WHEN EATOILS™ WON'T DO:

1) To remove calcium, lime and rust stains - you need an acidic cleaner - the green answer is lemon juice - it has a pH of 2.0 yet it is safe for you to handle - and breathe - no noxious fumes! It is great in the kettle to remove scale - just add a 1/4 cup to the kettle with a cup of water and boil - the scale will be gone in less than a minute!  If you need a scrubber for, say, cleaning the tub or toilet - cut a lemon in half and use it as your SCRUBBER! - need extra abrasion? dip it in some baking soda, then scrub.

2) For deep cleansing, use a mixture of baking soda and lemon juice - the baking soda is abrasive and will remove baked on matter from pots, clean the kitchen sink, etc.

3) To sanitize, the objective is to kill germs.  In order to kill germs you need either a highly acid (pH of 2.0 or less) or a highly caustic (pH of 12 or more) solution.  Typical safe examples are ACID: Vinegar, citric acid, etc. and for CAUSTIC: Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, 5% chlorine bleach.  The biggest need for a sanitizer is to clean food prep surfaces and toilets etc.

Aside from the areas listed above there may be rare occasions where you need a special product for a special need.  Some of those we can help you with.

We have products to help with graffiti, or paint accidents on virtually any surface.

If you get ink on a shirt or clothing try isopropyl alcohol (available at the drug store) - it is one of the secret cleaning products which works wonders on fabrics of all kinds.

EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ Removes Even The Worst Black Mold Found In Florida

BEFORE   Brown Mold On Awning - Mobile, AL  AFTER  

Enclosed areas where moisture can build up can be a breeding ground for mold and mildew.  Particularly in locations where wood and wallboard are exposed, like: 1) under rafters, 2) in damp basement areas, 3) in bathrooms, 4) below open buildings and 5) in attics.

Mold & Mildew can be harmful to you and your family as the spores can cause allergic reactions and illness.  There are two problems that you need to deal with when you are trying to address mold and mildew: 1) removing the infestation effectively (mold and spores), and 2) preventing it from recurring. 

REMOVAL: -  In the past, most mold removal companies literally had to remove the offensive building materials, address the source of the moisture and rebuild the structure - a very expensive proposition.  If the infestation was small it could be treated with bleach or disinfectant products, however, the problems with bleach & disinfectants can be just as dangerous as the infestation - affecting breathing and damaging the building materials - plus the effects of these products are only momentary and there is no lasting effect.  Recent developments in microbial cleaning products have yielded effective long term results with the added bonus of prevention of recurrence (when the source of the moisture is repaired).  These products remove the infestation and, virtually stand guard, defending the area from re infestation from the spores.

PREVENTION: - Once you remove the source of the moisture you have effectively prevented the mold from recurring however, particularly in areas where there is no resolution to the moisture issue (enclosed bathrooms) the mold will return the next time it is moist.  Microbial cleaning products are particularly effective in these instances as they can protect the area from some of the recurrence and regular, weekly cleaning with the product can actually prevent it completely.

Many mold abatement contractors have discovered the advantages of using microbial cleaning products to treat these mold problems effectively.  Over the past few years WorldWare Enterprises Ltd. of Cambridge, Ontario, Canada has developed a number of green microbial products that work well on mold and mildew.  Depending on the actual mold encountered, we have products that will effectively remove and prevent the recurrence of these infestations for years to come.

The success stories for treating northern grey/black mold and southern brown mold have been impressive as infestations have been stopped and reversed with  as little as one application.  We have written here before about the results for removing brown mold from awnings in Mobile, AL (see picture above, showing before and after) - update: it was over 1-1/2 years ago that the vinyl awning was treated and, as of last week, there is still no recurrence on the awnings (in the same time period neighbors with the same type of awnings have had their awnings treated with harsh chemicals at least 5 times and the mold keeps coming back!).

For some time now the most difficult mold type to resolve has been the black mold that is common in many parts of Florida.  It is a very resistant mold that is very hard to remove with  any success.  Recent trials and actual case studies have proven that EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ is very effective at removing and preventing the recurrence of this black mold in Florida.  For example, our client, William Booth of Tallahassee, FL was having a problem with mold on his exposed wood on the underside of his home.  The smell and spores were affecting his family and he had to do something fast!  He called our technical service personnel and was advised that we had experienced some success with our EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ for this type of application (this product is very good at treating the mold and mildew typically found in damp bathrooms).  He purchased a pail of our EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ and he set to work on his home - he mixed it as described in the instructions and then he applied it to the exposed wood - and within minutes he noticed a big reduction in the mold.  After a second application it was all gone and there has been no recurrence since he treated the wood in April.  We spoke last week and he confirmed that he is very happy with the results - another fine job by EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™. This product is GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN.

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

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.
