Biokleen Bulk Fiber Glow Powder 50 lb Boxes & 4 Pack Cases

Biokleen Bulk Fiber Glow Powder

Product Summary:

Biokleen's Fiber Glow Powder is an excellent, highly concentrated, eco-friendly detergent that was designed to be used as a professional carpet cleaning extraction detergent, but works far more effectively as a pre-spray when mixed at only 8-16 ounces into a 5 quart hydro-force sprayer and metered at 1:9.

Uses:

Use Biokleen's Fiber Glow Powder as a wet cleaning pre-spray and/or extraction detergent for professional cleaning of both carpets and upholstery.

Highly concentrated.
Replaces most of your professional wet cleaning pre-sprays and extraction detergents for cleaning both carpets and upholstery.
Contains Color safe Oxygen Bleach Plus to ensure that surfaces always come out as clean and bright as possible.
Contains non-toxic inhibitors to prevent mildew stains and odors.

Available Bulk Sizes:

50 lb box
4 x 10 lb Jars

Tips:

Using any professional carpet cleaning extraction detergent in your spray/extract solution vs using just plain water makes virtually no difference in cleaning results, hinders the technicians ability to rinse and therefore increases the risk of leaving a residue and wastes product and money. Applying a pre-spray (pre-conditioner), letting it dwell for 10-20 minutes (do not let it dry) and then extracting with plain hot water, is more than 1000% more effective than using an extraction detergent without a pre-conditioner.

Problems Solved:

With Biokleen's Fiber Glow Powder there a multitude of common problems solved for the professional carpet cleaner.

Fiber Glow will not leave a white residue on baseboards or wooden furniture from mild over-spray when diluted properly.
It will not cause wood finishes to run when diluted properly. (Note; there are some finishes that will run from contact with plain water. If you encounter this type of finish, do not allow any detergent or moisture contact with these surfaces and ensure that they do not run/drip onto the carpet where moisture has contacted them.)
Biokleen's Fiber Glow also has a much higher co-efficient of friction than most other presprays, greatly reducing slip and fall accidents by both the customer and technician. This is the #1 liability claim in the carpet cleaning industry.
When used as directed, it absolutely will not leave a sticky residue as it is a powder based formula and will dry to an invisible, brittle, crisp residue that will actually help to encapsulate any remaining soil where it will be vacuum extracted by the customers next vacuuming when used properly.
Fiber Glow will not cause any respiratory issues, long term or short term health hazards when used as directed. This is a very safe product that could add years to your life.
Lastly, Fiber Glow rinses easily, thus reducing labor and time wasted while attempting to rinse stubborn detergent residues from carpets and upholstery. Even if you do leave a little residue behind you don't have to worry as it will dry to a powder and vacuum away.

Note:

Powdered detergents are almost always more effective and concentrated than liquids. Because of this, we generally only carry the powdered versions when available.

Eco Friendly Ingredients:

Soda Ash, zeolites, sodium citrate, vegetable fiber chelators, sodium percarbonate, grapefruit seed and Pulp extract, Orange peel extract, natural corrosion inhibitors, Surfactants, detergents and conditioners from coconut, low ph silicate and sodium sulfate.

Biokleen Manufacturer Info

Why we chose them:

Biokleen states clearly on their website and flyers that none of their products contain phosphate, chlorine, ammonia, petroleum solvents, alcohol, butyl, glycol ether, metasilicate, brighteners, SLS or SLES, EDTA, DEA. No SARA Title III, CA 65, or EPA priority pollutants and NO materials listed by the ACGIH as hazardous.
The Company has won awards for Green Production and utilizes extensive renewable energy to power their operations. Biokleen also claims that their GSE (Grape Seed Extract) is obtained from a very controlled producer and that it is not tainted with toxins.

Pros:

See above.
Biokleen products are a much safer alternative to their mainstream counter parts.
Biokleen products do not use any animal derived ingredients such as animal fats.
Biokleen's vegetable derived surfactant may be Sodium Coceth Sulfate which is generally accepted to be be a safer alternatives to SLS and SLES, which are also derived from Vegetables.
Biokleen agreed to allow us to sell their empty bottles to offset shipping and packaging waste! Yea Biokleen!

Neutral:

In general, Biokleen products are a much better alternative to main stream cleaning products. However, some of the primary ingredients in Biokleen's powders, such as the sodium percarbonate and sodium sulfate although biodegradable, will break down into their base components and leave salts behind. This can negatively impact the environment if released into the wrong area (Notice that nothing grows on the great salt flats). Please dispose of any spills wisely.
Biokleen's primary surfactant seems to be derived at least partially from the synthetic transformation of coconut and or corn products as apposed to saponification which, when done properly, seems to be the most sustainable alternative. We contacted Biokleen about this on 8/13/2010 and were informed that currently the information was proprietary but that they were intending on providing full ingredient disclosures on their website and/or bottle labels within the next year.

Cons:

Zeolites, an ingredient used in most of Biokleen's powder formulas, generally requires mining to extract, which can negatively impact the environment.
Some of their most popular products are sold in highly diluted versions, likely due to consumer demand. This takes an immense and unnecessary toll on the environment due to the transportation of plain water. When possible we stock only the concentrated versions of diluted products, and attempt to acquire empty, labeled bottles from the manufacturer to sell to our consumers so that they may be refilled again and again with the concentrate versions.
