How to use EM for cleaning & household
EM products can replace many of your household cleaners. From washing windows to adding it to the laundry, EM will help to prevent the growth of unwanted mould and bacteria. EM will eliminate odour on contact and leaves no scent behind so there are no annoying unnatural fragrances. As with our restaurant applications, EM-1/ EM-A can be added to water for cleaning the floors, cabinets, and counters in your kitchens and bathrooms. It is safe for all surfaces. A general cleaner dilution rate is 1 part EM-1/ EM-A to 20 parts water. Mix an equal amount of vinegar and you have a great window cleaner!
- Use EM-1 / EM-A in bath and for washing
- Use EM-1 / EM-A for living space, cupboards, beds, and cars
- Use EM-1 / EM-A in the kitchen and for kitchenware
- Use EM-1 / EM-A in the household for cleaning
