Description

Green Envy Tray Cleaner is a dental impression tray cleaner indicated for the removal of alginate and gypsum from impression trays. Green Envy is pH neutral to clean trays without scraping, corrosion or harmful chemicals. It is biodegradable, environmentally friendly and gentle on skin. Green Envy dissolves alginate and plaster residue by interacting with soils and surfaces, breaking down the microorganisms. One scoop of powder is dissolved in two cups of water, and trays should soak for at least 15 minutes.  It is packaged in a 2.2 lb jar (cleans about 500 trays) and has a light citrus aroma. Green Envy Tray Cleaner was used by 26 consultants in 790 uses. It received a 96% clinical rating.
