What To Consider When Buying Enzymatic Cleaners

Enzymatic cleaners are cleaning products that contain enzymes that will effectively break down the biological components of stains and messes. Enzymes are biological compounds that increase the speed at which other biological substances like starches, oils, fats and proteins break down. Making the overall cleaning process easier. Let's take a look at some of the aspects to consider when buying enzymatic cleaners, which are cleaning products that we sell.

Spray Bottles vs Pour Bottles

An enzymatic cleaner often comes in a spray bottle or a pour bottle with each one coming with certain features and aspects.

Spray Bottles

Spray bottles allow you to spray the enzymatic cleaner directly onto the affected area. These bottles will usually range from 24 ounces to 32 ounces. Spray bottles work especially well for pet stains and bad odors. They are also great for quick use, since they are small and you can store them easily and use them in a pinch.

Pour Bottles

When you use a pour bottle, you will pour the enzymatic cleaner on the affected area. This way is harder to control since the application is more difficult and harder to apply properly and with precision. However, pour bottles are typically gallon-size, so they are a good option if you use this sort of cleaner often.

Type of Stain

The formulas of enzymatic cleaners are designed to treat specific stains and odors and that is because the enzymes they contain will break down specific organic materials. Here are some types of stains.

Proteases

An enzymatic cleaner that contains proteases targets protein-based stains, like food, wine, feces, urine and blood.

Amylases

The enzymatic cleaner that contains amylases will target starch-based stains, such as sugars, sauces and eggs.

Lipases

Enzymatic cleaners that contain lipases will effectively target fat-based stains, like oil and grease.

Multiple Enzymes

Some enzymatic cleaners contain a combination of enzymes in order to treat a wide range of stains.

Concentration

A concentrated enzymatic cleaner is best for those stains that are more difficult to clean or come with a particularly bad smell. Instead of the standard formula, it is good to look for a cleaner that is explicitly designed for "super strength," "commercial strength" or "industrial strength." A concentrated cleaner contains more enzymes, which means it will work faster and be more effective than your standard enzymatic cleaner. An enzymatic cleaner is usually 100% natural and safe to use around kids and your pets, which makes these products perfect to have in any home with them. It holds especially true since kids and pets are huge culprits of smelly and bad stains.

Drying Time

In order to be most effective, enzymatic cleaners need time to completely dry to best remove stains and odors. Some of the cleaners will dry faster than others, so it is crucial to consider the drying time when you are looking to clean. When preparing to use enzymatic cleaners, understand that many require 12 to 24 hours to dry.

Scent

Most enzymatic cleaners do not have a scent. However, some formulas will have a scent and a pretty strong one at that. So, if you are sensitive to fragrances, then it might be best to avoid cleaners that have a scent.
