1. How
can such a small amount of BIO-CLEAN be effective in plumbing?
There are millions and millions of bacteria in each spoonful. Each one will
eat its weight of waste every 60 seconds. They double in number every 30 minutes,
and as they multiply they will spread throughout the entire drain system.
2. Will
it work on a clog?
If the material is biodegradable, yes. However, in most cases, the stoppage
is not caused by a blob of something in the trap. Most likely, it is several
feet of pipe that is filled with "gunk", and it may take several
days for the bacteria to eat through this long blockage. Therefore, it is suggested
that a mechanical cable be used to restore the flow. Then begin BIO-CLEAN treatments
to remove any remaining waste build-up. Regular maintenance treatments will
prevent new build-up.

3. How
long will it take to see the results?
Some people notice improvement in a day or two. Almost everyone will see results
in one to three weeks. Note: The cleaning process is not completed with the
initial five day treatment. The time is determined by the type of material
the buildup is comprised of (grease, soap, hair) and the length of the lines.
Hair takes the longest to digest.
4. Should
the toilet be flushed after pouring BIO-CLEAN into the bowl?
Do not flush for 6-8 hours. The quart of mixture poured into the bowl pushes
one quart of water and mixture out of the bowl into the stack. The enzymes
and bacteria carried out in the quart leaving the bowl are deposited on the
gook coating the pipe. In the following 6-8 hours they embed themselves in
the gunk so that when the toilet is next flushed they will not be flushed out.
5. Aren't
chemical drain openers much stronger than BIO-CLEAN ?
The strongest chemical in the world can't climb the side walls of horizontal
pipes. Gravity makes all chemicals run along the bottom. Nor can chemicals
remove much waste in vertical pipes because they flow through so quickly. The
bacteria in BIO-CLEAN are live and will go anywhere there is food. They will
remove the gunk chemicals leave behind.
6. Does
BIO-CLEAN contain any acid, lye, solvents, perfume or poisonous
substances? No.
7. Will BIO-CLEAN attack
tree roots?
Only roots that are completely dead. Roots enter sewer pipes seeking the rich
organic food supplied by the buildup As roots feed on the waste they grow,
branch out and eventually restrict flow. Periodic use of enough BIO-CLEAN and
water to reach the root area will eliminate the waste they seek. In this manner,
the use of BIO-CLEAN discourages root growth in sewers.

8. Can
BIO-CLEAN really help a septic system?
Absolutely- in several ways. The bacteria in BIO-CLEAN are specially selected
to digest a larger variety of waste, and metabolize it faster than naturally
occurring bacteria or yeast additives. Oils, fats, grease and paper are very
difficult for intestinal bacteria to handle. BIO-CLEAN is very effective on
these materials. It increases solids destruction, so fewer pumpings are needed
and that means money saved.
More complete digestion also means
fewer undigested solids leaving the tank. These solids would
otherwise form a black gooey accumulation in the leach field
and prevent water absorption by the soil. Therefore, BIO-CLEAN
extends the life of a leach field.
9. Are
any chemicals incompatible with septic systems?
Yes. Chlorine, germicidal products, anti-septics, sanitizers, chemical drain
openers, paint, lye, acids, cationic surfactants and food preservatives. And
in general, anything that is inorganic (not biodegradable).
10. Does
a garbage disposal and/or automatic dishwasher affect a septic
system?
Yes-in two ways. Disposals add greater loads. Without frequent BIO-CLEAN treatments,
faster accumulation of solids in the tank occurs. Most automatic dishwashing
compounds, either powder or gel, contain chlorine, which is damaging to all
biological activity. For the least overall problems, don't use the disposal
for material that could go into solid waste or be composted. Use non-chlorinated,
biodegradable dishwashing compound and treat regularly with BIO-CLEAN. A complete
list of recommended products is available from your authorized BIO-CLEAN dealer.
11 Does
BIO-CLEAN stop odors?
Yes, by digesting the waste which is the source of odor.
12. Does
BIO-CLEAN digest hair?
Yes. However, it does take much longer than most any other organic material.
In drains, soap scum, skin oils, etc. bond hair to pipe surfaces. BIO-CLEAN
digests these other materials more quickly, which releases the hair to wash
downstream.
Back to questions
13. How
does BIO-CLEAN compare with liquid biological products?
BIO-CLEAN is more concentrated, more uniform, more stable (longer shelf life)
and more economical. Liquids depend upon preservatives to keep the bacteria
dormant while in the bottle. Most have a high percent of surfactant to emulsify
oils and fats, not digest them. Enzymes in solution interact with each other,
which results in shorter shelf life and/or a single enzyme product.
14. Does
BIO-CLEAN stop odors coming from a cat litter pan?
Definitely. Best results can be obtained by washing and drying pan and then
sprinkling the bottom with BIO-CLEAN before adding new litter and coating the
top with BIO-CLEAN.
15. What
is the shelf life of BIO-CLEAN ?
Several years if kept dry at normal temperature.
16. Environmentally,
does BIO-CLEAN help or hurt?
BIO-CLEAN is a great help and in no way hurts the ecology. The active ingredients
in BIO-CLEAN are enzymes and bacteria which speed up the natural digestion
of organic material. This is the only process that recycles organic waste back
to plant food. BIO-CLEAN is not harmful to pets or marine life. It is so safe
a child can apply it. Because its action is natural, it enhances nature's ability
to cope with man's pollution.
17. What
if I am not satisfied with the results?
BIO-CLEAN comes with 100% money back guarantee. First, make sure all instructions
were followed. Second, allow enough time for the conditions involved. If still
no favorable results, send the details and a telephone number to us.
