Operator briefing · 2026
Probiotic cleaning for preschools, infant care centres and indoor playgrounds.
It's 10am on a Tuesday. Your cleaner finished before opening. Every table was wiped and every door handle disinfected.
Since then, twenty children have arrived and touched almost every surface in the room. Your disinfectant did its job on contact, and stopped working the moment it dried.
A trace of skin oil on a door handle. A film of saliva on a toy. Residue on the table edge where a hand rested. Invisible, and completely ordinary.
That residue matters. Germs arrive with children inside saliva, mucus and droplets, and outside the body they need moisture and organic matter to stay infectious. The film small hands leave behind all day provides exactly that, waiting for the next hand.
PolVita contains natural, non-GMO Bacillus bacteria. When the spray dries, they settle into the surface, wake up and multiply. Within hours they form an invisible protective microflora that crowds out other microbes by competitive exclusion.
They stay and keep working for up to 14 days: through every session, over the weekend, and through every hour your staff aren't in the room.
Think of a virus as the centre of an M&M, wrapped in chocolate. On a surface, that chocolate is the saliva and mucus it arrived in, keeping it moist and sheltered. PolVita's bacteria eat the chocolate away, leaving the virus dry and exposed.
PolVita doesn't kill viruses and isn't a disinfectant. It breaks down the organic matter they depend on.
Keep your suppliers. Add PolVita. Close the gap.

“Probiotic bacteria form a long-term, stable microbiome, whereas the success of disinfection is short-lived.”
Robert Koch InstituteGerms spread through surfaces, respiratory droplets, direct contact and close proximity. Surface cleaning addresses one of those routes, and PolVita works on that route continuously for up to 14 days. It doesn't address the others.
PolVita is part of a complete hygiene programme, alongside hand hygiene, ventilation and keeping unwell children at home.
PolVita never replaces outbreak disinfection.
Not a guarantee of zero outbreaks. A way to reduce the risk of surface transmission between cleans. That's the claim we stand behind.
Curtains, bedding and cushions collect dust, and with it dust mite droppings, pollen, pet allergens and mould proteins.
Zones 3 to 5 sit elsewhere in the venue.
An example only. Keep your current SOP and frequency; you only add or swap the product.
Five ready-to-use products and one floor concentrate that works with your existing mops and floor scrubbers. Nothing to change in how your team works.
Rarely at enrolment. By then the conversation is under pressure. The operators who keep parents' trust are the ones who prepared the answer before the question came.
“We still clean and disinfect the same way. After that, we add a probiotic layer that keeps breaking down residue on surfaces for up to 14 days.”
An outbreak rarely ends with the deep-clean bill. Think about what happens next.
That's a good record, and your routine is part of it. But a quiet record doesn't mean the gap isn't there. It means it hasn't been tested yet. Disinfectant protects until it dries, and the hours after are left to chance. PolVita doesn't replace what's working. It takes some of the chance out of those hours.
We wear a seatbelt on every trip, not because we expect a crash, but because it only takes one.
Keep them. Probiotic cleaning is a different category. You're not choosing between us and them; you're adding a layer.
As principal or owner, you set the hygiene standard and your contractor follows it. Once you're comfortable with PolVita, we brief your contractor and provide the protocol in the format they need.
Weigh it against a single closure: the lost days, the parents rearranging their week, and the trust that takes years to rebuild. Operators also typically use 20–30% less disinfectant within three months.
No, and we'll never claim it can. PolVita eats the chocolate around the virus, not the virus itself. Used with your approved virucidal disinfectant, you have both the kill step and up to 14 days of biological maintenance.
It's when the value is clearest. Your disinfectant handles the immediate kill step. PolVita, applied once it dries, keeps breaking down the organic matter germs shelter in between cycles.
No. Same methods, same frequency. You add one step after disinfection.
Pollet doesn't recommend probiotic cleaners in high- and very-high-risk hospital zones (zones 3 and 4).
