The Benefits of Probiotic Cleaning
Probiotic Cleaning: How Good Bacteria Can Change Your Cleaning Routine for the Better
If your reading this, your probably wondering what probiotic cleaning is. When we clean, we expect our surfaces to be germ-free after we’re done using the latest and greatest cleaners marketed to us by the giant conglomerates of the cleaning product world. However, using those traditional chemical disinfectants only work when they are wet. Most cleaning products dry too quickly to achieve the recommended 4-10 minutes of wet contact time. Hospitals and care homes with strict cleaning protocols are not effectively removing microbes due to the presence of a biofilm layer that disinfectants cannot penetrate.
Sustainable Cleaning Methods
To address this issue, we need to shift our thinking about cleaning. Killing bacteria is not a viable method, as most of them protect us from harmful ones. We need sustainable cleaning methods that physically scrub away biofilms and maintain healthy microbiomes.
Probiotic cleaners offer a unique and elegant solution. Prōtëkt products contain 50 million probiotics per mL that produce enzymes to break apart the biofilm matrix. These microbes live on the surface for 3-5 days, eliminating the need for multiple disinfectant applications and producing a truly clean, healthy surface.
Understanding the Cleaning Dilemma
After cleaning, do you ever wonder if your surfaces are truly germ-free? Unfortunately, the answer is probably no. Disinfectants only work when wet, and most products dry too quickly to achieve the recommended contact time for effective sanitization. Even if we diligently wipe and disinfect, we may be missing a key component that makes the difference between cleaning and just moving microbes around. And, lets not mention the whole discussion involved in the subject of developed pathogen (bad bacteria) resistance.
Moreover, hospitals and care homes with strict cleaning protocols are still not effectively removing microbes due to the presence of a biofilm layer. This layer covers all surfaces and provides an ideal environment for microorganisms to exist. While strong disinfectants are applied regularly, they do not have enough contact time to be effective. Once the cleaner dries, microorganisms continue to live on the biofilm layer, invisible to us.
“The problem with killing 99.9 percent of bacteria is that most of them protect us from the few that can make us sick.”
– Sandor Ellix Katz, The Art of Fermentation: An In-Depth Exploration of Essential Concepts and Processes from Around the World
The Problem with Killing Bacteria
To achieve the level of cleaning we “think” we are getting, we would have to wet surfaces for 4-10 minutes for the required contact time. However, a paradigm shift in our thinking about cleaning is needed. Killing bacteria is not a viable method, as most of them protect us from the few that can make us sick. Bacteria are a necessary and healthy part of the microbiomes on our bodies and in our living spaces.
Moreover, constant disinfectant use can lead to antibiotic resistance and the destruction of beneficial microbes. We need sustainable cleaning methods that maintain healthy microbiomes and remove harmful biofilms. Probiotic cleaners offer a solution to this dilemma.
The Power of Probiotic Cleaners
Probiotic cleaners contain live beneficial bacteria that produce enzymes to break apart the biofilm matrix. Prōtëkt products, for example, contain 50 million probiotics per mL that activate when sprayed onto surfaces. These millions of tiny cleaning probiotics live on the surface for 3-5 days and produce enzymes that remove the environment where pathogenic bacteria and viruses may live.
Probiotic cleaners offer several advantages over traditional disinfectants. Firstly, there is no required contact time, eliminating the need to wet surfaces for 4-10 minutes. Secondly, probiotics live on the surface for several days, providing continuous cleaning action. Thirdly, probiotics produce enzymes that physically scrub away biofilms, leaving a truly clean and healthy surface.
Transitioning to Sustainable Probiotic Cleaning
To transition to sustainable cleaning, we need to shift our thinking about cleaning. Instead of aiming to disinfect and kill bacteria, we need to focus on physically scrubbing away biofilms and maintaining healthy microbiomes. We can achieve this by incorporating probiotic cleaners into our cleaning routines.
Probiotic cleaners offer several benefits over traditional disinfectants. They do not harm beneficial microbes, do not require extended contact times, and provide continuous cleaning action
