Kanberra Gel - 8oz

What Kanberra Gel Does:

Kanberra Gel eliminates mold, mildew, bacteria and fungus. It does this in a quite simple way: Open the container and take off the clear plastic lid and Kanberra Gel starts working immediately. Simple air movement over the container begins the process.

How Kanberra Gel Does It:

At the micro-biotic level, the air itself absorbs the pharmaceutical grade oils. As the air circulates and lands on the source (the mold, mildew, etc.), Kanberra Gel begins neutralizing and eliminating problems, and associated odors, on contact. It does so naturally, with no chemicals. Most importantly, the use of Kanberra Gel acts as a preventive program against these problems for as long as there is Gel in the container. The time from container opening to the point of maximum Kanberra Gel effectiveness depends on the size of the area and the extent of the problem. In addition, the gel will not last forever…it does need to be replaced in order for it continually to offer protection.

Because Kanberra Gel is a single product that is able to simultaneously perform several functions essential to keeping your home clean, Kanberra Gel saves the customer time and money.

One place that people often experience mold issues is in the bathroom, because of the high humidity. When placed in the bathroom, Kanberra Gel can help prevent mold and mildew while also working to eliminate the odors from the air. This can mean less frequent use of chemical cleaners and fewer loads of wash since Kanberra Gel will fight the odor and mold on bath towels. Clothes washers and dryers being energy hogs, reducing the need to wash the bath towels as frequently will result in meaningful savings of time, energy and therefore money.

At $15.95, a 2 oz container of Kanberra Gel that lasts 2 months is less expensive than purchasing an air freshener, air sanitizer, and doing an extra load of laundry a week to achieve similar results*. By reducing laundry loads by 1 per week, you will save about 280 gallons of water, 28 pounds of CO2 emissions from energy use, and around $2 off your electric bill over the life of the product**. Kanberra Gel is the simple, effective, and cost efficient choice.

For homes with a high chance of flooding or high humidity, keeping a container of Kanberra Gel in storage can provide a quick and easy means to fight the growth and spread of mold in an emergency. Placing the Kanberra Gel in a room affected by flooding can slow the mold growth until professional maintenance can be performed. This can reduce the amount of damage done which will greatly reduce the cost of very expensive repairs.

Though it is difficult to place a value on health benefits, it is becoming increasingly clear that mold can cause or exacerbate a variety of health problems.

*Estimated cost of 1 load of laundry per week over 2 months is $7.50. Estimated cost of air freshener that lasts 2 months is $7.00. Estimated cost of air sanitizing spray that lasts 2 months is $3.60.
**Estimates from Energy Star figures, EPA CCAP 2009 report, and EIA electricity cost estimate.

Tea Tree Oil, the main ingredient in Kanberra Gel, is an oil made from the leaves of Melaleuca Alternifolia, a plant native to Northern New South Wales in Australia. Tea Tree leaves were used by the indigenous people of Australia as a natural medicine before research began in the 1920's into the oil itself.

Tea Tree Oil has been used in creams, ointments, lotions, soaps, and shampoos for medicinal and cosmetic uses as well as to fight mold, bacteria, fungus, and viruses. Tea Tree Oil is often used to treat sore throats, coughs, cold, and dandruff and can also be used for lice and acne.

Kanberra Gel uses a unique combination of powerful pharmaceutical grade and lemon scented grade Tea Tree oil. This oil is natural, biodegradable, water based, and uses renewable resources. Use of Kanberra Gel in your cleaning schedule reduces the need for traditional chemical products and prevents waste from mold damage. Because Kanberra Gel eliminates odors by acting at the molecular level instead of masking odors like most other odor treatment products, Kanberra Gel helps to keep the home clean as well as smelling clean.
