Clean Up That Oily Mess With EATOILS BT200

Here is a report from one of our happy customers - Clean and Green Solutions in the Houston, Texas area - Doug Rucker.

Good morning Charles, attached you will find some pictures of an oil spill we recently cleaned up in a parking lot using BT200(TM).  The oily area was approx. 6000 sq. ft. in total size. On arrival we used the BT200(TM) at 5:1, agitated with a stiff broom, and then pressure washed with a hot water pressure washer.  We then applied another application at 5:1 and let it set.  About a week later, with heavy rain in the forecast the following day, we went back, applied again at 5:1, agitated it again with a stiff broom, and walked away.  The next day we received heavy rains storms.  We went back the next day and found that virtually all the stains had disappeared. We used a total of 4 gallons of BT200 to do the job.

I should also add, that this oil spill had set for over a week, with vehicle traffic driving through it and pushing it into the pores of the concrete as well as tracking it everywhere.  Prior to us finally be chosen to do the work, (they had tried one other company at a much lower price than ours), that had zero affect on the stains.

EATOILS™ BT 200™ Is Ideal For Boat Cleaning Applications - Even Keeps the Bilge Clean!

EATOILS™ BT 200™ is a great product for cleaning and maintaining boats and RV's, including bilge areas and cleaning waterline scum without harming surfaces. One of our regular marine clients raves, “I just wipe BT 200™ on the hull & decks, lay on the dock for a nap for a couple of hours, and when I wake up, my sailboat is all clean and shiny, like new – amazing!”

Here's Mike's sailboat at the dock

One of our regular clients, Mike Morris says, “As you can see there is a lot of deck on my boat. The easiest and best way to clean it is to spray BT 200™ on the wet deck and scrub lightly with a brush and then rinse. Amazingly, when we come back in a few days the deck is whiter than when we leave it. In order to maximize this effect sometimes, after we have cleaned it, we wet the deck again and mist BT 200™ onto it as we are leaving for home. When we return the deck is spotless and gleaming white. Because there are no caustic or corrosive substances in BT 200™ it is better for the gelcoat too.”

We have many marine clients who regularly add BT 200™ to their bilges to maintain the bilge water free of oils and organic residue. As the boat moves in the water the BT 200™ and water splash around the hull interior and safely clean away any oils, grease, residue, mold, etc. that may have accumulated on the surfaces.

For larger marine craft the uses are even more varied – deck cleaning, interior cleaning, degreasing & maintenance, to name just a few.

EATOILS™ BT 200™ is safe to use, solvent free, environmentally friendly, and highly effective. We have countless clients who have told us how wonderful the product is. Originally designed for safely removing oil stains from concrete and asphalt, BT 200™ is a super cleaning product for a number of diverse applications.

Not only does it deep clean all surfaces, but the product uses continuous, non-stop cleaning action to keep on working long after you're done to remove all traces of smoke and organic residue.

BT 200™ is GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED green. Why not order some today? Come to our website at eatoils.com

Oil Stains On Concrete Or Pavers - Use EATOILS™ BT200™ And They'll Be GONE!

hydraulic spill on concrete pavers                                             concrete pavers after using BT200™

Oil stains on concrete can be a real problem. Whether it is on a roadway, driveway, restaurant drive-thru, bank drive thru, mall parking lot, parking garage, pavers, or whatever, - large or small, it can be an ugly mess!

Typical cleaners and degreasers will have some affect however, they don't go deep enough into the pores of the concrete to remove the black oil stains so only the surface of the oil is removed and a lasting stain remains - the results are usually less than satisfactory.

EATOILS™ BT200™ on the other hand, does go deep into the pores of the concrete to remove the oil residue and return the concrete to its original color.

EATOILS™ BT200™ is composed of natural surfactants, nutrients and beneficial microbes that target oils and grease with billions of tiny scrubbers to break down and digest the oils and other hydrocarbons and replace them with three harmless chemicals - oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide as a result.

Here's a testimonial from the Pressure Washing Institute's website Testimonials forum:

BT200™ and Pavers "I have been cleaning this one property’s front entrance area for about 4 years. They only clean it once a year. It has an area of red pavers (about 7500 sq. ft.), that when I got there 4+ years ago was totally wasted with leaked oil, a major stain as buses and cars park here. I told the manager back then - the best thing was to flip the pavers. He didn’t want to do that. I have cleaned the area 4 times with heavy duty degreasers and heat, but just didn’t get the stains out enough at all, I just made it better than it was. I was never happy with the finished product but the manager said it looked better. We would finish it but there were still some pretty black areas and then lighter stuff that looked okay."

"Well, this week I used EATOILS™ BT200™ on it and I have to say, it was a major difference and looked damn good, I'm pretty impressed."

"Before when we cleaned even when it was still wet you could see the oil stain. Last night we cleaned and wet areas and areas that had some time to dry out - you just couldn't see the stains that have been there for years. My guys and I were pretty surprised - and so was the maintenance guy. The stains were gone (if not 100%, certainly 90%) - it really looked good - a lot better than any other time we have cleaned. We went the night before and applied the BT200™ and went back last night and cleaned. I took some pictures but I want to go back when its 100% dry and take another look. But no matter what, it’s A LOT better."

NEXT DAY: "All I’ve got to say is WOW! After seeing how it looked last night, I really wanted to see how it looked the next day when it was dry, WOW!! As I was driving to take a look at it the property, the manager on property called to tell me how great it looked. I told him I would be there in a few minutes. Man, it looks 98% better than anytime I cleaned it before. (I did do something different on one 10x10 section last night. Where I had the BT200™ on a little area I X-jetted some Degreaser, the area wasn’t any cleaner than where I just put BT200™.)"

"Now on the pavers it is fantastic! There was some border area with a very smooth concrete and that is showing the stain shadow a little more than the pavers, but even that’s 85% cleaner than I ever got it before. This product even got in between the pavers really good - in the grooves there was no stain at all. Good stuff EATOILS™!" Testimonial from Jeff LeCours of JL PRESSURE WASHING of Myrtle Beach, SC.

EATOILSTM BT200TM Cleans Up Oils And Grease At Car And Truck Repair Facilities

Do you have oil and grease stains and deposits on all of your shop surfaces? You might be surprised at what you will find when you start cleaning all of your oil coated wall, floor and touch surfaces - here are a few examples!

Cleaning a wall at a truck repair facility - Just spray and wipe.

As you look around your facility I'm sure you will find many places where a deep clean-up would be noticed.  Try it on cupboards, garbage bins, tables and chairs, counters, walls, doors, door frames, washrooms, office areas, etc. - everywhere that might get splashed, or where an oily film can build up.  You can even use it on carpet and upholstery to remove oils and grease!  You'll be surprised at how quickly your staff will get to it once they see how easy it is to make your facility spotless and clean!

Floor at a truck repair facility-Just spray, brush, and rinse.

By the way, if you do have a trench drain or floor drain in your facility like most truck and auto repair shops, you should consider using EATOILS™ BT200™ for your floor cleaning - and allow the waste water to go down the trench drain - it will clean the drain and even the interceptor past the drain.  Add a constant flow of air to the interceptor reservoir and you can virtually eliminate the regular clean-out fee - all of the oily mess will be digested by the microbes in EATOILS™ BT200™.

Painted safety barrier-Just spray and wipe.

We have hundreds of truck and auto repair facilities who use our GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN Cleaning products including EATOILS™ BT200™ to keep their facilities clean and oil free.  You can order the product on-line at www.eatoils.com or by phone.

Testimonial - When It Comes To Deep Cleaning Diesel And Oil Stains From Concrete - There Is No Substitute For Eatoils(TM) BT200(TM)

typical truck fueling station before and after
use of EATOILS™ BT200™ (1 treatment)

Here is a testimonial from one of our mobile wash contractors who uses EATOILS™ BT200™ for cleaning hydrocarbon impacted concrete pads:

I am the owner of a mobile “environmental” pressure washing company and we specialize in everything from spill cleanup, diesel and fuel pad cleaning, mold/mildew abatement to fleet washing with full reclaim and recycle.

One of our toughest jobs is removing oil and grease stains from a diesel fuel pad. Over the years, we have tried just about every degreaser, green product and even 3-4 different types of Bio-enzymatic cleaners. One account in particular was washed with EATOILS™ BT200™ on our first wash. They were highly impressed with the results and I have to admit, I was surprised to see how many of these 2-3 years old stains came out of the concrete. The thick black oil and diesel buildup just peeled away when we used the BT200™ as instructed.


Over the subsequent cleanings, I felt it would be a great opportunity to test other products and see how they stacked up against the EATOILS™ product. After six more washings, I was asked to meet with the Director of maintenance and his concerns were clear… “We would like you to put as much into the job now as you did on the first wash”.

I was stunned that they thought I might not be as interested in cleaning their diesel pads now as I had been 24 months ago (pads are cleaned quarterly). He went on to explain that after the first wash, the pads actually continued to lighten.

Our next visit, I used the EATOILS™ BT200™ and once again, my client was thrilled with the results. It took me 6 months and a potentially unhappy client to determine that there is NO SUBSTITUTE for the EATOILS™ product. 

We also use their SUPERFRESH™ product when we clean compactors or anywhere that has an odor that traditional chemicals and 200-degree water just can’t conquer. The SUPERFRESH™ product is absolutely amazing. We always have a bottle in our home for the laundry and when we wash our children’s clothes, we throw a shot in and it removes any and all odors.

If you haven’t used the EATOILS™ products yet, you owe it to yourself to order up a couple of 5-gallon pails of the products that you will most likely use. It truly is the best way to let the cleaner do the work! Their customer service is fantastic and shipping is prompt.

Removing Mold & Mildew From Soft Mexican Brick With EATOILS™ BT200™





Old Mexican Brick Chimney With Mold & Mildew - Before

After Cleaning With EATOILS™ BT200™

If you have ever had to clean a home that has Mexican Brick as its exterior siding, you know it can be very challenging to clean in a safe and efficient manner. Mexican Brick is very soft and brittle, not to mention - very porous, so you need to be very careful not to damage it when you try to remove anything from it with traditional pressure washing equipment and chemicals. When cleaning this type of brick one must be very careful and not apply too much pressure. If too much pressure is applied, the brick can literally break in half and disintegrate into dust.

To get Mexican Brick completely clean you must use a non-hazardous, safe solution that can get into the pores of the brick to REMOVE the mold and mildew completely without damaging the surface or trhe integrity of the brick.  If possible, you want to deep clean the surface and, if possible, to prevent future mold growth.

Most traditional mold & mildew removing chemicals contain toxins or dangerous additives and they only clean the surface mold and mildew at the 'moment of contact'. This leaves tiny spores behind in the pores of the brick that will just begin growing again immediately once the moisture builds up to the right level.

EATOILS™' local distributor in Porter, Texas, Clean and Green Solutions LLC, deals with Mexican Brick on a daily basis.  Recently, they were called out to this home (see Before picture above) to clean all the mold and mildew from the brick. The homeowner had received complaint letters from the local neighborhood homeowners association and he needed to get the home cleaned in order to be in compliance with the association guidelines.

Here is how they did it: Using the EATOILS™ BT200™ Certified GREEN degreaser they mixed the product at 5 ounces of EATOILS™ BT200™ to one gallon of water. Using an X-JET applicator, they applied the diluted EATOILS™ BT200™ to the entire surface of all walls and allowed it to sit for 10 minutes. Then they repeated the application and allowed to it to sit for an additional 20 minutes. They used a total of five gallons of diluted solution, which required 25 ounces of EATOILS™ BT200™.  An X-JET applicator is a nozzle for a Pressure Washer that allows the product to be applied directly to the surface with out being diluted any further. Even though the EATOILS™ BT200™ is a degreaser, it is an excellent product for removing mold and mildew on contact, plus it also can prevent the re-infestation of the mold.

After allowing the EATOILS™ BT200™ to dwell for the times stated, they then used the pressure washer (3500PSI/6 GPM) to remove the mold and mildew stains. However, they used the chemical tip. The chemical tip is normally used to apply solution or chemicals at a very low pressure. This tip actually sprays the water onto the surface with less pressure than a garden hose sprayer that is set on “jet” or “full stream”. Using this tip meant that absolutely NO high pressure was used - ANOTHER AMAZING REASON TO USE EATOILS™ BT200™!

As you can see in the pictures above (Before and After), the brick cleaned up perfectly with no damage to the brick whatsoever. Once all areas were cleaned they re-applied the EATOILS™ BT200™ and left it to dry with NO RINSING. This will provide continuing, ongoing cleaning and mold prevention to help to keep the brick cleaner for a longer period of time.

EATOILS™ BT200™ is a Super Concentrated GREEN degreaser and all purpose cleaner. Once diluted at 5 ounces per gallon, our end user product cost was less than $5.00. Compared to the cost of other products that require dangerous chemicals to do the cleaning, and can damage the surface, EATOILS™ BT200™ stands alone as the best and safest cleaner - yet it remains one of the most economical available on the market today.

EATOILS™ BT200™ degreaser can also be used to remove oil and other automotive stains from equipment, concrete, asphalt and soil. It also a great cleaner for canvas and fabric sunshades, umbrellas, tents, etc. EATOILS™ BT200™ will also remove grease, tar, and oil, from clothing, drapes, carpeting, upholstery and just about any other surface. Plus, it is environmentally friendly - GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN and completely safe for you and your family.

Asphalt Sealer On Concrete? Not A Problem With EATOILS™ BT200™

concrete driveway before treatment

Here's what our distributor had to say about this situation.  "The customer had hired a kid to seal his driveway for him (a brand new home in a new sub-division of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada).  He gave the young fellow the money to pick up the sealer and rollers - and he assumed the young man knew what he was doing.  Apparently, the young fellow picked up a pail of asphalt driveway sealer by mistake and he had applied it to the majority of the open aggregate driveway before he realized something was terribly wrong.  Needless to say the homeowner was quite upset."

Our local Distributor, Monty Berg of Cleaner Alternatives, in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, took the (BEFORE) picture above - for us to see what he was faced with as he tried to address the client's concerns about his driveway.  As Monty had used our products successfully for a number of years, he was pleased and confident to suggest our EATOILS™ BT200™ for the job.  Due to the ongoing cleaning action of EATOILS™ BT200™ Monty knew that the stains would be continually cleaned by the millions of tiny micro-scrubbers in BT200™ and that the deep stains could be effectively reversed in a relatively short timeframe.

"As the driveway was open aggregate concrete and only about a month old, it had absorbed the asphalt sealer quite deeply into the surface so there was a scramble to reverse the process as quickly as possible," Monty says.

First, the entire area was sprayed with mineral spirits to break up the oils in the sealer.  Then the driveway was sprayed with healthy dose of warm water and EATOILS™ BT200™ (in a 3:1 ratio).  The entire area was brushed with a stiff broom to help the product penetrate into the pores of the concrete.  BT200™ cleaned and digested not only the oils that were broken out of the sealer, but also any residue from the mineral spirits.  After an hour or so the driveway was power washed and a light spray of the product was applied to keep on working for the next few days.  After a week the stains had faded but it was still evident that something had gone wrong on the driveway - so the BT200™ treatment was repeated.  It took two more times - a week apart - to get the results that you see here in the second (AFTER) picture.  The driveway is now ready for a proper sealer.

"We now have an extremely happy customer who can't wait to recommend us and our EATOILS™ BT200™ to his friends and neighbours," says Sherry Berg of Cleaner Alternatives.

It always amazes me how some people, when left on their own, can  get into some of the worst situations!  This young fellow didn't ask the right questions in the store - and as a result, he could have caused a very serious problem for the homeowner.  Luckily for this homeowner, he was able to find the right professionals with the right product to virtually reverse the situation at a reasonable cost.

Our EATOILS™ BT200™ is exceptionally good at deep cleaning all types of petroleum oils and greases and it is ideal for cleaning and degreasing driveways, restaurant drive-thrus, garages and parking surfaces. This product is GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN.

Clean and Green Solutions and EATOILS BT200 clean up hydraulic fluid mess in Houston Texas

Clean and Green Solutions, one of our US distributors, was recently called to the Chick-Fil-A restaurant located at West Lake Houston Parkway and FM1960 in Humble, TX to clean up this hydraulic fluid that had leaked from the waste collection truck that services the restaurant. Cleaning up this mess only took 20 minutes and less than 1/2 gallon of EATOILS™ BT200™ Certified Green Degreaser. How?

First they sprayed the stained area with a light mist of water, then they poured EATOILS™ BT200™ full strength on different areas of the stain and scrubbed it in using a street broom just until the solution reached a white lather. That took one man only 20 minutes to do.  Then they walked away and let the BT200™ eat the oil and hydraulic fluid away. The billions of beneficial microbes in BT200™ keep on working for up to 80 hours to remove and digest oil and grease stains from deep in the pores of concrete and asphalt.  

They could have gone back and power washed the area, but within 48 hours there was a rainstorm and the stained area was completely cleaned with nature's own rain - leaving the area free of all hydraulic and oil stains. 

As an added bonus, the BT200™ would have continued to clean any area where the rainwater took it, removing any residual hydrocarbon staining that it encountered along the way.  EATOILS™ BT200™ is used extensively in soil and water in-situ remediation around the world as a safe, cost effective alternative to digging and hauling. This product is GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN.

Materials used: A little water, less than 1/2 gallon of BT200™, (about $22.00 worth). Man Hours used, 20 minutes. Results, total and environmentally safe removal of all oil and fluid stains and - NO DISPOSAL COSTS.

Pro Power Wash and EATOILS BT200 Clean Drive Thru for Chick-Fil-A in Houston, Texas

Pro Power Wash, a sister company of Clean and Green Solutions, one of our US distributors, recently received a contract to keep the parking lot and drive thru areas clean for the Chick-Fil-A restaurant located at West Lake Houston Parkway and FM 1960 in Humble, TX.

Pro Power Wash uses the EATOILS™ BT200™ Certified Green Degreaser to remove all oil stains, food and beverage stains, and tire marks from concrete, asphalt and even soil. Using the BT200™ full strength, Pro Power Wash applies water to the heavily stained areas, followed by BT200™ full strength, scrubbed into the concrete until a white lather appears, and then it is allowed to sit for 60 minutes. The drive thru is then power washed using a concrete scrubber, (3500 psi at 5.6 gpm) and the concrete is returned to - 'like new' condition.

Matt Michaels, Chick-Fil-A operator says, "I have never seen our parking lot and drive thru area this clean. That BT200™ is awesome, you have made me a believer"

MOLD + MILDEW ON OUTDOOR SURFACES

BEFORE  - - - -       Mildew on vinyl  - - - AFTER

How can you get rid of mold and mildew on fences, decks, concrete and stone work, patio furniture, vinyl awnings and gazebos, shelters, etc without using harsh chemicals?  Well, we just happen to have a few good pictures of EATOILS™ BT200™ doing just that!

Over the years we have encountered a number of situations where mold and mildew have attacked surfaces and left a serious discoloration.  As we do not like to use bleaches or other harsh chemicals in anything that we do we have found that EATOILS™ BT200™ is an ideal mold and mildew cleaner and preventer.

Just mix at approx. 10 - 20 oz./gal (100 - 200 ml/L) and spray it on the surface to wet it down.  Wait for about 30 minutes and agitate with a stiff brush (for softer materials use a softer brush) - you'll see the mold and mildew break down and release from the surface. Rinse and repeat.  Older problems will take multiple applications.  The mold & mildew will disappear and the residual product will help to prevent re-infestation.

AFTER mold & mildew on concrete step BEFORE

We have tried this approach on all kinds of surfaces and the product will not harm the surface in any way as there are no harmful chemicals, solvents, or damaging materials whatsoever in the product.  In fact, the product is GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN and safe for the environment.

If you can't get it clean with traditional cleaning products, give us a call - we may have the answer for you.  Call us toll free at 866 621 8244 during office hours (9:00 - 5:00 Eastern Time Monday - Friday) or visit our website at www.eatoils.com

Cleaning Up Auto Rustproofing Residue From Asphalt - The EATOILS Way!

Rustproofing on asphalt BEFORE

This is what can happen when someone gets their car undercoated or rustproofed and the car sits for awhile in front of your home.  This happened to me a short while ago and it certainly didn't look too appealing to walk down the street and see this mess at my front door - I'm certainly glad that my 'friend' didn't park in my driveway and do this to me on my property!  I knew that EATOILS™ BT200™ would clean up the oily mess if it was on concrete, but I wasn't sure that it would work as well on asphalt.  I knew that it would degrade hydrocarbon oils with its 'non-stop cleaning action' - a natural microbial action that deep cleans the worst stains on concrete, asphalt, and even soil - but I wasn't sure how well it would do on rustproofing fluid.  I also knew that if I left it untreated the marks would be there as an embarrassment for me for years to come.  I was very concerned about the look of the area, so I took some of our EATOILS™ BT200™ and sprayed it (in a 5:1 mixture) on the asphalt to see if it would clean up for me.  Once the area was wet with water and the product, I brushed it in with a street broom and let it dry.  After the first application the stain was lighter, but the marks were all still there.  Over the next few days I monitored the product's progress and I watched how the marks continued to fade.  After about 10 days, I noticed that the stains had faded about 30% so I re-applied the product at 5:1 and brushed it in again.  After another week it had faded approximately 70% so I re-applied it on day 20, brushed it in and waited for it to fade the rest of the way.  By the end of the month it was virtually completely gone (see the second picture for the way it looked).

AFTER 1 month (3 treatments)

After seeing this work on rustproofing fluid we have introduced the product to professional rustproofing clients and they are now using the product in their operations for spill control and clean-up.  If you know of anyone who is working with oil products who is dealing with spills this is the one product that they should be using for spill response and clean-up.  EATOILS™ BT200™ is a certified green cleaning and bioremediating product that safely and effectively addresses the problems caused by hydrocarbon spills. This product is GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN.

For further information please call us toll free at 866 621 8244 during office hours 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Monday to Friday (Eastern Time) and we'll be pleased to look after you.  Come to our website at www.eatoils.com for information about this and other products in our EATOILS™ line.

Multizorb™ Picks Up The Spill + Safely Absorbs Liquid Contaminants

Multizorb™ is used for emergency response and spill response in all types of applications.  Multizorb™ absorbs up to 8 times more fluid than competitive products and it contains no silica, making it safe for landfill disposal. 

Due to the 'quick absorbing' nature of the product it is considered an instant absorbent, making it ideal for quick response in industrial and other accidental spills.  "Usually, by the time you turn around to sweep it up it is fully absorbed", says Ron Porter, an emergency response & HAZMAT trainer who works with the product on a daily basis.

As shown in the attached picture, Multizorb™ is used whenever accidents occur. The product contains a special fire retardant material that prevents the fumes from flammable materials from igniting and causing additional problems for emergency response workers.  Multizorb™ is used by emergency response personnel around the country as a safe and effective spill response absorbent.

Multizorb™ is a cost effective alternative to other absorbent products - 6 bags (120 lbs.) will quickly pick up the contents of a 45 imperial gallon (55 US gallon) drum compared to 30 - 40 bags of clay or 'kitty litter' type products (1500 lbs.).  It passes the environmental TCLP test proving that once the fluid is absorbed into the Multizorb™ it won't leach out!

Once the liquid is picked up with Multizorb™, our EATOILS™ BT200™ can be used to clean up the residual stain on the surface (works well on concrete, asphalt and soil) to bring the site back to its original state.  Both of these products provide cost effective yet environmentally friendly alternatives for clients who wish to be sensitive to environmental concerns while keeping an eye on the bottom line.

Using EATOILS™ BT200™ To Remove Oil Stains From Pervious Concrete

One of our customers, Michael Duty of Precision Pressure Washing, in northern Florida, has been using our EATOILS™ BT200™ for removing oil stains from concrete and asphalt for years.  He has found that there is a steady requirement for a contractor who can safely remove unsightly oil stains from all surfaces.  His clients include restaurants, shopping malls, banks, condominium apartments, homeowners, municipalities, waste management companies and companies with hydraulic equipment.  It is not unusual for Michael and his crew to be called out to remove a trail of leaked hydraulic fluid that stretches for over 10 miles through several neighborhoods. 

Recently, when he was working on a job for one of his customers, Michael came across a site where pervious concrete* was used.  This product is primarily used in locations where there are rainwater issues and where rapid drainage is required.  Unfortunately, like most other roadway surfaces, oil  and grease stains can still be a problem.  Using BT200™ is an environmentally friendly approach to eliminating oil and grease even in soil and pervious concrete.  It is used extensively around the world for bio-remediating oil spills and for treating these contaminants in-situ - or where it sits - When you are working with soil or pervious concrete the EATOILS™ BT200™ actually bathes the surfaces of the individual pieces of aggregate and sand and removes the oil residue. Then the microbes in the product attach themselves to the oil and grease and break them down into water, carbon dioxide and oxygen.

An initial spraying and brushing in of EATOILS™ BT200™ followed by a pressure washer rinse will remove all free oil and most of the visible stain.  For the residual shadow a re-spray will fade most away over the next week or so.  In difficult situations where the stain is old or excessively dark, several re-sprays a week or so apart may be required.  The combination of time, EATOILS™ BT200™, warm temperatures and nature's rainwater will usually fade an oil stain from concrete in a few days (or 30-45 days for pavement). This product is GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN.

Without EATOILS™ BT200™ the oil stain will spread and cause environmental damage to the neighboring soil, and it can take many years (usually up to 100 years) for nature to eliminate the contamination.   Hydrocarbons damage the integrity of asphalt or pavement by breaking down the bond between the aggregate and the oil-based binder, resulting in extensive repair costs - if you have paved surfaces that are regularly in contact with oil products you should use EATOILS™ BT200™ as an ongoing part of your maintenance program.

*Pervious Concrete Pavement: An Overview

Pervious concrete pavement is a unique and effective means to address important environmental issues and support green, sustainable growth. By capturing stormwater and allowing it to seep into the ground, porous concrete is instrumental in recharging groundwater, reducing stormwater runoff, and meeting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stormwater regulations. In fact, the use of pervious concrete is among the Best Management Practices (BMPs) recommended by the EPA-- and by other agencies and geotechnical engineers across the country-- for the management of stormwater runoff on a regional and local basis. This pavement technology creates more efficient land use by eliminating the need for retention ponds, swales, and other stormwater management devices. In doing so, pervious concrete has the ability to lower overall project costs on a first-cost basis.

In pervious concrete, carefully controlled amounts of water and cementitious materials are used to create a paste that forms a thick coating around aggregate particles. A pervious concrete mixture contains little or no sand, creating a substantial void content. Using sufficient paste to coat and bind the aggregate particles together creates a system of highly permeable, interconnected voids that drains quickly. Typically, between 15% and 25% voids are achieved in the hardened concrete, and flow rates for water through pervious concrete are typically around 480 in./hr (0.34 cm/s, which is 5 gal/ft²/ min or 200 L/m²/min), although they can be much higher. Both the low mortar content and high porosity also reduce strength compared to conventional concrete mixtures, but sufficient strength for many applications is readily achieved.

While pervious concrete can be used for a surprising number of applications, its primary use is in pavement.  Pervious concrete, has also been referred to as porous concrete, permeable concrete, no-fines concrete, gap-graded concrete, and enhanced-porosity concrete.

Clean Up Mold + Mildew With EATOILS™ BT200™

We Have talked here before about mold and mildew and how to remove it from a variety of surfaces with EATOILS™ products.  Well, here's a testimonial from  a friend of mine who was working on his bathroom - in particular, his bathtub sliding glass doors and he found our BT200™ does wonders on mold & mildew build-up:

"Hi Charles, Jon here, to tell you that BT200™ rocks at cleaning mold and mildew off my tub sliding doors!  As you know, we are re-doing our bathroom after living in the house for ten years.  The bathroom has always had a mold & mildew problem as we all take long showers and the ceiling exhaust fan just doesn't get rid of all the moisture - particularly along the base of the shower doors.  Last week I took off the glass sliding doors to install the new tub surround and the amount of mold and mildew build-up was, according to my wife Debb, disgusting!  I took the door assembly off and soaked everything in a solution of BT200™ (2 oz per gallon) for 30 minutes or so.  When I went back to look at it, the mold and mildew just wiped away - without even brushing!  I was able to clean deep down into the tracks, around the glass seals, and on all the surfaces without any difficulty.  As a result, it looks great again and I plan to put it back into the tub this afternoon.

Another thing I found that you might want to share with your clients is that BT200™ does a great job at removing the glue and caulking from the installation of the new tub surround.  I was able to spray a 10% solution directly on the smudges and they wiped right off!

It also works great on the glue in the kitchen from the new vinyl floor tiles that I installed last week.  It took off all the excess glue in seconds!

I certainly am glad I have your EATOILS™ BT200™ - it saved me a whole lot of trouble on these jobs!"

Well, there you have it - another testimonial from a happy client who discovered the benefits of EATOILS™ BT200™. This product is GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN.

How To Use EATOILS Products With Steam And Vapor Cleaning Systems

There has been a lot of discussion recently about using steam to deep clean grout, tile, and other porous surfaces.  Steam is a highly effective surface cleaner for removing visible grease, however, it doesn't draw out all of the material from deep pores as it's followers and supporters claim - and it can leave a residual grease trail, particularly in high traffic areas.  Lingering odors can also be a problem.

EATOILS™ deep cleaning products actually do remove the organic materials from deep in the pores of all surfaces - and they do a particularly great job at removing deep particles from porous surfaces.  They also remove the sources of odors!

By combining the power of microbial cleaning with 'steam cleaning' or 'vapor cleaning' the results are much more effective.   The microbes and surfactants in EATOILS™ products actually loosen the microscopic food and inorganic particles so the steam or vapor can remove them faster.  They also remove the sources of odors.

We have a number of contractor clients who are hired by large restaurant chains to 'steam clean' their kitchens and bathrooms when they require: 1) a complete overhaul, 2) a refurbishment for a new franchise owner, 3) a dramatic heavy duty clean, or 5) a kitchen or bathroom makeover.  Admittedly, these are the worst conditions for cleaning (usually the build-up is from many years and it is hard to get at all of the areas to clean them).  However, they are ideal for deep steam cleaning.  After years of cleaning these difficult areas our contractor clients have discovered a better way to clean by combining the two cleaning systems.  We have found that these contractors actually insist on using our EATOILS™ heavy duty cleaners together with the steam equipment so they can get the best cleaning result in the shortest time. 

How they do it
Typically, they mix up our cleaner (depending on the job - SUPERFRESH™ for bathrooms, SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™ for kitchens, or BT200™ for industrial greases ) with hot water (usually at 4 oz/gal) and apply it liberally to the surfaces to be cleaned (usually leave 1/4" of fluid on the floor) and allow it to sit for 30 - 45 minutes or so.  Then, they brush the surfaces with a stiff brush to release the heavy greases and build-up.  Then they follow up with the steam or vapor cleaning system.  It actually takes much less time to clean this way and the results are dramatic!  A bright clean room with no residue and no lingering odors! All EATOILS™ products are GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN.
