In industries such as hospitality, healthcare, and commercial cleaning, maintaining a clean and safe environment is crucial, yet increasingly challenging due to rising operational costs, staff shortages, and the limitations of traditional cleaning products. The UK hospitality sector has experienced an 83% increase in job vacancies, with nearly 45% of businesses cutting hours or capacity to manage these staffing issues. In healthcare and commercial spaces, the need for cleanliness extends beyond aesthetics to ensuring environments are free from harmful bacteria and viruses, making the selection of effective cleaning solutions more critical than ever.
Fortunately, Biohygiene provides a smarter, safer, and more sustainable approach to cleaning. By utilising powerful natural bacteria and enzymes, biotech-driven cleaning products deliver deeper cleaning, long-lasting protection, and significant cost savings. This innovative solution not only enhances cleanliness but also promotes a healthier and more sustainable work environment, addressing the pressing challenges faced by these industries.
How does Biohygiene Work?
Biotechnology-based cleaning solutions use specific strains of bacteria and their enzymes to break down organic waste at the molecular level. This makes biotech products more effective than traditional chemical cleaners, which often just remove dirt from the surface or leave behind harmful residues. By breaking down fats, proteins, starches, and even uric acid, these enzymes provide a more thorough clean while reducing the need for toxic chemicals.
Biohygiene identified the most effective enzymes for cleaning tasks:
Lipase breaks down fats, oils, and greases.
Amylase targets starches found in foods like pasta and potatoes.
Cellulase handles cellulose, which is common in vegetable matter.
Protease breaks down protein-rich residues like meat and cheese.
Uricase targets uric acid which is particularly useful in bathroom and healthcare settings.
By targeting specific waste molecules, these enzymes ensure a deeper clean. But their benefits don’t stop there—they also offer long-lasting residual cleaning action, which means they keep working long after the initial application.
Transforming Cleaning in the Hospitality Industry
In the hospitality industry, maintaining a clean and welcoming environment is crucial for guest satisfaction. However, traditional cleaning products like QUATs (Quaternary Ammonium Compounds) often leave sticky residues that not only contribute to unsightly surfaces but also increase the workload for already overburdened staff. These chemicals can cause health issues, exacerbating retention challenges in an industry already struggling with staffing shortages.
Biohygiene products present a revolutionary alternative by breaking down organic matter at the source. Which effectively eliminates odours and extends cleanliness with their residual cleaning action. This leads to less frequent maintenance, saving time and money for businesses. In high-traffic areas like restaurant kitchens, biotech enzymes such as Lipase and Amylase tackle common grease and food waste issues, ensuring clean surfaces without the risks associated with harsh chemicals, thus protecting both equipment and staff safety.
Safer and More Effective Healthcare Cleaning
The healthcare industry faces unique cleaning challenges, as hospitals and clinics must prioritise not only cleanliness but also sterility to minimize the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). Traditional cleaning methods often rely on harsh chemicals like bleach and disinfectants, which can pose risks to both patients and staff through harmful fumes, skin irritation, and residues that may contribute to antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Biohygiene offers a safer and more effective cleaning solution by utilizing natural bacteria and enzymes to break down organic materials, achieving hospital-grade cleanliness without harmful chemicals. Enzymes such as Protease and Uricase effectively tackle proteins and uric acid found in bodily fluids, enhancing surface cleanliness while reducing germ spread and odours. Biohygiene products are versatile, and suitable for a variety of surfaces—including floors, walls, and medical equipment—without damaging sensitive materials. Their residual cleaning action ensures ongoing effectiveness, contributing to infection control and providing a safer environment for patients, particularly those with respiratory issues or weakened immune systems.
Commercial Cleaning Made Easier and Safer
Cleanliness in commercial spaces—such as offices, shopping centres and gyms—is vital for the health, productivity, and satisfaction of both employees and customers. However, traditional cleaning products, especially those containing petroleum-based solvents and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contribute to indoor air pollution and health issues, often necessitating multiple cleaning steps. These solvents, while effective at removing grease and grime, can leave sticky residues, creating additional work for staff and increasing slip hazards, particularly in environments like commercial kitchens.
In contrast, Biohygiene products offer a safer and more efficient solution. Enzymes such as Lipase and Cellulase effectively degrade organic materials at the source, preventing residue build-up and reducing scrubbing time. By eliminating VOCs and harsh chemicals, Biohygiene products enhance indoor air quality, making them ideal for busy commercial environments.
Additionally, these cleaners can be highly concentrated and diluted, allowing businesses to simplify their cleaning range and tackle up to 80% of their cleaning needs with just four core products. This rationalization streamlines inventory management, reduces storage requirements, and facilitates faster staff training while improving overall cleaning performance.
Cost-Effective and Sustainable Solutions
Biohygiene cleaning products offer the advantage of residual cleaning action, providing long-lasting cleanliness and reducing the need for frequent deep cleaning. The bacteria in these products continue to break down organic matter post-application, significantly cutting down labour costs in industries like hospitality, healthcare, and commercial cleaning. Their concentrated formula enhances cost-efficiency by minimising product usage and transportation expenses.
Furthermore, Biohygiene products use renewable, plant-based ingredients and produce fewer hazardous by-products, lowering environmental impact. By avoiding harmful chemicals like QUATs and VOCs, these products not only offer practical benefits but also align with socially responsible practices that attract eco-conscious customers.
The Future of Cleaning Across Industries
As the hospitality, healthcare, and commercial cleaning industries face ongoing challenges, Biohygiene offers a forward-thinking solution by replacing harsh, outdated chemicals with enzyme-based cleaning products that ensure deeper, safer, and more efficient cleaning.
