Frequently Asked Questions
Are Cully's products safe around children and pets?
Yes. Our products are formulated as safer alternatives to many conventional cleaners. When used as directed, they are suitable for homes with children and pets. Always store products safely and avoid direct contact with eyes.
Is Culleoka Company's Natural Based Cleaner (NBC) a disinfectant or sanitizer?
No.
Natural Based Cleaner is not registered as a disinfectant or sanitizer.
Research supported by organizations such as the CDC has demonstrated that cleaning with soap, water, and surfactant-based cleaners effectively removes germs from surfaces. Our focus is on cleaning and removing contaminants rather than attempting to sterilize every surface.
What are probiotics and why are they used in cleaning products?
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that naturally produce enzymes.
These enzymes help break down organic matter such as:
- Food residue
- Grease
- Biofilm
- Organic stains
- Odor-causing buildup
This allows cleaning to continue long after application.
How long do the probiotics continue working?
Laboratory testing through UMass TURI demonstrated activity for up to 96 hours when a food source (organic matter) was present.
The goal is to introduce beneficial biology rather than repeatedly applying harsh chemicals.
Do your products contain bleach, ammonia, or harsh solvents?
No.
Cully's products are designed to provide effective cleaning without relying on bleach, ammonia, chlorine, or other aggressive cleaning chemicals commonly found in conventional products.
Do your scented products contain essential oils?
Yes.
Our scented formulas utilize essential oils, including Lavender & Chamomile and Lemongrass Citrus.
Lavender is also known for helping deter drain flies around sinks and drains.
Unscented options are available as well.
