What do enzymes do? Enzymes are natural, biodegradable molecules that work to break up specific stain groups. For example, in LEGACY OF CLEAN™ products we use one enzyme that naturally breaks up protein stains like blood, egg, or baby formula. Another enzyme we use naturally breaks up starch stains like rice, pasta, or pudding. Once the stains have been broken up, they can easily be washed away. Are there any fabrics I shouldn’t use PreWash on? LEGACY OF CLEAN PreWash Stain Treatment is for washable, non-protein fabrics and shouldn’t be used on protein fabrics like wool or silk. Check the care label of your clothes to make sure. Many products claim to be safe and “green” these days, but can you prove it? We have partnered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Designed for the Environment program. Many of our formulas and ingredients have already been reviewed by the EPA and third-party accreditation contractors to meet their goals for safety. Review the Conversion brochure to see which products have already received the EPA’s Designed for the Environment designation. We’re also a participant in the A.I.S.E. (International Association for Soaps, Detergents, and Maintenance Products) “Charter for Sustainable Cleaning.” As a participant, we voluntarily commit to follow this industry initiative for continual improvement in sustainability. Each phase of the product’s life cycle (raw material selection, chemical safety, resource use, occupational health and safety, and advice to customers on how best to use the products) is assessed, reviewed, and externally verified. The goal? Being a trendsetter and role model for continual improvement in sustainability for the entire cleaning products industry. What does “planet-positive” mean? LEGACY OF CLEAN products are super-effective, but they’re also planet-positive – meaning they won’t negatively effect the environment. So rest assured that while you and your customers are making things cleaner, safer, and brighter in your home, you’re doing the same for your planet. Why are LEGACY OF CLEAN products packaged in plastic if they’re supposed to be eco-sensitive? Plastic can certainly be eco-sensitive. We chose to use plastic to package our products because it’s durable, recyclable, and, in the case of our tubs, easily reusable. On average, our plastic containers are made with 25% post-consumer resin and are recyclable. Our tubs are specifically designed to support the second “R” – reuse. They are the perfect shape for storing everything from crayons to more SA8®+BIOQUEST® Detergent! We chose #5 plastic for the tubs because of its durability. When you’re done reusing them, they’re also recyclable. But, while most recycling centers accept #2 plastic (like our bottles), some won’t accept #5. If this is the case in your area, we encourage you to contact your center and ask them to start accepting #5 plastics, which can include everything from milk caps and yogurt containers to car battery casings. You can also visit earth911 to find a recycling center or program that will accept #5 plastics. More Information About LEGACY OF CLEAN™ LEGACY OF CLEAN products are never tested on animals.
