Motherferment FAQ: Questions You Should Be Asking

If you're here, you're probably starting to suspect that your “eco-friendly” cleaner is about as natural as a spray tan at Burning Man. Good instincts. You’ve been lied to, scrubbed with petrochemicals, and greenwashed so hard you might as well be a houseplant. This is your detox. We’re answering all the juicy questions the other brands hope you never ask—like: “Why does my ‘plant-based’ cleaner smell like a chemistry final?” “Can I really bathe my kid in this?” “What the hell is a bioferment and why does it work better than bleach?” “And why is this can giving me ‘badass rebel’ energy instead of ‘mason jar at Whole Foods’?” Let’s rip off the label and get into it.

Product & Ingredients

Motherferment is part of a scientific breakthrough developed by Bioferment Technologies Inc., creating a new category of powerful formulas for agricultural, commercial, and consumer markets. We set out to clean up the mess Big Chemical created. After 20 years of research and development, Motherferment delivers a powerful, all-in-one, 100% biofermented cleaner that obliterates grime without harming your health or the planet. No greenwashing. Just next-generation fermentation science that works better and is safer than toxic petrochemical and so-called “green” or plant-based cleaners.
We don’t recommend sipping it with your smoothie because it tastes like science, but yes—it’s food-grade safe. Safe enough to spray on your fruit, bathe in, or clean your baby's pacifier with. (We dare you to try that with your so-called “plant-based” cleaner. On second thought, don't - it's poison)
Instead of starting with petrochemicals or palm oil (like most “green” brands), we use living microbes to ferment our cleaning compounds. This creates powerful, non-toxic surfactants and acids—nature’s own cleanup crew.
Nope. Plant-based cleaners still come from the same toxic chemical pipeline—just a different feedstock. Ours is an entirely new category: Post-Toxic-Chemical Cleaning. It's like comparing a horse-drawn carriage to a Tesla.
Cutting-edge and highly advanced fermented biosurfactants, organic acids, natural chelants, and plant-based preservatives. Every ingredient is safe enough to be around your food, skin, and pets—and nothing is on Whole Foods’ banned list. What’s most important is what we don’t use—nothing derived from petrochemicals or even “plant-based” garbage or lies that destroy Earth’s precious rainforests.
Because your “natural” cleaner is lying to you—with a leaf on the label and blood on its hands. Most so-called “green” and “plant-based” cleaners are made with palm oil or coconut oil derivatives—surfactants that come at the cost of deforestation, orangutan extinction, child labor, and ecological collapse. Over 3 million hectares of Indonesian rainforest have been lost to palm oil expansion. Orangutans are literally being burned alive or starved as their habitat is bulldozed to grow the oil used in your “eco lemon fresh” cleaner. So yeah—we talk about rainforests and orangutans... Because no one else will. Because your clean shouldn’t come with a body count. Because you deserve to know what you’re spraying in your home, and what it cost the planet to make it. And because Motherferment doesn’t destroy to disinfect. We clean like we give a damn.

Versatility & Magic (Sort of)

Step 1: Open the cabinet under your sink. Step 2: Stare directly into the chemical abyss. Step 3: Throw. That. Shit. Out. Bleach. “Plant-based” sprays. Glass cleaner. Fragranced floor cleaners. Anything with a dangerous when inhaled warning label or powered by coconut-derived surfactants. It is all part of the same toxic clown show. That isn’t “clean.” That’s chemical theater. You’re soaking your home, and your skin, lungs, kids, and pets, in endocrine disruptors, carcinogens, and petrochemical residues every single day. Want real detox? ✅ Switch to Motherferment. It’s the only cleaner born from fermentation, not a refinery. ✅ Stop greenwashing yourself. If the label says “plant-based” but it's made with palm, coconut, or ethoxylated surfactants—it’s a lie with a leaf on it. ✅ Make one choice that replaces twenty. Kitchen? Covered. Bathroom? Yep. Floors? Baby toys? Produce? Yes, yes, yes. One bottle to rule them all. This isn’t a cleaning product. It’s an exorcism for the chemical demons living rent-free in your house.
We’re not deploying weapons of mass destruction here. No poisons. No synthetic pesticides. No hazmat suit is required. Our minimum-risk active ingredient, combined with food-grade fermentation compounds and biosurfactant adjuvants, simply cleans so thoroughly that fleas, whiteflies, and aphids reconsider their housing and garden choices. Their little exoskeleton jackets end up so polished—and the waxy residues they rely on are reduced—that they decide it’s time to relocate. It’s physical action—nothing dramatic, nothing explosive. And since humans lack exoskeletons (last we checked), you’ll be unaffected. Every ingredient is selected from chemistry commonly used in food, cosmetic, and hygiene-grade applications—because effectiveness doesn’t have to mean aggressive. Every ingredient is gentle enough for food preservation and cosmetics—because effective doesn’t have to mean aggressive.
Okay, okay — we get it. You’re asking twice. “How can it repel fleas and clean babies?” “How can it degrease an engine and wash my face?” Yeah… it sounds insane. Because you’ve been trained to think that power = poison. But Motherferment flips that lie on its toxic little head. This isn’t chemical warfare. It’s fermented intelligence — smart molecules that dissolve the bad and protect the good. One bottle. Engine to epidermis. Fleas to fruit bowls. Try that with any other cleaner — you can’t.
Motherferment isn’t a one-trick poison pony. It works by deconstructing filth—biofilms, oils, grease, gunk, microscopic pests—using naturally fermented acids and surfactants that are precision-tuned by nature. It’s not harmful to people, pets, or surfaces, but it’s brutal to anything you don’t want in your life. That’s the genius of fermentation: it creates smart, targeted cleaning power without the collateral damage.

Brand & Movement

Because they have to. If they told you the truth, you’d throw their bottle in the trash tomorrow. Let’s be real: They say “plant-based,” but it’s made with palm oil, the number one cause of rainforest destruction. They say “non-toxic,” but their preservatives, fragrances, and surfactants score an F on safety databases. They say “eco-friendly,” but it’s packaged in plastic, made in chemical factories, and leaves toxic residues behind. Their entire business model depends on you not reading the ingredients, not asking questions, and definitely not discovering us. Greenwashing isn’t an accident. It’s a strategy, a soft, leafy cover for a product that’s still just petrochemicals in a pastel disguise. At Motherferment, we don’t need to lie. Our truth is strong enough to clean your whole damn house.
Because Mother Nature and fermentation are the two forces that birthed this beast of a cleaner. Also… it kinda sounds like “motherf***er.” Which is exactly what we mutter every time we see what Big Chemical is doing to our rainforests, our health, and our kids. This name is a battle cry. We’re not here to play nice. We’re here to torch the Chemical Age and build something radically better.
We’re anti-toxic-chemical. Water is a chemical. Vinegar is a chemical. But synthetic petrochemicals cooked up in oil refineries and disguised as “plant-based”? Yeah, we’ve got a problem with that.
Only if truth is edgy. We’re just saying what others won’t, and doing what they can’t.
Clean your house. Share the truth. Join the M'r F'rs Club. And throw away your last lie.

Usage & Performance

Absolutely not. We’re the first cleaner in the world with zero trade-off between performance and safety. We scored a 93.16% on the ASTM D4488-A5 Surface Cleaning Test — the elite tier of cleaners. You get both. No compromises. No disclaimers. No greenwashed bullshit. It’s like if industrial degreaser and organic kefir had a baby… And that baby was raised on a commune of mad scientists and warlocks who swore vengeance on petrochemicals. We clean harder. We clean safer. Everyone else just picks one — because they have to.
Everything. And we mean…everything. Kitchens, bathrooms, high chairs, mirrors, sneakers, cutting boards, tools, engines, cars, yoga mats, windows (streak free), butts, balls, faces, babies, diamonds, toilets, makeup brushes, floors, countertops, and even your soul. (Kidding. Sort of.) Motherferment is also effective against killing fleas, protecting your garden from pests, and supporting the health of your microbiome and be part of your skin care routine. What other household cleaner can say all that?
Yes. In lab tests and real-life use, it outperformed mainstream chemical cleaners and the greenwashed ones. This is industrial-strength cleaning for people who don't want to marinate in carcinogens.
It’s not a registered disinfectant (yet), but it destroys biofilms and grime better than most. And a cleaner surface means fewer germs. Plus, it leaves no toxic residues behind. Clean is clean.
Only the streaks of your own tears when you realize how long you’ve been lied to by “eco” brands. (But seriously—no, it leaves surfaces sparkling - even glass.)

Packaging & Returns

Because cans are infinitely recyclable, airtight, and badass. Plastic bottles are chemical leaky, landfill-bound dinosaurs. Cans are the future.
You ship it back to us using the prepaid return label inside the box. We reuse, upcycle, or recycle it—depending on the condition. Zero waste. Maximum impact.
Yes. Everything is either recyclable, compostable, or reusable. We don’t sell poison, and we don’t ship trash.
Nah. But if you don’t, a sad sea turtle loses a high five.

Product & Ingredients

Does a bear shit in the woods? Most “eco” brands destroy rainforests, fund forced labor, and dump palm-based surfactants into waterways. We don’t. We ferment. No deforestation. No exploitation. No BS.
Never. Not even bugs. Unless you count the microbial army in the fermenter tanks—but they like it.
We use neither. Those are two of the biggest drivers of rainforest destruction and child labor. We took a different path on purpose.
In our own food-grade facility. We manufacture ourself, to our own high standards, so there is no cross contamination with the nasty chemical industry.
FAQ Image

Ordering & Returns

Yes. You can subscribe to the revolution and never run out of badass cleaner again.
Unlikely. But if you’re not satisfied, let us know and we’ll make it right. That’s not just a guarantee. It’s a challenge.
We offer fair shipping. Sometimes it’s free. Sometimes it’s low-cost. But it’s always carbon-aware.

Insane questions that no normal brand would answer (but we did)

No. For that, we recommend boundaries and wine.
Absolutely. Up to their neck. Bonus points if you scream “BEGONE, GREENWASH!” during the dunk.
Not all of them. But it’ll wipe the plant-based petrochemical shame off your bathroom mirror. Start there.
Only if your third eye is covered in toddler slime and karmic mildew. (We make no promises about spiritual enlightenment—but your countertops will ascend.)
If your partner still uses toxic cleaners, Motherferment might be the only thing that can save you. If not? Clean break.
You’ll smell like vengeance, citrus, and truth. 10/10 would recommend.
"We legally can’t endorse that. But if their aura is toxic and their dishes are too… well… we’re not not saying it."
Sadly, no. But it will erase the coffee stain from the night you cried over your Saturn return.
"Only metaphorically. It sets fire to lies, greenwashing, and the entire petrochemical industry. So yeah—🔥"
Hell no. Unless you’re talking about our tears of rage watching other brands call themselves “clean,” “non-toxic,” and “all-natural.”
"Only if you film yourself spraying it in your mouth and saying “This tastes like justice.” (Again: don’t drink it. But also… tag us.)"
We’re working on a 55-gallon drum for that, stay tuned.
Because dogs are smart, and your floor smells like a fermented snack bar, not synthetic lemon nightmare.
Yes. The power of knowing better. Also, the strength to throw out every toxic bottle under your sink and never look back.

“Classified / Redacted” Files — Leaked Internal Memos regarding Big Chemical’s Worst Nightmare, a satire

⚠️ TOP SECRET: Do NOT let the public see these questions. If they start asking this sh*t,it’s over for us.— Internal Memo, "Operation Greenwash"

"Because it's not made from industrial sludge, Jeff. It's made from fermented science and non-toxic rage. You can’t fake that in a beaker."
"Only if we fire every executive and replace them with kombucha brewers and a conscience."
"It’s infinitely recyclable, visually iconic, and doesn’t leach chemicals. Just tell legal to push another pastel bottle with a leaf on it."
"Then we’re fucked, Brian. Cancel the ad campaign. Fire the fake rainforest spokesperson."
"We don't. We start an “eco-inspired” candle line and hope no one notices the ingredients."
"Only if we add coconut scent. That seems to work on millennials."
"Yes. They named it Motherferment. They're not here to play. They're here to bury us."
