Frequently Asked Questions
ASK ME
What is BIOREMEDIATION?
Bioremediation is the use of biological agents such as microbes
or plants to break down or neutralize “hazardous substances”
or “contaminants” thereby removing dangerous chemicals from
the environment. The process of bioremediation is listed as
one of the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) innovative
technologies.
How is “Bioremediating” dierent from
“Biodegradable”?
BIOREMEDIATION is the use of natural biological agents such as
microbes to break down or neutralize “hazardous substances” or
“contaminants”. FOR EXAMPLE: In the SmartWasher
®
, Ozzy
®
(s),
natural biological agents or microbes, break down the carbon-
based contaminants (grease and oil) and turn them into harmless
carbon dioxide and water. BIODEGRADABLE means that a
substance or mixture is subject to or could be broken down by
biological agents into smaller compounds, in its virgin state only
by natural means.
Who and what is Ozzy
®
?
Ozzy
®
is the name we selected for the blend of nonpathogenic
(harmless to humans) microbes in the SmartWasher
®
system.
Our microbes, Ozzy
®
and his friends, eat potentially harmful
hydrocarbon wastes in the SmartWasher
®
and transform these
wastes into very small quantities of carbon dioxide and water.
Similar types of microbes have been used for many years in
various bioremediation applications, such as oil spills, including
the Gulf of Mexico spill in 2010, and the Exxon Valdez disaster in
1989.
What happens to the grease, oil and other
contaminants in the SmartWasher
®
?
Grease, oil and other contaminants are bioremediated in the
SmartWasher
®
- transformed into harmless, non-hazardous
by-products such as carbon dioxide and water. Particulate
matter, such as sand, grit, dirt and paint chips are trapped in the
OzzyMat
®
to be disposed of properly.
How well does OzzyJuice
®
clean?
OzzyJuice
®
is extraordinarily powerful and cleans extremely well.
OzzyJuice
®
is a surfactant that breaks down the surface tension
between the grease and the part rather than dissolving it; the
grease actually lifts o the parts leaving behind clean surfaces.
Note that while OzzyJuice
®
cleans dierently than dangerous
solvents or mineral spirits, it cleans just as well.
Will OzzyJuice
®
clean carburetors, transmissions,
aluminum, brakes and anything else in my shop?
YES. Not only is OzzyJuice
®
eective on these parts, it will not
damage non-metal components that may be attached to the
parts being cleaned such as rubber or plastic ttings. As with
all parts cleaners, some items are going to become cleaner at
dierent rates than others due to the degree and type of grime
encountered.
How often do I change the uid (Juice
®
)?
If you are changing your OzzyMat
®
a minimum of once a month,
under normal use and with proper maintenance, you should
never have to change or haul away used OzzyJuice
®
. This is one
of the biggest advantages of the SmartWasher
®
system. Ozzy
®
(s)
microbes clean contaminants from the uid through the process
of bioremediation. This leaves you with clean OzzyJuice
®
to work
with day after day.
Why is the SmartWasher
®
heated?
Two reasons: First, it keeps Ozzy
®
eating at an optimal level
to clean the solution as quickly as possible. Secondly, warm
solution simply cleans better than cold solution. An added
benet to warm solution: it makes it more enjoyable to work with,
especially in winter.
Why doesn’t OzzyJuice
®
damage my hands like
solvents?
OzzyJuice
®
is a pH-neutral, non-caustic, water-based formula
that will not dry, crack or irritate the skin. Solvents are caustic
and pull fat cells from the skin, possibly causing extreme drying,
redness, blisters, and other dermatological problems.
Can I use OzzyJuice
®
in other parts washers?
We do not recommend that OzzyJuice
®
be used in other parts
washers. The OzzyJuice
®
and the SmartWasher
®
were made
to work together with variables such as specic temperatures,
compensation for foam, and so on. Also remember, the Ozzy
®
(s)
microbes are in the OzzyMat
®
and if the OzzyJuice
®
is used in
another machine it will not have the Ozzy
®
(s) microbes to clean
the uid.
