STEPS TO CLEANING<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Understand the type of soiling (example oil) Actions that follow \u2013 make the right decision on the type of cleaning chemical to be used and the application:<\/p>\n \u2022 Concentration Why use surfactants in cleaning?<\/strong><\/p>\n The main tasks of surface active agents for cleaning chemicals are to:<\/p>\n \u2022 Reduce the surface tension of the water This is the most expensive raw material used in cleaning and industrial chemicals and when it comes to Environmentally Friendly Surfactants, it is even more expensive. This is where you will find that some manufacturers and suppliers of cleaning chemicals will dilute products heavily to save cost and be more competitive. In the long run, they are only costing the user more money, since you have to use more chemicals to get the job done, as well as costs the planet more in using scarce resources:<\/p>\n \u2022 More raw materials What is Green?<\/strong><\/p>\n Green is associated with<\/p>\n \u2022 Regeneration The green movement refers to environmentally-friendly products.<\/p>\n Sustainability \u2013 The capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time.<\/p>\n Renewable resource \u2013 A natural resource is a renewable resource if it is replaced by natural processes at a rate comparable or faster than its rate of consumption by humans.<\/p>\n Environmentally-friendly \u2013 Also known as eco-friendly, nature-friendly and green.<\/p>\n All these terms refer to goods and services, laws, guidelines and policies considered to inflict minimal or no harm to the environment.<\/p>\n Carbon Footprint<\/strong><\/p>\n Carbon footprint means the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organisation, event or product. For simplicity\u2019s sake, it is often expressed in terms of the amount of carbon dioxide, or its equivalent of other GHG\u2019s, emitted.<\/p>\n Biodegradable Industrial cleaning chemicals<\/strong><\/p>\n A biodegradable product has the ability to break down, safely and relatively quickly, by biological means, into the raw materials of nature and disappear into the environment.<\/p>\n What is Green Cleaning?<\/strong><\/p>\n Green cleaning means the use of those products and services that have a lesser or reduced impact on human health and the environment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose.<\/p>\n \u2022 Save the planet \u2013 preserve the environment Who is going green?<\/strong><\/p>\n Only some people are going green, and then not fully. Due to the perceived cost of going green and the notion that green products are not as good as bleaches, acids and chemicals that are strong, foam more and have a particular perceived violent attack on dirt.<\/p>\n Corporations and households tend to separate processes where, if they decide to go green, they will go green only in the critical processes, example where there could be contact with food or critical hygiene interaction.<\/p>\n Types of GREEN Cleaners \/ Industrial cleaning chemicals<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/xmt.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Cleaning-Chemicals.png” _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”Cleaning-Chemicals” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n enviroteQ Cleaning Chemicals:<\/p>\n \u2022 Green chemical cleaners What was eliminated from the enviroteQ range?<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 \u201cButyl cleaner\u201d (2-butoxyethanol) Biological Cleaners \u2013 Bio-teQ Range (Industrial Cleaning Chemicals)<\/strong> Enzymes \u2013 An enzyme is a catalyst that breaks up long, complex waste molecules into smaller pieces, which can then be digested directly by the bacteria.<\/p>\n Microbes \u2013 Microbe = bacteria. The bacteria selected for enzyme cleaners consume organic waste thousands of times faster than the bacteria that are naturally present in the waste.<\/p>\n Why use enzymes?<\/p>\n \u2022 Non-toxic Four basic classes of Enzymes most relevant to cleaning and cleaning chemicals:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Lipase breaks down fats and greases Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n Microbes multiply to accommodate the volume of waste.
