What are microbes doing in your household cleaner?

You may have noticed new cleaning products on store shelves that use tiny microbes to tackle big messes.
Microbes have been used to precision clean parts, restore artworks, remediate oil spills, treat wastewater, and create powerful household and industrial cleaning product formulations.
This process of using microbes to breakdown contaminants and promote cleanliness is part of a broader concept called bioremediation. Bioremediation is a natural solution to contamination mitigation that processes waste in an environmentally friendly way.
This article will explain how microbial cleaning works, how its uses have evolved over time, and the benefits of these types of cleaners.
