Benefits of Biodegradable Cleaners
December 30, 2021
Many consumers don’t realize that conventional cleaning products use dangerous ingredients that are detrimental to our planet. Recently, the demand for more eco-friendly options is becoming a more popular solution. Good biodegradable cleaners offer the same powerful results, without sacrificing the environment. Although most industrial cleaning products available in the market today still contain harmful ingredients, Bitu-Ox™ offers products that are both potent and environmentally safe to use. Below, we discuss some of the reasons why biodegradable products are better than conventional cleaning chemicals.
Better For the Environment
Biodegradable products break down and become a part of the environment without pollutants, achieving a better air and water quality which cannot be attained using conventional cleaning products. Conventional cleaning products pose a significant threat to the ecosystem even after being washed down the drain. The toxic chemicals present in these products are responsible for most of the world’s water, air, land, and soil contamination.
Safer to Use
Products for cleaning tar, rust, paint, and grease contain toxic and potent chemicals such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia, methyl chloride, and more. Exposure to these harmful substances and their fumes can be harmful to people. When handling standard cleaning products, one must take extra precautions to avoid having direct contact with them. For example, while using these products to clean industrial surfaces, cleaners must wear protective gear, so the chemicals don’t touch their skin. Biodegradable cleaning products contain safer alternatives to these harmful chemicals by using gentler ingredients.
More Cost-Effective
Biodegradable products have competitive prices, but conventional industrial-grade chemicals are more expensive in the long run. The chemicals used to make these products are harmful and abrasive and can potentially end up costing your company a substantial amount of money, by damaging your equipment over time. Biodegradable products are less destructive and offer cost-saving opportunities, reducing the potential costs of repairs and replacements of damaged machines and tools.
