Best Uses:

Use Biokleen's Lemon-Thyme Hand Dish-washing Soap for dish-washing, hand-washing, bubble bath, hair shampoo or pet shampoo, etc.

Cautions:

Do not use product in mechanical dishwashers as it will over foam.
Avoid getting product into eyes.

Eco-Friendly Ingredients:

Surfactants and conditioners from coconut and/or corn, Lemon & Thyme extracts; grapefruit seed and pulp extract, Vitamin E, Aloe, linear sulfonate & filtered water.

Comparison to Moisturizing Hand Dish Washing Liquid:

Lemon Thyme Dish Liquid is virtually the same product as Biokleen's Moisturizing Hand Dish Washing Liquid. The only difference being that Biokleen Lemon Thyme Dish Liquid contains Lemon & Thyme extracts while Biokleen Moisturizing Dish Wash Liquid contains Orange peel extract instead. They both contain Aloe and Vitamin E.
Neither Product contains SLS or SLES and therefore, will not suds like ordinary hand-dish washing detergents. This allows the product to rinse much easier while still being very effective. Do not confuse this lack of suds with lack of concentration as both Biokleen Lemon Thyme and Moisturizing Hand Dish Wash Liquids are very concentrated.

	Absolutely LOVE this product!!
	Been purchasing this product in quarts and began using for just about everything. Use not only for dishes, but also as a hand soap, shampoo, degreaser, even a pet shampoo! Put it in all of our bathrooms, kitchen sink, laundry tub, etc. Even put in small bottles when we travel. I'm not the free and clear type so I love the smell of this. I just decided to buy in bulk to save since I go through so much of this and it's a big money saver. Never had a problem with this store. Love it, love it, love it!

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.
