In the current climate of environmental changes and with the knowledge that harmful chemicals can cause problems for the home and its inhabitants, people continually move closer to “greening” their household cleaning products. In the past, dangerous chemicals, such as chlorine bleach, sodium hydroxide, ammonia, and other strong solutions, have dominated the market for household cleaners. With revolutionary new techniques that combine the latest developments in engineered enzymes with naturally occurring chemical compounds, including lemon juice, borax, vinegar, baking soda, and vegetable-based soap, consumers are now able to keep their houses tidy without threatening the health and safety of their loved ones. In commercial settings, natural cleaning products provide improved health for staff, resulting in fewer sick days; decrease employer liability from the use of harmful chemicals; and can greatly improve relations between businesses and their surrounding communities. Additionally, consumers gain a sense of ecological satisfaction from the purchase of these products, as their manufacture results in less pollution, helping to maintain the balance between man and nature. Enzymes in particular have found their way into a wide variety of cleaning products, including detergents, fabric conditioners, and waste disposal solutions. Drawing on the all-natural cleaning power inherent in such enzymes as proteases, amylases, lipases, cellulases, and others, these products break down stains and waste using bacteria specifically engineered to eat a vast array of oils, fats, and proteins. Over the years, these solutions have proven effective in a range of cleaning applications and show little-to-no adverse effects to the consumer or the environment. Enzymes are also used in wastewater treatment facilities and septic systems to reduce the harmful pollutants from traditional methods of solid and liquid waste management. Correctly used, enzymes can reduce odor, remove starch residues, clear oil and fat stains, and much more.
