Probiotic cleaning

With the help of probiotic cleaners, a dual effect can be achieved:
the product's dirt-removing ingredients work immediately, while the probiotics take effect in the long term.

Microbes and probiotic cleaning

Our environment is full of life that is invisible to the human eye – various microbes can be found almost everywhere. By cleaning surfaces, our goal is to reduce and eliminate harmful microbes. Beneficial microbes, probiotics, contribute to maintaining a healthy state. This is how they also work as part of cleaning agents. Cleaning products containing probiotic microbes take advantage of the ability of living microbes to produce enzymes that break down dirt, and they utilize the result in their metabolism.

What are microbes?

Our environment, whether it is nature or the surfaces of our facilities, is filled with microorganisms or microbes that are invisible to the naked eye. These microorganisms include bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Microbes are highly adaptable and have modest nutrient requirements.

Probiotics are live microbes that are harmless to humans and the environment (so-called non-pathogenic microbes). Probiotic cleaners typically contain spores of the Bacillus genus, which occurs naturally. Similar probiotic microbes have been widely used in the food industry, raw material production, alternative medical care, as well as in the production of medicinal substances and industrial enzymes for decades.

The benefits of probiotic cleaning

Probiotic cleaners differ from traditional products in that they not only clean surfaces but also introduce beneficial microbes to those surfaces. These microbes remain on the treated surfaces, actively neutralizing dirt and unpleasant odors even between cleanings. Through their natural enzymatic processes, these probiotics break down dirt into smaller particles, enhancing the effectiveness of future cleanings.

The long-term success of probiotic cleaning is due to the beneficial microbes multiplying on the surfaces, gradually replacing harmful microbes, including pathogens. Displacing harmful microbes is essential for mitigating the spread of diseases. Additionally, the enzymatic breakdown of dirt with probiotics not only aids in its effective removal during cleaning but also promotes a healthier living or working environment by reducing the occurrence of harmful microbes.

Healthier spaces

The regular use of probiotic cleaners results in cleaner and safer surfaces, where probiotic microbes outcompete harmful microorganisms and various pathogens.

Biofilm removal

Probiotic bacteria consume organic materials and pollutants, weakening existing biofilms and preventing the formation of new ones. This also helps in eliminating odors. Additionally, the end products do not cause odors.

Northern Swan Eco-label

The eco-label sets strict criteria for probiotic cleaners: products containing microorganisms must demonstrate excellent cleaning performance in addition to general cleaning requirements.

Learn about the functioning of probiotic cleaners

Probiotic cleaners contain spores of non-harmful (non-pathogenic) bacteria that are naturally found in our environment. The spores remain on the surface for a long time after cleaning, remain viable, and can activate in the presence of contaminants, providing long-term cleaning benefits.

A different perspective on daily cleaning

Probiotic cleaners permanently improve cleanliness and hygiene. The method not only removes dirt and harmful microbes (pathogens) but also reduces the habitat of harmful microbes. Probiotics remain effective for a long time between cleanings.

Probiotic products can be used in the same way as their non-probiotic counterparts. Always refer to the handling instructions of each product for the exact usage guide. Probiotic products are safe for the user and the cleaned surfaces.

Probiotic cleaners work particularly well in busy places, where regular use of probiotic cleaners can stabilize the microbial population on surfaces, transforming harmful bacteria into a safe microbiome for health and the environment. Schools, kindergartens, lounges, hotels, restaurants, gas stations, public restrooms, nursing homes, and hospitals are perfect locations to harness the power of probiotics.

1. Probiotic microbes produce various enzymes.

2. These enzymes break down organic contaminants on surfaces.

3. The decomposed pollutant molecules have become smaller, and they can be cleaned more easily during the next cleaning of the surface.

4. The enzymatic process that breaks down contaminants enhances the ability of probiotics to consume contaminant molecules.
