Probiotics: 250 million cleaning agents on the ground
Health and ecology are gaining more attention in the cleaning industry. The impact of chemical cleaning products on your body and the environment is greater than you think. Green detergents are at the heart of the solution, and probiotics represent one of these green alternatives. But what exactly are they?
Dirt and probiotics...
What is dirt?
Dirt typically contains a mix of organic waste (from plants and animals) and inorganic or mineral matter. This dirt, combined with the presence of bacteria, can lead to unpleasant odors.
Are probiotics the solution?
Yes, they are! When you clean with probiotics, you leave behind a layer of good bacteria on the floor. These bacteria need food to survive, and they look for it in their immediate surroundings. And the solution? Make organic dirt their primary food source!
There's just one small problem: bacteria don't have mouths! In other words, if probiotics want to feed on dirt, they need another way to consume it. When feeding, probiotics secrete a substance known as enzymes. These enzymes break down dirt so that the bacteria can easily ingest it That means a specific enzyme is needed for each type of dirt. Fortunately, a single bacterium can produce many different types of enzymes.
How bacteria and enzymes work
BOMA now directly markets Greenspeed's probiotic products (Probio Multi, Probio San & Probio Floor Scrub). All three variants contain different blends of bacteria for different types of dirt, with 50 million bacteria per ml! That way, you're always using the ideal bacteria for the kind of dirt you're dealing with.

The bacteria which are specifically added help eliminate dirt by using it as a food source. They also compete with existing bacteria to consume that food source. If you continue applying probiotics regularly to a dirty area, they'll gradually multiply for sure. They'll then eliminate foul odors and remove the dirt.
Why are probiotics so beneficial?
Using probiotic cleaners offers several advantages over more traditional chemical cleaners:
Deep cleaning: probiotic cleaners remove organic dirt deep down. The result looks visibly better!
Odor elimination: you're not just masking odors with artificial scents. Using probiotic cleaners is both a preventive and corrective treatment.
Environmental benefits: Probio cleaners are made from 100% natural organisms. After use, when they enter the environment, they actively help purify water and support a balanced microbial ecosystem.
Safety: because Probio products carry no hazard symbols, that means they are perfectly safe to use.
How to use Probio?
Using probiotics is as easy as opening a box of cookies: it's hard to go wrong!
- Shake the bottle before use.
- Pour 25 ml into a 5-liter bucket or spray bottle, or add 40 ml into an 8-liter bucket.
- Clean the dirty surface with a microfiber cloth. There's no need to rinse.
And that's it! If the surfaces are very dirty, simply double the dosage.
