Are all InnuScience products Biotechnology based?

How do InnuScience biotech products work?
InnuScience products contain specialized biotechnological active ingredients that targets and degrades different dirts and odors caused by different organic matter ( dirts, food grease, body oils and fats, feces, urine, dust, etc.).
Do InnuScience products disinfect as well?
No. Our products thoroughly clean and degrease surfaces and hard to reach areas. Cleaning is the first and most important step before effectively disinfecting surfaces, if ever needed.
Is there an expiry date on your products?
Depending on the quality of the water, the storage temperature, and use conditions, the products will continue to perform for up to 4 weeks. To ensure maximum efficiency, we recommend you dilute a new bottle every 4 weeks.
Since the product is “alive” is it sensitive to extreme temperatures?
InnuScience biotech products do not require special storage conditions. They can be stored under ‘’normal storage conditions’’ which should be away from direct sun, freezing and extreme heat.

Different InnuScience products contain technology that is engineered to target specific dirt, grease, and organic matters. By mixing our products together, you may risk reducing or even eliminating the effectiveness of the product.
Why do some products foam so much?
There are 2 reasons why our products may foam.
1. The water being used to dilute the product is a soft water.
2. When the water is agitated during filling up the bucket or mopping, foam is created. This has no effect on the result of the cleaning process.

Recently most companies claim to have green products, how do we know if that is true?
Most of our products are certified under the EcoLogo and the Ecolabel programs. Having Ecologo Certifications are voluntary, multi-attribute, lifecycle based environmental certifications that indicate a product has undergone rigorous scientific testing, exhaustive auditing, or both, to prove its compliance with stringent, third-party, environmental performance standards. The Canadian Ecologo (also known as Environmental Choice) helps you identify products and services that have been independently certified to meet strict environmental standards that reflect their entire life cycle — from manufacturing to disposal.
Why not use regular odor eliminators?
Most odor eliminators on the market are heavily perfumed chemicals sold to mask odors. They are harsh on the environment, health, clothing, and sports gear. When sprayed on clothes and gear, the chemicals in them dissolve a layer resulting in the quick wear and tear of the item. The chemicals destroy the item but will not be able to get the smells.
