SAN FRANCISCO--April 6, 2010--SeaYu^® Enterprises, makers of Clean+Green^®, the only eco-friendly aerosol pet cleaning products on the planet, today are sharing tips for pet owners on how to best remove pet stain and odor from different surfaces in the home. Anyone that has ever struggled with a stubborn stain or stinky odor source knows the frustration of trying products and cleaning methods that don’t work, or only temporarily mask the problem.

“First, consumers need to consider the safety of the products they’re using. Then, they need to understand the nuances of cleaning different surfaces and stain/odor sources, which will empower them to clean green and effectively.”

In a recent survey conducted by the American Pet Product Association, over 38 million households in the U.S. own a cat and over 45 million households own a dog. The APPA study found that going green is a trend that is rising among pet owners, and that all pet owners want an odor and stain free household.

“Many people approach household cleaning with dread and with good reason – between harsh chemicals and products that don’t work, stain and odor removal can be incredibly frustrating, and even dangerous,” Quincy Yu, President and Founder of SeaYu Enterprises explains. “First, consumers need to consider the safety of the products they’re using. Then, they need to understand the nuances of cleaning different surfaces and stain/odor sources, which will empower them to clean green and effectively.”

Quincy shares her best tips for removing pet stain and odor from specific surfaces in the home:

For Carpet

• Determine what kind of carpet you are cleaning. (Nylon, polyester, olefin or wool) The best method of cleaning will depend on the type of carpet you will be cleaning. The wrong carpet cleaning method could ruin your carpet!
• Regardless of what the carpet is made of, ALWAYS do a colorfast test on a hidden spot with your cleaning product. Regardless if it is a solution dyed or acid dyed carpet, the quality of the dye job is always a factor as to whether the dye will hold. You don’t want a bleach spot in the center of your living room carpet.
• Wool carpets stain easily and are the most sensitive carpets to clean. They should never be treated with hot water. Nylon carpets are usually acid dyed so it can have problems with bleaching, fading and urine reactions, but responds well to most professional cleaning methods and treatments. Olefin carpets are usually solution dyed so they are resistant to fading - most chemical and bleaches won’t damage it, but it is very heat sensitive. Polyester carpets are usually solution dyed so they are resistant to bleaching, fading and soil dye reactions. It is not resistant to oily stains, and in fact an oily spill or spot left without proper cleaning can oxidize and even chemically bond with and become part of the fiber - treat a polyester carpet as soon as possible before a stain sets.

For Wood floors

• Minimize water and liquids on the floor. Natural wood floors expand and contract due to moisture. So wipe up spills ASAP, and definitely do not leave large amounts of liquids on the wood, as this will make it swell, and possibly cause the floor to crack.
• Don’t clean your floor with just water or any cleaner that requires you to use a lot of liquid; water/liquids are not your floor’s friend and cause the wood and the finish to deteriorate.
• Do use neutral pH cleaners made specifically for wood floors such as Clean+Green for Wood & Tile.
• Trim your dog’s and cat’s nails regularly because they are the animal world’s version of stiletto heels when left to sharpen.

For Concrete

• Concrete is porous. Yes, this very hard material is porous with lots of bubbles for urine to hide and dry up in. If your concrete has not been sealed (or the seal has come off), liquids will definitely penetrate the surface and dry in the concrete.
• Do not paint over or seal concrete before you get rid of the deposited urine. Painting or sealing the concrete will not prevent the urine from biodegrading and throwing off the urine odor. You are just going to have to strip the seal off and get to the urine once you find it has not worked.
• Get something like a push broom and use this after applying the cleaning agent. Why? To get as much of the product deep into the concrete as possible. Remember, no cleaning agent can work unless it can come in physical contact with the urine.

Clean+Green uses a patented Advanced Encapsulation Technology™ and an Advanced Eliminator³ Formula™, developed by scientists to take care of the planet while cleaning up massive environmental problems like oil spills. The products naturally encapsulate and eliminate stain and odor on contact – even skunk odor! – by naturally biodegrading the stain/odor source.

Clean+Green is made with ingredients and materials that are all-natural, 100% biodegradable, and recyclable. The products are non-toxic, non-flammable, non-carcinogenic and will not damage the ozone layer – with no harsh chemicals or perfumes, no CFCs and no VOCs.

SeaYu Enterprises Releases Survey Results for October Pet Wellness Month

San Francisco, CA--September 28, 2009--SeaYu® Enterprises, makers of Clean+Green®, the only eco-friendly aerosol pet cleaning products on the planet™, recently conducted a survey - just in time for National Pet Wellness Month (http://www.npwm.com) in October - to find out what matters most to pet owners about pet wellness.

“Pet Wellness Month is a perfect time for pet owners to closely examine the effects that their lifestyle has on the health and safety of their pets”

Pet owners in the survey consider nutrition to be the most important aspect of their pet’s overall wellness (60%) followed by affection/play (17%) and disease prevention (11%). An overwhelming majority – 94% - said they were concerned with the negative effects traditional cleaning products have on their pet’s health. With good reason - according to the Environmental Protection Association (EPA), typical household cleaning products and air fresheners are one of the leading contributors to poor indoor air quality. The agency reports that poor indoor air quality can lead to health issues; animals have faster metabolisms and smaller lungs than humans, and not only are they processing these chemicals at a faster rate, they are also breathing them in more rapidly. Because animals are closer to the ground, they are more often in direct contact with these harmful substances.

“Pet Wellness Month is a perfect time for pet owners to closely examine the effects that their lifestyle has on the health and safety of their pets,” said Dennis Seaman, VP of Marketing for SeaYu Enterprises. “Making changes in your daily routine – such as walking for 30 minutes and switching to safer cleaning products - can lead to a longer and happier life for you AND your pet.”

Clean+Green® are the only eco-friendly aerosol pet cleaning products on the planet. Unlike most other cleaning products that can be harmful, require multiple applications and/or only temporarily mask odors, Clean+Green delivers instant results in a non-toxic, eco-friendly solution. Clean+Green permanently cleans pet stains and eradicates odors. It is safe for pets, people (kids too!), and the planet.

Clean+Green is made with ingredients and materials that are all-natural, 100% biodegradable and recyclable. The products are non-toxic, non-flammable, non-carcinogenic and will not damage the ozone layer – with no harsh chemicals or perfumes, no CFCs and no VOCs.

According to the Environmental Protection Association (EPA), typical household cleaning products and air fresheners are one of the leading contributors to poor indoor air quality. The agency reports that poor indoor air quality can lead to health issues that manifest soon after exposure or, possibly, years later. But as any pet owner knows, accidents happen – and top priority is given to cleaning up the mess. As people become more aware of the dangers of harsh chemicals in cleaning products, they may wonder if the eco-friendly products on the market work as well as their tried-and-true clean up tools.

Consumer Survey Shows Increased Likelihood of Travel by Car Amidst Economic Woes

San Francisco, CA --May 5, 2009--SeaYu® Enterprises, makers of Clean+Green®, the only eco-friendly aerosol pet cleaning products on the planet, recently conducted a survey asking consumers detailed information about the time they spend in their vehicle. With no end in sight to the economic crisis and summer travel seasons kicking off Memorial Day Weekend, this is a time when many of us are considering what to do for a family vacation.

"As a parent – and pet owner – I have dreaded the “family road trip”

According to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics, there are nearly 251 million cars, trucks and motorcycles registered in the US as of December, 2008 – approaching 1 per US citizen. With this in mind, the survey results reveal some interesting info about America’s love affair with the automobile!

The survey reveals the following statistics:

• Nearly half (48%) of respondents indicated that they spent between 11-25 hours per WEEK in the family vehicle!

• A huge majority of respondents – 87% - indicate that there is at least one spill or “accident” per week in their car.

• 76% of people taking the survey indicated that they would likely be traveling by automobile more than 50 miles from their home in the next 6 months.

• The majority of respondents – 55% - indicated that they were opting to drive (rather than fly) for their vacation because it is a less expensive option.

• A recent survey through the site asked what respondents’ biggest concerns with “traditional” cleaning products are, and 43% responded “having dangerous chemicals around my children and my pets”; 40% listed “damage to the environment” as their primary concern.

“It’s no secret that Americans love their cars, and spend more time in them nowadays than ever before,” said Dennis Seaman, VP of Marketing for SeaYu Enterprises. “As a parent – and pet owner – I have dreaded the “family road trip”, knowing that unavoidable “accidents” can really ruin a family vacation. Our Clean+Green Auto Refresher is a must-have essential for anyone who spends time in the car with kids, pets, or people!”
