Frequently asked questions

“Probiotics are usually talked about in the context of food, and they’re added to things like yoghurt for health
benefits. They are often described as “good bacteria” since they are thought to help redress the natural
balance of bacteria found in the gut when affected by illness.
That’s in the context of food, but when we talk about probiotics, we are referring to the innovative ways we
use them in cleaning products.
Ordinarily, people use harsh chemicals and corrosive cleaning products for cleaning purposes. n-kind products promote a system that emphasises probiotics at the heart of the cleaning process. They clean with the environment, rather than against it – which is exactly what the corrosive nature of harsh cleaning
products does. The result is a substantially deeper, longer-lasting and more natural clean compared to products that only use chemistry compounds.”

“We want to help pioneer using probiotics in cleaning products. It means that n-kind cleaning products contain living organisms, that have a positive impact on the environment around them. They grow and become active and do lots of good things that chemicals can’t do, such as working continuously,
which in turn provides a deeper clean. Products are essentially fermented bacteria that is concentrated and mixed with green surfactants
to create a cleaning product. Probiotics in cleaning are becoming increasingly important.”

“Probiotics work continuously, providing a longer, deeper clean, in contrast harsh chemicals only last a few
seconds after application. We’re improving safety by using probiotics in cleaning, making them easier to
work with. They are less aggressive than chemical cleaners, which essentially try to lift dirt. Probiotics break
dirt down into small pieces which are easier to lift. This results in improvement of cleaning over a longer
period.”
