The Advantages of Probiotic Cleaning Products

By harnessing the power of good bacteria, we've formulated the most effective way of cleaning that protects you, your loved ones and the planet from toxic chemicals.

An Introduction to Probiotic Cleaning

Your home is a complex ecosystem teeming with microscopic life, and the way you clean it directly impacts its balance. Traditional cleaning products often rely on harsh chemicals that wipe out both harmful and beneficial bacteria, creating a sterile environment that can be easily recolonised by opportunistic, disease-causing microbes. Probiotic cleaning, on the other hand, works with nature rather than against it.

By introducing beneficial bacteria, probiotic cleaners create a self-sustaining microbial balance that actively breaks down dirt, grime, and organic matter long after you've finished cleaning. These helpful microbes continue working on surfaces for hours or even days, outcompeting harmful bacteria and reducing the need for frequent deep cleans. This ongoing activity makes probiotic cleaning highly effective, not just for removing visible dirt but for addressing odours and biofilms that chemical cleaners often fail to eradicate. Instead of masking smells with artificial fragrances, probiotics target the root cause, breaking down odour-causing compounds at a microbial level.

Good Bacteria, Not Toxic Chemicals

One of the greatest advantages of probiotic cleaning is that it eliminates the need for toxic chemicals, making it a safer choice for both your home and the environment. Many conventional cleaning products contain substances like ammonia, bleach, and synthetic surfactants, which can irritate the skin, eyes, and respiratory system - not to mention their harmful effects when washed down the drain into waterways.

Probiotic cleaners, in contrast, use naturally occurring bacteria to do the heavy lifting, providing a deep clean without introducing harsh toxins into your living space. This makes them particularly beneficial for households with children, pets, or individuals with allergies and sensitivities. By switching to probiotics, you're not just maintaining a cleaner home—you’re fostering a healthier indoor environment where beneficial microbes thrive, reducing exposure to harmful chemicals while supporting a more sustainable way of cleaning.

Humans rely on bacteria in innumerable ways. Our bodies contain as many bacteria as they do human cells. Among the species that live in us and on us are those that help repair our skin, tune our immune system and control how our fat is stored. This kind of coexistence is called symbiosis mutualism as it benefits both partners. At Clean Living we encourage a similar symbiosis by including live bacteria in our cleaning products.

The average person is exposed to 200 different chemicals per day from personal care and cleaning products alone! These toxins come into contact with our skin, are breathed in, or even ingested. Over time our bodies experience adverse health symptoms from an increased toxin load in our bloodstream (for example worsening allergies, respiratory conditions, poor gut health and inflammation), with women more likely to be affected than men.

The healthy strains of bacteria in our products feed off the organic dirt and grime in the home, enabling them to multiply. The dirt then becomes easy to wipe away, while the harmful bacteria, viruses and moulds find it difficult to survive if and when they return.
