The Science Behind YOKUU
Cleaning nature's way.
A letter from our founder
Why are 1 billion cleaning helpers a natural choice?
"Bacteria have an undeservedly bad reputation. The common belief is that something is clean only when there's no more bacteria present.
However, while studying bioengineering, I discovered that 99% of bacteria are good bacteria. And that they've been cleaning our planet for billions of years.
Moreover, the science is clear: overuse of disinfectants contributes to an exponential increase in allergies and other immune-related diseases.
I set out to find a way to harness nature's power pro our cleanliness and pro our health. After 3 years of testing, failing, starting up again, and making the best parts even better, I succeeded. YOKUU is the result of my journey.
And of course non-chemical cleaning has its side effects. When you finish cleaning, the bacteria continue to work for 7 days. And so even the most fanatical cleaner becomes lazy.
I'm sorry about this. But comfort yourself with the thought that your home will be cleaner for longer, and that your cute puppy won't get sick when it eats the kibble next to its food bowl."

How do we make our hard-working products?
1 billion cleaning helpers continue working for 7 days
Fortunately, there's no union for our cleaning helpers.
Our products are made to restore the natural microbiome at home. In 4 weeks, our probiotic cleaning aids reduce the number of bacteria present (the "bad guys") and allow more beneficial YOKUU bacteria (the "good guys") to do their job - the result is a home that stays clean and healthy for longer. Less allergens, less dust, no more unpleasant odours.
