Did you know probiotic products can help you clean your home?

When you think of probiotics, gut health likely first comes to mind. Whether it is fermented foods such as yogurt, kombucha and sauerkraut, or vitamin supplements and skin care, probiotics are widely accepted as microscopic powerhouses. What may surprise you is that the benefits of probiotics go beyond the digestive tract. In fact, probiotics are beneficial in your home as well, thanks to their long-lasting cleaning power.

Small and mighty probiotics

Probiotics are naturally occurring friendly bacteria present all around us and inside us. The preposition “pro” means “for” in Latin, and “biotic” means “life” in Greek, so probiotic literally means “for life.” These good bacteria have inherent cleaning properties that can be used to efficiently clean interior spaces.

Probiotics are cleaning superstars

Digestible food, drink and supplement probiotics are good for the gut, eliminating and balancing out unhealthy bacteria, but probiotics can also be used in products to help clean your house. These types of cleaners are growing in popularity because of their long-lasting cleaning benefits and as people are seeking more natural ways to clean their homes.

One effective, long-lasting daily probiotic cleaner is CLR Active Clear, a USDA Certified Biobased Product. This multipurpose cleaner is safe to use on 30-plus surfaces, including ceramic, granite, stainless steel and more.

Leveraging the power of probiotics, these types of cleaners can tackle dirt and grime to help clean a home more efficiently and safely. You can feel good about using a biobased cleaner because you are not putting toxic chemicals into your home or into Mother Nature, unlike more traditional bacteria-tackling household cleaners that use harsh ingredients.

Probiotics just keep cleaning

And to top it off, probiotics do not stop cleaning when you do. CLR Active Clear’s 3-in-1 action cleans dirt and grime, fights odors and continues working for up to three days after applied.

Whether you are tackling the bathroom, cleaning the kitchen or tidying the playroom, think before you spray. Probiotics help keep surfaces clean long after you have cleaned.
