Our YOKUU bacteria clean by releasing enzymes that break down organic matter into simpler compounds, effectively reducing grime and biofilms on surfaces. These enzymes target organic material like fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, decomposing them to ensure the surface remains clean and free of harmful microorganisms. Studies show that enzyme release from spores enhances cleaning efficacy and persistence on surfaces, even in challenging environments [1].

The bacteria in our products are added as sporesa. They are in a dormant state until activated by the presence of nutrients, which prevents spoilage and ensures long shelf life. Spores are highly resilient to temperature fluctuations, chemical interactions, and handling stresses during storage. This resilience allows microbial cleaning products to maintain bacterial integrity and efficacy over time [2].

The bacteria in our cleaners have been evaluated for safety, showing minimal risk for inhalation or dermal exposure due to their non-pathogenic nature. Studies have shown that these bacteria are safe for human contact, as they do not produce toxins that are harmful to humans or pets, making them suitable for home and industrial use [1].

When applied to surfaces, spore-forming bacteria activate in the presence of nutrients and start releasing enzymes to break down organic residues. This enzymatic activity continues over time, providing a lasting clean effect that prevents the reaccumulation of dirt and biofilm. This ongoing action has been validated in studies that highlight the long-term efficacy of microbial-based cleaning products (MBCPs) in both domestic and industrial environments [3].

Unlike conventional cleaners, which may sanitize or sterilize surfaces entirely, probiotics encourage a balanced microbiome on surfaces. The presence of non-pathogenic bacteria can outcompete harmful bacteria, preventing their growth and re-establishing a natural balance on treated surfaces. This approach is both environmentally friendly and effective over time, as highlighted in research on microbial-based cleaning products [4].

By promoting beneficial bacteria, microbial-based cleaning products reduce harmful microbes and allergens on surfaces. This balanced microbiome approach ensures that potentially pathogenic bacteria have less opportunity to establish themselves, thereby reducing the risk of infections and improving indoor air quality. The protective effect has been demonstrated in multiple studies, supporting the microbial approach as beneficial for household and commercial cleaning [4].

Studies on bacteria used in our products show that they have low toxicity and do not produce harmful by-products, making them safe for environments with pets. The spore-forming bacteria in these cleaners are non-pathogenic and do not interfere with pet health when used as directed [1].

Research indicates that microbial cleaning agents can continue working on surfaces for several days after application. The residual bacterial presence maintains enzymatic activity, which helps prevent dirt buildup and reestablishes a favorable microbiome. Studies have confirmed this extended activity window, showing lasting effectiveness in reducing biofilm formation and harmful bacterial populations [3].

By breaking down organic residues that commonly harbor allergens like dust mites and mold, probiotic cleaners reduce the presence of these triggers. Studies on microbial cleaning products have shown their effectiveness in reducing common household allergens and supporting better indoor air quality [4].

Probiotic cleaners are biodegradable and non-toxic, minimizing chemical residue and environmental pollution. Unlike traditional chemical cleaners, these products use naturally occurring microorganisms, which can help maintain ecological balance. This eco-friendly approach aligns with sustainable practices by reducing water pollution and supporting soil and water microbiomes [2].

While microbial cleaners are effective on their own, combining them with strong chemical disinfectants can reduce their efficacy, as these chemicals kill the beneficial microbes.
