What are probiotic cleansers?
They are cleaners based on beneficial microorganisms, enzymes and essential oils, which naturally break down dirt (fats, cellulose, lime, etc.)
Microorganisms are the oldest life form on the planet, found everywhere, and essential for life on the planet. Therefore, the vast majority are beneficial and necessary. Probiotic cleaners clean and colonize surfaces with beneficial microorganisms that keep harmful germs at bay and break down contaminants and dirt naturally. In contrast, conventional cleaners, based on harmful chemicals, tend to eliminate all microorganisms—the bad ones (a few) and the beneficial ones (most). This is counterproductive, as it can facilitate the spread of harmful germs and promote antimicrobial resistance.
In this article we clarify these concepts in a simple way by making a comparison.
Probiotic cleaning breaks down, degrades, and eliminates dirt by introducing beneficial microorganisms. This displaces pathogens, creating a healthy, life-enhancing environment. They have a long-lasting effect on stubborn dirt and limescale, gently clean materials, and remove stains. They protect materials and regenerate water and the environment.
Conventional products eliminate dirt and all microbes and bacteria. Both the pathogens (which are very few and harmful) and the beneficial and necessary ones for health and the environment, which are the vast majority. They contaminate aquifers and the environment.
The effects of probiotic cleaning go further. The beneficial microorganisms continue to work after cleaning, having an antistatic effect. Dirt is removed, leaving surfaces clean and shiny. Recontamination is significantly reduced, both on surfaces and in the air, thanks to their powerful antistatic power.
Antibacterial products carry the risk of pathogens becoming resistant to the products, promoting allergic reactions, eczema, and autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, many of their components, or a combination of these, generate VOCs and static electricity that attract dust, contaminating the air inside the home, harming health.
Probiotic cleaning is a perfect cleaning solution for keeping spaces clean and free of harmful chemicals. They promote a positive microclimate and neutralize unpleasant odors without masking them. Deposits in pipes are effectively removed, and long-term blockages are prevented. Thanks to their natural and harmless ingredients, they are especially suitable for families with children and pets. They respect health and regenerate the environment.
Most conventional cleaning products contain harmful and synthetic chemical components that pollute the air and water sources, and are harmful to health and the environment. The fragrances and perfumes they use are very strong, masking unpleasant odors without neutralizing them. Furthermore, the combination of these can be dangerous because it creates new harmful compounds and slowly creates pollution.
Probiotic cleaners are concentrated and economical. Dilute a small amount with water in a spray bottle. This reduces the use of packaging, reduces storage space, and lowers transportation costs. Less waste is generated, and even the water used for washing dishes can be used to water and strengthen plants.
Conventional cleaners generally use single-use containers and have very specific uses, which must be kept out of reach of children. The cost per liter is higher, they take up a lot of cupboard space, are dangerous for children and pets, generate a lot of waste, and leftover water pollutes aquifers.
In short, probiotic cleaners remove dirt while respecting the environment. They are naturally much more appropriate, healthier, and economical for general daily cleaning. For the home, office, shops, schools, cars, and more.
