More on cleaning-
I found this site on the web and it too is in Australia. If someone-with more
knowledge-would email with this gentleman-he signs as an Environmental Director-maybe we
can get better answers. Note his address and the web address is below.
I think we should "elect" one person with time and knowledge to work on this.
Would also be nice if INPCRP could be copied on correspondence back and forth.
So, who becomes the spokesperson?
Thank you for your interest and questions. Enzymes are a very effective cleaner, but have
the wonderful benefit to be formulated for specific jobs. Here is what this means. The
No Rinse is "perfect" for restaurant floors and cafeteria flooors, kitchen
floors. Any place where there are heavy deposits of Fats, Oils and Greases - No Rinse is
the finest product available for those specific conditions. We have a Medical Enzyme
Cleaner that is used by Hospitals, Dentists and Emergency Medical Ambulance services - it
is specifically formulated for Organic Body Fluids (Blood, urine, plasma etc.) So when
you ask me what I think about tombstone cleaning or restoration... I would like to ask you
to be as specific as possible about the type of "composite" or "dirt"
"debris" that you need to clean off of the tombstones. If your cleaning is
debris such as "moss, mildew and animal fluids" (bird droppings as an example),
then I believe the Mold Remediation Formulation may be the best choice. We also have an
Industrial Floor Cleaner that is formulated to breakdown grease and petroleum oils. If
the tombstones are located near cities and smoke stacks and automobile and truck exhaust
and fumes, perhaps this formula may be best? My first thought would be the Mold
Remediation Formulation - as tombstones receive all types of standard climatic weather
conditions and organic buildup, but without having a good understanding of the major dirt
or debris you must clean, I wouldn't want to suggest one over another without knowing.
I can say that the No Rinse is probably not the best cleaner for this specific
application.
Please let me know what type of debris or dirt you must clean and I would be pleased to
work with you. I hope that this answered your question without flooding you with too much
information, but that is the beauty of Enzymes - and the fact that they are 100%
Biodegradable, totally Environmentally Safe and Friendly and safe for the cleaners
[applicators] as well. Again I thank you and look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards,
Nick Martello, Environmental Director

Subject: Re: [INPCRP] Wet and Forget - Product
Hi gang:
Just wanted you to know that I contacted the "wet and forget" web site and
asked for pricing. I also asked if they had a sample, I was told the
smallest amount was about $45.00. I also asked about did their product
remove the lichen that was so bad it was like a tar surface that was
impossible to remove and also that penetrated the stone. A lady replied to
me that she was assured that this product would work wonders. She would
suggest that you would pre-spray the real bad areas and let set for 30
minutes and then spray again the whole area and repeat if necessary. She
assured me that this would work. She also said that it was for anytype of
stone, cement, etc. Did any of you look at the pictures displayed on the
web site? The look good in the finished one. Anyway, if I remember
correctly, this company had an Australia address. Also their literature
said it can be used on tombstones, but does not say what kind. Just filling
in information no recomendation.
