Looking Beyond What the Eye Can See: The Science Behind a Truly Clean Home
We all know what a clean surface looks like: shiny counters, spotless floors, streak-free glass. But have you ever wondered what’s happening beyond what the eye can see?
At Liquid Earth, we set out to uncover what “clean” really means, not just visually, but scientifically. That’s why we partnered with Pario Engineering & Environmental Sciences, a trusted team of Industrial Hygienists, to put our products to the test. Their specialists utilized advanced testing methods to assess how well Liquid Earth performs under real-world conditions, on everyday surfaces such as vinyl flooring, countertops, porcelain, and tempered glass.
The Science Behind Clean
To measure cleanliness at the microscopic level, Pario used ATP testing, a gold-standard scientific method that detects even trace amounts of organic matter (living or dead) on a surface.
ATP or adenosine triphosphate is an energy molecule found in all organic material. Using specialized instruments, ATP levels are measured in Relative Light Units (RLU):
- 400–800 RLU: Dirty to very dirty
- 10–30 RLU: Very clean
- Below 10 RLU: Ultra-clean
Real-World Results
Before cleaning, test surfaces showed readings between 427 and 820 RLU, meaning they were considered dirty to very dirty. After cleaning with Liquid Earth, those numbers dropped dramatically, down to between 4 and 20 RLU.
That means Liquid Earth didn’t just remove visible grime, it cleaned at a molecular level, surpassing what’s considered the industry standard for “very clean.”
In Pario’s official report:
“All Liquid Earth products tested outperformed the cleaning ability of the multi-surface cleaning wipes, which were tested in parallel.”
Even more impressive? The tests were conducted under normal household conditions, with no special techniques or long wait times. Pario’s specialists observed no streaks or residue and noted the products’ excellent wetting ability, which allows them to reach deep into textured surfaces where dirt likes to hide.
Redefining the Standard of Clean
The results prove that you don’t need harsh chemicals to achieve a powerful, effective clean. Liquid Earth’s non-toxic cleaning products are formulated to break down grime and organic matter while protecting the integrity of your home’s surfaces and your health.
True clean goes deeper than what we can see. It’s about balance, removing what doesn’t belong while respecting the natural harmony of your space.
Because real clean isn’t just about what you see. It’s about what you don’t.
