Removing Oil on the Floor

Recently we did a Google search using the term "how to clean oil from floor" which resulted in about 16,100,000 pages.

Powerful soaps in WonderMicrobes break the hydrocarbons into minute molecules. The microbes then attach themselves to the contaminants and reduce them to carbon dioxide and water. The microbial cultures continue enzyme production until all oil contaminants and other organic wastes are consumed. WonderMicrobes is non-toxic, non-caustic, non-corrosive, non-pathogenic (harmless) and is biodegradable.

Application

WonderMicrobes effectively removes surface and embedded stains from spilled petroleum products on concrete and asphalt garage floors, driveways, shop floors, loading docks, fueling areas, parking lots and oil storage areas. It inoculates the contaminants with bacterial cells and oxygen catalysts necessary for complete biodegradation. This formula can also be used for washing soil, sand, gravel and loose rocks and for cleaning heavy machinery.

• Equally successful for light petroleum, lubricating oil, gasoline, kerosene and diesel spills
• Effective for cleaning cooking oils and fats including grease trap maintenance.
• Shortens clean-up times for oil spills and stains
• Cleans oily equipment, vehicles, tools, floors, stoves, cabinets and carpets.
• Cleans up spills from hydraulic brake lines and equipment failures
• Contains no petroleum distillates or solvents
• Contains essential microbial nutrients and oxygen catalysts
• Enhances biodegradation above and below ground surface, when used as recommended.
• Economical and ecologically sound
• Eliminate removal and replacement of contaminated materials

Properties

	pH 7.0 - 8.0

Instructions

Shake or mix thoroughly before dispensing.

Hard Surface Cleaning: Dampen the contaminated surface, apply WonderMicrobes and allow it to work for 20 -30 minutes, then brush and rinse. Keep the work site damp during treatment and repeat if necessary.

Porous Surface Cleaning: Scrape surface, dampen and apply product. Leave on the surface a minimum 2-3 hours. Use burlap cloth or similar breathable moisture holding covering if longer periods of time are necessary. Scrub the surface periodically if dirt is heavily compacted. Rinse.

For soil remediation: Apply 1.0 gallons per cubic yard of soil to be treated. Soak the soil thoroughly after application. Keep soil damp during remediation which may take several weeks.

Tank Cleaning: Dilute 1:3 and apply by sprayer. Leave on the surface for 10 - 15 minutes, to allow penetration, and remove with a pressure washer (use dechlorinated water). 1 gallon of concentrate should treat 100+ feet of tank surface.
Tanks that have larger quantities of remaining hydrocarbons should be filled with water and aerated during remediation period.

Precautions/Limitations: Read and follow precautions on MSDS. Pretest new equipment finishes by applying to a small area first. Optimal performance is on damp concrete surfaces.

Dilutions:

• Full-strength - heavy aged oil stains (wet the surface with water before applying. Follow first application with diluted product for better activity)
• 1:3 - tool cleanup and parts cleanup
• 1:5 fresh oil stains
• 1:8 general cleaning.

Storage

WonderMicrobes should be stored between 10º-40ºC (50º-104ºF). Avoid prolonged exposure to higher temperatures. Keep from freezing.
