The next product I would like to discuss is Bio Barrier. I wrote about this product last year but I will mention it again after speaking on Citrus X-terior earlier this week. Bio Barrier is a great follow up product to any cleaning where molds and mildews have been a problem. Like with roof shingles - once the black Gloeocapsa Magma algae has been killed and removed, or with vinyl siding or wood decking- once the green, yellow, or black mold and any mildew has been killed and removed.
Bio Barrier needs to be applied right after a through cleaning of the surface has been done and the area to be treated is thoroughly dried. Bio Barrier is not a mold or mildew killer but rather a growth inhibitor. Bio Barrier protects a surface it is applied to from the harmful micro-organisms that cause odor and mold growth from coming back. A properly treated surface will have effective protection for 6-12 months depending on the environment and frequency of exposure to direct water or indirect moisture.
Bio Barrier does not have to be used on the whole house, roof or deck. You can locate, mark or document, like with photographs or a drawing of the problem areas before cleaning is done to easily locate them later for treatment. Bio Barrier is used straight, not diluted. It can be sprayed, sponged or wiped onto the surface for treatment just so a light but complete wetting of the product is applied to the surface material. Bio Barrier does not have to be used to soak, saturate or be allowed to run down or pool on a surface to be effective.
Bio Barrier can be used as an add on to your normal cleaning as an added value, additionally priced service. For just pennies you could be able to give a no growth guarantee with your cleaning that would be a perceived added value to your customer.
Say for instance you clean a house and a few days later come back to apply Bio Barrier just to the problem areas. If you have left a sign in the yard stating your company name and number, plus left cards with your current customer with a referral offer, you may very well be coming back to that area to do a new job besides doing the Bio Barrier treatment and moving your sign to a different house's yard in the same neighborhood.
Bio Barrier will make you look good to your customers and if you did a quality first cleaning job it should bring you added word of mouth business as well when the mold does not grow back in just a few months. It also gives you a leg up as to why you should come back on a yearly basis to clean the house and retreat for the mold.
Bio Barrier is available in 1 gallon bottles and 5 gallon pails. You can call to order Bio Barrier at 800-762-7911 or go to our web site http://www.soapwarehouse.biz/ where you will find a Data Sheet and other valuable information about Bio Barrier.

Citrus X-terior House Wash Cleaner
I will be writing some entries this year about certain products that we carry, depending on when they are the most popular or when I may have been asked about them by a customer. So I will start with this newer Soap Warehouse House Wash "Citrus X-terior" for the Spring cleaning season.
The Citrus X-terior product has some great features: nice citrus scent, it can be used with bleach, it is very economical in price, but is still a good cleaner even when using at the top of its dilution rate of 1:50, non hazardous or DOT regulated, and it is biodegradable.
The advantages of using Citrus X-terior instead of using just straight bleach with water for house washing are the following:
One, you can use less bleach than you would normally use if you where just house washing with bleach and water alone. This reduces the effects bleach alone can have on plants and grass, without reducing the reason you are using bleach, which is to kill molds and mildews while removing the colored stains that come with them from the surfaces of the house.
For an explanation of how bleach works please take a look at the article I wrote on bleach for the "Cleaner Times" magazine. http://www.cleanertimes.com/pdfdocs/2009CTMag/Clearing%20the%20Air%20on%20Bleach%202009-02.pdf
Two, you have the advantage that you are truly using a soap cleaner to wash and remove dirt, oils and other harmful residues from the surface of the house, not just changing their chemical makeup to become invisible. This will extend the life of the paint, vinyl, hardy plank or brick surface of the house while improving its appearance.
Third, the clean citrus scent masks the strong bleach odor and leaves the customer with a more pleasant lasting reminder, than that of the just bleach.
Now Citrus X-terior is not for every job you may have, especially with the extremely dirty or neglected homes, but for a general once a year house cleaning product, Citrus X-terior is a very good one to have available and will make you money.
Citrus X-terior is available in a 1 gallon bottle, 5 gallon pail or a 55 gallon kit. Call the office to order 800-762-7911 or for current pricing, or go to our website: http://www.soapwarehouse.biz/.
