Bathroom Soils

• water deposits
• dried urine deposits
• soap scum
• dried organic soils

4
Bathroom Soils

• Problem
• poor removal of soils and accumulation of
  dried deposits
• Why?
• mainly because we clean with products and
  procedures that simply do not remove all of the
  soil

5
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• Disinfectant cleaners
• quaternary ammonia cleaners
• hydrogen peroxide-based cleaners

6
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• These types of cleaners are formulated with
  surfactantsas the main cleaning ingredient.

7
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• Surfactants are not effective at removing these
  types of soils
• dried water deposits
• soap scum
• dried urine
• other organic deposits

8
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• Additional ingredients are then needed to
  dissolve hard water deposits
• organic acids
• glycolic acid and others
• inorganic acids
• phosphonic and phosphoric acids and others
• (Sometimes EDTA or other chelators are used in
  non acidic formulations.)

9
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• Corrosive acids do dissolve hard water deposits
  but also damage many surfaces and add to the
  harmful health effects associated with cleaning
  products.
• Some washroom formulations use EDTA to replace
  the use of acids for mild water deposit removal.
  These compounds are very harmful to the
  environment.

10
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• Solvents are also added to the surfactants to
  dissolve soil
• diethylene glycol butyl ether
• tripropylene glycol methyl ether
• orange oil / d-limonene
• (and many that are even more harmful.)

11
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• Solvents do help surfactants dissolve soap scum,
  but have no benefit in removing hard water or
  urine deposits.
• Solvents can add to indoor air pollution and can
  also remain on surfaces after cleaning as
  residues.

12
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• Poor removal of soils also leads to use of
  deodorizing chemicals.
• Covering or masking odors is not a healthy
  solution, or really a solution at all.

13
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• Today's bathroom cleaning chemistry typically
  consists of
• surfactants (agents for reducing surface tension)
• sequestrates (agents for dissolving water
  deposits)
• solvents
• anti-microbial agents

14
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• but today's washroom cleaners fall
  short
• so additional cleaners are also
  used.

15
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• 1. Strongly acidic cleaners
• (These are needed to remove accumulated
  water and urine deposits from urinals and
  toilets. Often these products are used on wash
  basins, taps, grouted surfaces and acrylics,
  damaging many surfaces.)

16
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• 2. Powdered and liquid cleansers
• (These products use abrasives to remove
  soils that are not removed by daily washroom
  cleaners.These products are usually not suitable
  for use on acrylics.)

17
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• 3. Deodorant Blocks
• (Deodorant blocks, air atomizers and other
  forms of masking agents add to the chemicals
  released into washrooms.)

18
Current BathroomCleaning Chemistry

• 4. Bleach
• (Bleach is commonly used in washrooms to
  remove accumulated soils that daily cleaning
  leaves behind.)

19
Questioning Current Methods

• It is time to rethink the chemical
  formulations we use in washrooms.
• Consider the following questions

20
Questioning Current Methods

• Why do we use a daily cleaner that needs
  additional cleaners to remove what daily cleaning
  leaves behind?

21
Questioning Current Methods

• Why do we try to clean soap residues with soap?
  (The main ingredients in washroom cleaners are
  surfactants.)

22
Questioning Current Methods

• Why do we expect surfactants to remove water
  deposits? (Surfactants do not dissolve water
  deposits in fact many surfactants restrict the
  ability of other ingredients to effectively
  dissolve water deposits.)

23
Questioning Current Methods

• Why do we expect disin-fectants to remove hard
  water deposits, urine deposits or soap scum?
  (Disinfectants are designed to kill specific
  types of bacteria.)

24
Questioning Current Methods

• Why do we insist on trying to disinfect dirt?
  (Soiled wash-rooms are not going to be
  disinfected by cleaning with a disinfectant. Dirt
  must be removed before disinfection can be
  effective.)

25
Questioning Current Methods

• Why do we expect Micro Fibre cloths to clean
  without cleaners? (The claim that you need no
  cleaning agent has repeatedly fallen short. Micro
  Fibre cleaning cloths are not effective at
  removing hard water deposits or accumulated soap
  scum.)

26
New Natural Cleaning Recipes

• avoid unsafe chemistry
• use safe and naturalfood-based ingredients
• work on completelyremoving the soil

How to use DFC 201 Detergent Free Bathroom /
Organic Cleaner

• Restoring urinals, toilets and fixtures
• Use DFC 201 undiluted. Allow to dwell on surface,
  agitate with bowl brush, scouring pad etc. and
  rinse.
• Repeat if needed.
• Remember DFC 201 is not corrosive and gently
  loosens and dissolves calcium, lime and rust
  deposits.
• Remember restoration is not daily cleaning. Allow
  sufficient time, lower water in toilet bowl and
  shut off water to fixture if needed.

50
How to use DFC 201 Detergent Free Bathroom /
Organic Cleaner

• Restoring showers and tubs
• In most cases showers and tubs have soap scum
  build-up rather than a large hard water build-up.
• For rapid removal of soap scum build-up, dilute
  20 parts water to one part DCF 201. Apply to
  surface. Allow a short dwell time. Agitate and
  rinse.

51
How to use DFC 201 Detergent Free Bathroom /
Organic Cleaner

• Removing mould/ mildew and restoring grouted
  surfaces
• To remove light accumulation of contaminants from
  grouted surfaces.
• Dilute 1 part DFC 201 to 128 parts water. Apply
  to surface. Make sure to wet all surfaces well.
  Allow a short dwell time and scrub grout lines
  thoroughly with brush or pad. Damp wipe or rinse.
• For surfaces with large soil accumulation dilute
  1 part DFC 201 to 20 parts water.

52
How to use DFC 201 Detergent Free Bathroom /
Organic Cleaner

• Removing accumulated soil from exterior surfaces,
  wooden decks, concrete and patio furniture
• Most exterior soils can be removed by applying a
  solution of 1 part DFC 201 and 128 parts water.
  DFC 201 can be applied from a sprayer or power
  washer or watering can.
• Apply generously. Allow a short dwell time.
  Agitate surface and rinse with lots of water.
  Patio furniture can be simply damp wiped with
  cloth or sponge.

53
How to use DFC 201 Detergent Free Bathroom /
Organic Cleaner

• Daily cleaning of bathrooms
• Most everything in a washroom can be cleaned with
  DFC 201 (diluted 1 part DFC 201 to 128 parts
  water).
• Review washroom sanitation procedures to prevent
  soil accumulation.
• Dilute 1 part DFC 201 to 20 parts water to

  inside-of-bowl and urinal cleaning.

54
How to stop odours and eliminate the use of
deodorant blocks

• Odours are all caused by a source organic
  soils
• By not allowing odour sources to accumulate the
  need to use deodorant blocks and other sources of
  air freshening can be eliminated.
• DFC 201 Detergent Free Bathroom/ Organic Cleaner
  easily dissolves organic soils.

55
How to stop odours and eliminate the use of
deodorant blocks

• Detergent residues
• Even detergent residues from disinfectant
  cleaners can add to the problem.
• Detergent residue can increase the difficulty in
  removing the washroom contaminants and
  potentially add to the liabilities of chemical
  exposures.

56
How to stop odours and eliminate the use of
deodorant blocks

• Two simple things are needed
• Insure that at least once a day bathrooms are
  cleaned thoroughly including things that are not
  visible or obvious, such as urine around urinals
  and toilets. Ensure inside of urinals and toilets
  are cleaned completely, including the drain.
• For very busy bathrooms use frequent patrol
  cleaning, which includes treating the inside of
  urinals and toilets as well as the areas around
  them.

57
How to stop odours and eliminate the use of
deodorant blocks

• DFC 201 Detergent Free Bathroom / Organic
  Cleaner will do the rest.

58
Safety

• It is not acceptable in 2005 that we still use
  corrosive cleaning products.
• It is not acceptable that cleaning staff have
  access to multiple cleaning products that when
  mixed can cause injury or death.
• Oxidizers are corrosive and even oxygen oxidizers
  are corrosive to many surfaces.
• It is not acceptable to damage acrylics,
  porcelain, chrome, stainless steel or grouted
  surfaces from bathroom cleaning operations.
