Do you have a mold issue in your home or commercial building? Mold should be dealt with immediately in any building, as it can lead to structural damage and serious health problems.
While traditional cleaners can help eliminate mold, many are filled with chemicals that are hazardous to breathe in. If you’re looking for a solution to a mold problem, chances are, the last thing you want to do is add harsh chemicals to the mix.
That’s where microbial cleaners come in. They’re a safe, environmentally friendly solution that is just as effective as harsh, chemical-based cleaners. By using natural enzymes and microorganisms, bio-remediation experts can safely break down mold, grime, bacteria, oil, and other contaminants at the molecular level, getting rid of them for good.
In this article, we’ll explain what a microbial cleaner is, how it works, and why it’s a safe and effective tool for bio-remediation.
What Is Microbial Cleaner?
Microbial cleaning is an innovative, non-toxic, and eco-friendly method for breaking down harmful pollutants. These cleaning products make use of natural bacteria and microorganisms that degrade contaminants into harmless byproducts like water, carbon dioxide, and other simple organic compounds.
Microbial cleaners offer a sustainable alternative to traditional, chemical-filled cleaning methods. They can clean anything from mold to oils to other environmental pollutants, all without causing additional damage to surfaces or harming the environment.
How Does Microbial Cleaner Work?
In nature, bacteria and fungi are nature’s decomposers. They feed on and eliminate waste, keeping the environment clean. Bio-remediation experts understand this process and use it to their advantage when they’re cleaning your home or building.
While introducing new microorganisms to your home or commercial property may seem counterintuitive, certain microbes are actually beneficial. They can consume, neutralize, and eliminate substances like mold, grease, and oil.
When microbial cleaners are applied to surfaces or environments, the microorganisms feed on the contaminants or pollutants present, effectively breaking them down and converting them into substances that are safe for people.
Where Can Microbial Cleaners Be Used?
Households
You may have noticed microbial cleaning products appearing on store shelves recently. These products efficiently break down organic stains and grime in kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing, and other areas around your home. They’re a great choice for families who want to maintain a clean and healthy environment without introducing harsh chemicals.
Microbial cleaners aren’t just for day-to-day cleaning, either. If your home sustains water damage, it can develop mold, mildew, stains, and unpleasant odors. Not only is mold unpleasant to look at, but long-term exposure can seriously impact your family’s health.
Bring in a bio-remediation professional to treat the problem as soon as possible. They’ll have the expertise and the microbial cleaning products to specifically target the root cause of household molds, getting rid of the problem.
Commercial Buildings
Commercial buildings can also benefit from microbial cleaners. For years, most commercial buildings have been kept clean with chemical products. These cleaners are effective at eliminating odors, sanitizing surfaces, and breaking down oils and grease. However, they also introduce hazardous, strong-smelling chemicals into the building.
Especially here in the Pacific Northwest, more and more people are looking for safer, eco-friendly solutions to keep commercial spaces clean and sanitized for employees and customers. Microbial cleaners are among the best and safest ways to do just that.
Industrial Spaces
Industrial environments have unique cleaning needs. Grease, oils, and other stubborn contaminants can have a serious impact on workplace safety.
Microbial cleaners help in achieving a true deep clean, ensuring that your facility is safe and compliant with all industry standards. With the help of microbial cleaners and other non-toxic solutions like dry ice blasting and laser ablation, bioremediation experts can ensure your machinery and facility are spotless—without using corrosive chemicals.
What Are the Advantages of Microbial Cleaners?
Biodegradability
Traditional chemical cleaners often leave harmful residue behind, which can take years to fully break down. Microbial cleaners, on the other hand, are fully biodegradable. The natural bacteria and enzymes in these cleaners will decompose into harmless byproducts, such as water, and they won’t contaminate your home or commercial environment.
Non-Toxic
Your home shouldn’t make you sick; neither should the products you use to clean it. But many cleaning products contain compounds like ammonia, chlorine, or phosphates, all of which can be harmful to you and your family’s health.
Microbial cleaners rely on naturally occurring microorganisms and enzymes that pose no harm to humans or animals. They’re a safe, non-toxic choice for homes, commercial buildings, and industrial spaces.
Targeted Cleaning
There’s nothing more frustrating than cleaning a surface only for the problem to reappear a short time later.
That won’t happen with effective bio-remediation. Microbial cleaners work by targeting the underlying source of the problem. The highly selective microorganisms will completely break down and neutralize contaminants like mold spores, even ones that might not be visible to the human eye. This highly targeted approach to cleaning ensures a long-lasting solution.
A Sustainable Solution
The Pacific Northwest is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It’s no wonder that so many of us are trying to do our part to reduce our environmental impact.
The reality is that chemicals from harsh cleaning products don’t just disappear. They get into the air and water supply and can seriously impact the health of our communities, wildlife, and ecosystem.
Fortunately, eco-friendly products like microbial cleaners are becoming more common. Over time, we hope that more companies within the cleaning industry will use these natural solutions to reduce the impact we have on our planet.
