Frequently Asked Questions

Can Enviro-One Concentrate be diluted with tap water?

Yes it can but for best results we recommend distilled or reverse osmosis water to first activate the formula. The molecules in the formula attach themselves to the water molecules and since tap water have minerals, chlorine and other particles in it, it does not activate the formula as well. Once you activate the formula with distilled water, you can then add it to tap water to wash your floor, dishes, clothes, etc.

What’s the difference between Enviro-One Concentrate and Super Concentrate?

Enviro-One Concentrate and Super Concentrate are the same formula but differ in concentration levels and required dilution ratios. The regular Concentrate needs dilution before use, and the most common ratio is 5:1, while the Super Concentrate requires more dilution with a common ratio of 10:1. By following the provided dilution instructions, customers can make the most of these environmentally-friendly cleaning solutions for their specific cleaning tasks. Let’s explore the differences between these two products:

1. Concentration Levels:

The primary difference lies in the concentration of the two products:

  • Enviro-One Concentrate: This product is the regular concentration level of the formula. It requires dilution before application.
  • Super Concentrate: As the name suggests, the Super Concentrate is a more potent version of the same formula. It is twice the concentration of the regular concentrate and also requires dilution before application.

2. Dilution Requirements:

The concentration levels determine the required dilution ratios for each product:

  • Enviro-One Concentrate: As it is the regular concentration, it needs to be diluted before use. The most common dilution ratio for Enviro-One Concentrate is 5:1, which means five parts of water are mixed with one part of concentrate.
  • Super Concentrate: Since it is twice the concentration of the regular concentrate, the Super Concentrate requires more dilution. The most common dilution ratio for Super Concentrate is 10:1, meaning ten parts of water are mixed with one part of Super Concentrate..

3. Dilution Instructions:

To ensure proper and effective use, dilution instructions can be found on the product label itself. Additionally, for more comprehensive instructions and various cleaning uses, customers can refer to the online user guide available at https://enviro-one.com/user-guide.

Can it help with Multiply Chemically Sensitive (MCS).

I’m Multiply Chemically Sensitive (MCS). Can Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ help clean up my home environment and auto interior from the building materials (Formica™, fiberglass, plastics, paints, fabrics, etc.) that are “outgassing” toxic chemicals?

Yes!! Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ actually denatures toxins and drastically reduces the outgassed emissions of these substances.

Do I have to rinse Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™?

Rinsing Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ from most surfaces is not necessary, and leaving a residue is desirable in cases where mechanical removal and suppression of germs and viruses is a concern. However, Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ should be used in weak dilutions and rinsed completely from any oil-based surface. Varnished or painted furniture, painted walls, linoleum tiles, or any object or surface that should not be exposed to water (e.g., leather) are examples. Also, for using Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ on fabric, carpet or upholstery stains, test clean an inconspicuous area first to determine if Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ will affect the color of the fabric.

Does Enviro-One Green Cleaner have a smell?

Enviro-One Green Cleaner Concentrate has a faint smell that is hardly noticeable. Any smell you may get is from the natural plant derived ingredients used. Since we do not use any agents to add or remove the smell you may be able to pick up a smell if you put your nose to the bottle. Other than that, our customers say they don’t even notice it.

Enviro-One Green Cleaner™ to clean automotive equipment?

Can I use Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ to clean automotive equipment/parts or machinery?

Absolutely! Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ is the best degreaser on the planet. Just keep away from any parts that shouldn’t be exposed to water (electrical parts or equipment), and be sure to rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent rust or corrosion.

How can Enviro-One affect bugs but not harm people?

It is true that Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ is effective against many types of insects, but it is NOT poisonous to them. Rather, it affects their shells (exoskeleton). Because an insect’s exoskeleton is composed of oil-based molecules, Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™’s colloidal micelle action has the same effect on it as it would any other oil or grease molecule. It dissolves it. Because mammals are not oil-based, but rather aqueous (water)-based, Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ is absolutely harmless to humans and animals.

How does Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner work?

The secret to Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™’s unmatched cleaning and degreasing performance is in the size and the action of the molecules that make it up. Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ has extremely small molecules called “colloidal micelles”. These micelles are so tiny and so active that they can penetrate the much larger oil and grease molecules, and, acting like tiny jackhammers, actually break apart those molecules into biodegradable components. You will be amazed to see oil and grease literally “melt away” when Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ is applied! No other soap or cleaner has “colloidal micelle” action, which is why Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ outperforms them all.

How doesn't Enviro-One Cleaner make a lot of “foam”?

Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ is a “low sudsing/foaming” formula. But don’t let that fool you! Even without the suds, Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ is still cleaning more effectively than other products that produce lots more foam. Colloidal micelles don’t need to “show off” their strength, they just clean like invisible “scrub brushes”.

Can Enviro-One work on Head Lice?

Enviro-One LiceOut Head Lice Treatment

Get rid of head lice the natural way.

Enviro-One Head Lice Treatment

Yes, Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner provides a natural treatment for killing head lice.

You can use our ready-to use LiceOUT formula (Click Here To Purchase) to treat a head lice infestation or if you already have either the Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner Concentrate or Super Concentrate. Follow the instructions below.

Head Lice Treatment Dilution Instructions

For head lice and their nits (eggs). Mix 1 part solution, 3 parts water of the Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner Concentrate or 1 part solution, 6 part water of the Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner Super Concentrate.

Head Lice Treatment Instructions

  1. On a dry head, start applying Enviro-One by pouring/spraying around the ears and neck and continue until all hair is completely saturated. Work into lather.
  2. Comb through the hair to ensure complete coverage. Massage head and comb hair for 30-40 minutes. Do not rinse and do not allow to dry. (Reapply if necessary to keep moist.)
  3. Rinse Thoroughly. (If hair has tangles, use unscented hair conditioner during rinse.)
  4. Dry hair with hair dryer while combing, preferably outside so nits are not blown into carpets. Blow drying and combing will help ensure all nits are removed from the hair.
  5. Carefully inspect for nits that may be tangled in the hair.
  6. Comb with lice comb to remove any remaining lice or nits. Inspect hair with a good ambient light or daylight, daylight is best, to make sure all nits are gone. It is important that all nits are combed or picked out.

Head Lice Treatment Maintenance

  • For maintenance, dilute 1 part Enviro-One with 1 part water, put in spray bottle. Use 3-4 sprays as a daily hair wash for 2-4 weeks, in place of shampoo. For additional protection, lightly spray on collars and shoulders before returning to area of original infestation.

Important: If pesticides have been used prior to Enviro-One? treatment, the nits may be harder to comb out. Increase step 2 to 60 minutes, and then proceed as directed above. Again, be sure to remove all nits.

Head Lice Treatment Laundry Soap

  • To kill head lice in your laundry, Use a 5:1 solution of Enviro-One in hot water for laundry.

And, it will do this with NO toxic effect.

What makes Enviro-One different than other soaps?

There are four questions that people should ask before buying and using any cleaner.

Is it absolutely safe (nontoxic)?
Is it earth-friendly (biodegradable)?
Does it work (industrial strength)?
Is it versatile (multiple uses)?

Most commercially available cleaners and detergents work fine, but they are usually highly toxic and are not biodegradable. Many “green” cleaners are “organic and biodegradable”, but not nontoxic. Some are truly nontoxic, but they don’t clean very well. And, most cleaners have single or limited applications. Of all the soaps, detergents and cleaners on the market today, only Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ can give a resounding “YES” answer to all four questions. There’s no reason to buy any other cleaner for any other purpose!

What is Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner?

Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ is, simply, pure soap. But it’s not just the soap you’re used to. It’s soap with an attitude! Because of its unique formula, Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ cleans better than any currently available soap, detergent or other type of cleaner on the market. It is an industrial strength cleaner that’s still gentle and safe enough to use on a baby.

Will Enviro-One help eczema or skin irritations or allergies?

For anyone with any kind of skin irritation or allergy, Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ is the ONE product to use for personal cleaning AND for cleaning clothing and linens. Ordinary soaps, shampoos and laundry detergents all have toxic chemicals that leave a residue on the body or in clothing. These residues are absorbed by and continue to irritate the skin. Only Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ can be used without fear of irritation or an allergic reaction, AND will remove/denature the toxins left behind on the skin and in clothing by using commercial cleaning and laundry products.

Will Enviro-One Cleaner remove fish-odors?

Enviro-One Multi-Use Green Cleaner™ is one of the best de-odorizers (of any kind of odor) available anywhere because of its ability to denature organic chemicals.
