Experience With Enzymes

For decades enzyme based products have been an important tool in our cleaning arsenal.  While these products tend to have multiple uses, it is important to use them properly.  Let me give you two recent examples:

I recently visited two school districts of mine and was reminded of how important it is to use our chemical properly.  At the first school, I was going over product usage and performance with the head custodian.  He proceeded to tell me the following.  He said, “The enzyme product we are using to eliminate four odor and deodorizer our bathrooms is incredible effective but it doesn’t appear to be a very good polish for metal fixtures.”  I think you can image the look I had on my face.

The second school I visited, I actually had a brief meeting with the principal.  They were having an issue with odors coming out of the bathroom and it was filling the hallway.  I recommended that they start using one of our enzyme based products to eliminate the odors.  About a week later I received a thank you e-mail from the principal.  He wrote that in the past while giving school tours they always detour the hallway with the smelly bathroom.  Now, it’s the 1st hallway they visit.

Enzyme products can be a powerful tool against odors and bio-based buildup but in order to get the best performance make sure you use them properly.
