Some Common Questions

We package our bio enzymes in upcycled plastic bottles collected from local scrap dealers (raddiwalas) as part of our sustainability efforts. These bottles may differ slightly in shape and size, but the quantity of the liquid is always consistent, as we fill and check each bottle by weight, not by volume. This ensures you receive the correct amount every time, regardless of bottle shape.

Bio enzymes are naturally fermented products, and colour variations are completely normal! The differences occur due to factors like:

• Seasonal changes in ingredients 
• Fermentation conditions (temperature, time, microbial activity) 
• Storage conditions after fermentation

These natural shifts do not affect the quality or effectiveness of the product. Instead, they are a beautiful reminder of the living, chemical-free nature of bioenzymes.

While we often think of bacteria as harmful, there are actually two types — harmful bacteria (which cause illness) and good bacteria (which support health). Bio enzymes use natural, beneficial bacteria that help break down organic waste like grease and dirt. These good bacteria outcompete harmful germs, creating a cleaner, healthier, and more balanced environment in your home. Just like the good bacteria in our gut keep us healthy, bio enzymes do the same for our living spaces — safely and naturally!

Yes, plain bio enzyme can work as a multipurpose cleaner, but in its pure form, it is watery. It may feel unfamiliar or less convenient, especially for those transitioning from conventional chemical-based cleaners.

To make the switch to natural cleaning more manageable and more effective, we have created specific formulations by adding naturally derived ingredients like mild foaming agents or thickeners. These make the cleaners feel and perform more like what people are used to while still being completely safe, eco-friendly, and chemical-free. Each cleaner is thoughtfully crafted to suit different needs, ensuring a smoother experience without compromising sustainability. These minor enhancements allow our bio-enzyme-based cleaners to feel more familiar while staying safe, natural, and eco-friendly. We aim to make sustainable living simple, effective, and enjoyable.

We are so glad to see your concern for the planet! Our bottles are upcycled and hold minimal value. Instead of returning them to us (which would consume extra resources, time, and energy), we encourage you to responsibly recycle them locally. The best way is to hand them over to your nearby scrap collector, who will ensure they are sorted, processed, and recycled correctly. This reduces waste, supports recycling efforts, and also helps provide livelihoods to waste pickers. Returning the bottles to us would create unnecessary carbon emissions and likely cost more than the bottles' actual worth. So, recycling them in your area is the most sustainable choice.

Yes! Multiple studies have shown that bio-enzyme-based cleaners can help restore water bodies by breaking down organic waste, sewage, and pollutants.

For example:

• A study by IIT Delhi found that bio enzymes reduced pollutants like total dissolved solids, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and faecal coliforms in the Yamuna River.
• Another study by the University of Massachusetts showed bio enzymes helped lower nitrogen and phosphorus, which cause harmful algal blooms, in an urban pond.

Many such case studies prove bio enzymes' positive impact on water health.

Commercial detergents use a mix of surfactants, solvents, and strong chemicals to quickly dissolve dirt, grease, and grime, giving instant results. However, they often leave behind residues where harmful bacteria can regrow once the surface dries.

In comparison, cleaners contain good bacteria and enzymes like lipase, amylase & other enzymes – that target different organic stains. These work naturally and gently, breaking down dirt over time. While bio cleaners may take longer to show visible results and often need consistent use, they are safer for you and the environment and keep working even after cleaning! Lab tests have shown our bio cleaners are 99% effective. Plus, they provide a longer-lasting clean by preventing harmful bacteria from returning quickly.

Yes, bio cleaners are entirely water-soluble. We always recommend diluting them before use, as water helps activate the enzymes for effective cleaning.

Plain bio enzymes do not expire — they remain stable and effective for a long time. However, when additives like natural foaming or thickening agents are included, the texture may change after around 9 months, but the cleaning effectiveness stays the same. So, while the look and feel of the product might alter slightly over time, the power of the enzymes continues to work just as well.

Bio enzymes are safe for all materials, including earthen cookware. For best results, reduce the dilution:Use 20 ml dishwash in 100 ml water. Since earthenware is porous, handle it carefully. You can refer to this guide for detailed washing tips:
