A Safer Future Has Arrived

One cleaner for all daily cleaning needs!

Save time and be "environmentally responsible"

ECOgent General Purpose Cleaner is made from 100% biologically derived renewable resources.  It contains no pesticides, preservative, petrochemicals, phosphates, EDTA, NTA, dyes or perfumes.  Animal testing was avoided at all stages of development and proving.  ECOgent General Purpose Cleaner biodegrades under aerobic and anaerobic conditions and is not aquatically toxic and levels likely to enter the environment.  See MSDS for details.

ECOgent General Purpose Cleaner can be used to clean most surfaces with little risk to staff and the general public.  Developed for chemical sensitive individuals and is friendly to children, pets and the environment.

What's so different about ECOgent General Purpose Cleaner?

1. INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Most cleaners contain ingredients that are volatile ........ that is, they evaporate easily into the air.  These "volatile organic compounds" (VOC's) contribute to indoor air pollution.  Indoor air pollution can make some people sick.  Most cleaners also add special perfumes to mask the odors of other ingredients and to make consumers think that the cleaner is really powerful.  People who are sensitive to perfumes can get sick from using perfumed cleaning products.

ECOgent meets and exceeds the most stringent new standards for volatility (see PRC-097 Graph using link).  ECOgent has been certified by the EnvirodesicTM Certification Program as a low-volatile cleaner that will help to achieve Maximum Indoor Air QualityTM.

ECOgent  has no added perfumes and is ideal for buildings with scent-free policies.  ECOgent is the best choice if you care about indoor air quality.

2. HEALTH AND SAFETY

Many people who clean buildings with conventional cleaners have developed occupation asthma, skin irritation and other symptoms.

ECOgent's mild natural formula and low volatility helps eliminate risks to the health and safety of both cleaning staff and building occupants.  ECOgent can be used in the presence of children and of people who are chemically hypersensitive.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

No toxicity, No residue, No problem.

Many conventional cleaners can alter the reproductive systems of aquatic life (endocrine disruption) and some can form even more toxic compounds as they biodegrade in the natural waterways (such compounds are called "recalcitrant metabolites").  Many modern cleaners are not readily biodegradable in the absence of oxygen ("anaerobic"0, such as in the sludge at the bottom of a river.

Certified Envirodesic Environmental Choice

ECOgent's has been tested and proven to be non-hazardous to aquatic life at levels likely to enter the environment.  If any ECOgent does survive municipal treatment systems, its food-based formula biodegrades rapidly in either oxygenated ("aerobic") or non-oxygenated ("anaerobic") conditions in the natural environment.  And when it breaks down it does not generate toxic compounds (no "recalcitrant metabolites").

4. SURFACE COMPATIBLE

Many conventional cleaners are incompatible with certain modern environmental surfaces such as computer housings and bathtub acrylics.

ECOgent has proven to be suitable for use on polystyrene, polycarbonate and Plexiglas.  Recommended for acrylic and polystyrene shower stalls, bathtubs, and whirlpools, ECOgent can be used safely on environmental surfaces not damaged by water.
