How do biological oil stain removers work?

Our biological oil stain removing products, including Bio Gel, contain specially selected bacteria which naturally digest oil and
hydrocarbon contamination.

While the food source − ie the oil stain − is present, the bacteria keep on working and continue to do so until it’s all gone!

For the biological cleaning of oil contamination to be effective, it requires:

On the basis that the first four conditions are in place, the bacteria selected for use in our products will digest oil stains - from light oils to heavy crude.

Note:

• Speed of oil digestion is temperature dependent. At an ambient temperature of 15°C, we would expect the full digestion process to take 4-6 weeks. For every 10°C above or below this temperature, the speed of digestion increase or decrease by 50% i.e. at an ambient temperature of 25°C digestion time of 2-3 weeks would be typical.
• The bacteria used in our products are Euro Type 1 (safe for long term laboratory application and safe for long term general public exposure).
