1. Intro­duc­tion

It’s amaz­ing that in our mod­ern world with so many safety reg­u­la­tions and pro­ce­dures to pro­tect worker health and safety that very lit­tle atten­tion is paid to the daily toxic expo­sure of peo­ple in

the jan­i­to­r­ial field, peo­ple like you or any­one else that is con­stantly exposed to toxic chemicals.

Sup­pos­edly, we have entered the time of the green rev­o­lu­tion; peo­ple actu­ally really want to know how to go green, yet with all the prod­uct claims it’s vir­tu­ally impos­si­ble for the aver­age person

to fig­ure out this puz­zle. This guide will allow you to under­stand how to green your clean­ing prac­tices and hope­fully have a cou­ple of laughs.

It is an excel­lent tool for edu­cat­ing co-workers and home­own­ers’ on the dan­gers of toxic clean­ers and sol­vents.  It will also edu­cate you on spot­ting “green wash”.

This is the prac­tice of label­ing some­thing as green when in fact, it’s not. My hope is that when you fin­ish read­ing this book you will take action and pack up your toxic clean­ers and take

them to the haz­ardous waste dis­posal cen­ter where they belong. Please don’t pour them down the drain. As you will dis­cover, they are harm­ing not just you and your fam­ily, they are killing our lakes, rivers, oceans and streams.

Please feel free to copy this book­let and pass it out to your co-workers so that they are empow­ered to green your work and their home envi­ron­ments. You may also want to give a copy to your employer and point out the fact

that they are los­ing money from lost pro­duc­tiv­ity by allow­ing these tox­ins in your work envi­ron­ment; not to men­tion spend­ing more money then required on clean­ers that don’t work and actu­ally mak­ing the clean­ing staff work

harder than is necessary.

If we can be of any assis­tance in help­ing to detox­ify your envi­ron­ment, answer­ing any of your clean­ing ques­tions and help you save money, please con­tact us.

2. What’s killing your clean­ing staff?

Imag­ine a sales­per­son shows up at your home and takes out a bot­tle of poi­son; he then dilutes it with some water and pours it into a spray bottle.

He then tells you he wants you to spray this around your home or office every day. What would you tell him or more pre­cisely, where would you tell him to go?

In real­ity, sales and mar­ket­ing peo­ple never do this. They run pretty ads with women danc­ing around with mops act­ing like idiots who tell you how won­der­ful and clean your home will be when you use

their super duper cleaner. Nobody asks the ques­tion “if some­thing is coated in poi­son, is it actu­ally clean?”

The prob­lem is how are you, as a con­sumer or even a pro­fes­sional jan­i­tor, expected to know what’s in these clean­ers when even pro­fes­sional chemists can be confused.

Let’s have a look at some prod­uct claims:

3. All natural?

“All nat­ural” is a great mar­ket­ing buzz­word; it leads you to believe that because it’s nat­ural, it’s good for you.  Well, did you know cobra venom is all nat­ural?  Would you like some?  The fact is

just because some­thing is nat­ural does not mean it won’t hurt you.

Think of it another way. If an oil com­pany sim­ply pumped some oil out of the ground, put it in a bot­tle and labeled it “All Nat­ural Sticky, Mother Nature‘s Hair Remover”, would they be lying?

The answer is “No”. Now, the more impor­tant ques­tion is “Would you buy a bot­tle and use it on your legs”? Why not? It’s a lot less toxic then a lot of clean­ers and sol­vents peo­ple use every day.

Nat­u­rally, some rethink­ing is per­haps needed here.

4. It’s made from plants

This is another spin on “nat­ural”. It’s what they told the philoso­pher Socrates he was going to drink when they gave him the hem­lock. They just for­got to men­tion the poi­son part.

(Please note this last     state­ment is prob­a­bly not his­tor­i­cally accurate.)

I could tell you that many of my clean­ers are made from plant based sur­fac­tants or soaps and organic salts which sounds great and is in fact true, but so what? It still means absolutely noth­ing unless those

mate­ri­als are not harm­ful when com­pared to base line and meet a min­i­mum safety stan­dard estab­lished by a cer­ti­fy­ing body – Canada’s cer­ti­fi­ca­tion is the Eco-logo. ‘Green wash’ man­u­fac­tur­ers, in an effort

to fool the con­sci­en­tious con­sumer, have actu­ally gone so far as to cre­ate false logos.

The main ben­e­fit of mak­ing prod­ucts from plants is that it’s a renew­able resource and gen­er­ally it is more “friendly” then petro­leum based products.

Peo­ple need to get back to nature and spend more time learn­ing about plants so we can get back into bal­ance with our renew­able world.

5. Those evil chemicals

I love read­ing mar­ket­ing and blogs that rant and rave about the evils of chem­i­cals in our prod­ucts and claim their prod­uct to be chem­i­cal free. These peo­ple hon­estly don’t know that every­thing in the

phys­i­cal or mate­r­ial world is a chem­i­cal, man made or not. You’re made of chem­i­cals and so am I.

One of my friend’s cus­tomers who buys mil­lions of dol­lars of prod­uct came to him after speak­ing to their com­peti­tor who had made the most incred­i­ble state­ment. He said: “Roger, you wouldn’t believe

what they got in this new prod­uct. This product’s got ‘mol­e­cules’ — can you believe it, Roger, ‘mol­e­cules’. With a straight face, mas­sive amounts of blad­der con­trol and the fear of los­ing a multi-million dol­lar account, my friend

was able to calmly say “Ooh that’s no big deal, we’ve had mol­e­cules in our prod­ucts for years.”

6. How about bio-degradable?

Did you know that ura­nium and plu­to­nium are bio-degradable?  It may take a few mil­lion years yet they do even­tu­ally break down.  The real ques­tion is “what do they kill in the meantime?”

The idea is to be “read­ily” biodegrad­able. In other words it should break down into com­po­nent parts with the least amount of harm in the least amount of time (under 28 days).

This does not mean you should pour it into a river.

7. Non-toxic?

Have you ever put vine­gar on your fish and chips?  Did it hurt you?  Obvi­ously not.  Did you know that if you take vine­gar and pour it into a fish tank you will kill all the fish?

My point here is that the term non toxic is not valid unless you con­sider the application.

Even water if you drink too much of it can kill you.  Tox­i­c­ity is not a mar­ket­ing buzzword.

8.The list of ingredients

Of all the tricks green wash­ers use to sell toxic clean­ers, my favorite is: “look we list all of our ingre­di­ents on the label.”  If it’s a food prod­uct, this is a good rule. How­ever, every year thou­sands of new chem­i­cal com­pounds are

intro­duced to the mar­ket­place.  Even a pro­fes­sional chemist would have a hard time keep­ing up with this amount of infor­ma­tion.  How can you be expected, as a con­sumer, to under­stand the safety of these ingredients?

When it comes to clean­ing prod­ucts and other chem­i­cal com­pounds, the only real safe­guard for con­sumers is a rep­utable third party val­i­da­tion.  For­tu­nately, there are 29 eco-logo validation

pro­grams world­wide.  In Canada, we have the eco-logo, in the U.S.A , you have the Green Seal and in Europe, they have sev­eral.  The bot­tom line for con­sumer prod­ucts is, if you don’t see

the cer­ti­fi­ca­tions and don’t actu­ally know that the maker of the prod­uct holds your health and the health of the envi­ron­ment in high regard, don’t believe the claims.

The obvi­ous indi­ca­tor that a com­pany really doesn’t care about your wel­fare over their bot­tom line, is a his­tory of sell­ing toxic clean­ers for years or even worse, label­ing prod­ucts as green

(green wash) when they know the con­trary to be true. They have the capa­bil­ity of mak­ing prod­ucts that work and meet min­i­mum green stan­dards.  If a lit­tle sup­plier like me can do it they can do it too and there is no excuse.

More about “the game” is cov­ered fur­ther on in this book.  How­ever, in the mean time stop buy­ing those prod­ucts and prod­ucts from the com­pany mak­ing them.

Also, take a moment and sign my peti­tion to ban toxic clean­ers at www.oillift.net/petition . As a fun bonus when you sign the peti­tion you get an e-mail with the answer to “Skanky Laun­dry Syn­drome”. Most wash­ing machines

have bac­te­ria growth and there is a cure. You will also receive updates on my blog with clean­ing, health and water related infor­ma­tion. Try this test to see if you have ”Skanky Laun­dry Syn­drome”, after using your tow­els a

cou­ple of times, smell them and see if they have a musty or skanky smell. This is the bac­te­ria growth from your laun­dry machine as it re-hydrates and grows. It’s fun to announce at par­ties as well. When you come out from your

friends’ bath­room say out loud, “Ooh my God you have Skanky Laun­dry Syn­drome.” I’ll let your imag­i­na­tion run with that.

9. Clean­ers, safety and children

Have you ever been to a trade show and watched a sales­per­son try to tell you that their prod­uct is so green you can drink it?  This hap­pened to me, the sales­per­son put a lit­tle bit on her tongue.  I said: “that doesn’t prove

any­thing, actu­ally drink some”.  The sales per­son backed down.  The sad truth is that par­ents will buy these clean­ers and place them under the sink where chil­dren can get their hands on them.  Every year

thou­sands of chil­dren are poi­soned with clean­ers that are unsafely stored.  If you remem­ber one thing you’ve read in this book let it be this, don’t ever drink clean­ing prod­ucts and store them out of reach of chil­dren.

On that note I had my first Oil lift poi­son­ing when I was doing a school fund rais­ing pro­gram this year. A call came from a doc­tor at Cal­gary poi­son con­trol. I said what hap­pened, did a kid drink it?

She said no. It was an adult? She said “YES”. This was a sur­prise so I asked:” Was there alco­hol involved in this? She said “YES”. Was gam­bling involved? The doc said: “you got it!

Basi­cally his drunken bud­dies bet him he could not drink a whole bot­tle.” The doc­tor gave him a can of coke which neu­tral­izes the alka­lin­ity and sent him home.

10. Cancer-causing agents or carcinogens

When I tell peo­ple there are car­cino­gens in their clean­ers, many peo­ple say: “so what, every­thing gives you can­cer today.”  Even if this is the case, how intel­li­gent is it to go out of your way to put more car­cino­gens in your body?

It’s about as smart as tak­ing a bot­tle of poi­son and spray­ing it around your house every day.

What peo­ple need to know is that accord­ing to one study (1) done in New Jer­sey, there are 30 times more tox­ins in your home than in indus­try.  The num­ber one source of these tox­ins is your clean­ers. So get rid of them. This is

sim­ple com­mon sense, replace them with safe, con­cen­trated, multi-purpose clean­ers that work bet­ter and save you money.

It always amazes me that every year, in every city. There are huge marathons and fund rais­ers to cure can­cer, yet if you go to

people’s homes, you will find a cup­board full of can­cer caus­ing prod­ucts and a fridge full of acid caus­ing, low nutri­tion fake

food. Note: Choco­late is exempt from this opin­ion list. I con­stantly run into peo­ple that either have can­cer or have a family

mem­ber with can­cer and won­der what to do. I have two sources of infor­ma­tion that you will find invalu­able and may save your

life.

The first is look up Dr. Sam Epstein at www.preventcancer.com and the sec­ond is Dr. Sherry Rogers www.healthywealthyandwiseshow.com/RogersSherry.htm Take the time to study their material

and com­pare it to what you are being told about can­cer treat­ment and pre­ven­tion. Also, show it to your doc­tor and show him/her the research. This is not alter­na­tive med­i­cine. These two very smart peo­ple are on

the cut­ting edge of the best sci­ence and have really good com­mon sense which as you know today is not very com­mon. If I had the time, I would be sell­ing their books and rais­ing money for them on my web site.

11.The Green Bait and Switch Game

Have you ever gone to a store to get that big TV they adver­tised at 75% off with lim­ited quan­ti­ties in stock only to find out they were all sold out even after you got to the store five min­utes after open­ing? OK maybe that’s an

exag­ger­a­tion, yet we know the game is to lure the per­son in and sell you the other big­ger, more prof­itable unit.

The same applies to clean­ers espe­cially in the indus­trial world. In order to ‘be with the times’, many com­pa­nies are putting on their green mask and sell­ing a line of green prod­ucts to lure in the

unsus­pect­ing cus­tomer. They start by sell­ing you a green prod­uct but you find it does not work very well so you ask for a dif­fer­ent one. This is when they switch it back to the more prof­itable toxic one.

Now you are right back at play­ing their game.

Please under­stand, I’m not against a com­pany sell­ing more prod­ucts and mak­ing money. Where I take issue is the inten­tional mak­ing of prod­ucts that harm peo­ple and trick­ing peo­ple into buy­ing them at

the cost of their health. If a green or safer prod­uct is not avail­able to do a job, tell the cus­tomer about it and urge them to use the proper safety and envi­ron­men­tal pre­cau­tions. In the real world, there are times when chemicals

that don’t meet the min­i­mum green stan­dards are nec­es­sary to get a job done; that does not mean that they can­not be han­dled safely and with­out harm to the envi­ron­ment when proper edu­ca­tion is given. It also means that there

is lots of oppor­tu­nity for smart peo­ple to find the green replace­ment when encour­aged by smart con­sumers who pro­vide moti­va­tion by wisely spend­ing their money with peo­ple and com­pa­nies that care and boy­cotting companies

that don’t. Ulti­mately, you per­son­ally have the power to green this world by sim­ply chang­ing your pur­chas­ing habits and buy­ing prod­ucts and ser­vices that are sus­tain­able. So if you haven’t signed my peti­tion yet, here’s the web

link again www.oillift.net/petition

12.Chemical sen­si­tiv­ity

The exact num­ber of per­sons suf­fer­ing from chem­i­cal sen­si­tiv­ity is unclear, but the rise in asthma, chronic fatigue syn­drome, atten­tion deficit dis­or­der, rashes and hives and second-hand

smoke lung dis­ease are all exam­ples of this ill­ness. A study (2) of 24,000 stu­dents at North­ern Texas Uni­ver­sity revealed 25 (normal’s) for chem­i­cal tox­i­c­ity (0.1%). In other words,

only 25 out of 24,000 stu­dents had nor­mal tox­i­c­ity lev­els. Do you think that the num­ber one source of tox­ins might have some­thing to do with this?

Expos­ing your skin your eyes and your lungs to toxic clean­ers and sol­vents repeat­edly can cause rashes, dizzi­ness, breath­ing prob­lems, skin dam­age, and a whole vari­ety of other

prob­lems not to men­tion per­ma­nent dam­age to your inter­nal organs. All clean­ers, includ­ing vine­gar and bak­ing soda, should be han­dled with care. Rub­ber gloves, eye glasses and if nec­es­sary, a mask. Use your com­mon sense.

13.Reproductive dam­age

Endocrine dis­rupt­ing chem­i­cals or EDC’s for short, are pos­si­bly the most fright­en­ing com­po­nents in clean­ing prod­ucts. Basi­cally they react with other chem­i­cals and dis­rupt the hor­mones in your body. They also

accu­mu­late in your fatty tis­sue and organs and sab­o­tage fer­til­ity. (3)

When a bel­uga whale dies and ends up on the banks of the Saint Lawrence River, the car­cass must be taken away and treated as haz­ardous waste.  When sci­en­tists stud­ied dis­eases and tox­i­c­ity of these whales, they

dis­cov­ered that they had the same ill­nesses as the land-based ani­mals and humans.

The point is that the tox­ins are in the water. (4)

14. Water and life

Do you remem­ber the frogs? I do. When I was grow­ing up, they were every­where. What hap­pened to them? What most peo­ple don’t under­stand is that frogs are

very sen­si­tive to chem­i­cals; they are barom­e­ters for pol­lu­tion in the water as they die quickly when a water area is pol­luted.

When you clean your home, wash your house or dri­ve­way, fer­til­ize the lawn or use pes­ti­cides, the chem­i­cals that you use all wash down the drain.  These drains lead to streams,

which lead to rivers and lakes, which ulti­mately lead to the ocean. Our aquatic world is dying. All of life on earth depends on clean water. In 1997, approx­i­mately 23% of water

bod­ies in North Amer­ica were con­sid­ered dead. In other words, you could not swim in the water or eat the fish. Today, in 2009, it’s approx­i­mately 50 %.(5) If you want to see

how healthy your neigh­bor­hood is, biopsy the fish in your local stream. What’s killing them is killing you and the solu­tions in most cases are very sim­ple and become very

appar­ent when you become “water aware”.

That brings me to why I’m doing all this, why I wrote this book and why I founded Save the Oceans Inc. I was shocked into water aware­ness when I made an oil spill and dis­cov­ered that

oil in park­ing lots was the num­ber one rea­son our aquatic world is dying. We dump the equiv­a­lent of 100 Exxon Valdez oil spills into the North Amer­i­can envi­ron­ment each and every year.

Watch this video that gives you an overview of the prob­lem. It will really open your eyes.

If you would like to help with this project of sav­ing the oceans or what I call on the blog the Water­shed Res­cue Pro­gram, drop us a note. We are going to be doing fund rais­ing with schools so they can help spread the word and raise money to fix their local streams. If you know some stu­dents or a school that would like to par­tic­i­pate please e-mail us at info@oillift.net .

We are work­ing with retail­ers and com­mer­cial dis­trib­u­tors to sup­ply the alter­na­tive prod­ucts. We have retail­ers that not only sell the prod­uct; they have com­pletely elim­i­nated toxic clean­ers in their stores. You can watch an exam­ple of Gas Land Bar­be­cue in Sur­rey BC here. To become a green retailer sim­ple con­tact us today and

we will take care of you.

We also have an on-line sales pro­gram or what the inter­net tech’s call an affil­i­ate pro­gram were peo­ple can sign up and sell on line. If you are a pro­fes­sional on line sales per­son you could make some seri­ous money and help a good cause. If you have used our prod­ucts you can get a link for your blog or face book and sim­ply refer the program.

The money you make you can use to reduce or elim­i­nate your clean­ing cost sim­ply by telling the truth about my prod­ucts. This is not MLM or a get rich quick scam,

I’m sim­ply giv­ing you adver­tis­ing dol­lars back that would nor­mally be spent on ads with women danc­ing around with mops.

Here is the link http://oillift.net/Make-Money-with-Oil-Lift-Affiliates-Login-Here.html

We are also work­ing to set up dis­tri­b­u­tion for all coun­tries, areas and mar­kets around the world. In short, by pro­vid­ing far bet­ter prod­ucts that replaces the prod­ucts that are

caus­ing the harm so peo­ple will not switch back to their self-destructive behav­ior. Sus­tain­able con­sump­tion is the solu­tion yet it starts with aware­ness. If you run a water­shed group and want to help, we can help set up a fund rais­ing pro­gram for you or you can sign up to the affil­i­ate pro­gram and use the money to raise funds. Maybe you could even help stu­dents start their own water­shed or water aware­ness group?

15. The Clean­ing Prod­ucts Game of Musi­cal Chairs

Do you remem­ber play­ing musi­cal chairs as a kid? It wasn’t any fun when you were the only kid who did not get a chair.

What you may not real­ize is that you’re still play­ing the game when it comes to clean­ing products.

When you go into a store you see this huge aisle of clean­ers.  So you choose a cleaner that says it will work on what­ever you’re try­ing to clean.  You take it home; you try it; it works on some things and it doesn’t work on oth­ers.  Next time you’re in the store, you choose another cleaner and take it home and it works on some things and it doesn’t work on oth­ers.   This goes on and on.  A few months later, all the labels have changed, they say new and improved, etc.  So, you start all over again.  Even­tu­ally, you end up with a house filled with poi­sons.  Now to get rid of these, you either spray the poi­son around the house or you pour it down the drain.  To add insult to injury, if you pack up all these clean­ers and try to dis­pose of them, you’ll dis­cover they’re clas­si­fied as haz­ardous waste.  Can I offer you a chair?

16.Your Choices in Cleaners

In the first edi­tion of this book­let, I said “Sim­ply put, use bak­ing soda and vine­gar and some elbow grease or choose a valid Eco-certified cleaner.” A lot of peo­ple came back to me and said “this is not enough infor­ma­tion”. So OK, let me put it this way. For over 98% of clean­ing jobs you only need two clean­ers. These clean­ers need to be Eco-logo cer­ti­fied, have mul­ti­ple uses, be true con­cen­trates (not this one to three non­sense, 20 to1) and actu­ally work much bet­ter then the toxic stuff.

This means you save money, you save time and you save yourself.

You need an alka­line cleaner for greases, oils, fats and stains and then just gen­eral clean­ing. This is 90% of clean­ing. Bak­ing soda does this or you can step up to an indus­trial strength cleaner like my prod­uct Oil Lift™. You can see how it works with this video

You need an acidic cleaner for met­als, tile, grout and other sim­i­lar hard sur­faces. Vine­gar does this and it will prob­a­bly amaze you that I make an indus­trial strength metal tile and grout cleaner.

This is about 8% of all clean­ing jobs. To see this work­ing watch this video at  The remain­ing 2% is when a sol­vent is needed to remove, for exam­ple, black felt marker.

You can buy job spe­cific cleaner for spe­cial appli­ca­tions or just because you like hav­ing a spe­cific bot­tle for a spe­cific task. I make spe­cial clean­ers for all sorts of appli­ca­tions and all sorts of indus­tries from clean­ing air­planes to break­ing up tar sands; how­ever, for most sit­u­a­tions these are sim­ply not needed. So sim­plify your life and get two prod­ucts that work. If you want to try a free sam­ple, drop us a note and we will sup­ply a 125ml or 4oz bot­tle of con­cen­trate when you pay the ship­ping and handling.

Remem­ber no cleaner works on every­thing so if you get stuck after you have switched, you can always drop us a note and we can see how to help. Send dig­i­tal pic­tures if you can with lots of information.

17.Ending the game

As humans, we do a lot of stu­pid things. Hope­fully when we’re edu­cated we change our behav­ior.  To para­phrase Albert Ein­stein, “the def­i­n­i­tion of insan­ity is doing the same thing over and over again and expect­ing dif­fer­ent results”.

My goal, and another rea­son I founded my com­pany, was to prove to peo­ple that they can have the clean­ing results they want, save money and stop the destruc­tion of our aquatic world.  To accom­plish this goal, peo­ple need to know the truth about what they buy, be it a ser­vice or prod­uct.  This is why I wrote this guide to help you make wiser, informed decisions.

The only caveat to this propo­si­tion is you actu­ally need the replace­ment prod­uct that really works far bet­ter than the toxic prod­ucts.  This is why we cre­ated patented “Oil Lift

and Lift brand clean­ers™”.  As I said at the begin­ning of the book “My hope is that when you fin­ish read­ing this book, you will take action and pack up your toxic cleaners

And take them to the haz­ardous waste dis­posal cen­ter where they belong.” I really hope that I have con­vinced you to do so and that you will pass this book along to your friends and fam­ily to do the same.

I am not going to try to sell you on using my prod­uct. What I will do is pro­vide you the list of celebrity endorse­ments for my prod­uct and green think­ing so that you can check it out for your­self. READ BELOW

I also have lots of videos on ‘You Tube’ you can watch. Sub­scribe to the site while you are there so you can be kept up to date. www.youtube.com/user/oillift

If you choose to become my cus­tomer, and I hope you do, please write us at info@oillift.net and let us know what you cleaned and any other tips and help­ful hints.

Thanks for being a part of the solu­tion, and please post a com­ment or question

This non-toxic bio-degradable sub­stance from British Colum­bia draws the oil up out of the asphalt, brick or con­crete and puts it into a water sus­pen­sion where it will not stain the sur­face around the stain. Although you should soak up as much as you can, you can actu­ally hose off the liq­uid with­out mak­ing more of a mess. Although even this will not com­pletely remove all stains (where was that dri­ve­way sealer before you dripped oil on your dri­ve­way?) it works as well or bet­ter than the tra­di­tional clean­ers with­out the side effects of spread­ing the stain, eat­ing the sur­face or pol­lut­ing the envi­ron­ment worse than the oil.”

“You’ve heard us talk about Oil Lift™ on the radio, maybe seen us with Oil Lift™ on TV, along with a trade show. It’s a rev­o­lu­tion­ary prod­uct that no home should be without.

Here are just a few of some good clean­ing appli­ca­tion for Oil Lift™: car, truck and heavy equip­ment, engine, hub caps and tires, wash­ing vehi­cles, brakes parts, oily cloths, tar on cars, oil on shoes or boots, tool boxes, oil on cement, oil on asphalt floors ‚vehi­cle wind­shields, vinyl inte­ri­ors, plastics,bathroom, kitchens, stoves, bar­be­cues, tile grout, boat bilges, plas­tic shower stalls, oil on log cab­ins, soap scum, cof­fee pots, fibre­glass, clean­ing ther­mos, remov­ing grease stains from clothes………. And guess what, it’s an envi­ron­men­tally friendly prod­uct that works!”

“When every home and busi­ness in the world adopts a “toxic free approach” to clean­ing we will sig­nif­i­cantly reduce our impact …

…on creeks, rivers, lakes and oceans. Kevin Daum and his team at Save the Oceans Inc. have invented an amaz­ing line of Eco-certified clean­ers that every­one should know about and use. The think­ing behind these prod­ucts needs to be repli­cated through­out the entire busi­ness community.”

“Oil Lift™ and the patented oil clean up and recy­cling process is one of the most remark­able inven­tions of the 21 ^st cen­tury.

Drop by drop it is help­ing to save our oceans by clean­ing up oil and elim­i­nat­ing the need for toxic clean­ers and sol­vents.”

Pro­fes­sional Clean­ers for the Film Industry

‘It all starts at home’ . While the Pro-Go-Green move­ment is becom­ing big busi­ness in this life­time, unfor­tu­nately there are many ‘wanna be’s’ that are still mar­ket­ing and sell­ing harm­ful prod­ucts, while using a fake ‘green type’ pro­to­col to their pack­ag­ing and adver­tis­ing. Truly it’s the same old harm­ful stuff, just pack­aged differently.

Please know what you’re buy­ing and become edu­cated in not sup­port­ing these fakes as they are just as harm­ful to you and the environment.

Eco-certification is the way to go. Look for those seals. Rita Mita Maid is now listed in the “Green Ser­vices” with the BC Film Com­mis­sion and we wouldn’t be there had it not been for the ‘Oil Lift’ prod­ucts and processes that Kevin Daum and his team have invented. In my eyes he’s a hero in this ‘Go for Green Move­ment’ in try­ing to save the oceans and planet and expos­ing the prod­ucts and the ingre­di­ents that con­tinue to wreak havoc on your health. But remem­ber, IT ALL STARTS AT HOME.
