Cleaning: Institutional & Industry, Home, and Business
Biobased USA possesses a wide array of formulations, which are suitable for the varied and widely diverse applications of the Jan/San market. Originally formulated as a general heavy duty cleaner, the concept behind its development was to produce a non-toxic, biodegradable replacement for the conventional, and potentially dangerous hydrocarbon based cleaning agents in use today for commercial, industrial, governmental and household application. As Jan/San requirements became more specialized and sophisticated, Biobased USA evolved so that today, for example, the company has seven formulas for glass cleaners alone, which were created to handle the specific requirements of its customers.
The unique ability to cut through and emulsify hydrocarbons (wax, oil, grease, fat) and remove stains, make Biobased USA an indispensable one-stop cleaner for everything from schools, office buildings, government facilities and factories to restaurants and hotels. Its antimicrobial properties also make it an excellent disinfectant and sanitizer for hospitals and food processing plants. Biobased USA can not only clean as well, or better, than any other product on the market, but it is much more economical and, even more important, can result in a savings in labor of 50% or more.. As an example, school custodians report that after applying it as a floor stripper, there is no need to rinse the floor afterwards to remove chemical residues, thereby cutting the time factor by more than half. In a recent demonstration this summer in Canada, a floor which normally took from 90 to 120 minutes to strip was completed in under 30 minutes.
The movement away from toxic to "environmentally preferable cleaning products" is spreading rapidly to include an ever increasing number of schools, state agencies and facilities. In New York, cleaning schools with 'green products' becomes mandatory commencing with the September 2006 school year. Other states that are adopting similar legislation are Massachusetts (the law comes up for approval by the legislature in December 2005), Vermont, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
In part, this reflects the realization and acknowledgement that MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity), which often develops into allergic reactions, may be responsible for many of the behavioral problems of children in schools. Once organic cleaning products have been substituted, it was found that many of these problems disappear.
The passage of the 2002 Farm Bill requires that all federal agencies give preference to biobased products in 140 categories, starting about December of 2005. All categories should be covered by this requirement around June of 2008.
Here are some of the areas in which Biobased USA can be used to replace hydrocarbon based chemicals:
The goal of Biobased USA is to produce a product that is the equivalent or superior to the current available hydrocarbon based toxic chemicals, that have formed the mainstay of the Jan/San business. Not only can you now rely upon an environmentally healthy product to employ for all your cleaning needs, you can do so knowing it will very often do a better job than what you are presently using, and will, in addition, cost you substantially less to purchase. If we add in the factor of savings in labor, which will most likely be of much greater importance than savings in product cost, it is easy to understand why the "Era of Green" is about to burst upon the scene.
