FAQS
- Are your products safe and natural.
- Yes. Our products are organic, friendly to the environment, safe for humans, animals & plants. Non-toxic. Contains no pathogens. NON GMO and NO animal products. Clean and green!
- Are your products sold as a liquid or a powder?
- All of our microbes are packaged in a dry powder. This gives a long shelf life (at least 5 years) and you add water when you want to use them.
- What water do I use to activate your products?
- Non-chlorinated tap water, well water, salt water or brackish water can be used. We recommend that you don't use highly chlorinated tap water because it can harm the microbes.
- Are your microbes genetically modified or engineered?
- Non GMO. Our microbes are 100% natural. They have been collected from natural water and soil sources.
- What happens if I inhale or ingest the product?
- Obviously, not recommended. It will taste nasty, like eating mud, and the dust may make you sneeze, but it's non-toxic. Our products are safe for humans, fish, birds, animals & plants.
- How long after activating the products do I need to use them?
- We recommend that you use the product within 6 hours.
- Why does the product smell like oil?
- The microbes used in our products were raised on a crude oil diet to ensure that they will always eat oil and fuel. It's "comfort food" to them.
- Do microbes need special treatment?
- Basically they need need: oxygen, water, nutrients, and direct contact with whatever they are recycling.
- What happens to the microbes after the material has been consumed?
- The microbes will either die, return to former natural levels, or be eaten by other organisms. All part of the beautiful green natural cycle of Nature!
- What is Bioremediation?
- This refers to any process employing microbes to return a natural environment contaminated by pollutants back to its original condition. The highly concentrated blend of microbes in the Oppenheimer Formula® attack specific contaminants - hydrocarbons - and degrade it to organic materials.
- I have soil that is contaminated with traces of herbicides and pesticides, will using your products help?
- Our products will help to condition the soil, improve the plant root system, and remove traces of any harmful herbicides and pesticides.
- What are oil-eating microbes?
- These microbes are naturally occurring organisms that have been collected from natural water and soil sources around the world. They're selected for their love and affinity for consuming hydrocarbon based products (e.g., pollutants such as oil, gas, herbicides, pesticides etc.) and breaking them down to natural compounds. Microbes recycle!
