ABSTRACT
Traditionally cleaning products have been produced using man made chemicals such as synthetic surfactants made of petroleum distillates, vegetable oils, or large synthetic alcohols. The chemicals used in most cleaning products can often have a negative effect on the environment. Our focus is on replacing these man made compounds with naturally occurring nano-particles which act as catalysts.
The catalysts are produced using an organic medium (sea kelp), a variety of microbes, and water. The transformation of these simple ingredients into catalysts such as enzymes and bio-surfactants is accomplished in a process that resembles the brewing of wine. This makes production relitivelly simple and inexpensive, simply put the ingredents togather, provide the right conditions, and let nature take its course.
