Tested by engineers, not marketers

Anyone can print "powerful" and "safe" on a label. We would rather hand you the paperwork.

Why we lead with evidence

Cleaning products live and die on trust. You are letting something into your home, onto your kids' clothes, down a drain that runs to your septic field. "Trust us" is not good enough for that. So instead of adjectives, here is who actually put our formula to the test, and how.

The people

The field studies behind this technology were run by licensed professionals, not a marketing department. Terry Moran, a professional engineer licensed across several states, designed and ran the sediment and wastewater testing. Professional engineers put their license on the line when they sign a report. They do not sign guesses. James "Rip" Kirby, a consulting geologist focused on oil-pollution remediation, ran the crude oil and tar testing in the field. When people with those credentials test a product and write down what happened, the result carries weight that a testimonial never will.

The labs

Safety testing went to certified laboratories, on purpose, in more than one country. A NELAP-certified laboratory in the United States handled bioassay testing. A CALA-accredited laboratory in Canada ran independent testing under Canadian protocols. GEL Group handled quality-control and ingredient analysis. Certification matters here. NELAP and CALA are accreditation bodies that audit a lab's methods and competence. A result from an accredited lab is a result someone else has already checked the homework on.

The standards

The testing followed recognized methods from the EPA, ASTM, and Environment Canada. These are the same standard playbooks used across environmental science, which means the results can be compared and repeated rather than taken on faith. Standardized testing is the opposite of a one-off demo in a slick video. It is designed so that anyone, anywhere, running the same method gets the same answer.

The standard behind the brand

Katch Kan has spent since 1994 in oil and gas, engineering equipment that contains the hardest, dirtiest messes on a rig. That world does not reward marketing. It rewards things that work and hold up to inspection. Kan Klean carries that same standard: build it tough, test it hard, and be able to prove it. Tough and responsible are not opposites, and we have the third-party testing to stand behind it.
