Healthy Cleaning
Posted by Paige
For the month of October, we will be discussing Green Cleaning and products that don’t pollute your Home or harm your indoor air quality. So feel free to email suggestions and stories to me at paige@blueridgeecoshop.com.
The average American spends 90% of their time indoors. And indoor air quality in most cities, is far worse than outdoor air. We create the poor air quality in our homes by using toxins including cleaners and paints, as well as tracking in chemicals on our shoes and body’s everyday. Improve your indoor air quality by rid your home of cleaners that are toxic to your health containing bleach, ammonia, formaldehyde, and many other harsh chemicals. Non-Toxic cleaners clean just as well and don’t subject you and your family to unnecessary chemicals.
This week I am highlighting one of my favorite green cleaning products: BioKleen’s BacOut.

Haven’t ever used BacOut? Try it. It’s by far one of my most popular cleaning products. BacOut is an enzyme based cleaner. It is perfect for any of your organic spills and stains that need to be gently cleaned. The enzymes in the cleaner literally eat the organic material and remove the stain.
Great uses for BacOut:
- Pet Stains - With cats, my couch, bamboo floors, rugs, pretty much everywhere, gets sprayed down with BacOut regularly to remove pet problem areas. I’ve found on upholstery, the best way to lift the stain is to spray the stain with BacOut, then lay a wet towel over the stain. As the towel drys, it lifts out the stain.
- Bathroom Cleaning - The enzymes will also eat uric salts. (A nice way to say dried urine). Spray the outside and inside of the toilet bowl and let it sit to remove fowl odors.
- Mold Cleaning - BacOut also works great in the shower removing soap scum and mold.
- Laundry Stains - Pre treat laundry stains when they happen. It is gentle enough to spray and throw into the hamper until the next time you do wash. My favorite food stain story is when I inevitably spill coffee on myself at the shop. I have literally sprayed BacOut on my coffee stained paints, continued to wear them, and by the afternoon the spill has vanished. No water added. I simply sprayed and continued on with my day!
- Smelly Sinks - Spray BacOut in your sink or down your kitchen sink drain when foul odors arise!
- Cloth Diapers - Many of my Mom customers swear by BacOut for getting out cloth diaper stains and odors. Even old stains!
- Kitchen Compost Bins and Trash Cans - Remove stains and smells from your kitchen compost bin by spraying the bin with BacOut after emptying it.
I am not the only fan of BacOut. Many hotels in town buy BacOut for cleaning rooms. It works.
I’ve been using bacout for years and love it. It works great on pet bedding!

They’re great for sweaty pads, too. They’re the only product I’ve seen work on rollerderby pads and keep working post-practice. I highly recommend it.
