Biz is a "stain-activated booster" for washing laundry. Made by Redox Brands, Biz is available in both liquid and powder form. It is an enzyme-based bleach that breaks down proteins in a way that ordinary chemical bleach and detergent do not.
In addition, the product is often used in a non-laundry context for cleaning the tissue off bones, particularly skulls that have interior cavities difficult to scour by mechanical action. Biz is recommended by the Alaska state government[1] and the FBI.[2]
[edit] History
Biz was invented in 1968 by Charles McCarty, a researcher at Procter & Gamble[3]. Biz was purchased in an auction from P&G in the Summer of 2000 by Redox Brands. Forbes estimated that Biz was purchased for greater than $40 million. Sales reached about $40 million one year later.[4]
