Is it possible to get a good clean with eco-friendly products?
YES! We created a non-toxic, plant-based, probiotic cleaning spray that freezes all viruses and bacteria, leaving it unable to grow. We wipe all surfaces with it to clear dirt and dust. We’ve done all the research on how to get various surfaces to their former glory with products that are good for your body so that you don’t have to.
Don’t I need antibacterial cleaning?
While we don’t use antibacterial products, our spray and wipe system stops bacteria in its tracks with something called the “static effect”. (1) This effect lets your natural immune system fight off bad bacteria, rather than weakening it by destroying your friendly bacteria.
What is the "Static Effect"?
Great question! A lot of people don’t know that some bacteria are actually good for us! (2) The bacteria on your skin, in your lungs, and your digestive system are the first line of defense against outside invaders (pathogens).
Each of us has a personal collection of bacteria in our bodies called our “microbiome”. (3) From the day you are born, you collect new bacteria every day that help you build your immune system. If you kill all the bacteria around you, good or bad, you end up killing the things that protect you from illness and cancer.
Research suggests when we try to create a “clean environment” by killing all bacteria, we leave ourselves more likely to develop cancer, obesity, and heart disease. (4) This is why we created our cleaning spray to have the “static effect” on bacteria, rather than killing them completely like many of the popular cleaning products do. This effect makes it so that the bacteria stops growing, but it is not completely dead. When you let the good bacteria live, it helps you fight off the bad bacteria you are exposed to.
There’s one other benefit to using the static effect we haven’t mentioned yet:
When you use products that kill bacteria, these smart little organisms will start to hatch plans. They’ll figure out ways that they can grow and change to resist the killers. This is what we know as evolution! When you don’t kill them, you remove their chances to evolve and create new, stronger versions of themselves called multi-resistant organisms. (5) That’s why we prefer probiotic rather than bacteriocidal cleaning.
Probiotic cleaning? What’s that?
Our cleaning formula includes probiotics.
This means that instead of killing the good bacteria that keep your body working smoothly, it introduces helpers into your microbiome that help your good bacteria to develop and improve over time.
These enzymes not only boost your immune system, they help to break down things like grease, mold, mildew, and other undesirables. Probiotic cleaning can actually continue to make your space cleaner for up to a week after we leave your space!
