Enzyme based cleaners - Environmentally friendly cleaning products

We're taking a break for the holidays! We'll be closed from midday Friday, 20th December, and back on deck from 6th January. If you need anything urgently during this time, don't worry—we'll be keeping an eye on emails and orders. Feel free to reach out! 

Enzyme based cleaners - Environmentally friendly cleaning products

Environmentally friendly cleaning products NZ families can trust for a deep safe clean

Bio-enzymatic cleaners are a surface cleaner with the cleaning and deodorizing power of bacteria. BIO-ZYME" is a user-friendly, non-toxic, non-allergenic, biodegradable, environmentally friendly, deodorising agent, degreaser and deep cleaner.

A safer and healthier alternative to toxic cleaners, solvents, caustics and bleaches, enzymatic cleaners are a fantastic all-purpose cleaner to eliminate smells, stains and grime.

Enzymatic cleaners can break down both stains and odours, really getting rid of smells rather than simply covering them.

Confusion gone, cupboard clear. You now need just one cleaner for all those jobs .....

Bio-enzymatic cleaners are great in a variety of applications. They can be used as general surface cleaners, bathroom cleaners, carpet spot cleaners, odour eliminators, and more. Bio-enzymatic cleaners are especially good for use in toilets or for ‘pet problems’ because they can eliminate smells from urine and can easily penetrate grouted surfaces to clean there.

What are enzymatic cleaners and how do they work?

Bio-enzymatic cleaners are cleaning products that use non-pathogenic, “good” bacteria to digest wastes, soils, stains and stinks. Enzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. They work by changing the molecular structure of the host environment, digesting contaminants and speeding up the natural biodegrading process.

Bio-enzymatic cleaners contain various enzymes to break down different types of filth.

Essentially, different enzymes break down different types of stains: lipolases work on fats or oil-based stains, proteases break down protein-based stains, and amylases tackle carbohydrates and starches.

Breaking it down even more

The bacteria in the cleaners produce enzymes specifically designed to break down certain waste and dirt molecules into smaller pieces. These smaller pieces become food for the bacteria and get broken down into two basic compounds: carbon dioxide and water. The bacteria grow in number and continue to consume the soils until their food supply diminishes - the grime is gone - and then they can be washed away during the next cleaning or continue to work against new smells, stains and dirt.

The enzymes in these cleaners are not living things, so they cannot grow or reproduce on their own. They are like tools created by the bacteria to help break down large molecules.

Benefits of using BIO-ZYME cleaners:

  • They are safer and easier on the environment and human health compared to other chemical cleaners.
  • The micro-organisms (bacteria) can penetrate cracks, grouts and crevices to remove dirt, grime and smells that traditional chemicals often cannot get to.
  • The bacteria and enzymes are left as residuals and can keep working for up to 80 hours after application, ensuring a thorough clean.
  • By competing for food sources, the non-pathogenic “good” bacteria in BIO-ZYME can help displace disease-causing bacteria,keeping people safe.

BIO-ZYME is a unique blend of naturally occurring enzymes, polysaccharides, electrolytes and chelated metals, and is at the forefront of modern biotechnology.

  • Can be used very effectively through a foaming dispenser for greater coverage
  • Dilution rate: 30ml per litre of water = 33 litres of ready to use product / 40ml per litre of water = 25 litres of ready to use product
