Why operators switch

One concentrate. Seven reasons it wins the bid.

  • Three products, the whole building

    Replaces your general-purpose, glass, degreaser, stainless and restroom SKUs — one line item, one thing to train a high-turnover crew on, less closet.

  • Neutral pH, so surfaces last

    No alkaline etch, no acid burn. Floors go longer between strip-and-refinish; stone, chrome and soft metals stay intact.

  • Hard water without acid

    Chelation lifts spotting and soap scum and keeps surfaces from scaling — no acid, no etching on chrome or stone.

  • Your most exposed crew, protected

    No quats, no harsh solvents, no signal word — removing a named cause of occupational asthma from the closet.

  • Clean during occupied hours

    No harsh odor unlocks a daytime or day-porter model, cutting night-shift lighting, HVAC and security costs.

  • A performance number you can publish

    95.64% soil removal (ASTM D4488) against an 80% Green Seal bar. Ask your current supplier what theirs is.

  • Made by fermentation, sourced in the U.S.

    Not petroleum, not palm oil. USDA Certified Biobased 100% on a 100% U.S.-sourced supply chain.

The Math · Per RTU Gallon, Diluted at 1:32
§ B-03 · Run the Numbers
The frame

You're not buying chemical. You're buying hours.

And per gallon, it's cheaper too.

Labor is 50–80% of a commercial cleaning contract. Expendable chemical is under 2%. So the number that decides a bid isn't cost per gallon — it's hours. A product that returns even a few percent of labor time wins decisively, whatever it costs by the drum.

One neutral-pH concentrate that cleans the whole building means fewer passes, less re-doing, fewer wrong-product incidents, and one thing to train a high-turnover crew on. And unlike the closet it replaces, we publish a performance number: 95.64% soil removal against an 80% Green Seal bar. Ask your current supplier what theirs is.

Indoor Environmental Quality

The cleaning bottle is an air-quality decision.

Americans spend 90% of their lives indoors. Cleaning chemistry is one of the largest sources of the volatile organic compounds and formaldehyde those occupants breathe — and the workers using it absorb the heaviest dose. Switching the chemistry is the highest-leverage indoor-air decision a facility can make.

Population 01 · Workers

The janitors using it.

A shopper uses a cleaner ten minutes a week. A janitor breathes it eight hours a day, for years — the most exposed population in the building. Cleaning workers carry one of the highest occupational-asthma rates of any U.S. industry, and quaternary ammonium compounds — quats — are one of the named causes. Quats sit in nearly every commercial disinfectant and general-purpose cleaner. Motherferment contains none: no quats, no harsh solvents, no signal word.

Population 02 · Occupants

The people in the building.

Students, patients, hotel guests, daycare children, office workers — everyone who occupies the space after a cleaning pass breathes whatever the last product left behind. Motherferment leaves no harsh residue and no lingering solvent odor. That also unlocks daytime cleaning: crews can work occupied hours without tenant complaints, cutting the overnight lighting, HVAC and security costs of a night shift.

On our board

Aligned with the WELL framework. Built with the people who wrote it.

The WELL Building Standard makes indoor air the first of ten concepts a healthy building has to clear — with specific thresholds for VOCs, formaldehyde, and PM2.5. The cleaning chemistry the standard's authors think about is the kind we make.

That's not coincidence. Paul Scialla — founder of Delos and co-founder of the WELL Building Standard — sits on our board. The chemistry profile MotherFerment ships with is engineered against the metrics WELL targets.

Sourcing & sustainability

Made by fermentation. Not petroleum. Not palm.

Conventional cleaners start from petroleum. The “green” ones usually lean on palm oil — a driver of tropical deforestation. Motherferment starts from neither: our surfactants are grown by living cultures through biofermentation, then finished into a USDA Certified Biobased 100% product.

And every ingredient is sourced in the United States — no refinery feedstock, no overseas monocrop, no ocean-freight dependency to disrupt your line card. A domestic supply chain that holds up to tariffs and shortages alike, and that feeds straight into your WELL, LEED and ESG reporting.
