Discovering probiotics: their benefits and applications

Monday, 13 May, 2024

Probiotics have currently gained recognition on account of the numerous benefits they provide in addition to the wealth of applications they offer, particularly in the cleaning industry. These microorganisms, which are non-pathogenic bacteria, possess specific enzymes to break down organic matter, converting it into simple compounds like water and carbon dioxide. Probiotics remain inactive in spore form and activate upon contact with water, deploying their cleaning capabilities.

The benefits of probiotics are remarkable. Since they are living organisms, they continue to thrive and reproduce after their application, making them more effective than conventional products. In addition to degrading organic matter, they eliminate odour-causing molecules in pipes and drains, for example. The multitude of functions they perform allows them to adapt to different substrates, providing versatility.

Unlike conventional cleaners, probiotics are not harmful to humans, animals or the environment, making them more sustainable. In industry, they are used in various applications, from wastewater treatment to cleaning in the hospitality sector, covering kitchens, bathrooms and pipes. Our represented company BBA Ecotech offers a wide range of probiotic products, which are ready to use or can be customised, providing effective, environmentally-friendly solutions.
