How much does the Kitchen Biōm Trio cover?
+
BioSurf 16oz makes ~32 gallons of cleaning solution at standard dilution — typically 4–6 months of regular use. The 32oz dishwasher detergent yields 30–50 loads depending on dosing. Chef Soap Bar lasts about 2–3 months of daily hand-washing.
Why three different mechanisms instead of one universal formula?
+
Because the kitchen has three different cleaning problems. Surface buildup (Bacillus microbial). Food residue baked into dishware (targeted enzymes). Odors absorbed by skin (arabica coffee grounds). A "universal" cleaner has to compromise on each of these. We didn't want to compromise.
Is the dishwasher detergent HE-safe?
+
Yes. The formula is HE-safe and compatible with both standard and high-efficiency dishwashers. Use 1 scoop for everyday loads, 2 for heavy or baked-on messes. Place directly in the main detergent compartment — not the pre-rinse section.
Are these safe around pets and kids?
+
Yes. All three formulas are designed for homes with pets and children. Fragrance-free, no phosphates, no persistent environmental contaminants. As with any cleaning product, allow surfaces to dry before reintroducing pets or kids, and keep out of reach.
Can I use BioSurf with bleach or disinfectants?
+
No. Bleach and quaternary ammonium ("quat") disinfectants deactivate the Bacillus cultures in BioSurf. If your protocol includes a bleach or quat step, run BioSurf separately — never in the same bucket, bottle, or cloth. The dishwasher detergent and Chef Soap are unaffected.
Does the Chef Soap really remove garlic and onion smell?
+
Yes. The arabica coffee grounds in the bar act as a natural deodorizer — the compounds in coffee neutralize the sulfur molecules responsible for garlic, onion, and fish smells. Wet your hands, lather, rinse. It works on the same principle as stainless-steel "soap" bars but doesn't dry your skin. The same trick chefs have used for decades, embedded in the bar itself.
