Biz (detergent)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biz is a "stain-activated booster" for washing laundry made by Redox Brands, available in both liquid and powder form. More scientifically, it is the best-known enzyme-based bleach which specifically breaks down proteins in a way that ordinary chemical bleach and detergent do not.
It is therefore often used in a non-laundry context for cleaning the tissue off bones, particularly skulls which have interior cavities difficult to scour by mechanical action. If you need to boil a skull, Biz is the product to use. Recommended by the Alaska state government[1] and the FBI[2].
Biz was created in 1968 and manufactured by Procter & Gamble, who sold the brand in 2000 to Redox Brands, a marketing company based in the metro Cincinnati area founded by former Procter & Gamble employees. Redox also owns the former P&G laundry detergent Oxydol.
