Safe Commercial & Consumer Cleaning Products vs EPA’s “Safer” Products

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.

Pet Odor Control with Non-Active Biocatalysts

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.

Use of Non-Active Biocatalysts instead of Formaldehyde in Cleaning and Deodorizing 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.

Use of Non-Active Biocatalysts as Anti-Clogging Agents in Drip Irrigation

In drip irrigation systems the more important scaling agents are organic compounds, organo-minerals from eutrophicated water bodies and iron from groundwater. To mitigate the clogging there are maintenance programs for irrigation systems, consisting of regular washings in the field with acid and hypochlorite, bench or test line’s dosing of acids or detergents. In addition there are other treatments such as oxygenation of the water and precipitation of iron, acidification of nutrient solutions, and for the specific case of organo-mineral compounds, sodium hypochlorite or calcium at a maximum concentration of 1 ppm in all the emitters controlled daily.

The use of chlorine generates compounds such as chloramines and trihalomethanes that may affect beneficial populations of microorganisms for the soil and contaminate surface waters. They are strong oxidizing agents that should be treated with protection systems for the staff to avoid accidents during the process. There are other products that may be an alternative to hypochlorite and have advantages because they are organic and biodegradable with lower handling risks. . Non-active biocatalysts, such as OrTec, can be an alternative to using hypochlorite.

Application of Non-Active Biocatalysts in the Fast Food Industry

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:

Boat Odor Elimination with Non-Active Biocatalysts

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.
