FAQs
How do I know if the product is safe for my granite countertops?
The Ocean Potion formula is pH neutral and designed to be safe for most common household hard surfaces, including sealed granite. However, to be certain, it is always recommended to test the solution on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Can I use this cleaner on my hardwood floors?
Yes, this cleaner is safe for sealed hardwood floors. Ensure you use a damp (not soaking wet) cloth or mop and wipe the floor dry afterwards to prevent excess moisture.
How long does the cleaning power of the bacteria last?
The natural bacteria continue to work for an extended period after application, helping to maintain cleanliness. The exact duration can vary based on environmental factors, but it provides a residual cleaning effect that lasts longer than a single wipe.
Why is the product shipped as a powder?
Shipping the product in powder form significantly reduces the weight and volume compared to liquid cleaners. This cuts down on transportation fuel consumption and associated carbon emissions, making it a more sustainable choice.
Do I need a special spray bottle?
No, you can use any standard 500-750ml trigger spray bottle. The product comes with a sticker to label your repurposed bottle.
What is the shelf life of the Biopod concentrate?
Unmixed Biopods should be stored in a cool, dry place and typically have a shelf life of 1-2 years. Once mixed with water, it is best to use the solution within a few weeks.
Is this product suitable for people with allergies?
The product is free from harsh chemicals, VOCs, and artificial fragrances, making it a good option for many individuals with sensitivities. However, if you have specific allergies, always check the ingredient list or test on a small area first.
Troubleshooting
Solution does not dissolve completely.
Ensure you are using warm water, as it helps the Biopod dissolve more effectively. Shake the bottle vigorously for at least 30 seconds. If problems persist, try a new Biopod.
Surface appears streaky after cleaning.
This can sometimes happen if too much solution is used or if the cloth is not clean. Try using a lighter mist and a clean, lint-free cloth. Ensure the Biopod was fully dissolved.
Reduced cleaning effectiveness over time.
The natural bacteria's effectiveness can decrease over time, especially in very hot or cold conditions, or if exposed to strong disinfectants. Mix a fresh batch of the solution. For persistent issues, ensure the surface is clean from other cleaning chemical residues.
Product has an unusual smell.
A mild, natural fermentation odor is normal. However, if the smell is strong or foul, the batch may have degraded. Discard the solution and mix a fresh one.
