Why Probiotics | Biomatra

Why Probiotics?

Restoring long-term balance in the way we clean starts with changing how we think about bacteria. Instead of trying to kill them all, Biomatra® uses the power of beneficial probiotics. These natural microorganisms continue working after application, helping to reduce residues and neutralize unpleasant odours in the home, office, car, and more.

Probiotic Cleaning

Most people think bacteria are harmful and must always be eliminated. Yet bacteria have existed for over 4 billion years and continue to thrive. They are not only harmful (pathogenic), but also beneficial (probiotic). When we indiscriminately kill bacteria, we remove both, disturbing the natural microbial balance. Frequent use of aggressive chemicals can even contribute to resistance.

In reality, bacteria are essential for life. They are involved in countless processes vital to humans, animals, and the environment. Increasingly, people are realising: true hygiene means maintaining balance – not sterilising everything.

We are proud to introduce Biomatra®, a Swiss-registered line of innovative probiotic cleaning products that work with nature instead of against it.

Formulated with carefully selected gram-positive Bacillus probiotics – natural soil bacteria with proven cleaning power.
100% probiotic-based, biodegradable, and free of hazard symbols under Swiss and EU law.
Actively clean, neutralise odours, and support microbial balance.
Provide a long-lasting effect (up to 7 days) after application, depending on surface and use.

How Do Probiotic Bacteria Work?

For bacteria to grow, they need nutrients, moisture, the right temperature, and suitable pH. When these conditions are missing, many bacteria survive by forming spores.

Biomatra® probiotic products are based on these natural bacterial spores. Once applied to a surface, the spores encounter favourable conditions and become active. Their main food source is organic matter such as sweat residues, odour-causing substances, or other organic deposits.

By consuming these compounds, the probiotics naturally reduce the food sources available to unwanted microorganisms. Through this competitive process, beneficial bacteria establish themselves on the surface and help limit the growth of undesirable microbes.

The result: a cleaner surface, odour neutralisation, and a more balanced microbial environment.

Health and Environmental Benefits

One of the greatest advantages of probiotic cleaning products is their favourable safety profile. They are based on natural, non-pathogenic microorganisms and contain no substances that require hazard symbols under Swiss or EU regulations.

Biomatra® probiotic cleaners are biodegradable, free of aggressive chemicals, and environmentally sustainable. Once applied, the probiotics help to clean surfaces, neutralise odours, and support a more balanced microbial environment in the home, office, or other indoor spaces.

By breaking down organic residues such as sweat, dust particles, and pet-related odours, they reduce the build-up of substances where allergens can accumulate. This creates a fresher and more comfortable indoor environment.

Because of these qualities, Biomatra® is an excellent choice not only for households with children and pets, but also for professional, hospitality, and public environments where long-lasting cleanliness and sustainability matter.
