Bionetix® International is excited to release ECO-CLEAN-ALL TABS™, a biodetergent concentrate in tablet form! This new product makes “green” cleaning and odor control possible with a product that reduces plastic waste and is more economical to ship and store.

Probiotic Cleaning Tablets

ECO-CLEAN-ALL TABS™ dissolve in water to create a liquid biological cleaning solution specifically designed to eliminate organic soils from a wide variety of surfaces including carpet, tile, flooring, fabric, and upholstery. This powerful combination of biodegradable surfactants and probiotics digests grease, oil, protein, fat, starch, and other solid organic wastes to maintain a clean, odor-free facility. Probiotics in ECO-CLEAN-ALL TABS™ keep working to ensure that cleaning and odor removal continue long after the initial product application. New Probiotic Cleaner from Bionetix® International Reduces Plastic Waste!


Reducing Plastic and Energy Consumption

By designing a probiotic cleaner in tablet form, Bionetix® has significantly reduced the amount of plastic needed to package a biological concentrate or ready-to-use (RTU) cleaner. For example, hundreds of plastic bottles would be required to transport and store the same amount of RTU cleaner that can be reconstituted from a 10 kg pail of ECO-CLEAN-ALL TABS™. In contrast, users of ECO-CLEAN-ALL TABS™ can add one tablet at a time to 500 mL of tap water in a reusable spray bottle. In addition to reducing plastic, this saves on storage space and reduces energy consumption for shipping and handling.

Residual Cleaning Power

Cleaning solutions made from ECO-CLEAN-ALL TABS™ can be sprayed onto both hard surfaces and fabrics and used like standard industrial and institutional cleaners. An added feature is that microorganisms in ECOCLEAN-ALL TABS™ offer ongoing cleaning and odor control power by helping digest organic residues on soiled surfaces. These probiotics continue to work even after discharge to the sewer, thus helping remove malodors in pipes and septic tanks.

ECO-CLEAN-ALL TABS™ are available in a variety of fragrances and colors for a wide range of uses. Contact Bionetix® to learn more: https://www.bionetix-international.com/contact-us/

NEWS ALERT: Remove Stains Easily with ECO STAIN-OFF™ Natural Stain Remover

As small as they sometimes are, stains are a nuisance and source of anxiety and embarrassment. They raise questions such as, “Will my new carpet ever be the same after the kids spilled chocolate milk on it?” or “What can I do if spaghetti sauce splatters all over my white shirt at an important business dinner?” Fortunately, Bionetix® International’s new ECO STAIN-OFF™ is here to make life easier for you by being tough on stains.

ECO STAIN-OFF™ is a biological-based stain remover that works on a variety of fabrics, textiles, and hard surfaces. It contains naturally-derived free enzymes and probiotics that attack and digest stains. It is especially effective on enzymatic stains such as blood, grass, milk, chocolate, and chocolate milk. It is also great for cleaning other soils and stains such as wine, food, dirt, greases, oils, and tomato sauces.

ECO STAIN-OFF™ is easy to use and safe on skin. Simply spray the soiled material with ECO STAIN-OFF™ and leave it to sit for a while, allowing the enzymes to work. Then rinse out by hand or wash as normal in a washing machine.

ECO STAIN-OFF™ was tested on seven different types of stains. In each case, ECO STAIN-OFF™ made a noticeable improvement in the cleanliness of the pre-stained swatches compared to those that remained untreated and unwashed. In many cases, it was difficult to even detect that the fabrics treated with ECO STAIN-OFF™ had even been stained.

In a world filled with mistakes and accidents, there are plenty of times ECO STAIN-OFF™ is needed. It can be used as both a surface stain cleaner and as a laundry pre-soak for tough stains. It is an excellent option for both home and professional laundering, custodial services, and as a pocket stain cleaner for spills or accidents away from home (e.g., at restaurants or while travelling).

NEWS ALERT: Bionetix® Sees Clear Shift Toward Probiotic Cleaners at ISSA Amsterdam

Bionetix® International’s visit to ISSA Amsterdam, May 10th-13th, was a great window into the world of cleaning technology trends. The team of six from the U.S., Canada, Italy, and Croatia saw an obvious shift toward more environmentally friendly cleaners, with a strong interest in the probiotics that Bionetix® sells. Drawing on a combined stock of six languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, and Croatian), the Bionetix® team was able to make many positive connections with international guests. Overall, it was a great opportunity to build relationships with current distributors and key clients.


Many attendees wanted to learn more about how Bionetix
® probiotic technologies work alone and in conjunction with traditional cleaning products. There was a special interest in HYGIEA™ and ABC Series concentrates by manufacturers and formulators looking to add biological cleaning mechanisms (bacteria and enzymes) to their products for synergy and improved sustainability. Other areas of interest were wastewater treatment, bioremediation, odor control, private labeling, food industry products, institutional cleanup, and more.

ISSA Amsterdam was also a great time to meet potential new suppliers with improved raw materials and production equipment possibilities. Furthermore, the team gained exposure to new field research that broadened its own understanding of the technology and will help to inform future business activities.

Thanks to all who stopped by the Bionetix® booth. It will be exciting to see how the industry develops as Bionetix® works to meet the needs of this intriguing shift in the cleaning paradigm!

NEWS ALERT: A One Trillion Bacteria Boost for Inefficient Septic Systems

Septic tanks are great inventions for homes or commercial institutions that do not have the convenience of a municipal sewer system. However, sometimes they need an extra boost to support the naturally occurring microbial colony that powers operations. BIOBOOSTER 1T™ is a great way to add one trillion beneficial bacteria to improve the efficiency of the system, especially when threatened by the introduction of toxic chemicals.

Harnessing the Natural Decomposition Process
The whole concept of a septic system is based on natural biodegradation processes. Different types of waste in the septic tank separate into different layers—sludge, liquid effluent, and floating scum or organic material—as they biodegrade. Naturally occurring microbes help break down the papers, oils, greases, and other contaminants in the waste, converting them into clear liquid effluent that then enters the septic system’s absorption area and gradually returns to nature.


Microbial Population Setbacks
Unfortunately, the all-important microbial workforce responsible for waste digestion faces setbacks and sometimes even extermination when bleaches or root killers are used for other septic system problems. Even the daily disposal of household cleaning products or laundry soaps can challenge the health of the microbes. When too many good bacteria die off, the waste digestion process becomes less efficient and more sludge can build up, leading to more frequent pumping and unpleasant odors coming out of the septic tank and pipes.

Replenishing the Bacterial Population
When this is the case, BIOBOOSTER 1T™ is an excellent treatment for replenishing the bacterial population in a septic tank. Each tablet of BIOBOOSTER 1T™ adds one trillion beneficial bacteria to the septic system. These bacteria and bacterial enzyme strains are effective at biodegrading organic material comprised of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. As a result, BIOBOOSTER 1T™ can help reduce sludge and septic tank pumping frequency, reduce bad odors and methane, and improve pipe purification and drain seeping. The same benefits are also available when BIOBOOSTER 1T™ is used as a monthly maintenance dose. BIOBOOSTER 1T™ is also a good option to populate (start up) the system after scheduled cleaning/pumping.

A Simple but Powerful Solution
BIOBOOSTER 1T™ is a simple but powerful solution for replenishing compromised septic systems after chemical shock and continuing a healthy maintenance routine going forward. Contact Bionetix® to learn more about BIOBOOSTER 1T™ and other septic maintenance treatments:

Get Ready to Put Bio-Enzyme Cleaners into Action!

April 27, 2022

What if you could use the power of nature to clean your driveways, carpets, laundry, and bathroom floors? You can with Bionetix® bio-enzyme cleaners, a “green” cleaning technology that uses the synergistic power of microorganisms, bio-enzymes, and biodegradable surfactants to clean away waste materials, stains, and odors. Here is a closer look at how they work and can benefit you.

The Power of Bio-Enzyme Cleaners
A defining characteristic of bio-enzyme cleaners is the biological activity of “good” bacteria and the enzymes they produce. Microorganisms are part of nature’s biodegradation cycle. In order to supply themselves with food and nutrients to support their basic metabolic functions, microorganisms produce enzymes that help them digest and consume wastes from the surrounding environment. This same natural mechanism adds power to the cleaning process. By incorporating nonpathogenic “good” bacteria and free enzymes into cleaning products, formulators can direct this natural digestive mechanism against wastes and stains. The action, in turn, helps with odor control by removing the source of the odor. Residual microorganisms left on the surfaces continue to penetrate and digest contaminants even after the initial cleaning.

Where Can Bio-Enzyme Cleaners Be Used?

Bio-enzyme formulations can be added to a variety of cleaning products:

  • Surface cleaners
  • All-purpose cleaners
  • Laundry detergents
  • Vehicle washing fluids

Specific end uses include cleaning oil stains off concrete driveways, removing soap scum from bathroom tile, cleaning heavily stained industrial laundry, and solving odor problems on carpets and upholstery. Bio-enzyme cleaners can even be sprayed nightly into kitchen and bathroom sinks to keep drainpipes clean and clear of residual wastes and foul odors.

Bionetix® Bio-Enzymes in Many Forms
Bionetix® bio-enzymatic cleaners come in many forms to make this technology adaptable to your needs. The most straightforward options are ready-to-use (RTU) products such as ECOCLEAN-ALL™ (multipurpose cleaning of hard surfaces, fabric, and drains), ECO-WASH™ (bioenzyme cleaner for washing vehicles), and EN-Z-CLEAN™ (bio-enzymatic laundry detergent). HYGIEA™ concentrates are another option for distributors who prefer to dilute and make their own ready-to-use products. Finally, the ABC Series is ideal for formulators who want to blend a concentrated “good” bacteria base into existing cleaning products to boost the cleaning power of their own formulations.

Whatever your role as formulator, distributor, or end user, there is a bio-enzyme cleaner for you! Contact us today to try these “greener” cleaners for yourself and get ready to put the power of bio-enzymes into action: https://www.bionetix-international.com/contact-us/

How to Choose the Right Bionetix® Rx for a Cleaner, Healthier Environment

Deciding to use biological technologies to clean up is a great first step in choosing a “greener” path to waste treatment and environmental or institutional cleanup. However, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. A tailored approach is the best path to success because it tackles contaminants more directly and efficiently to make the most of your treatment efforts. The following questions will help you choose the right prescription for your application.

Question 1: What Industry Do You Work In?
Bionetix® biotechnologies are versatile enough to cover a broad range of industries:

  • Waste Treatment
  • Industrial & Institutional Clean Solutions
  • Agricultural Treatments
  • Animal Feed
  • And more!

Each industry has its own common waste and cleanup problems with a range of specialized biological treatments already in place from which to choose.

Question 2: What Is the Main Problem?
Is your grease trap overflowing? Are your drains clogged? Is your wastewater system out of balance? Are you looking for odor control solutions? Identifying the main problem will help your Bionetix® representative understand the situation and narrow down the type of treatment and product format needed.

Question 3: What Kind of Contaminants Are You Dealing with?
This question is especially important because of the nature of bioaugmentation, which involves adding “good” bacteria to speed up the decomposition of wastes in the target application. Some bacteria are better at producing enzymes that digest oils and greases, and others are better at digesting starches or specific chemicals. For example, if you are dealing with industrial waste from a chemical company, you may want to choose a product like BCP11™ that is suited to target chemical waste. If you are treating manure, you will probably want BCP80™. When cleaning hard surfaces, BCL5000™ is the best choice for cleaning up hydrocarbons, while ECOCLEAN-ALL™ is better for organic fats, oils, and greases. Many more product offerings exist correlated to specific types of industrial contaminants.

Question 4: Do You Want a Ready-to-Use (RTU) Product or a Concentrate?
In many situations, it is easier for distributors and end users to simply order Bionetix® biologicals in final RTU form. However, if you are a product formulator or have other shipping or application parameters to take into consideration, a concentrate could be the best option. Choosing the right Bionetix® prescription is an important decision to make, and we are here to help.

NEWS ALERT: Safety and QA Training Boost Bionetix® Proficiency and Quality

April 13, 2022

The focus at Bionetix® is on cleaning up the environment safely and naturally. As an extension of that, we want what’s best for our customers and employees, too. For this purpose, we take time now and then to check in with each other as a team and discuss what we can do to improve our processes for better quality and safety.

During one brainstorming session, our team found ways to improve production speed and also reduce the risk of quality issues on final products made from high viscosity raw materials that are difficult to pump out of their containers. By working together to figure out a solution, the team discovered that the use of specially designed
heating blankets would speed up production while also improving employee safety and the quality of final blends.

Another time, the team discussed the challenges of working with raw material powders in large quantities. As part of a Q&A session, the group evaluated which types of masks are needed to block fine particles of raw materials, which, although good for the environment, still need to be handled responsibly by those who work with them all the time.

Most recently, Bionetix® managers met with the head office to review processes related to shipping and handling, QA testing, and product mixing and blending. This training and consultation session helped us put sound steps in place to move forward in our goals of continual improvement to achieve the highest level of quality and customer satisfaction as we work together for a healthier environment for the benefit of us all!
