Probiotic cleaning detergent

Designed for probiotic surface cleaning in detergent formulations

We support cleaning brands and formulators in offering probiotic cleaning detergents for everyday surface care. HeiQ VivoTech uses probiotics that remain active on surfaces during and after cleaning, helping break down residues left behind after the initial wash or wipe. This ongoing cleaning activity helps manage odor and allergen buildup on surfaces.

    HeiQ VivoTech uses probiotics that become active on surfaces during cleaning. The probiotics produce enzymes over time, breaking down organic residues left behind after the initial wash or wipe. Unlike cleaners that rely only on added enzymes, probiotic cleaning continues through ongoing biological activity, supporting longer‑lasting cleanliness and odor control.

    HeiQ Synbio cleaning MOA
    Probiotics continuously produce enzymes that break down organic dirt, which they then consume.

  • HeiQ’s microbial cleaning solutions have helped TOMENA ECO deliver consistent, biology-based cleaning in healthcare and institutional settings.

    HeiQ partner TOMENA ECO, based in Croatia, specializes in professional and institutional cleaning, serving demanding environments such as healthcare facilities. For more than five years, the company has relied on microbial cleaning based on probiotic technology as the foundation of its cleaning approach. Probiotic cleaners are used across sanitary areas, floors, interior surfaces, degreasing applications, and grease management, forming a consistent system for daily cleaning operations. In specific use cases, such as allergen‑ and pet‑related environments, synbiotic sprays complement the otherwise probiotic‑based cleaning portfolio.
     

    This biology‑based approach is applied as an alternative to conventional chemical cleaning products, supporting stable routines in high‑traffic institutional settings. The solutions have been implemented in particularly demanding environments, including hospital cleaning applications in Zagreb.
     

    “Microbial cleaning has become a natural part of how we deliver professional cleaning services, and it fits well into our long‑term operational model,” says Ivan, representative at TOMENA ECO d.o.o.
     

    Our long‑standing collaboration illustrates how microbial cleaning solutions can be integrated reliably into institutional and healthcare cleaning over many years.
