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 "Bioremediation" different 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.
Who and what is Ozzy
Ozzy is the name we selected for the blend of non-
pathogenic (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
How well does OzzyJuice clean?
OzzyJuice is extraordinarily powerful and cleans
®
extremely well. OzzyJuice
down the surface tension between the grease and the
part rather than dissolving it; the grease actually lifts off
the parts leaving behind clean surfaces. Note that while
OzzyJuice cleans differently than dangerous solvents or
®
mineral spirits, it cleans just as well.
Will OzzyJuice clean carburators,
transmissions, aluminium, brakes and anything
else in my shop?
YES. Not only is OzzyJuice
it will not damage non-metal components that may be
attached to the parts being cleaned such as rubber or
plastic fittings. As with all parts cleaners, some items are
going to become cleaner at different rates than others
due to the degree and type of grime encountered.
How often do I change the fluid (OzzyJuice
If you are changing your OzzyMat
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
