Food for Thought
Question: How many types of stains are there in the world?
Answer: Two. An alkaline and an acid.
Question: Then why do we need 30+ different cleaners?
Acid Stains
•
Hydrogen Peroxide = Acid
•
95% of what we are confronted
with
•
Use Green solution for light-duty
cleaning
•
Use Red solution for heavy-duty
cleaning
Alkaline Stains
• Look for water sources
o Soap scum
o Tile/grout build up
o Water fountains
o Shower rooms
o Swimming pools
• Use an acid that is water soluble
o Won’t damage fixtures
o No hazardous fumes

Green Solution: Cost Benefit
• Hydrogen peroxide is not expensive
o Green solution = $0.05 per quart $0.20 per gal
• 1 case = 2048 quart spray bottles of diluted
product
• Use for general wipe down
• Glide and go
• Use for floor cleaning, autoscrubbers
Red Solution: Cost Benefit
• Hydrogen peroxide is not expensive
o Red solution = $0.50 per quart
•
•
•
•
•
$2.00 per gal
Productivity
5 min. dwell time vs. 10 min. dwell time
No residual build-up
Soil load removed
“Take the home away from the host”
Why it works…
•
Chemical composition
o
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
•
Dismutation takes place
•
Reduction occurs
•
Oxidation – 1 molecule of oxygen off gases
•
H2O is residual = NO BUILD UP
•
All water safe surfaces (carpet, tile, grout, glass etc.)
o
1 product, 2 dilutions = 95% general cleaning
How it works…
•
Hydrogen peroxide compound/compound = BOOM!
•
Absorb with dry microfiber cloth
•
Remove soil load with no residue
•
CLEAN CLOTH + CLEAN SOLUTION = CLEAN SURFACE
Why residue is a problem
•
Stack soil load
•
Breeding ground for bio-films
•
Touch points become compromised
•
The virus and bacteria can transfer
•
“Take the home away from the host”
•
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”
•
Prevention
Are all H2O2 products the same?
•
Short answer: NO.
•
Keep it simple.
•
Review the MSDS sheets.
•
Not the chemical, but the chemistry.
•
Using hydrogen peroxide will have you off-gas
other chemical in the solution.
Are we moving dirt around?
•
String mops
•
Mop buckets
•
Down press wringers
What makes sense?
•
To clean with something that heals
•
To use pesticides/poison (EPA registered product)
•
Quats have their place
•
Isolation- nurse’s office (higher education)
•
Biologic spills- blood, vomit

LEED Certification Credits
The USGBC (United States Green Building Council) is a non-profit organization committed to
expanding sustainable buildings practices. They are working to advance structures that are
environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to work. One of the USGBC
initiatives is the LEED-EB: O&M (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Existing
Buildings: Operations & Maintenance) certification.
One of the credits available under the Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) section of the LEEDEB: O&M is credit 3.4-3.6: Green Cleaning: Purchase of Sustainable Cleaning Products and
Materials.
H2Orange2 Concentrate 117 meets the requirements for this credit!!
This code states that a cleaning product must meet the California Code of Regulations
maximum allowable VOC levels for the specific product category. H2Orange2 Concentrate 117
VOC percentages are below California Code of Regulations maximum allowable VOC levels for
their specific non-aerosol product categories.
