biocatalysts, such as Eco-Clean, for cleaning, degreasing and deodorizing the following areas:

The #1 rule is to clean the boat and rule #2 is ventilation. These are the underlying reasons of the boat smell. On the #2 rule A/C will help and a dehumidifier too. We don’t recommend an ozone generator or air purifier in the boat. They are hazardous to your health.
Boat owners would be pleased to know that the newly developed Non-Active Biocatalysts such as Eco-Clean, are very efficient deodorizers, degreasers and cleaners and much more efficient and economical that the specialized marine products.

Generally speaking, machine coolant most common problems are bad odor and poor appearance of the equipment.
These problems can be easily and economically resolved using a Non-Active Biocatalyst, such as OrTec, in the coolant mix.

There are many reasons why refrigerators have unpleasant odors. The most frequent one is that they are not clean enough, odor comes from food residues accumulating on the various interior surfaces or in the catch basin underneath the appliance.
The Best Way to Remove Odors From Your Refrigerator is to use a Non-Active Biocatalyst as Eco-Clean for cleaning (inside and outside). At the same time you will deodorize the whole unit. Alternatively, spray it on top of the source of the odor if it is very localized.

Emission of odors from ponds and lagoons occurs due to aerobic and anaerobic decomposition of organic solids to release hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and other organic by-products. Aerobic biodegradation occurs near the water-air interface, where diffusion of oxygen occurs, while anaerobic degradation prevails mainly near the bottom of the pond or lagoon, where there is low or no dissolved oxygen in the water.

Most gaseous emissions from wastewater treatment systems, which comprise several gases besides ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, including various VOC’s, are highly malodorous (although some, like methane, are odorless). Not only are these foul smelling gases offensive to workers and neighboring communities, but they are harmful to human health. This is why they are the subject of environmental regulations. This presentation will focus primarily on two of the most frequently encountered culprits, which as mentioned before are ammonia and hydrogen sulfide.
There are essentially three approaches currently being used in an attempt to curb the generation of the foul-smelling and toxic gases we have mentioned. The first is the use of non-biological solutions, such as chemical agents which attempt to provoke chemical changes in the wastewater in order to absorb or oxidize the gases being produced, or filters such as beds of activated carbon or wood chips, in some instances, with the same objective. This solution tends to be of limited usefulness and efficiency and is frequently quite expensive and complicated to maintain.
A second common approach is the application of active biocatalysts. Strains of mutant bacterial cultures are added in the expectation that the organics will be digested more efficiently and thus a reduction in gaseous emissions will be experienced. Synthetic enzymes are sometimes used with the same reasoning.
The third approach is the application of non-active biocatalysts as OrTec, which simply prevent the generation of the offending gases in the first place. For this and other reasons, as we will discuss further on, this is by far the most effective, economical and therefore preferred approach.
