Green cleaning — a safer, more effective approach
|
| |
But when it comes to drain cleaning supplies, being “green” may
actually be easier than you think, Drainbo® Natural
Drain Cleaner is a blend of safe chemicals and naturally
occurring microorganisms. Biological cleaning products
make up nearly four percent of all chemicals used by
janitorial suppliers and since such products became available
late in the last century, the market for them has developed
to over $200 million annually at the distributor level,
according to the ISSA.
While the numbers clearly demonstrate the business potential these products represent
for manufacturers and distributors, their safety and long-lasting cleaning ability
have made them equally popular among end users in the food service, hospitality
and health care industries, as well as factories, schools, universities, jails,
sporting venues and other large public facilities.
Drainbo® Natural Drain Cleaner is like
scrubbing bubbles
By combining safe chemicals for fast action with microbes for “extended
microbial cleaning capabilities,” biological cleaning
products not only clean like chemical products but also provide “after-cleaning” effects.
Once the worker has finished his job, billions of tiny microbial “workers” begin
to eliminate residual organics and continue to work as long as organic soils
and moisture remain.
From small organisms come big ideas
The use of microbial technology was pioneered in waste water treatment applications
in the 1970s. Because making use of what already exists
in nature is the safest, most efficient method of treating industrial and public
waste water problems, scientists began to examine more closely how nature
itself breaks down organic waste matter and converts it into the essential chemical
elements of carbon dioxide and water. It is through this process that the components
of our environment stay in perfect equilibrium.
With the advent of genetic fingerprinting, scientists were able to hone their
ability to accurately identify and select microbial strains for specific, desired
effects then formulate these microbes with cleaning agents to create products
that provide the fast-cleaning power of chemistry with the long-lasting effects
of enzymes.
This natural approach proved so effective in waste water applications that soon
applications were developed to treat problems upstream, such as drain lines,
grease traps and septic systems. The desirable side effect of odor control then
provided the platform for developing applications to treat some of society’s
dirtiest problems, such as home and commercial bathrooms, food processing floor
areas, loading docks and trash compactor pads.
Safer and more effective than harsh chemicals
In addition to greater effectiveness compared with chemical products, the use
of biological cleaning technologies alleviates the regulatory headaches of dealing
with hazardous substances. Although biological cleaners that use naturally occurring
microbes are not regulated in the United States, responsible developers of these
technologies submit all microbial strains to extensive safety testing before
incorporating them into full product formulations. Microbes used in Canada must
be included on the Canada Environmental Protection Agency’s domestic substances
list.
Now that you understand the benefits of
using biological cleaners, how can you find them?
It can often be difficult to be sure the cleaning products you’re using
are biologically based. To be sure that your favorite “green” household
products are indeed what the say, read the ingredients and learn about products
you use. If the products don’t already incorporate active microbial cultures,
you may want to try some that do and experience first hand the benefits of natural
biological technology to replace chemicals. You’ll find that being
"green" is easy with Drainbo products. |
