BIOKLEEN

Ahead of his time, Jim understood the power of plants. In the 1980s, with still little awareness about the negative health and environmental impacts of toxin-rich cleaners, one man felt that something wasn’t right. A sales executive for a chemical supply company, at the time, Jim Rimer grew disturbed by the harmful side effects he witnessed among customers and colleagues, from skin rashes to respiratory disease and worse. So when his attempts to implement safety and educational trainings on the use of those products led to his firing, he vowed to find non-toxic, effective alternatives, and Biokleen was born.
