Check out the Q&A below!
Adopting Bio-Zyme for Animal Enclosures
Bio-Zyme: Are you using Bio-Zyme Multipurpose for cleaning animal enclosures?
Jeremy O’Brien: Yes, we use a combination of Bio-Zyme Multi (Multipurpose) and Industrial, depending on the specific needs of each situation. The only exceptions are our reptile and invertebrate enclosures due to their sensitivity to toxins.
Ensuring Animal Safety and Cleaning Efficiency
Bio-Zyme: How long do the animals need to be out of the enclosures during cleaning?
Jeremy O’Brien: The duration varies by species, but all areas are thoroughly rinsed with fresh water before the animals are allowed back in.
Bio-Zyme: Has Bio-Zyme made the cleaning process faster?
Jeremy O’Brien: Absolutely. Bio-Zyme has made certain tasks easier, reduced mould and buildup, and in some areas, eliminated the need for a water blaster.
Enhanced Cleaning Performance
Bio-Zyme: How does Bio-Zyme compare to the products you previously used?
Jeremy O’Brien: In the Nutrition Centre, we’ve streamlined our cleaning supplies from seven products to just three: Bio-Zyme Multi, Industrial, and Glass Cleaner. Bio-Zyme not only cleans effectively but is also extremely safe to use.
Positive Impact on Drain Maintenance and Cost Efficiency
Bio-Zyme: What changes have you noticed in drain maintenance since switching to Bio-Zyme?
Jeremy O’Brien: Since we started using Bio-Zyme, we haven’t had any blocked drains, which used to be a frequent issue.
Bio-Zyme: Was the transition to Bio-Zyme smooth?
Jeremy O’Brien: Yes, the transition was seamless. Shelley provided excellent support, and the mixing stations have saved both time and money. The team has found it much simpler to use a single product for various tasks.
Financial Savings and Maintenance Improvements
Bio-Zyme: Have you seen a reduction in spending on cleaning products?
Jeremy O’Brien: Yes, we’re now saving approximately $3,000 per year. The blending stations in various parts of the zoo further reduce product consumption.
Bio-Zyme: How have the washroom services improved?
Jeremy O’Brien: Since implementing Bio-Zyme, we’ve noticed a significant reduction in mould, cleaner floor tiles, and fresher-smelling toilets.
Strong Recommendation for Bio-Zyme
Bio-Zyme: Would you recommend Bio-Zyme to others?
