We are available 7-days a week!
FIRST... SporiCLEAN is NOT A CHEMICAL CLEANER! We are always asked if SporiCLEAN is safe? It is not only safe... it is very effective at hygienically cleaning all washable surfaces. SporiCLEAN cannot be compared with a chemical solution as it performs in a completely different manner... SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY! SporiCLEAN is an all natural Plant-Based (organic) Multi-Enzyme blended GREEN Cleaning product. SporiCLEAN is Non-Toxic, Non-Caustic, Non-Hazardous and Non-Harmful to People, Pets and Plants along with being beneficial and safe to our water and aquatic life - (fish and plants). SporiCLEAN is made with a neutral pH 6.75 - 7.25 making it the most environmentally balanced and beneficial product in the market. The major ingredients are a Multi-Enzyme formulation primarily consisting of: (Protease, Amylase, Lipase, Cellulase and Carbohydrase along with several sub-level enzymes… and we also blend in an organic Coconut Oil for our Surfactant! The Protease enzyme breaks down and digests only organic protein substance or microorganism. The Amylase enzyme breaks down and digests only organic carbohydrates into simple basic sugar components. The Lipase enzyme breaks down and digests only greases, fats and fatty-oils (common to foods and cooking). These are safe and beneficial to rinse straight down the drains - where SporiCLEAN will continue to perform its beneficial digesting action throughout the drain pipes, drain pipe walls, sewer systems, septic systems and waste water treatment facilities. The Cellulase enzyme only digests or breaks down fibrous matter (like yeast and other fungus/mold matter). The roots of a mold are called hyphae (hi-pha) and are a fibrous substance that "Bleach will not effect!" The Carbohydrase enzyme only digests or breaks down hydrocarbon (petroleum distillates) such as motor oils and machine oils - the oils that drip from our automobiles. NOTE: Enzymes do not break down synthetic materials or oils - only "organic matter!" Enzymes are a "protein" catalyst "energy." Enzymes are made up of amino-acids and become a protein molecule. Enzymes ARE NOT a living microorganism, but ARE a "Living Energy" capable of one single action; to break down or digest a specific organic molecule or microorganism. EXAMPLE: The Protease enzyme only breaks down a protein molecule or microorganism. So what kind of microorganisms are made of protein? All molds, and all bacteria (including all infectious bacteria MRSA, C-Dif, VRE, PVL, and other "super-bugs"). Note: All viruses are known as parasites and are a sub-microorganism which is covered with a protein coating. When a virus is exposed to the Protease enzyme, the enzyme breaks down the protein coating and causes the virus to become "inert or incapable of living or reproducing." When the Protease enzyme comes into contact with any living mold or bacteria, the Protease enzyme completely and thoroughly breaks down the microorganisms and dissolves it! Once the mold or bacteria is broken down, it can no longer survive or reproduce and will stop living. SporiCLEAN is quickly replacing all harmful and toxic chemical disinfectants, because these chemicals no longer disinfect the "Super-Bugs" (infectious bacteria) as they have built an immune resistance to the chemicals! NOTE: Molds and infectious bacteria have not shown the ability to build an immune resistance to the "living energy" of the Protease enzyme! This is a vitally important scientific fact to always remember! SporiCLEAN contains multi-enzymes which are capable of gently yet very effectively destroying Mold, Bacteria, Viruses and household Germs. How can SporiCLEAN clean so many different types of surfaces? As mentioned above, SporiCLEAN is made up of multiple enzymes, and each enzyme will only perform the action listed above. By combining these multiple enzymes into one totally SAFE and GREEN cleaning solution, SporiCLEAN is capable of cleaning away all "organic" matter from all washable surfaces. NOTE: You need several different chemicals cleaners to clean your kitchen, bathroom, tile & grout, living room, carpets, stoves & appliances etc., and you will easily spend over $100.00 per year in these unnecessary and harmful chemical cleaning products! With SporiCLEAN, you will hygienically clean all the same surfaces but with one single product... and that, will SAVE YOU $100s of dollars per year! SporiCLEAN will not harm washable surfaces no matter what they may be coated or treated with. Often we are asked about treated marble, ceramic and tile, and the answer is simple, SporiCLEAN will not have any adverse effects on these materials or surface treatments! Can SporiCLEAN help with Toe-nail or Finger nail fungus? SporiCLEAN is very effective at breaking down and digesting the fungus that grows on the feet and within or under the nails. For several years, we have been receiving excellent reports how SporiCLEAN has assisted many people from this fungus outbreak. Use the General Purpose 2-ounce dilution and either spray it over the infected area or for your nails, use a cotton-swab to disperse the solution. This will take about 1 to 3 weeks for you to see a very good improvement. How good does SporiCLEAN clean? SporiCLEAN cleans safer and more thoroughly than any "toxic or caustic chemical cleaner." SporiCLEAN cleans "hygienically" meaning "healthy cleaning" and will not harm any surface material it is cleaning. "SporiCLEAN is The GREEN Alternative to Chemical Disinfectants!!" SporiCLEAN is the most Natural GREEN cleaning product you can buy in the market. It has been tested against the leading toxic chemical disinfectants and cleaned equally as well or better without damaging or harming sensitive surfaces and fabrics. No other product is safer or more effective at eliminating dirt, grime and organic debris from all washable surfaces along with MOLD, INFECTIOUS BACTERIA, VIRUSES and GERMS! How do I use the SporiCLEAN concentrate? There are 2 basic dilutions. (1) General Purpose Cleaner and (2) Professional Strength Mold Remediation and/or Sewer/Flood Water Clean-up.
How long will SporiCLEAN last (Shelf-Life)? Whether in full concentrate or diluted in water, SporiCLEAN will last for around 2-years! NOTE: We use an organic coconut oil as our surfactant and it can separate or fall out of the solution. If you notice this, simply shake the bottle gently to put it back into solution, and you are ready to use it again. Does temperature have an effect on SporiCLEAN? Yes. Try to avoid freezing SporiCLEAN as it will inactivate the enzymes and you will need to wait for them to completely thaw. Once thawed, they are active and good to use. You need to remember that using SporiCLEAN in lower temperatures from (35oF to 45oF), the Enzymes will react slowly and you will be required to use much more elbow-grease [labor] to clean a surface.
High temperatures
can have an irreversible effect and destroy the enzyme energy.
Do not use above 150oF to 155oF. Avoid
storing SporiCLEAN in automobiles or garages where temperatures in
the hot summer months can exceed 150oF. You will destroy
the enzyme energy! Does using more SporiCLEAN then shown in the directions work better? If you use more than the 4 ounces, you will not harm your cleaning, but you will only be using more product than necessary. We performed highly controlled laboratory tests for over 1-year and used 1 ounce, 2 ounces, 3 ounces all the way up to 12 ounces. We learned in the controlled laboratory tests that over 4 ounces, you were simply wasting product! We want to save money… not throw it away! Can SporiCLEAN harm my fabrics or carpeting? No! SporiCLEAN is an all natural (non-chemical) GREEN Cleaning product. It will not stain or harm fabric fibers or carpet fibers as long as you do not pour the full concentrate directly into the fabric or carpet. You must always use the diluted (2-ounces of concentrate to 1-gallon of clean water). The full strength heavy concentrate is far too much enzymes to put on any fabric surface and you would need to immediately flush it thoroughly with a constant flood of clean water to dilute it. Remember, 2 ounces make a full gallon of Ready-to-use product for all interior household cleaning… including carpet stains!! How do I clean mold from my vinyl siding and concrete walkway? You would use 4-ounces of SporiCLEAN concentrate per 1-gallon of water on all outdoor cleaning projects. The same as you would for indoor mold remediation and flood water clean-up projects. The outdoors have many temperature swings, rain, snow or heavy winds that embed the dirt and grime into the surfaces. The sun’s Ultraviolet Rays break down fabrics and other materials leaving them weaker and more susceptible to rain and mold damage. To Clean Outdoors: Pour 4-ounces of concentrate into 1-gallon of water. Use a Hand-Pump Sprayer (available at any good hardware store) and pour the gallon mixture into the holding tank. Pump the tank with air-pressure and begin to spray the moldy, mildew, and dirty surface. Next: Take a medium bristle brush and brush the SporiCLEAN mixture into the surface dirt or mold to begin the separation from the surface. Next: Allow the brushed mixture to penetrate into the surface for a minimum of 5-minutes. There isn’t a time that is too long, if the SporiCLEAN dries, simply spray over it again and then rinse it off with a garden hose (jet-spray nozzle) or a power-washer. NOTE: Use extreme caution with a power-washer as it can harm or dig into wood, siding, or fabrics and ruin them. Never use a power-washer unless you are experienced! SUMMARY: Spray on the SporiCLEAN Mixture. Brush it into the dirty surface. Allow it to penetrate (dwell on the surface) for at least 5-minutes. Rinse it off. If you have prolonged embedded dirt or mold, you may need to repeat these steps several times. IMPORTANT NOTE: The first time you apply the SporiCLEAN to a contaminated surface, you will have hygienically cleaned (decontaminated) the surface if you followed these steps.
Can SporiCLEAN be used on Asphalt Shingles? No, SporiCLEAN has a Carbohydrase enzyme that can slowly break down the petroleum based asphalt in the shingling. This can eventually shorten the life of the shingles. We recommend that you contact www.RoofReviver.com (Tim & Mica Moeller) for your asphalt roof shingle cleaning product. NOTE: For slate, tile, wood and metal roofing materials, SporiCLEAN will work excellent! The Carbohydrase enzyme breaks down hydrocarbons and motor oils. This is beneficial for garage oil stains! Why does SporiCLEAN seem so expensive?
SporiCLEAN is actually
much less expensive than any cleaner that you would buy in a Dollar
Store! You must remember that SporiCLEAN is a ‘heavy concentrate’
and a little goes a long way. It is also good for 2-years! The
cleaning chemicals you would purchase in a dollar store are diluted
so much that they are ineffective! Here’s a SporiCLEAN Cost
Breakdown. General Purpose 16-Gallons = $2.00/Gallon and $0.50/Quart Professional Strength 8-Gallons = $4.00/Gallon and $1.00/Quart SporiCLEAN is very cost-effective, especially when you calculate how many harmful and toxic chemical cleaning products you must purchase that SporiCLEAN replaces. You will save at least $100 per year. Does SporiCLEAN work at destroying insects and bed-bugs etc?
Yes, SporiCLEAN is excellent at breaking down and destroying the following insects. Use the professional strength dilution of 4-ounces of SporiCLEAN concentrate to 1-gallon of clean water or 1-ounce per quart for all of the following applications:
Always insure you protect yourself when cleaning flood water contamination!
If you have any questions, please contact our offices at: (877) 703-3330.
Why is bleach not good to use in a flood water cleanup? Bleach is a poisonous toxic liquid that rapidly turns into a gas. Bleach is only used on hard-surfaces to disinfect bacteria. It DOES NOT Kill Mold! Bleach has never killed mold and has never been sold to kill mold - Please read the label - Click here During our initial visit to Cedar Rapids, Iowa June 17th - 22nd, we learned of many people using bleach that had to be rushed to the hospital from the fumes and toxic vapors. They were using bleach in basements that had no windows and toxic vapors overwhelmed them and hurt their respiratory systems. NOTE: No harmful odors occurred with SporiCLEAN - in fact, people came back to us the next day telling us how easy and complete SporiCLEAN worked! It took out all of the putrefied sewage smells left behind by the flood waters... and it took away the bleach smell too! How much do I mix for flood water cleanup? Mix 4-ounces of SporiCLEAN concentrate to 1-gallon of clean water. We recommend that you pour this mixture directly into a hand-pump sprayer to perform flood water cleanup. Hand-pump sprayers are available at all Do It Best Hardware Stores in America! For smaller clean work, you can pour the mixture into clean quart spray bottles - Be sure there are NO CHEMICALS left in the spray bottles as they can break down the Organic Enzymes in SporiCLEAN and they will not work for you! Always insure that you use a clean container (No pesticides, insecticides, fungicides or other chemical residue... be sure to thoroughly wash out all traces of any chemicals in all containers before pouring SporiCLEAN into the Sprayer Containers!) If you have any questions - contact our offices for assistance at: (877) 703-3330. How much area will a quart of concentrate cover in my home? When using 4-ounces of concentrate to 1-gallon of water, you will have enough professional strength cleaner per gallon to clean 400 sq. ft. You can make up to 8-gallons of professional strength with each quart of SporiCLEAN concentrate - so you will have enough to to about 3,000 sq. ft. NOTE: When cleaning a flooded property, you will probably use double the amount due to the heavy concentration of contaminants - so you will clean around 1,500 sq. ft. in a serious flood situation. Will it harm my drains or septic system? Absolutely not! SporiCLEAN is 100% safe for all drains and septic systems including leach beds. In fact, SporiCLEAN will actually help in further breaking down the sludge, slime and debris that is inside the drains or septic systems. It will also break down the odors inside the property and inside the drains and septic systems.
What flooded items can I clean? You can clean all washable surfaces with SporiCLEAN with some degree of caution! If you have stuffed animals, couches, chairs with cushions, mattresses, (anything with padding - carpets & pads), these should all be thrown out! They are not worth taking the chance!! Now, Clothing, Curtains, Fabric Material, Hardwood furniture, Metal and most hard plastic items can be cleaned as followed: NOTE: You will need a very clean large tub or very large container to properly clean the following flooded items!!
After I tear-out my dry-wall or plaster, can I spray the studs and support beams? When you begin the flood water clean-up process, you should initially take the time and minimal expense to spray down all interior surfaces to provide the best possible working environment you can. SporiCLEAN works as a general topical spray decontamination solution with the 4-ounce of concentrate per gallon of water mixture. Flood water is highly infectious and any bacteria that touches a cut or other skin wound can become infected! Also, you never want to breathe in (inhale) infectious bacteria spores that are airborne from the trapped water inside a property! You must protect all possible entry locations; eyes, ears, skin and respiratory system entrance (nose and mouth). You must wear face masks, non-porous goggles, ear-plugs, surgical gloves underneath a pair of good heavy-duty work gloves. You don't want to cut your skin by nails, screws, broken furniture, metal or plastic objects. Take care of your body at all costs... as the penalty later can be a serious medical infection or disease! TEAR-OUT: After full tear-out, use the 4-ounce concentrate mixture and spray all exposed wood and flooring and ceilings (joists, studs, trusses, structural beams etc with SporiCLEAN). This will provide an excellent layer of decontamination and protection. If the interior studs are moldy, spray a heavy coating of SporiCLEAN and rinse off with hose or power-washer (if possible) - but try to clean all surfaces as best as possible. When you are completed with this process, spray an additional coating over all exposed wood and allow to air-dry as a protective coating. After the second coating, you can re-insulate and begin to restore the walls and other fixtures.
If you have any questions - contact our offices for assistance at: (877) 703-3330. What about clothing that was soaked in the flood water? Can it be cleaned? As described above, fill a utility sink, large tub or bathtub with 3-ounces of SporiCLEAN concentrate to 5-gallons of clean water. Place clothing items into this mixture and allow to soak thoroughly for 1 to 2 hours minimum. You cannot soak them too long - even overnight is okay. 1 to 2 hours will provide a good decontamination of all mold and infectious bacteria spores that may be trapped inside the fibers. You can occasionally stir the clothes with a heavy stick or broom handle to insure the mixture has reaches inside all crumbled folds of the clothing. After soaking for 1-2 hours, rinse well with clean water and place clothing into washing machine. Add 2-ounces of SporiCLEAN concentrate to the wash water and wash as normal. You do not use detergent as the SporiCLEAN "replaces" the detergent! What can't I clean after a flood and why? All thick cushioned or padded items, chair padding, furniture (couches, chairs, ottoman, etc.), all soft stuffed items like stuffed animals, toys, pillows, mattresses, carpets, padding etc. If you have a throw rug, it can be cleaned with SporiCLEAN as described above, but it may be easier to simply throw it away and purchase a new one. If it is older or sentimental in value, you can follow the instruction provided above - 3-ounces of SporiCLEAN per 5-gallons of water. Is SporiCLEAN safe to use around children or in the baby's room? SporiCLEAN should positively be used around all children's play and sleeping areas. Nursery-rooms, and all washable surfaces should be cleaned (always - before and after a flood) with SporiCLEAN. SporiCLEAN is 100% Safe and very effective at destroying all infectious bacteria, mold spores and any germs that may be present on all washable surfaces. SporiCLEAN can be used as a "head-lice" shampoo or for fungal concerns on the skin. 2-ounces of SporiCLEAN concentrate into 1-gallon of water works well for these type of cleaning concerns. Whenever a flood water condition is present, please use 4-ounces of SporiCLEAN concentrate per 1-gallon of water and follow the instructions provided above. What about my pets? Will SporiCLEAN hurt them? SporiCLEAN is perfectly safe around pets and on all objects they may play with. Bird cages, perches, seed and water containers. Pets with fleas can be shampooed with 2-ounces of SporiCLEAN concentrate to 1-gallon of water. Pour out 1-cup and pour it over the animal while gently rubbing it into their fur and skin. Allow the shampoo mixture to soak into the fur and skin for 10-minutes - and rinse them with clean water. Any residual SporiCLEAN will not harm them at all. Our Enzymes are the same as purchased in a health food store. We just use a much greater volume in SporiCLEAN then you would purchase as a digestive enzyme. All of our enzymes are 100% Plant-Based and we use an organic coconut oil as our surfactant. NOTE: You will not find a safer and more efficient all purpose cleaner in the market!
