What Exactly Are Probiotics?

The World Health Organization defines Probiotic as meaning, "for life". "A probiotic is a living beneficial bacteria that when given in adequate amounts, confers a health benefit on its host."

In Nature, there are both good and bad bacteria from a human's perspective. When most of us hear the term bacteria we usually think of a germ - but this couldn't be further from the truth. By far, the larger percentage of bacteria in our bodies are absolutely necessary for our health. Usually, favorable bacteria coexist harmoniously but when harmful microorganisms gain the upper hand, we can become sick.

As in all of Nature, good (probiotic) bacteria and bad are competing to survive. So loosely speaking, if you have SIGNIFICANTLY more probiotic bacteria then bad, you'll have a safer, healthier environment. This is the remarkable balance of Nature.

This is a VERY different concept when applied to house cleaning and may take a while to grasp. All of our lives we have been taught to think in terms of 'killing' germs. So when we use a disinfectant or other toxic cleaner we are essentially killing ALL the bacteria, both good and bad. Now, why in the world we want to kill 90% of the microorganisms which we absolutely need in order to remain healthy?

Today it is fairly common knowledge that we have over-done the toxic killing. Many doctors today are reluctant to prescribe antibiotics because they kill both the good and bad microbes. Maybe you have had personal experience where a doctor will prescribe both an 'anti-biotic' and a 'pro-biotic' simultaneously? Doctors are doing this in order to off-set the killing of all bacteria. Probiotics clean at the microscopic level because there is simply a larger quantity of the good guys preventing germs from over-taking the environment. Technically, it's called "competitive exclusion." Microbes fighting it out for survival.

One last point: our patented probiotic cleaners will keep on working up to 72 hours AFTER we clean your home. This means that your home will continually get cleaner and cleaner as time goes by. Now, how nice is that!
