Eco–Friendly
Before “green” was popular, or even accepted, Gregg Mötsenböcker, president of San Diego based Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off®, and recipient of the Patent & Trade Office’s Invention of the Year award, began with a vision to develop products that were technologically advanced and “three–ways safe” for the environment, user and the surfaces to which they were applied. He believed it was the right thing to do; develop products that are “green,” patented, and work as well or better than other existing products that are not considered environmentally safe.
Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off® nine patented formulas offer a family of cleaners that are water–based, biodegradable, and have low or no–VOC’s. The line of innovative technologies removes everything from food, beverages and pet stains to paint, varnishes, caulks, adhesives and ink.With a proven track record of getting the job done, Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off® products are proof that “green” can work and be competitively priced.
In addition to patenting the entire product line of Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off®, he has made sure they passed rigorous consumer tests. Proving its effectiveness, Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off® has the only products of its kind that have earned an “A’ rating in the United States for efficacy on all its applications and a variety of surfaces tested, as well as Green Cross Certification for biodegradability awarded by Scientific Certification Systems.
The products are formulated for application on specific types of stains, rather than only on specific surfaces. At the same time, the products can be applied safely and are effective at cleaning a variety of surfaces, including clothing, walls, floors, carpets, dry erase boards, counter–tops, automobiles (exteriors and interiors), office equipment, metals, stone, brick and concrete. All of the formulations are numbered and color–coded, so that you can quickly identify and use the Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off® product that is right for your application.
Looking back at the creation of Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off®, they were developed to be technologically advanced, exceeding the environmental standards that were previously set. Mötsenböcker’s Lift Off® products, by being so different, so advanced, had to overcome some unexpected obstacles. They included skeptical buyers who were slow to understand the technology and challenged the concept: environmentally safe, water–based products that work effectively on a multitude of surfaces and applications, and are competitively priced.
