Microorganisms and Enzymes Does Remarkable Solutions Remarkable Enzyme Action contain live microorganisms? Yes, Remarkable Enzyme Action uses live, beneficial bacteria to help degrade and remove organics that ordinary cleaners or products miss. Remarkable Enzyme Action products contain live bacteria in a dormant state called spore. The spores will not become active as long as the container is securely closed and stored in a cool, dry place. When the spores come in to contact with water when you clean they become active and the microorganisms get to work producing the enzymes that clean and degrease. The best partthe microorganisms keep working even after you are done cleaning, so surfaces stay clean longer and you get a deep clean. How long will Remarkable Enzyme Action last? As long as the container is securely closed from air and water, the solution will last 1 to 2 years. The microorganisms have carefully been carefully put in to a solution that keeps them in suspended animation until they come in to contact with water.
