Probiotics as cleaning agents

Probiotics as cleaning agents - that sounds rather odd at first - as in, cleaning bacteria with bacteria.

That is, indeed, the principle. Understandably that may make you cringe a bit. Let's dig a little deeper into the subject.

How does cleaning with probiotics work?

Probiotics are natural; they are good bacteria. Greasy residues are a feast for them - they clean up your dirty kitchen counter by eating those residues. Same for the nasty bacteria; probiotics break these down by ingesting them along with the lingering odors coming from them.

How does the elimination of bad odors work?

The probiotics eliminate the odor in two phases.

In the first phase, the bad smell is enveloped by the probiotics which immediately distinguishes the smell. Then, the odor molecules are decomposed. The odors are not hidden; they are eliminated.

Why is this method revolutionizing the cleaning industry?

Probiotics are the most responsible and sustainable cleaning products. They are natural, they clean in depth, and they have a long-lasting effect because they keep on cleaning up to 72hrs after application, in your home but also down the drain in the pipes and wastewater.

Also, they don't contribute to the increasing issues of multiresistancy, meaning a growing resistance to antibiotics, antiseptics, and disinfectant. Today, they are already frequently used in medical practices, professional cleaning services, and fitness studios.

Where do probiotics come from? How do we "grow" them?

They live in both the indoor and outdoor environments, meaning they surround us in all places we live and work, as well as in soil and water. We use biotech to select and collect these bacteria from the respective environments and ferment them in our industrial plants. The bacteria are EU group 1 of microorganisms, which is a category of bacteria safe for all human beings, animals, and the environment.
