BETTER OPTIONS FOR CLEANING PROMOTING A CLEAN HOME AT THE MICROSCOPIC LEVEL
the world because they’re sterilized to reduce the risk of infection. But this sterilization is having an unintended effect: it breeds superbugs — drug-resistant microbes that have evolved to outlive the medicines we use to fight them, such as antibiotics. Products containing probiotics add good bacteria back into the environment while decreasing the amount of bad bacteria, leading more and more people to turn to them. Probiotic cleaners clean long after they’ve been applied to a surface, and they reduce the number of allergens found in your home, such as pet dander, dust mites, and mold. In addition, they’re nontoxic, so they give you not just a cleaner home but a safer one. Here at Naked Clean, the maids offer probiotic cleaning because we know how effective it is. With an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau and the system we provide to connect disadvantaged workers with income opportunities, Naked Clean is your trusted source for a cleaner home.

When you look at your counters, do you see any germs? Silly question, right? Unless you’re looking through a microscope, those little organisms are too small to observe. You used your antibacterial cleaner and said goodbye. There’s no visual evidence they’re gone, but the antibacterial cleaner says they are — right? In reality, you killed most of the bacteria, but some got left behind. The bacteria that survived can now become stronger, creating what is often called a superbug. These are the organisms responsible for causing outbreaks of serious disease, and many everyday cleaning products actually worsen the problem. The idea of adding bacteria to your home might sound counterintuitive, but it’s exactly what makes probiotic cleaning so effective. When researchers from Europe and the U.S. set out to study the effects of probiotic cleaners in hospital and University settings, they found considerably fewer strains (84% reduction!) of pathogen-related bacteria/infections, like MRSA, E. coli, and Staph. Hospitals are (presumably) already some of the cleanest places in Probiotics to the rescue.
