    Hi Mike,

    Neither of the two active "chemicals" are "natural enzymes". At least both
    agents have antimicrobial activity. I've got an outstanding Mississippi
    beachfront property (swamp land) for sale - any takers?

    Caveat emptor,

    Doug

    Hi,

    A member of upper management from our firm has given me a sample of product
    to investigate.

    Can anyone can provide feed-back on this?

    The product is a "chemical free, 100% natural enzyme based EPA approved
    product, the most efficient disinfectant in nature. Kills protozoans,
    bacteria, viruses, molds, mildew, fungus and parasites".

    Active ingredients: n-Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride, and n-Alkyl
    Ethylbenzyl Ammonium Chloride.

    Sounds like snake oil to me.

    Thanks!
