Imagine bacteria tough enough to survive outer space… now imagine them keeping your workplace clean, hygienic, and odour free.
At Jani-King, we don’t just clean, we harness nature, we combine this with advanced chemical technology to create a living protection. Our Eco-benign® probiotic cleaning system uses the power of “good” Bacillus bacteria to keep your workplace cleaner and odour free for longer.
What Makes Probiotic Cleaning Different?
Traditional cleaners stop working the moment they are sprayed on any surface. Probiotic cleaners don’t.
These spore-forming Bacillus bacteria stay on your surfaces and keep working for days, penetrating deep into surfaces, effectively breaking down stubborn dirt, grime and odours at their source while providing long-lasting cleaning results without harm to the environment.
It’s cleaning that doesn’t just shine, it defends.
Built for Earth - Proven in Outer Space
Here’s a wild fact: these same Bacillus spores have been tested in outer space.
Scientists mounted Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus outside the International Space Station (ISS). Even after 18 months exposed to real space conditions, many of the Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus pumilus spores survived when shielded from UV rays.
If they can survive outer space, they can easily handle dirt, odours, grime and biofilms in any workplace.
Why Businesses Love Probiotic Cleaning
Keeps working long after we clean
Targets dirt, grime and odours at the source – it doesn’t just mask them like traditional cleaners
Safe for people, pets, and the planet
Supports healthier, fresher indoor environments
Naturally outcompetes harmful bacteria rather than ‘destroying’ everything
From Your Desk to Deep Space
Jani-King is proud to keep spaces clean for New Zealand’s growing space technology industry, helping to keep laboratories, cleanrooms, and mission-critical facilities pristine so our nation can innovate with confidence.
From Your Desk to Deep Space
The same resilient Bacillus species studied by astrobiologists at the International Space Station are part of our Eco-benign® probiotic cleaning systems that we use for all Jani-King clients, every day. That means every clean from Jani-King is backed by real microbiology and science-backed technology - not marketing hype.
This isn’t just clean. It’s space-grade clean.
