Each April, in addition to sharing the natural approaches to health via nutritional supplementation, I devote additional advocacy to the wellness of this planet.
It’s a germy world we live in. I’m not paranoid about killing germs but when I set out to get ‘em, I want effectiveness without an ounce of harm to the environment. Having an EPA registered germicide is reassuring to me.
What about Bleach??
Bleach is often not EPA registered.
Bleach’s residual effect is no more than an hour.
Bleach’s shelf life varies up to one year, and has pungent, noxious fumes.
One quart of bleach makes 7.5 gallons of cleaning solution.
Mixing with other cleaning compounds creates harmful gases
What does the label on your germicide say? Is your germicide EPA registered?
Our Germicide vs. Bleach*
Our Germicide is indeed EPA registered. It’s residual effectiveness is up to 3 days after application ( tested in undisturbed laboratory conditions using E.Coli, one of the more resistant organisms in fecal material on linoleum tile ) This product is also Kosher certified.
The shelf life is up to 3 years. Its scent is fresh and clean. One quart makes 64 gallons of cleaning solution, it is safe to use with other cleaning products and it’s non corrosive when diluted.

*Prior to the introduction of our germicide, chlorine bleach has been used by pet care professionals to disinfect hard surfaces against canine parvovirus and feline leukemia – now there is an alternative for animal care too
the above is sourced from a field information sheet, not official company materials
*A word about Lysol another common main stream “kill all, besides not being a very good germicide — it’s extremely flammable. A fireman can actually tell where a homeowner has sprayed Lysol by the trail it left after a fire. When demonstrating our germicide we would actually ignite lysol – again very flammable, and put out the fire out with our germicide. Not flammable.
Hmmmmm —- which product would you prefer to use around your children?
