Four Stage Process

Our exclusive enzyme based soaps have low foaming surfactants and anti soil redeposition agents that help prevent soils from returning to the equipment. Our enzyme fighting stain remover helps eliminate blood, proteins, grass and other organic contaminants from the items being cleaned. Our process doesn’t just clean the surface dirt, it gets deep inside the gear during all four of the following stages. As if this process wasn't great enough, all our detergents and disinfectants are environmentally friendly.

TAK 1. Contains enzyme producing non-pathogenic bacteria. When they come in contact with protein oils, sweat, blood, proteins and fungi they secrete an enzyme that breaks down the soil source allowing it to be digested and removed easily from the fabric. At the same time it overpowers the food source of pathogenic bacteria such as staphylococcus, weakening them for an easy kill by Stage 3. This process also helps in eliminating odors. Because the pH never exceeds 9.5 this product is mild in comparison to traditional detergents having a pH of 12 and above. All surfactants used in TAK 1 are biodegradable.

Penetrator Detergent. Contains a synergistic blend of detergents, detergent builders, water-soluble solvents, and optical enhancing brighteners. The two distinct detergents which are also known as surfactants reduce surface tension and allow Stage 1 and the balance of ingredients in Stage 2 to penetrate and do their job at breaking down matter. The detergent builders buffered alkalinity keeps the pH at 9.5, which is where stage 2, will perform best. The builders also soften water and suspend soil after they are released. The water-soluble solvents emulsify oil based (sweat) soils. The optical brighteners attach themselves to the fabric and when dry, escalate the reflection of light.

Force Additive. Contains a blend of peroxyacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. This formulation has two distinct functions. It neutralizes the residual alkalinity left in Stage 2. This leaves the fabric at neutral pH level (6.5 to 7.0), which is optimum for the skin. It also penetrates all bacteria, viruses, and mold spores and kills them chemically on contact. Peroxyacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide have been proven to kill bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus and molds at a 99.99% efficacy.

Signature Fragrance. This final fragrance is added to the last rinse of the process to compliment the cleaned equipment. The unique fragrance is a combination of 140 different natural oil extracts including mint, orange peel and vanilla flower. There are a few washes where we won't apply the fragrance - such as hunting gear.
