Germicide Halts The Spread Of MRSA

Each April, in addition to sharing the natural approaches to health via nutritional supplementation, I devote additional advocacy to the wellness of this planet.

I recently read a powerful testimony about the infection MRSA and our germicide.

The testimony was written by a nurse who represents a company who cares for the mentally challenged in group homes.

MRSA (methicillin resistant staphlococcus aureus) was rampant in several of the group homes.

This nurse implemented an alternative cleaning protocol that halted the spread of MRSA.

Let me repeat that – HALTED the spread of MRSA.

At the homes that didn’t follow the protocol another outbreak occurred.

Astounding.

She said, “The important thing we learned from all of this is that an ounce of prevention goes a long way.

That ounce of prevention was our germicide diluted, placed in spray bottles, and used everywhere.

One of the additional testimonies she shared was that folks with MRSA are often instructed to take baths with BLEACH.

Can you imagine bathing in bleach?

Blow Torch Not Needed To Kill Germs

Is your germicide flammable? Should it be?

When I first discovered green cleaning and started to share it with other folks we used Lysol from the aerosol can as part of our demonstrations.

Spray a bit of Lysol near a lit match and whoooosh it lights right up!

Spray our epa registered germicide and it will put out the fire started by the Lysol!

When I first saw this demonstrated the woman said, imagine where people spray this stuff?

Like everywhere.

Imagine the nursery. The play room.

She further shared how fireman can visually see the flammable trail Lysol leaves behind. Especially in children’s rooms.    Imagine wallpaper post a fire with a trail left from Lysol’s flammability  ( is that word?  flammabilty?  It is now!)

The thought of the reality of that horrified me.

I tested their spray on product versus the aerosol can and it too was flammable.

I have to say that it’s beyond me with all the issues we have regarding the environment and all,  how is it that aerosol cans are even being manufactured these days.

I mean at this stage of the game why?

Lysol to me has always smelled medicinal.  I never appreciated that.  Never wanted my home to smell like Lysol.  EVER.

Plus how effective is Lysol anyway??

Everything a germicide needs to do can be found in our germicide product without the blow torch.

Among these are Pseudomonas aeruginosa (associated w/ pneumonia), Staphylococcus aureus ( nursery infections), Salmonella Choleraesius ( gastro entritis) , and Trichophyton interdigitale ( foot fungus ).

This product is virucidal against Herpes Simplex (a member of the virus family that causes infectious mononucleosis), Vaccinia ( representative of the pox virus ) and influenza A2 as represented by the strains commonly called Hong Kong Flu and London Flu virus

The broad spectrum of disinfectant effectiveness is shown by its germicidal action against the following organisms:

Escherichia coli

Salmonella schottmuellen

Klesbiella pneumoniae

Brevibacterium ammoniagenes

Aerobactoe aerogenes ( enterobacter )

Streptococcus faecalis

Shigella dysentariae

Our Germicide vs. Bleach*

This Germicide is 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.

It’s shelf life is up to 3 years. It’s 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.

Note the astounding cost savings and the remarkable concentration:

Toilet Bowl Cleaners:

Lysol .41
Clorox .49
Seventh Generation .69
Our Germicide .26

per use price
varied 4 – 6 oz per toilet, ours used 1 TBLS
4, 6, 8 per container – ours 64 uses

Disinfectants:
Lysol 44.69
Clorox 13.96
Seventh Generation 21.96
Our Germicide .27

cost per gallon comparison
usage is straight – ours is concentrate uses 3/8 of a tsp per 6 oz of water
theirs makes 1/4 -1/10 of a gallon – ours makes 64 gallons

More Green Clean Cost Comparisons

Bleach is often not EPA registered. It’s residual effect is no more than an hour. It’s shelf life varies up to one year, and has pungent, noxious fumes.  One quart makes 7.5 gallons of cleaning solution.  Mixing with other cleaning compounds creates harmful gases

*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

*A word about Lysol, 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?

This product also comes in a handy dandy wipes also.

Never Clean Soap Scum Again!

In the days of yore when I used chemical bathroom cleaners, typical soaps and shampoo’s from the grocery store, I constantly battled with ring around the bathtub, slimy tile walls and an absolutely discusting shower curtain.

How about you ?

While I felt it was a never ending battle, I also struggled with how ill I felt after I cleaned because of noxious fumes from the typical cleaning products I was using, and how positively itchy I felt after using petroleum derived skin care.

I seriously itched a good portion of my life.

Being able to clean green of course altered the chemical portion of that completely.

Three non-toxic, biodegradable products

A germicide

An all purpose cleaning product

and a scouring paste.

The most remarkable detail of using the above powerful green trio is that I could spray, scour, sanitize and mix all of these things together, without fear of a chemical melt down.

We all know that combining bleach and ammonia and other regular cleaning products is very very dangerous.

Mixing bleach and ammonia releases a gas so deadly it was once used as a chemical warfare agent. It can overwhelm a victim in less than a minute.

Yikes!!

After I was introduced to green cleaning products I was then introduced to a non-soap bar,for everyday bathing.

A positively delicious oatmeal, vitamin e, wheat germ oil product that was such a shift from the squeaky clean Ivory soap I grew up with, or the Irish spring soap my husband seemed to enjoy ( gosh I hated the smell of that stuff)

I could hardly believe the difference this product made in my life.

My new non-soap bar was lovely smelling, ph balanced, and non-stripping to the skin. It actually protects the skins acid mantle versus destroying it.  I had horrific dry skin from using every day skin care products that were harsh, not ph balanced and derived from tallow ( animal fat ) and lye (the same thing that oven cleaners are made up of ).

I have introduced hundreds of people to this non-soap bar and they love it as much as I.

Here’s the deal

Soap products make soap scum – no other way to say it, soap leaves a horrific trail.

Use soap products you will have soap scum.

Use non-soap products – bar, body wash, moisturizers, shampoo’s and conditioners derived from plants and guess what?

No more soap scum. Not to mention no more dry skin.

No soap scum and you virtually have a self cleaning bathtub.

I have not had a bathtub ring since 1993!

Come over anytime and look in my bathtu

It’s beeee-aaa-uuu-tiful.

With regard to the discusting plastic liners for your shower?  Forget those.

I stopped using them ions ago.

I buy an all fabric cotton shower curtain – actually I buy 2 and wash one with the towels!

No more plastic touching my body, not more outgassing and no more mold.
