View fullsize Did you know that we use a Probiotic cleaner for the Eco Villa (& at home now)! Instead of using chemicals to kills all germs we are introducing healthy bacteria that eat and dissolve the replace the biofilm that feeds and breeds bad bacteria. It's odour free and completely safe for even this little one to spray everywhere in her quest to help :) We've been using it for a while now and it's completely removed the invisible film that was building up around the base of the shower liners (that started forming in the first few months of operating and nothing but abrasive cleaners would remove!). The liners feel as smooth as when we first installed them! Amazing!! Highly recommend this incredible product... even better you can buy in bulk and it only takes 5mls per 500ml bottle (so it reduces plastic waste) plus it's way cheaper that the other eco cleaners I was buying and we only need one cleaner for everything surface even the toilets! Definitely recommend switching over to probiotic cleaners! We are using @purebioticsnz. Oh I forgot to mention it keeps cleaning for a couple days after you use it! What's not to love about that! #ecocleaning #healthyenvironment #chemicalfree #probioticcleaners #ecovillanz #ecoaccommodation #reducewaste #behealthy #christchurchnz #easycleaning
