Placeholder. Instead of killing bacteria like every other cleaning spray, one new household cleaner sprays beneficial bacteria strains onto surfaces that then keep actively cleaning for days afterward — an approach that explicitly protects a home's 'microbiome' rather than sterilizing it.
What we've found so far: Unilever's Cif Infinite Clean uses beneficial bacteria strains that continue working at a microscopic level after the initial application, a genuine category-defining departure from the sterilize-everything approach standard across household cleaning.
Open research: Interview a microbiologist on the actual science and safety of probiotic surface cleaning; check how this compares conceptually to probiotic skincare's rise over the past several years.
