FAQ's

What is an Enzyme? 

  • Enzymes break down the waste molecules into smaller elements. The smaller elements act as a food source for the existing bacteria present. The enzymes stimulate the bacteria, which then multiply and accelerate the digestion of the waste material. 

How do Enzymes work?

     The Multi-Enzyme formula that we use in our products have five functions.

  1.     Degrades protein-based soils.
  2.     Degrades carbohydrate/starch soils.
  3.     Breaks down fibers to release soils.
  4.     Degrades fat based soils.
  5.     Degrades food-based stains.
  • Working together, these 5 functions in our cleaning products make it a powerful stain and odour remover.
  • But it doesn’t stop there. Because our products contain these enzymes, they continue to work once you’ve stopped cleaning. Our products break down the biofilm formed when bacteria forms. This means the bacteria cannot multiply and die. When the biofilm breaks down, bacteria don’t have the food source to regenerate. Your surface stays cleaner for longer. 

 

What are surfactants, and are they safe?

  • The surfactant blend in our enzyme cleaners and sanitisers cause contaminates to soften. This helps reduce particle sizes and breaks apart the accumulation of oil and fat on the surface. Enzymes can then quickly stimulate the bacteria to degrade the contaminates.
  • They are plant based and derived from natural ingredients, also making them biodegradable.

 Are enzymes environmentally friendly?

  • We source natural occurring enzymes from plant-based materials, making it organic and natural. That’s it! There are no added nasties!
  •  Soap free, 
  •  Non-caustic, 
  •  Non-flammable, 
  •  No chlorine, 
  •  No ammonia and 
  •  No palm oils

Our products are.

  •     100% biodegradable 
  •     Septic safe
  •     Marine safe
  •     pH neutral 
  •     Natural 
  •     Organic Enzymes

 

Are enzymes safe for use around young children and pets?

  • Our formula is pH neutral which means it is safer on surfaces but more importantly safer for use around children and pets.
  • We don’t use synthetic fragrances or dyes and we don’t use preservatives.
  • Also, our products are soap free, non-caustic, non-flammable, contain no chlorine, no ammonia, and no palm oil.
  • The enzymes are for pet urine and human urine/fecal matter.

 

What is the shelf life of Ecodev products?

  • Our enzyme products are tough, and the formulation can be stored for prolonged time under harsh conditions without losing the product's effectiveness. 
  •     We recommend storing our products sealed, in its original container and out of direct sunlight. The shelf life can change due to how it is stored, this is because it is a natural product. Under good storage conditions, our products have a shelf life of 2 years.

 

How biodegradable are enzymes?

  • The enzymes used in Ecodev products are proven to be 82% biodegradable in 14 days. 
  • And because the product is organic, it will eventually biodegrade completely. The result is residue that consists of carbon dioxide and water.

 

How do environmentally friendly sanitisers work?

  •  The sanitisers offered by Ecodev are made using safe, plant-based ingredients that are derived from natural plant extracts.
  •  They work by killing 99.9999% of pathogens and bacteria safely and effectively. 
  •  Effective against the following viruses – Canine parvovirus, feline calicivirus, PEDV and PRRS.
  •  Effective against the following bacteria – E. coli, salmonella, listeria, staphylococcus, and pseudomonas.
