Biokleen is a company\u00a0we have met before<\/a>.\u00a0 It\u2019s a company I have a great deal of time for and they have a great back story.\u00a0 Back in the 1980s, people were largely unaware of the\u00a0harmful effects of the insane chemicals<\/a>\u00a0that they were using in their homes and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA sales executive for a\nchemical supply company, at the time, Jim Rimer grew disturbed by the harmful\nside effects he witnessed among customers and colleagues, from skin rashes to\nrespiratory disease and worse. So, when his attempts to implement safety and\neducational training on the use of those products led to his firing, he vowed\nto find non-toxic, effective alternatives, and Biokleen was born.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\nspent his nights cleaning carpets and such as he studied the science of botany.\nShortly after, in a garage in 1989 Portland, the first cleaner he had ever\ncreated was born (All Purpose Cleaner II).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their\nsecond generation family-owned business keeps family and eco-friendly values at\nthe center of their production and products. Using plant-derived biodegradable\ningredients, their products hold lots of promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nwas excited to receive their Bac-Out Bathroom Cleaner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biokleen\u2019s\nBac-Out Bathroom Cleaner comes in a sizeable 32 ounce recyclable spray bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\nlooks very professional, displaying the promises of cleaning and deodorizing\nbathroom surfaces through the use of live enzyme cultures and lavender and lime\nextracts (more on that in a minute!) and eliminating tough stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While not an unpleasant smell, the fragrance of the cleaner is\nalmost overpowering, especially when sprayed on surfaces. I often prefer fragrance-free<\/a> options when available,\nbut Biokleen doesn\u2019t offer that option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If\nyou\u2019re sensitive to fragrances, you may want to look for a different review!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it clean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\nwas ready to see how well the cleaner worked. The directions say to spray and\nlet sit for 1-2 minutes before wiping clean, or for extra soiled or odorous\nsurfaces to let sit for 5-10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nlet the cleaner sit for longer on the shower and toilet surfaces while I worked\non the sinks and countertops. Not surprisingly, it did an excellent job of\nleaving the sinks, faucets, and countertop surfaces fresh and sparkling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After\n10 minutes, it was time to tackle the shower. The shower floor has lots of tiny\ngrooves where grimy build-up likes to hide. Mildew was building up on the\nshower doors along with soap scum on the wall below the shower caddy. It needed\nsome TLC!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
