FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – June 11, 2015: Monarch Green, Inc® announced today that it will be offering free shipping on orders placed through the newly launched Pool & Spa Saver Mouse® web site for a limited time. The new pool cleaning product is the answer to the challenge of trying to rapidly, efficiently, and cost-effectively remove unhealthy body oil, hair oil, sun screen and tanning oil and enjoy pristine pool & spa water without relying on potentially harmful chemicals or enzymes.
This new U.S.-patented pool cleaning technology comes from the oil absorbent professionals at Oilinator® and Monarch Green, Inc®. They have adapted the recycled sorbent materials they use in cleaning up major industrial oil spills to a convenient, ultra-high capacity product for home and commercial pool use. Users simply tether the Pool & Spa Saver Mouse® by its “tail,” using the enclosed twist-tie, to the bottom of the pool skimmer basket or anywhere else so it floats at the surface. Then sit back and relax while the mouse instantly begins the dirty work of trapping and absorbing body oil, hair oil, and tanning oil from the pool and spa water that is coursing through the cleaning and circulation system, leaving the swimming water sparkling clean and fresh.
The Pool & Spa Saver Mouse® helps pool maintenance professionals and homeowners save hundreds of dollars each month by reducing the amount of harmful enzymes and chemicals which are normally used to solve this problem. The product also helps to extend filter life and greatly extend service intervals because of the consistent job it does at keeping grease, scum and oil out of the filter itself. Pool owners can now keep their pool and spa sparkling clean with no hassle in an environmentally-friendly and money-saving way.
“I have known many home and commercial pools owners who are frustrated by constantly trying to skim oil off the surface of their pool water with very limited results,” commented Monarch Green’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder, Thomas R. Rossi. “The Pool & Spa Saver Mouse® eliminates that work because it traps and absorbs oil and grease like magic. The Pool & Spa Saver Mouse® effortlessly and quickly eliminates unhealthy sun tan oil, sunscreen, scum, body and hair oil sheen without the use of harmful chemicals.”
The pool and spa cleaning mouse is made of 100% recycled eco-friendly sorbent designed to absorb pool oils and leave pool water sparkling clean. The patented technology makes hassle-free pool water maintenance a reality without the use of harmful chemicals.
About Pool & Spa Saver Mouse®: The Pool & Spa Saver Mouse® is an important addition to any pool cleaning system. Designed to effortlessly help keep a pool clean, the product is based on Monarch Green’s specialized knowledge of oil spill containment and absorption.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – May 20, 2015, Santa Barbara CA: A massive oil spill cleanup effort is underway after an oil pipeline ruptured on Tuesday near Refugio State Beach on the the Santa Barbara County Coast. It is estimated that 2,500 barrels worth of oil (105,000 gallons) spewed into the ocean, and spread 9 miles west of the Refugio State Beach toward El Capitan State Beach, according to the L.A. Times.
Refugio State Beach is about 20 miles west of downtown Santa Barbara. It’s a popular beach for camping and swimming and used frequently by Santa Barbara residents and tourists. Coast Guard crews, with the help of emergency officials and state park officials are working on cleaning up the spill. So far, about 850 barrels of crude oil have been removed from the waters.
State Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, released the following statement Wednesday on the oil spill off of Refugio State Beach in Santa Barbara County:
“Like so many of my constituents, I remain very concerned about the impact of the oil spill yesterday at Refugio Beach, the largest we have had in years in Santa Barbara County, and am continuing to monitor it closely. This is a tragic reminder of how precious our coastline and wildlife are, and the dangerous and detrimental impacts of oil drilling and oil operations. Just as the 1969 oil spill off the Santa Barbara coast spurred decades of environmental progress, I hope that this devastating situation renews our commitment to protect our coastline, and find safer forms of energy to power our state and our nation.”
EPA investigators haven’t determined a cause for the spill, federal on scene incident commander Michelle Rogow said. They are working with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, which regulates the pipeline.
The Santa Barbara County District Attorney announced today that they would be investigating the spill to review “potentially relevant criminal and civil statutes,” CBS Los Angeles reports.
Brett Connors, a 35-year-old producer from Santa Monica, told the Times that he saw sea lions swimming in the oil-laden waters. “It is horrible,” he said. “You want to jump in there and save them.”
There was another oil spill back in 1969 along the same area caused by Union Oil (which later became Unocal), the Times reports. The massive spill spewed out an estimated 3 million gallons of oil, spreading to 35 miles along the coast, killing marine life and birds.
Plains All-American Pipeline issued a statement yesterday: “Plains deeply regrets this release has occurred and is making every effort to limit its environmental impact. Our focus remains on ensuring the safety of all involved. No injuries have been reported at this time.”
“Before dawn, we delivered a full truckload of Monarch Green high capacity spill cleanup materials to the spill site for immediate use in the clean up efforts,” said Tom Rossi, CEO of Monarch Green, Inc.
Cleanup and recovery from an oil spill is difficult and depends upon many factors, including the type of oil spilled, the temperature of the water (affecting evaporation and biodegradation), and the types of shorelines and beaches involved. Spills may take weeks, months or even years to clean up. It is often necessary to remove contaminated earth as a final step in oil spill cleanup. Oil spills can have disastrous consequences for society; both economically, environmentally, and socially.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – April 13, 2015, Santa Barbara CA: In 1969, a massive oil spill from an oil platform off Santa Barbara’s coast wreaked havoc on wildlife and the local eco-system. The resulting swell of outrage gave rise to the creation of the Community Environmental Council (CEC), which organized the first Santa Barbara Earth Day Festival to raise environmental awareness. Spill clean-up experts, Monarch Green, will be exhibiting at this year’s Festival to educate consumers about how far oil spill technology has come since 1969, and present its line of eco-conscious universal absorbent products for home and hobby use.

Admission is free. Monarch Green, a cutting edge, environmentally advanced organization, will present its line of eco-friendly emergency spill kits in Booth # 342.
Monarch Green is known for its line of Oilinator® and Incredisorb® technologies.

Lessons learned from the company’s industrial applications are now being adapted for home and hobby use.
“Consumers are more aware of the environmental damage that can be inflicted by everyday products,” commented Monarch Green’s chairman, CEO, and co-founder, Thomas R. Rossi. “Whether it’s a brake fluid leak or a spilled can of paint, they are demanding products that can clean up difficult spills in an eco-conscious manner without harming their property. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to meet people at the Festival and explain how our products can help them be more eco-conscious around the home.”
This community-organized festival is one of the longest-running and consistently held Earth Day celebrations in the country. In 2014 the Festival drew over 37,000 visitors. This year’s event will be broken into zones, each created around a specific theme, including a green car show and a homegrown roots zone that promotes sustainable local agriculture. In addition, there will be two full days of live music performances, speakers, and family programming, an Eat Local Dinner, and the presentation of an Environmental Hero Award.
