Power Through Hurricane Restoration With Bioesque® Botanical Disinfectant Solution

Written by Bioesque Solutions Team on September 27, 2018. Posted in Botanical Disinfectant, Info

Hurricane Florence cut a broad swath of destruction in the southeastern United States, with monumental flooding continuing long after the hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm. Rivers in the affected areas crested far above even historical flood stages. The Cape Fear River near Wilmington has reached an almost inconceivable crest of 62 feet. In one week over 37 fatalities have been recorded and countless structures inundated by the contaminated flood waters and storm surges.

Residential, industrial, and commercial losses are devastating, and individuals and businesses in the storm-stricken areas rely on the cutting-edge equipment and products of leading restoration companies to manage the vast amounts of Category 3 water filling their properties and damaging their structures. Consider that over 1.7 million chickens have been lost from the storm along with hundreds of pig farms discharging thousands of pig carcasses and “pig excrement.” What product can safely grapple with this horrific contamination? Bioesque® Botanical Disinfectant Solution is a fast acting and effective Bactericidal, Virucidal*, Tuberculocidal, and Fungicidal** answer to the dangers of the contaminated, black water saturating the building materials of homes and commercial properties. Bioesque® Botanical Disinfectant Solution is the answer. When the water recedes and structures are reclaimed restoring them to safe, sanitized, and wholesome conditions is within the scope of Bioeque Products.

Bioesque® Botanical Disinfectant Solution is registered with the EPA as a broad spectrum disinfectant. It is the fastest acting botanically derived disinfectant on the market. Restoration professionals can apply the product without shaking or mixing, permitting the restoration process to move from assessment to implementation of a recovery plan quickly. Restorers apply the Bioesque® Botanical Disinfectant Solution in the most straightforward way for each project, using it with rags and mops right out of the container, or with bottles or broadcast spraying equipment to cover larger areas. The simplicity of the application reduces the complex obstacles faced by restoration professionals.

The Botanical Disinfectant Solution cleans and disinfects all surfaces, including porous materials. Residences and all industries including animal husbandry, but not limited to food service, healthcare, offices, schools, hospitality venues, public and private transportation, commercial, and industrial sites, sports and athletic centers, and correctional facilities benefit from the use of Bioesque® Botanical Disinfectant Solution during hurricane restoration tasks. Safe for use in hospitals, safe for use in homes and farming environments.

Patented Thymox technology and a botanically derived active ingredient make Bioesque® Botanical Disinfectant Solution safe to use on all surfaces and around humans and animals. Its safety does not impede its germ-killing efficiency, with impressively short kill times for the following pathogens:

Sanitizing 99.99 percent Staph/Enterobacter aerogenes in thirty seconds
Kills 99.99 percent of viruses including Swine influenza in one minute
Kills 99.99 percent of bacteria in two minutes.
Kills 99.99 percent of fungi and molds in three minutes.
Kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis in three minutes.

The shorter dwell times indicated to eliminate the noted pathogens supports leading restoration companies’ preference for Bioesque® Botanical Disinfectant Solution as a first-line disinfectant. With the already super-saturated environments resulting from Hurricane Florence, and other natural disaster events, a simple application of a product that requires no dissolving or fear of breakdown, is the sanitizing product of choice by professional restoration companies. Restoration of contaminated water damage catastrophes like hurricanes and other significant storms is faster, requires less labor, and is fully effective and cost-efficient when Bioesque® Botanical Disinfectant Solution is the product of choice.

*Virucidal according to the ASTM Standard Test Method for Efficacy of Virucidal Agents
** Fungicidal according to the AOAC Germicidal Spray Method

Consider Botanically Derived Disinfectants And Specialty Cleaners From Bioesque® Solutions As Hurricane Season Builds

Written by Bioesque Solutions Team on September 12, 2018. Posted in Botanical Disinfectant, Info

There is a good reason for September’s designation as National Preparedness Month. The last two weeks of September are prime time for the development of hurricanes and tropical storms. Born off the coast of Africa, the seasonal storm systems impact the North American land masses on the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico as they gain energy and race across the Atlantic.

Florence gained hurricane status midweek and poses a threat to the East Coast over the weekend. Life-threatening surf and riptides are possible from Florida to Maine.

Tropical storms and hurricanes bring high winds and torrential rains, causing profound water damage, flooding, and physical destruction of residences and commercial property. Restoration companies anticipate each hurricane season by ensuring disaster crews are fully staffed, trained, and ready to respond to a request for assistance with state of the art equipment. Supporting the efforts of the hurricane damage recovery teams each season are products and tools intended to mitigate the effects of flooding, storm surge, and wind damage efficiently.

More and more commercial and residential customers demand environmentally sensitive and botanically based disinfectant and cleaning products. Bioesque® Solutions provide an alternative to the harsh toxic chemicals used in conventional restoration and remediation cleaners and disinfectants. As an EPA registered disinfectant, it is rated to kill 99.9 percent of the listed hazards within one to three minutes, depending on the contaminant. Even during the chaos of a hurricane or tropical storm aftermath it is vital to individuals, families, and businesses that restoration companies clean and disinfect in the safest and least toxic way.

After remediators remove a storm’s flood waters from a home or business, EPA registered disinfectants from the Bioesque® Solutions range treat the affected structural surfaces. The Botanical Disinfectant Solution disinfects, sanitizes, cleans, and deodorizes in one step, safe to use on water mitigation projects including the sewage backup and overland flooding common after hurricane damage.

Specialized products in the Bioesque® range are great additions to a restoration firm’s arsenal after severe storm damage. Bioesque® Mold Resistant Coating applied after structural drying proactively inhibits microbial infestation as restoration workers prepare surfaces for repainting or other refinishing. The unpleasant smells that can linger after water and storm damage disappear when restoration technicians employ Bioesque® Botanical Odor Neutralizer, harnessing the power of enzymes to eliminate odors.

Delivering on the restoration industry’s best practices post-hurricane need not require the use of toxic cleaners and disinfectants. Reputable restoration firms continuously seek to upgrade and improve their services. Bioesque® Solutions offer the power of traditional cleaning, and disinfecting products derived instead from naturally occurring ingredients that work together safely and harmoniously.
