    Do you want to harness the power of Mother Earth


    With the ever changing environment and the constant threat or viral and bacterial warfare  it has become evident that our immune systems are  being attacked daily. With that said people want to feel safe but not at the expense of using harsh chemical to do the job. Because of that, a new green clean service was born utilizing a non toxic proprietary blend of CDC approved Hydrogen Peroxide along with Thyme oil (the active ingredient in most all natural plant based disinfectants) formulated for use in a atomizing cold ULV (ultra low volume) fogging system allowing a no touch solution to sanitizing large areas quickly and efficiently leaving a fresh herbaceous scent and no toxic residue.

    Hydrogen Peroxide can be recognized as one of the safest types of disinfectants, both for human health and the environment. Most people are familiar with the hydrogen peroxide that is available in a brown bottle in the medicine cabinet. This is the 3% variety that can go on a wound or used as a mouthwash. Hydrogen peroxide excellent environmental footprint. The breakdown components are water and oxygen. It has a very good health and safety profile, too. If you can use 3% to wash your mouth out at the dentist, you can be pretty confident that your health risk from exposure to it is limited.

    Thyme oil comes from the perennial herb known as Thymus vulgaris. This herb is a member of the mint family, and it’s used for cooking, mouthwashes, potpourri and aromatherapy. It’s native to southern Europe from the western Mediterranean to southern Italy. Due to the herb’s essential oils, it has a number of health benefits; in fact, these benefits have been recognized across the Mediterranean for thousands of years. Thyme oil is antiseptic, antibacterial, antispasmodic, hypertensive and has calming properties.

    These green ingredients are effective in killing bacteria and pathogens in your home, auto, office or facility. Don't compromise when it comes to your cleaning needs. Remember our slogan " It's Thyme To Clean!"

    My plan to implement a green clean service programs is relatively simple through my affiliation with Oxi-Thyme. The Oxi-Thyme System utilizes a non toxic proprietary blend of CDC approved Hydrogen Peroxide along with Thyme oil (the active ingredient in most all natural plant based disinfectants) formulated for use in a atomizing cold ULV (ultra low volume) fogging system allowing a no touch solution to sanitizing large areas quickly and efficiently leaving a fresh herbaceous scent and no toxic residue.

    Hydrogen peroxide is considered an environmentally safe alternative to chlorine-based bleaches as it breaks down into water and oxygen. Hydrogen peroxide is considered a stable and effective disinfectant by the CDC when used on inanimate objects.

    The essential oil of thyme contains the chemical thymol that disinfects by creating instability in the cell membranes of bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens this instability destroys the integrity of the cells, and the cell contents release and disperse, rendering them incapable of harming humans or organic surfaces
