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!
