Synbiotic cleaning detergents

Name: Synbiotic cleaning detergents
Brand: HeiQ

Expertly formulated for ongoing microbial cleaning

We support cleaning formulators with synbiotic detergent solutions for surface care. The portfolio includes ready‑to‑use products, concentrates, and private or white‑label options. After application, synbiotic formulations continue breaking down organic residues in hard‑to‑reach areas, helping manage odors and allergens over time.

Key benefits

Continues breaking down organic residues in cracks and crevices after cleaning
Maintains microbial cleaning activity on surfaces for several days after application
Enables continuous cleaning, with up to 5× higher soil removal after five days of daily use, compared to a non‑synbiotic cleaner (AITEX, 2026)
Helps manage organic odors and common allergens through ongoing soil breakdown
Available as concentrates or finished products for private and white‑label solutions

In synbiotic cleaning detergents, probiotics and prebiotics work together during and after cleaning. When the product is diluted and applied, prebiotics activate the probiotics on the surface. The probiotics then continue producing enzymes over time, breaking down organic residues left behind after wiping or mopping. Unlike cleaners that rely only on added enzymes, this ongoing enzyme production supports continued cleaning between applications.

Probiotics produce enzymes that break up organic residue and digest it

In cleaning detergents, synbiotics are a combination of probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics produce enzymes that support the breakdown of organic soils over time. Prebiotics act as a starter nutrient that activates probiotics during use.

Conventional detergents mainly clean through chemical action during application. Synbiotic detergents add a biological cleaning process that can continue after application.

Yes. HeiQ Synbio detergents are designed for use on washable surfaces. They support ongoing organic soil and odor management as part of surface care.
Success story: Trauma cleaning with synbiotics in Japan

Kai Corporation, a Japan-based provider of odor control solutions, started out with synbiotic cleaning by introducing it into specialized trauma cleaning services for kodokushi (lonely death) rooms.

HeiQ partner Kai Corporation, a Japan-based provider of odor control solutions, introduced synbiotic cleaning into specialized trauma cleaning services for kodokushi (lonely death) rooms, where unattended deaths often lead to deeply embedded and persistent odors. Initially, odor control relied mainly on ozone machines, which typically required about a week of treatment and did not always prevent odors from returning from walls, fine cracks, or drain systems. Seeking a more effective approach, Kai Corporation integrated synbiotic cleaning products into these workflows around 2017.Cleaning…
