Probiotics for Your Home: A Smarter Kind of Clean.

Probiotics for Your Home: A Smarter Kind of Clean.

In a space full of shortcuts, we built for depth.

The Natuary Household Cleaning Concentrate wasn’t designed to be trendy or merely “natural.” It was made to deliver measurable results while respecting the ecosystem of your home. It’s minimal in design, maximal in performance, and grounded in science that respects your space.

The Core: Probiotics with Purpose 

Most household cleaners aim to wipe everything away, including the beneficial bacteria. Like our skin or our gut, our homes have their own unique microbial ecosystems. Our cleaner works with this ecosystem, not against it, by introducing beneficial microbes that help establish a healthier, more balanced microbial environment.

Each strain was chosen for its ability to produce targeted enzymes. 

  • Lipase targets grease - it's what works on stubborn cooking oils, greasy stovetops, and grimy fingerprints around the kitchen.
  • Protease breaks down protein, making it perfect for messes like dried-on food spills, splashes of milk, or bloodstains.
  • Amylase goes after starch, which is the main component of food messes like sticky pasta sauces, caked-on oatmeal, and starchy spills on countertops.
  • Cellulase handles plant messes by breaking down cellulose, making it effective on dirt and grime from potted plants, grass stains, or muddy footprints.

These strains stay shelf-stable in the concentrate, and remain dormant even after dilution until they come into contact with specific types of organic matter on a surface. 

The process is incredibly smart: once they come into contact with a surface, the probiotics will "wake up" in response to the organic matter they're built to break down, and begin producing their targeted enzymes to get the job done.

The effect? Surfaces that stay cleaner between cleanings. A more resilient home microbiome. And a system that works smarter the longer you use it.

The Formula: Every Ingredient Has a Role

While the probiotics handle the slow-release cleanse, our sugar-based surfactants take care of the instant work:

  • Decyl + Lauryl Glucoside: Break down dirt and grease without stripping or leaving residue.
  • Sodium Sesquicarbonate: A mineral that loosens stuck-on grime and supports pH stability.
  • Sodium Citrate: Softens water and enhances rinse performance.
  • Quaternary Alkyl Glucoside: A powerful but gentle compound that breaks down stubborn buildup by bonding with dirt on a molecular level.

No synthetic fragrances. No hormone disruptors. Just active ingredients that do the job and leave behind a clean surface with a living layer of probiotics that keep working after you’re done.

The System: One Concentrate, Three Bottles

Cleaning isn’t one-size-fits-all. So we designed a flexible model that adapts to your messes, not the other way around. You can use the cleaning concentrate with your own bottles or with our beautifully custom refillable glass spray bottles - each with a different purpose, dilution ratio, and use case.

  • Everyday Clean Bottle
    Dilution: Fill with water to the Water line, add concentrate to the Soap line, and top off with water.
    Or dilute 1 part concentrate to 13 parts water.
    Use: Counters, sealed wood, tile, fridge shelves, toys
    Result: Gentle daily refresh with long-lasting surface balance
  • Deep Clean Bottle
    Dilution: Fill with water to the Water line, add concentrate to the Soap line, and top off with water.
    Or dilute 1 part concentrate to 9 parts water
    Use: Bathrooms, baseboards, garbage bins, shower walls
    Result: Stronger clean for high-grime zones, no toxic film
  • Floors + Windows Bottle
    Dilution: 1-2 drops per 14 oz of water
    Use: Glass, mirrors, hardwood, low-dirt areas
    Result: Streak-free shine without buildup or haze

Our glass spray bottles are made from high-density white glass, finished with a non-slip silicone base and precision-engineered spray nozzle. The lines are clean, the silhouette sleek. We wanted something you’d leave on your counter, not hide under the sink. Because everyday rituals deserve better tools.

The True Value of a Smarter Clean

The intelligent design of our cleaning system extends beyond its performance - it's built for incredible value. One bottle of the Household Cleaning Concentrate yields:

  • 10 bottles of Everyday Clean at $2.03 per bottle (~ $0.14/oz) AND

  • 6 bottles of Deep Clean at $3.04 per bottle (~ $0.21/oz) AND

  • Dozens of bottles of Floors + Windows cleaner at less than penny per bottle

How to approach Showers + Tubs

To clean showers and tubs, spray all surfaces using the Deep Clean dilution. Wipe or scrub where needed. For buildup in areas like grout lines, corners, and around drains you could sprinkle in some OxyBoost during the cleaning process! After cleaning, rinse everything thoroughly.

Even with rinsing, the probiotics don’t fully disappear. Once they come into contact with organic matter, they activate and continue working behind the scenes helping your surfaces stay cleaner between deep cleans. If you want to extend that effect, you can do a quick post-rinse spray in corners or problem areas. Just avoid coating the floors of tubs and showers to prevent slipping.

Clean, Then Nourish

Cleaning can be about more than removal. When done right, it becomes a restorative practice, one that leaves behind wellness, not residue. That’s what our concentrate is designed to do. Clean visibly. Work invisibly. 

It empowers you to truly own the space you live in, down to the microscopic level. From surface-clean to system-deep, this is what a more resilient clean should feel like.
