If it ain't the Salts that will get you, it's those pesky enzymes..


What's a hack to use?

 

[Tom Forsythe]

Often the words enzymes and bacteria are interchanged. Enzymes are the by-product of bacteria action. The bacterial products in our industry do not have the same health issues as enzymes themselves. Bacteria spores come in contact with a food source and create an enzyme factory (simplistic terms). This is an efficient factory as the bacteria strain produces the correct enzyme in the right amount to accomplish the task with no left overs. The bacteria returns to spore form. An enzyme (produced by specialized suppliers) can be used where there is too much enzyme and potentially the wrong enzyme to digest the material. These enzymes form a residue that in soft surfaces can be readily become airborne and cause sensitive individuals to react. You need to know if what you are using is a bacteria or an enzyme. Enzymes are much safer to use in laundry and hard surface applications. Designing a product with enzymes is a guessing game as you determine which enzyme and what amount. Every task will leave leftovers as the exact composition of the spot will be different from one spot to another. A wide spectrum bacterial product is the way to go for soft surfaces. It will take longer as the bacteria has to multiply and create the enzymes, but there will be no leftover.

I am sure that I have posted about that before. Enzymes are allergens for many folks. The enzymes used in powder cleaning products are almost always coated, like the chocolate in the M&Ms. While the coating is intact, the enzymes don't induce an allergic reaction. It takes some dwell time, maybe 10 ro 20 minutes, for water to dissolve the coating. Then the enzyme can begin working.

Enzymes in liquid, powdered enzymes dissovled in water, don't get up in the air and into the breathing zone.

The points to learn -

• Most enzyme products require a longer dwell time before the enzyme portion of the formula is really active.
• Most products with powder enzyems have other ingredients that do most of the cleaning before the enzymes get started.
• The greatest benefit of enzyemes in powdered products is the marketing pull of this natural technology.

to rely on enzymes and the heat being just right through your Hydroforce is just too much of a pain in the ass for me.

Give me some orange juice and a Brush Head for the nasties.

I remember the enzyme craze of the very early 1970's, Tide and many other laundry products featured them.

They really DID out clean comparable products by far.

Agree. They had a lot of dwell time in the wash cycle. Some were applied prior to washing and gots lots of dwell time.

I could mop a nasty floor with it and get an IMMEDIATE striking line when the mop went across the floor, scary fast.

Don't drink your prespray, unless your name is Ivan.

As Scott has mentioned, enzyme dust can cause allergic reactions.

Enzyme manufacturers have countered this by coating the enzymes to prevent this dust in powdered products.

An efficient Truckmount extraction process will remove a very high percentage of any "enzyme residue" left.
