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.

EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ Is Great For Cleaning & Deodorizing Restaurant Dumpster Areas

Cleaning and deodorizing dumpster areas around restaurant and food service areas has long been a difficult challenge for restaurant owners and franchise operators.  No matter how often you clean the area, especially in the hotter months like now, the smell of decomposing food is very upsetting and the odor is not good for business.  Typical odor control products have a temporary effect on smell, but within hours the odor is back - with a vengeance!  As a result, many operators actually call in the refuse removal company before the bin is full, just to reduce the odor. 

Now, with the introduction of EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ for cleaning and deodorizing dumpsters and the areas around garbage bins, restaurant owners can take control of those nasty odors and keep their facilities smelling fresh and clean at all times.  This product is GREENER-CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN, contains no harmful ingredients, is safe, biodegradeable, and meets all requirements for safe disposal. 

The photographs here show a dumpster area behind a Chik-Fil-A restaurant in Houston, TX, before and after cleaning and deodorizing with SUPERFRESH™.  There is still some rinse water that hasn't evaporated just in front of the bins, however, you can easily see that the residual food has been cleaned - and the odor has been removed as witnessed by the fact that the client has now signed up the contractor to clean and deodorize the area on a regular basis.

Many restaurant owners now insist that their cleaning contractors use EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ for their garbage bin areas and EATOILS™ BT200™ for their Drive-Thru's and parking areas(to remove oil and grease stains).

Try EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ For Urinal Drip/Odor Control In Washrooms

Many of the products now in use in washroom urinal drip systems are simply strong odor 'cover up' products that frankly, don't work very well.  Typically they combine the addition of a (hopefully, but not always) pleasant scent to the urinal with a low daily cost.  This can give a false feeling of security to the business operator, as they can 'smell' the system working, however, the ongoing cost of using a 'cover up' product to control odors doesn't actually do anything to remove the source of the problem - urine. 

Typical chemical cleaning products used in the washroom don't actually remove urine from between tiles so the smell continues to persist.  As a result, the combination of typical cleaners and urinal drip products can actually cost you more in the long run as you usually add more urinal product than necessary to control odor plus you will have multiple cleanings during the day and added cleaning costs in the washroom.

EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ is a superior GREENER- CHOICE™ APPROVED GREEN CLEANING PRODUCT using natural surfactants to deep clean all surfaces and following up with beneficial microbes that digest residual organic materials from deep down in the pores of all surfaces including tile and grout, effectively removing contaminants with a continuous, ongoing cleaning action.  EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ not only can be used to effectively clean your washrooms as part of your daily cleaning program (using 2 ounces per gallon of warm water in your wash bucket, spray bottle, 'wet swiffer type' mop, or alternative cleaning system), but it can also be diluted(4 - 6 oz/gallon of water) and used in your urinal drip system as well, providing a 'self cleaning', more odor friendly environment for your customers.  In addition, the cost of using EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ in your urinal system this way can actually be substantially less than what you are currently paying.

A recent study in a public school with two identical Girls washrooms with equal traffic and wear and tear, found that the washroom cleaned with EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ was at least twice as effective as the one cleaned with traditional cleaning products - the client needed to clean the washroom with traditional cleaning products two to three times as often as the one cleaned with EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™, consistently, over the two week study.  The EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™ washroom stayed cleaner longer and the actual cleaning job was easier with the EATOILS™ SUPERFRESH™.

Cleaning Ovens is Easier and Safer with EATOILS™ SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™

Another testimonial for our EATOILS™ SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™ - this time from our distributor in Houston, Texas.

This oven was cleaned for a customer using EATOILS™ SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™ Certified Green Degreaser. After many attempts to clean this oven:  1) using store bought products (like "Easy Off" and others that contain dangerous toxins and chemicals), and 2) taking a long time to clean (as the product has to dwell), and then 3) leaving that terrible residual smell when you use the oven again.   The EATOILS™ SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™ cleaned this oven in ONLY 15 minutes.  It even performed better than using the self cleaning option - a) as the oven did not have to heat up to almost 700 degrees to bake the caked on and burnt food, b) wasting valuable electricity, c) plus the time factor - it takes 6-8 hours to perform the self cleaning cycle and d) the heat it generates in the house.

Here is how he did it. He mixed the EATOILS™ SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™ at 6 ounces to a gallon of water and then thoroughly sprayed the inside of the oven and the oven racks. He then let it sit for 15 minutes and wiped the inside of the oven with PAPER TOWELS. There were two spots that the oven had some really baked on grease, to the point that it was crusty, and he simply sprayed a soft scour pad sponge with the SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™, lightly scrubbed the spots, and the residue & stains came up easily.
The SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™ also cleaned all the splatters off the oven window and door. The oven looked brand new when we were done.

The EATOILS™ SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™ is the only cleaner you need for tough cleaning jobs like ovens, barb-b-cue pits & grills, pot's & pans, and other items that can get a buildup of baked on grease and grime on them.

The best part is the price. A quart of EATOILS™ SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™ solution (diluted at 6 ounces to a gallon of water - 1.5 oz/qt.) costs the consumer less than .80 cents for this job (based on the cost of 1.11 qt. = 18.00USD). Compare that to store bought cleaners that run $4.00-$6.00 or more. Plus the EATOILS™ SUPER FLOOR DEGREASER™  is totally safe to use, contains zero harmful ingredients, and takes a lot less time. 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
