Embrace the Future of Clean with Probiotic Cleaners

As business operators, you understand the importance of maintaining a clean and safe environment for your staff and customers. But what if we told you there’s an innovative way to clean that’s both effective and sustainable? Enter the world of PROBIOTICS.

With insight from Assistant Product Development Manager Caitlin Pretorious, we unpack how Unilever Professional’s latest breakthrough, the Handy Andy Professional PROBIOTIC Multi-Surface & Floor Cleaner, is set to revolutionise your cleaning routines and catapult YOUR business into the Future of Clean.

The Significance of Probiotic Cleaners

The Global Eco-friendly Cleaning Product market is predicted to rise at a considerable rate between 2023 and 2030.* This trend highlights the increasing demand for sustainable and deep cleaning solutions, making probiotic cleaners a key player in this shift.

While probiotic cleaning technology is not entirely new in the professional space, Unilever Professional’s latest product leverages advanced probiotic technology to deliver superior cleaning performance. This innovative approach provides unique business advantages, offering a powerful and sustainable cleaning solution that aligns with modern environmental and health standards.

What are Probiotics and How Do They Work?

Probiotics are tiny living organisms that provide powerful, ongoing cleaning by digesting and breaking down dirt, germs, and stains. As Caitlin Pretorious, Assistant Product Development Manager, explains, “Probiotics are beneficial bacteria, similar to those we consume for gut health.”

Known as “good bacteria,” probiotics consume dirt and grime, effectively cleaning surfaces. They continue to work over time, maintaining cleanliness with repeated use. This continual cleaning cycle involves probiotics growing, eating dirt, and multiplying, creating a sustainable cleaning process.

Probiotics and their Role as Cleaners

Probiotics in cleaning products consume dirt and grime on surfaces, effectively breaking down organic matter and maintaining cleanliness over time. These beneficial microorganisms create a self-sustaining cleaning process that continues to act long after the initial application. This approach significantly reduces the need for harsh chemicals, offering a safer alternative for users and a more environmentally friendly solution. By harnessing natural mechanisms, probiotic cleaners promote a healthier, more sustainable way to maintain hygiene and cleanliness in your business.
