How it Works - Cleaning Outside the Box

K20/20® is built around a simple but powerful idea: clean more effectively without relying on traditional detergents, enzymes, solvents, fragrances, dyes, oxidizers, or sticky residues.

Instead of using conventional detergent chemistry, K20/20® products use proprietary Modified Salts technology to support a process we call detergent-, enzyme-, and solvent-free micro emulsification.

In plain terms, K20/20® helps water work harder. The solution penetrates soil buildup, works into small pores and surface irregularities, breaks down carbon-based soil binders, and releases embedded particles so they can be removed by extraction, wiping, scrubbing, rinsing, vacuuming, or wet recovery.

The Simple K20/20® Process

1. Penetrate

K20/20® solutions are designed to move into soil films, fiber pores, grout lines, textured floors, and microscopic surface openings where soil becomes trapped.

2. Break the Bond

Many soils are held in place by oily, sticky, carbon-based binders. K20/20® helps break down those binders so the soil is no longer locked to the surface.

3. Release the Soil

Once the bond is broken, embedded particle soil can release from carpet fibers, upholstery, tile, grout, stone, hard floors, stainless steel, and other water-safe surfaces.

4. Remove Without Sticky Residue

Because K20/20® does not rely on conventional detergents, it does not leave behind sticky detergent residue that can attract new soil and contribute to fast resoiling.

Why No Detergents?

True Residue-Free Cleaning

Traditional detergent cleaners can be effective, but they can also leave residues behind. These residues may feel sticky or tacky after cleaning and can attract new dirt.

K20/20® is different. It is designed to release soil without relying on detergent residue. That makes it a strong option for facilities and cleaning professionals who want cleaner surfaces, less resoiling, and fewer odor or residue concerns.

What Are Modified Salts?

The exact K20/20® formula is proprietary. However, the product line is built around a disclosed ingredient category called Modified Salts.

These Modified Salts appear to be the functional cleaning platform behind K20/20® technology. They help the water-based solution penetrate soils, reduce surface tension, break down organic soil binders, and release embedded particles without the need for detergents, solvents, enzymes, fragrances, dyes, or VOCs.

Think of it this way:

K20/20® does not clean by covering up soil or foaming around it. It cleans by helping release the soil from the surface so it can be removed.

Designed for Professional Results

K20/20® products are designed for use in a wide range of professional environments, including commercial, industrial, medical, educational, hospitality, and residential settings.

The line is especially useful where cleaners need strong performance without added fragrance, excessive foam, detergent residue, or solvent odor.

The Bottom Line

K20/20® works by helping water do what ordinary water cannot do on its own.

It penetrates.

It breaks the bond.

It releases embedded soil.

It removes contamination without sticky detergent residue.

That is the K20/20® difference.

Our Technology in a Nutshell:

K20/20’s micro-emulsification technology is a proprietary, modified-salt cleaning platform that helps water penetrate soil films and microscopic surface pores, break the bond between organic soil binders and the surface, and release embedded particle soils for removal without detergents, enzymes, solvents, VOCs, fragrances, dyes, oxidizers, or bleaching agents.
