Harnessing Nature’s Power: The Rise of Bio-Based Cleaning

July 24, 2024

Commercial cleaning is essential for maintaining healthy buildings. But what happens when conventional cleaning products leach harmful chemicals into the environment? Research has revealed the impact of decades of exposure, from increasing indoor air pollution to disrupting marine ecosystems. Now a new generation of bio-based cleaning options is answering the call for safer cleaning. We break down the science behind these cutting-edge products, and how they can help create a healthier, more environmentally sustainable future.

What Are Bio-based Cleaning Products?

Bio-based products use organically-derived agents to clean and disinfect, from plant-based oils to bacterial enzymes.

How SparkleTeam Harnesses Bio-based Cleaning

The Power of Enzymes:

Our multifunctional disinfectant cleaners mobilize the power of bio-enzymes, which break down disease- and odor-causing bacteria and viruses. The result removes visible grease, stains, and odors from hard surfaces without corrosive chemicals. These formulas also disinfect and deodorize long after the first application, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.

Cleaning Naturally with Bio-renewables:

Instead of harsh petroleum-based chemicals that leave behind harmful off-gassing and residue, we use a class of bio-renewable cleaners based on naturally derived active ingredients. These powerhouse ingredients include soybean-based solvents, descaling citric acids produced from fermented plant sugars, and powerful surfactants made from corn, coconuts, or palm oil. Formulas also use time-tested ingredients like sodium carbonate, once harvested from the dry lakebeds of ancient Egypt.

Why Bio-based Agents are a Game Changer for Commercial Green Cleaning

Reduced Environmental Footprint:

These biodegradable and naturally-derived formulas have minimal impact on the environment. And unlike petroleum-based chemicals that produce greenhouse gases and toxic byproducts, bio-based cleaning ingredients come from renewable sources.

Reduced Health Risks:

Using bio-based agents reduces exposure to carcinogenic VOCs (volatile organic compounds) and allergen irritants found in conventional cleaning formulas, which can contribute to indoor air pollution and pose health risks.

Effective Versatility:

Bio-based cleaning products have broad applications for different needs, all without compromising effectiveness and environmental sustainability.
