Keywords:

Bioremediant cleaning products are investigated for every day use by consumers in their homes. Nano-components such as biosurfactants, enzymes, metaloenzymes, and chelating agents are derived from Sea Kelp and are the result of naturally occurring phenomenon and there is no man made chemical. In a recent third party comparison test conducted by Applied Consumer Services Inc, the all-purpose cleaner out preformed Fantastic by a small margin. This is a very exiting result as organic cleaners rarely produce results that are on par with brand name cleaning products. The tests indicate that bio-inspired solutions offer a viable alternative to hazardous chemicals used in household cleaning products.
