What Are Probiotic Cleaning Products?
Probiotics are living strains of good bacteria that colonise and compete with bad bacteria on surfaces. They also produce enzymes which break down soil molecules, getting rid of dirt and grime.
Unlike traditional chemical cleaning products which you apply and wipe off the surface, you apply a small amount, leave it for several minutes, and then work it into the surface.
Although you might assume these milder, safer cleaners will not clean as well as chemicals,it has been proven that they are more effective at removing bacterial growth and pathogens.
The Benefits Of Probiotics
They provide a thorough clean
Firstly, they can clean out difficult-to-reach areas like dirt, grease, and grime in grout and crevices. Probiotics can also absorb odour molecules and remove the substances which produce unpleasant smells, keeping the area clean and fresh-smelling.
They work for a long period of time
Probiotic products can continue to be effective for several days after they were sprayedenabling them to clean very thoroughly. Chemical disinfectants, on the other hand, are only effective for at most several hours and don’t provide protection against recontamination.
Traditional cleaners are the leading cause of bacterial resistance to disinfectants, as well, whereas probiotics don’t continue its spread.
They are safe
Unlike chemical disinfectants, probiotics don’t contain harmful ingredients like chlorine bleach and ammonia which can irritate your skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Probiotic cleaners are especially beneficial if you have allergies or asthma.
They are good for the environment
Where chemical cleaners leave behind a harmful residue, once usedprobiotics simply re-enter the environment. Here, they contribute to water purification and help maintain the natural microbial balance.
Why Probiotics Are Best For Built Environments
