Stain+Odour Eliminator (2pcs)

Stain+Odour Eliminator is a bio-enzymatic cleaning product to remove odour and stain on carpets, upholstered furniture,  textiles, curtains, shoes, pet beddings, ...
Stain+Odour Eliminator belongs to our range of truly natural products that use the cleaning process of our planet i.e., strength and ability of natural microorganisms. These eliminate dirt/waste/odour directly at the place of origin - decompose dirt and consume it as their food even in hard to reach places. Our beneficial  microorganisms remove not only dirt but also odour by degrading  odour-causing molecules and organics. Stain+Odour Eliminator  provides a long-lasting cleaning and odour control. Moreover our microorganisms are much more powerful than harmful bacteria take all the nutrients and dangerous bacteria die. This process of "Competitive exclusion" reduces substantially the harmful dangerous bacteria everywhere Stain+Odour Eliminator is applied.

Responsibility towards your own health:
The use of disinfectants and chemical cleaning products in households is becoming a problem not only for the environment but even more for the health of humans. Our children loose the natural resistance against illness and on the other hand bad bacteria are becoming resistant to disinfectants and more dangerous to humans. Chemical cleaning products leave irritant unhealthy volatile residues in your living space and the cleaned surface might be irritant long after the cleaning. Such a flat is the cause of health problems.
The way to change this unhealthy trend is to relay on the time-proven Bio-enzymatic processes our Nature is using (cleaning waste water, ground, air, …) for millions of years.
Stain+Odour Eliminator cleans naturally and will create a healthy living space in household / office  free of chemical residues and bad bacteria.

Benefits:

• Deep cleaning: The microorganisms penetrate deep into the soiled material where they consume all dirt (forming the stain and odour) – subsequently the stain and odour disappears. The product eliminates odours directly at the source (chemical products often only cover odour up with a perfume).
• Residual cleaning: The product works even long after application - after removing the dirt our useful microorganisms are transferred into "sleeping mode" and are reactivated by new resoiling.  In addition the amount of pathogenic dangerous bacteria is reduced on the treated material through the process of Competitive Exclusion (without the use of chemistry!).
• Reduction of harmful bacteria: Our friendly microorganisms are much more powerful than harmful bacteria take all the nutrients and dangerous bacteria die. This process reduces substantially the harmful dangerous bacteria everywhere Stain+Odour Eliminator is applied.
• Healthy living / working space: No chemical residues in your household/office. (Chemical cleaning products leave irritant unhealthy volatile residues in your living space and the cleaned surface might be irritant long after the cleaning. Such an environment  is the cause of health problems.
• Natural cleaning: Bio-enzymatic (without alkalis, acids, ...) - safe for people, equipment and nature.

We invite you to review your thinking:

• Use the power of nature instead of chemicals.
• Use Bio-enzymatic products to remove stain and odour on carpets, upholstered furniture,  textiles and other surfaces.

Wherever people or pets live “accidents” happen.  Results of such “accidents” are spots of organic matter (urine, vomit, excrements, sweat, spilled food and drinks, smoke ...) and malodours caused by these organic matters.
To remove stains one can use chemical products (trying to liquefy stain by aggressive chemicals) or biological process (using natural microorganisms).

• Chemical method - often using harsh chemicals - is usually based on liquefying the organic soil in a chemical solution and thereafter displacing the solution into your drain line.
  Several drawbacks are linked with this method:
  • There is always residual chemical solution remaining in the cleaned material which will release unhealthy chemical vapours into your living space and the spot might be irritant long after the cleaning.
  • The environment is polluted not only by the stain matter, but often much more by the chemical solution you move down the drain line.
  • It is almost impossible to displace the soil with the chemical solution completely out of the cleaned material - the remaining soil will continue to emit bad odours, especially if the dirt was soaked deep into the fabric
  • You have to work with chemicals which have negative impact on your health.
• Biological process - bio enzymatic process where special natural microorganisms remove the organic stain by digestion of the stain matter. Stain+Odour Eliminator contains concentrated powerful beneficial microorganisms that eliminate dirt/waste/odour directly at the place of origin - decompose dirt and consume it as their food even in hard to reach places.

At the same time our microorganisms eliminate odour, transforming and digesting odour-causing organic matter. The product provides a long-lasting cleaning and odour control.
Each one of our beneficial natural microorganisms eats its weight in waste every minute and transforms it into harmless water and carbon dioxide. The process is safe for humans, material and environment. The same Bio-enzymatic process uses nature to clean water, ground and air on the planet Earth for millions of years.

Microorganisms are entirely Natural:
There are lots of bacteria species that are very important for all living things on Earth. Your body is full of helpful bacteria – we could not survive without them. They grow and reproduce forming an equilibrium with you and preventing the bad bacteria from growth (restricting their resources!).
Bacteria have learnt to live anywhere and so they have learnt to eat whatever to survive. Some bacteria eat the food we eat, because they live in our mouth or digestive system. Other bacteria can eat dangerous or harmful substances (like oil) or eat anything that is decaying – decomposing dead plants and animals.
Our job was to enhance these excellent properties and through natural selection  develop bacterial strains capable to digest soil and eliminate odours much more efficient. The result is the product Stain+Odour Eliminator our clean-up army.

We use the power of Nature "Bio-enzymatic" to remove stains and eliminate odours.

New behavior for the health of your family:
The use of disinfectants and chemical cleaning products in households is becoming a problem not only for the environment but even more for the health of us humans. Chemical cleaning products leave irritant unhealthy volatile residues in your living space and the cleaned surface might be irritant long after the cleaning. Such a flat is the cause of health problems.
We have created our range of products using the natural Bio-enzymatic power.

The way to change this unhealthy trend is to rely on the time-proven Bio-enzymatic processes our Nature has been using (cleaning waste water, soil, air, …) for millions of years.

 

Competitive Exclusion
The microorganisms in the  range of biological products work on a process called competitive exclusion. This process applies to all areas and surfaces where bad bacteria may exist such as floors, urinals, tiles, showers, waste water, etc. Bad bacteria can be dangerous for our health and are causing malodours through an insufficient degradation of organic matter.
Bad bacteria are often gram negative in nature and this type of bacteria cannot survive without a food source. The use of products adds concentrated ‘friendly’ resilient bacteria into the system. These friendly bacteria immediately start digesting the food source and growing in number they colonise the soil=food source, pipework, floor or any surface and continue the digestion process for as long as the food source exists. The waste product from these friendly bacteria is carbon dioxide and water. When the food source has been depleted, the friendly bacteria have the ability to become dormant and then re-germinate when further food becomes available. The good bacteria take away the food source for the bad bacteria, outperform them and on this basis, the bad bacteria are quickly killed off.

Areas whereStain+Odour Eliminator is able to remove malodour and stains:

• Spilled beer on the sofa
• Spilled milk products on the car upholstery
• Sweat on the car upholstery
• Malodour after the transportation of fish, or after a spill out of water contaminated by fish residuals
• Smell after the transportation of an animal with wet fur
• Territorial marking smell of cats, rabbits and other pets inside the house, as well as around the house and in the garden
• Malodour in animal cages and transportation boxes
• Sweat smell in helmets, shoes, roller skates, ice scates, bowling shoes , etc.
• All smelly textiles and soft furniture after floodings

Case Study Nr.1:
Bacterial Digestion of Malodours - Odour Counteractant Technology.

The number one problem in bathrooms, locker rooms, …. is odour. A foul-smelling bathroom gives the customer a perception of uncleanliness. This perception often travels behind the bathroom to give an impression that the entire establishment is not clean.
Offensive odours such as urine, excrements, vomit, and those emanating from garbage, are composed of many organic compounds that contribute to the overall odour intensity. Treating organic waste with our scientifically selected, non-pathogenic bacterial strains is an environmentally responsible method of accelerating the biodegradation process of malodorous compounds.
To combat these odour generating compounds, and reduce them in the environment, we have in our odour reducing range of products incorporated powerful beneficial, multiple enzyme producing microorganisms, strains that rapidly digest odour producing organic waste.
Urine is often the source of malodours on tile, grout, toilets, and other hard surfaces. Urea is the primary constituent of urine. Many bacteria that are naturally present of hard surfaces produce an enzyme called urease. Urease converts urea into carbon dioxide (CO₂) and ammonia (NH₃), Figure 1. This process releases ammonia into the atmosphere producing a bad odour. To reduce the odours, one must reduce, or eliminate, the ammonia.

Figure 1.  The Breakdown of Urea by Urease
 
CH₄N₂O  →  CO₂ + NH₃  →  Atmosphere
 
With this background information, our scientists set out to develop a biologically based product to degrade urea and utilize the liberated ammonia. The first step in the development of the product was to choose the most performing bacterial strains regarding their ability to degrade urea (superior urease producers).
Having identified bacteria that can degrade urea, a study was performed to test the ability of the most promising urease producers to utilize ammonia. An increase in growth is indicative of the ability to utilize ammonia. As demonstrated in Figure 2, several of the chosen bacteria strains have the ability to utilize ammonia.

Figure 2.  The Growth of Bacteria on Ammonia


 
The studies described above yielded a set of bacterial strains that are superior urease producers and have the ability to utilize ammonia as a nitrogen source for cell growth. The breakdown of urine by these bacterial strains is shown in Figure 3. By consuming the ammonia liberated by the urease enzyme, these strains greatly reduce the odours associated with urine found on tile, grout, toilets, and other hard surfaces.

CH₄N₂O  →  CO₂ + NH₃  →    Bacterial growth (CO₂ to the atmosphere)

Another common source of malodours is volatile fatty acids. The researchers developed a screening method to quickly test the ability of
various bacterial strains to degrade these odour-causing compounds. As shown in Figure 4, the strains of bacteria in our  odour reducing range of products have the ability to digest a variety of volatile organic acids associated with malodours. The result of which is a reduction of malodours released into the atmosphere.

This is our product development philosophy of creating products that work.



Case Study Nr.2:
Microbial Treatment of Odors in Carpet

Historically, when dealing with pet or human waste on carpet, people were required to manually clean the soiled area. This involved scrubbing with a chemical cleaner and wiping up the residual moisture. The result was a stain that appeared to be gone, but still smelled like urine, because residual urine was left in the carpet and pad. Strong perfumes in the cleaning product might temporarily cover up the odour, but after the perfume dissipated, the urine smell would still be present.  And even worse, when the temperature or humidity was high or the carpet was moistened by a spill; the smell from the soiled area was reactivated, causing a strong ammonia odour.  Many times, carpet and pad had to be removed and replaced to eliminate the smell from a residual stain or stains.
With these problems in mind, our scientists developed a product that would eliminate odours by biologically removing residual organic waste.  The biological removal of the organic waste is accomplished by the application of non-odour-causing bacteria which, when applied, utilize the organic waste (in this study urea, the major component of urine) for growth and consume residual organic waste not removed from the carpet or pad.

Experimental Design and Rationale
An experiment was initiated to test the effectiveness of the biological product at removing stains and odours from carpet and pad.  A protocol developed by our scientists in conjunction with a leading carpet care company was used for the study.  Cat urine was used to saturate the carpet and pad.  After 24 hours, our biological product was added to the dry stain and bacterial growth was monitored over time.  Odour reduction was determined in a panel test in which over 70 people rated the degree of odour removal.  The numbers of bacteria were monitored using standard microbiological techniques.  The bacteria in our biological product enzymatically digest cat urine.  The digested cat urine is then consumed by the bacteria for growth. Therefore, an increase in the bacterial population is an indicator that the bacteria are digesting the urine.

Results
The data are shown graphically in Figure 1.  As Figure 1 demonstrates, within 24 hours of application of our bacteria to the carpet with a cat urine stain, the number of bacteria in the carpet increased from 30 million to 300 million.  The same result can be seen in the carpet pad, where within 48 hours, the population increased to over 100 million bacteria.  Only a small portion of bacteria (37-55%) that are applied to the carpet are readily recoverable. This is not uncommon as bacteria can bind tightly to the carpet and pad. With this in mind, the number of bacteria shown in Figure 1 would be greater if all of the bacteria could be recovered. All recovered or not, there are billions of bacteria working on eliminating the source of the odour.

Results
The results in this experiment are consistent with the accepted literature stating that our bacteria in our product Stain+Odour Eliminator can utilize urea as a growth substrate by the production of an enzyme called urease. These results also demonstrate the large number of viable bacteria that our product produces. A test panel of 73 people agreed that our bacteria significantly reduced or eliminated odour in a treated sample, as compared to an untreated sample. By using our biologically based product Stain+Odour Eliminator you will have billions of cells working through enzyme production to break down and consume animal and human waste on the carpet and pad.
