can such a small amount of BIO-CLEAN be effective in plumbing?
There are millions and millions of bacteria
in each spoonful. Each one will eat its weight of waste every
60 seconds. They double in number every 30 minutes, and as they
multiply they will spread throughout the entire drain system.
it work on a clog?
If the material is biodegradable, yes. However, in most cases,
the stoppage is not caused by a blob of something in the trap.
Most likely, it is several feet of pipe that is filled with "gunk",
and it may take several days for the bacteria to eat through this
long blockage. Therefore, it is suggested that a mechanical cable
be used to restore the flow. Then begin BIO-CLEAN treatments
to remove any remaining waste build-up. Regular maintenance treatments
will prevent new build-up.
long will it take to see the results?
Some people notice improvement in a day or two. Almost everyone
will see results in one to three weeks. Note: The cleaning process
is not completed with the initial five day treatment. The time
is determined by the type of material the buildup is comprised
of (grease, soap, hair) and the length of the lines. Hair takes
the longest to digest.
the toilet be flushed after pouring BIO-CLEAN into the bowl?
Do not flush for 6-8 hours. The quart of mixture poured into the
bowl pushes one quart of water and mixture out of the bowl into
the stack. The enzymes and bacteria carried out in the quart leaving
the bowl are deposited on the gook coating the pipe. In the following
6-8 hours they embed themselves in the gunk so that when the toilet
is next flushed they will not be flushed out.
chemical drain openers much stronger than BIO-CLEAN ?
The strongest chemical in the world can't climb the side walls
of horizontal pipes. Gravity makes all chemicals run along the
bottom. Nor can chemicals remove much waste in vertical pipes
because they flow through so quickly. The bacteria in BIO-CLEAN
are live and will go anywhere there is food. They will remove
the gunk chemicals leave behind.
BIO-CLEAN contain any acid, lye, solvents, perfume or poisonous
BIO-CLEAN attack tree roots?
Only roots that are completely dead. Roots enter sewer pipes seeking
the rich organic food supplied by the buildup As roots feed on
the waste they grow, branch out and eventually restrict flow.
Periodic use of enough BIO-CLEAN and water to reach the
root area will eliminate the waste they seek. In this manner,
the use of BIO-CLEAN discourages root growth in sewers.
BIO-CLEAN really help a septic system?
Absolutely- in several ways. The bacteria in BIO-CLEAN
are specially selected to digest a larger variety of waste, and
metabolize it faster than naturally occurring bacteria or yeast
additives. Oils, fats, grease and paper are very difficult for
intestinal bacteria to handle. BIO-CLEAN is very effective
on these materials. It increases solids destruction, so fewer
pumpings are needed and that means money saved.
More complete digestion also means fewer undigested solids leaving
the tank. These solids would otherwise form a black gooey accumulation
in the leach field and prevent water absorption by the soil. Therefore,
BIO-CLEAN extends the life of a leach field.
any chemicals incompatible with septic systems?
Yes. Chlorine, germicidal products, anti-septics, sanitizers,
chemical drain openers, paint, lye, acids, cationic surfactants
and food preservatives. And in general, anything that is inorganic
a garbage disposal and/or automatic dishwasher affect a septic
Yes-in two ways. Disposals add greater loads. Without frequent
BIO-CLEAN treatments, faster accumulation of solids in
the tank occurs. Most automatic dishwashing compounds, either
powder or gel, contain chlorine, which is damaging to all biological
activity. For the least overall problems, don't use the disposal
for material that could go into solid waste or be composted. Use
non-chlorinated, biodegradable dishwashing compound and treat
regularly with BIO-CLEAN. A complete list of recommended
products is available from your authorized BIO-CLEAN dealer.
BIO-CLEAN stop odors?
Yes, by digesting the waste which is the source of odor.
BIO-CLEAN digest hair?
Yes. However, it does take much longer than most any other organic
material. In drains, soap scum, skin oils, etc. bond hair to pipe
surfaces. BIO-CLEAN digests these other materials more
quickly, which releases the hair to wash downstream.
are very interested in your satisfaction and we will be happy to help.
does BIO-CLEAN compare with liquid biological products?
BIO-CLEAN is more concentrated, more uniform, more stable
(longer shelf life) and more economical. Liquids depend upon preservatives
to keep the bacteria dormant while in the bottle. Most have a
high percent of surfactant to emulsify oils and fats, not digest
them. Enzymes in solution interact with each other, which results
in shorter shelf life and/or a single enzyme product.
BIO-CLEAN stop odors coming from a cat litter pan?
Definitely. Best results can be obtained by washing and drying
pan and then sprinkling the bottom with BIO-CLEAN before
adding new litter and coating the top with BIO-CLEAN.
is the shelf life of BIO-CLEAN ?
Several years if kept dry at normal temperature.
does BIO-CLEAN help or hurt?
BIO-CLEAN is a great help and in no way hurts the ecology.
The active ingredients in BIO-CLEAN are enzymes and bacteria
which speed up the natural digestion of organic material. This
is the only process that recycles organic waste back to plant
food. BIO-CLEAN is not harmful to pets or marine life.
It is so safe a child can apply it. Because its action is natural,
it enhances nature's ability to cope with man's pollution.
if I am not satisfied with the results?
BIO-CLEAN comes with 100% money back guarantee. First,
make sure all instructions were followed. Second, allow enough
time for the conditions involved. If still no favorable results,
