Back In BIZ!

[supersuds]

I have to say that for greasy stains I haven't had much luck without pretreating - ymmv, as they say. That is, motor oil and such. But if it bothers you so much this is certainly worth a try.

Incidentally, the Wikipedia article on Biz has another use listed besides laundry.

"In addition, the product is often used in a non-laundry context for cleaning the tissue off bones, particularly skulls that have interior cavities difficult to scour by mechanical action. Biz is recommended by the Alaska state government and the FBI."

Ha

So if you ever find yourself with a nasty brain matter stain in your favorite shirt, Biz will be able to shift it free. Good to know.

Well,

Due to financial constraints, I bought a box of Clorox 2 at Walmart earlier. Laundry is being done tomorrow, so I'll let you all know how it performs. I'll also be using the new scoop All Oxi-Active.

"financial constraints"

Well at least you didn't completely cheap out and get Purex 2.
I tried that stuff and its pretty much worthless.

My neighbor got me started on Biz bleach. I was sold. I got my mother hooked on it, and she used it until she passed away. Excellent product!!

I compared the ingredient list on Clorox 2 and Biz. From what I could see, they're completely the same make up. However, I'm thinking that Biz might have a bit more enzymes to their formula.

Spook, I was SERIOUSLY considering Purex or Great Value brands, but as Clorox 2 has been around longer, I went with that instead.

Well, I have to say.......

I couldn't wait for the shout to be done. I went out and bought a box of Biz over the weekend and washed a load of colors yesterday with Biz. Like Appnut and everyone promised, it took out all the stains and splatters on the colored T-shirts. Well, not all, but then again i'm not sure that the fabric softern, (final touch) didn't create some new one. I then did a load of lights, Queen sized sheets, 4 pillow cases, kitchen towels, napkins, and a white polyblend table cloth. The table cloth was stained from wing sauce. It didn't removed all the wing sauce stains but overall I have to say i'm very pleased. Goodbye shout, HEEEEELLLLLOOOOOO BIZ !!!!!!!!!

Let em soak overnight with a solution of Biz...I think the box tells how.

Biz and Flesh Removal

Human flesh, hair, fluids and so forth are largely made up of protein. Biz contains only one enzyme, and that is designed to digest said substance, thus it's not the bleach or even Biz per se that one wants but protease enzymes.

 

[supersuds]

The current boxes of Biz say that they contain EnzaMix -- no specifics, but it does sound as if they have more than one enzyme now. The trademark was applied for in April 2010.

Wonder If

P&G is still making this product in their factories, or have the new owners of the brand gone somewhere else.

Biz was the first and only activated oxygen bleach sold in the United States, based upon patents held by P&G. Those same patents extended the range of said bleaching sytem to Oxydol and Tide detergents, and is the basis of what one finds along those lines in every P&G laundry product that contains oxygen bleach.

Cannot imagine P&G giving up such secrets.
