Partnering with microbes in your cleaning products
We share the world with microbes. Rather than remove these beneficial bacteria through over-sanitization, we can join forces with them to keep our environments healthy, safe and clean. Read our article to learn more about microbial cleaners.
Embracing microbes for a healthier clean
Microbes work to continuously remove soil on surfaces for days, offering a deeper clean even between the microscopic cracks and crevices on the surface. Microbial cleaners are biological cleaning aids that continuously break down grime and deep cleans organic stain residues at home. This is especially critical as consumers increase sanitization practices and seek out both powerful performance cleaners and those that balance health, safety and environmental sustainability.
Rethink your notion of clean
Not all bacteria are created equal — beneficial bacteria such as Novonesis' Bacillus bacterial blends produce nearly 70 different cleaning enzymes. Novonesis' probiotic cleaners work harmoniously within the home's natural microbiome (a combination of invisible life of microorganisms inside the home), targeting tough residues and stains left behind from cooking and tackling hidden dirt and grime with biological solutions. Learn more about Novonesis' insights into living in a microbial world and the benefits of microbial cleaning.
We share the world with microbes. Together, we can join forces with nature and microbes within our homes without removing beneficial bacteria through over-sanitization. Formulating with Novonesis' microbial technology lets nature in, with sustainable products that support a more balanced and healthier home microbiome.
