Synbiotic fogging & misting

Name: Synbiotic fogging & misting
Brand: HeiQ

Designed for microbial surface cleaning through fogging and misting

We support cleaning and facility care formulators in applying synbiotic cleaning through fogging and misting systems. By dispersing synbiotics as a fine mist, probiotics and prebiotics settle evenly on surfaces, including areas that are difficult to reach with manual cleaning. After application, probiotics remain active on treated surfaces and continue breaking down organic residues linked to odors and allergens.

Key benefits

Formulated with synbiotics (probiotics and prebiotics)
Fine mist application enables even surface coverage, including hard‑to‑reach areas
Maintains microbial activity on treated surfaces for several days after application
Enables continuous cleaning between applications through ongoing soil breakdown
Available as concentrates for fogging or misting systems, including private and white‑label solutions

HeiQ Synbio fogging and misting — Applied by fogging, probiotics reach surfaces and remove organic residue in tiny cracks.

Applications

Fogging and misting apply the cleaning solution evenly across rooms, surfaces, and equipment in different industries.

Room and space treatment

For fogging or misting of rooms and enclosed spaces, where synbiotics settle on surfaces to support routine soil, odor, and allergen breakdown as part of surface care programs.
High‑touch and complex surfaces

For areas with furniture, equipment, or surface geometries that are difficult to reach manually, supporting uniform microbial surface coverage through misting.
Professional and facility cleaning

For use in professional environments where fogging or misting complements manual cleaning to extend cleaning effects beyond manual application.
Periodic maintenance applications

For scheduled misting applications between manual cleaning cycles, supporting ongoing surface cleanliness through microbial cleaning.

In fogging and misting applications, synbiotics are dispersed as a fine mist that settles evenly across surfaces. Once applied, prebiotics activate the probiotics on the surface. The probiotics then continue producing enzymes over time, breaking down organic residues left behind after cleaning. Unlike cleaners that rely only on added enzymes, this ongoing enzyme production enables continued cleaning between applications.

Probiotics continuously produce enzymes that break down organic dirt, which they then consume.

In fogging and misting applications, synbiotics are a combination of probiotics and prebiotics dispersed as a fine mist. Prebiotics activate the probiotics when the product is applied, enabling enzyme production that supports breakdown of organic soils on surfaces. This process also supports control of organic odors and allergens after application.

Manual cleaning relies on direct physical contact with surfaces. Synbiotic fogging complements manual cleaning by enabling uniform coverage, including hard‑to‑reach areas, and by supporting continued biological cleaning after application.

Yes. HeiQ Synbio fogging and misting solutions are designed for repeated maintenance applications as part of surface care programs.
Success story: Trauma cleaning with synbiotics in Japan

Kai Corporation, a Japan-based provider of odor control solutions, started out with synbiotic cleaning by introducing it into specialized trauma cleaning services for kodokushi (lonely death) rooms.

HeiQ partner Kai Corporation, a Japan-based provider of odor control solutions, introduced synbiotic cleaning into specialized trauma cleaning services for kodokushi (lonely death) rooms, where unattended deaths often lead to deeply embedded and persistent odors. Initially, odor control relied mainly on ozone machines, which typically required about a week of treatment and did not always prevent odors from returning from walls, fine cracks, or drain systems. Seeking a more effective approach, Kai Corporation integrated synbiotic cleaning products into these workflows around 2017.
Cleaning teams observed noticeably faster odor reduction, often within two days, compared with ozone-only processes, and odors were fully eliminated. Feedback from cleaning providers and residents indicated reduced odor persistence and no more odor-related complaints in surrounding areas. Synbiotic cleaning proved effective at reaching odor sources that were difficult to access with conventional treatments. As Riichiro Hosogai, President of Kai Corporation, explains: “In trauma cleaning, speed and reliability matter. By adding synbiotic cleaning to our processes, we were able to address odors more deeply and support cleaning professionals working in extremely challenging situations.” This experience became a foundation for Kai Corporation’s broader adoption of synbiotic cleaning technologies across professional and consumer applications in Japan.

Webinar: Synbiotics. Microbial cleaning backed by data.

Are you working with microbial cleaning, or considering it for your product range? In this webinar, you gain clear insight into how synbiotic cleaning performs, based on laboratory data.

Are you working with microbial cleaning, or considering it for your product range? Synbiotic cleaning goes beyond a one-time effect by supporting continued activity after use. It combines probiotics with prebiotics to maintain cleaning performance for several days. This approach has moved from a niche concept to an established solution, now used by a growing number of companies.
In this webinar, you gain clear insight into how synbiotic cleaning performs, based on laboratory data. The session includes five-day test results showing continued microbial activity and cleaning performance over time. You also learn how to add synbiotic cleaning and laundry products to your range using white label solutions, without building your own R&D.

News: HeiQ launches Precision Fermentation Lab to accelerate biotech innovation
November 4, 2025
HeiQ launches its new Precision Fermentation Laboratory in Switzerland, making a decisive leap forward in sustainable biotechnology.

HeiQ launches its new Precision Fermentation Laboratory in Switzerland, making a decisive leap forward in sustainable biotechnology. The state-of-the-art facility serves as center of excellence for developing high-purity microbial postbiotic actives, innovative ingredients poised to transform industries traditionally dependent on petrochemical or agricultural resources.

With this new hub, HeiQ reinforces its leadership in the rapidly expanding precision fermentation sector, advancing bio-based performance materials for wound care, cosmetics, textiles, packaging, hygiene, and water treatment. The global precision fermentation market is projected to grow from USD 4.25 billion in 2024 to USD 290.03 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate of 46.8%¹. “Precision fermentation is a turning point for sustainable material science,” said Dr. Robin Temmerman, Head of HeiQ Life Sciences. “Through this lab, we are unlocking the power of microorganisms to craft the next generation of actives that combine outstanding performance, purity, and genuine sustainability”.
