Cully's User Guide & Frequently Asked Questions

Less Toxins. More Life.

At Culleoka Company (Cully's), we believe cleaning should improve your environment—not introduce unnecessary toxins into it.

Our innovative, probiotic-powered cleaning solutions utilize beneficial bacteria and naturally derived ingredients to break down organic matter, eliminate odors at their source, and support a healthier home, workplace, and environment.

Unlike traditional chemical cleaners that can leave behind residues and disrupt natural microbial balance, Cully's products work with nature to deliver effective cleaning performance without harsh chemicals.


Quick Start Guide

Step 1

Shake product well before use.

Step 2

Apply directly to the surface, stain, drain, or problem area.

Step 3

Allow the solution to dwell for the recommended time.

Step 4

Wipe, rinse, scrub, or wash as directed.

Step 5

For best results, use consistently to allow probiotics to establish and continue working.


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.


What surfaces can I use Cully's Natural Based Cleaner on?

Natural Based Cleaner is extremely versatile and may be used on many common household and commercial surfaces, including:

  • Kitchen countertops
  • Bathroom surfaces
  • Hardwood floors
  • Tile and grout
  • Furniture
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Carpet and upholstery
  • Pet areas
  • Laundry
  • Vehicle interiors

Always test in an inconspicuous area first, especially on specialty finishes, natural stone, delicate fabrics, or sealed surfaces.


Can I use Cully's products on septic systems?

Yes.

Our Drain, Septic & Sewer formula was specifically designed to support healthy septic system performance and help break down organic buildup naturally.


Can I use Cully's products with other cleaners?

For best probiotic performance, avoid immediately following treatment with antibacterial cleaners, bleach, or disinfectants that may reduce beneficial bacterial activity.


What is the shelf life?

For best results:

  • Use within 3–6 months after opening
  • Store in a cool, dark cabinet
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight
  • Protect from extreme temperatures

Why Probiotics?

Most conventional cleaners work by using harsh chemicals that temporarily remove dirt and odors. Once the cleaner dries, its job is finished.

Cully's probiotic-powered formulas work differently.

Our products contain beneficial bacteria that produce natural enzymes. These enzymes continue breaking down organic matter long after application, helping to clean deeper and support a healthier environment.

Think of it this way:

Traditional Cleaners

  • Clean the surface
  • Stop working once dry
  • May leave behind chemical residues
  • Can disrupt natural microbial balance

Cully's Probiotic Cleaners

  • Clean the surface
  • Continue working after application
  • Break down organic matter naturally
  • Help support a healthier microbial environment
  • Reduce the need for harsh chemicals

Common Organic Matter Probiotics Help Break Down

✓ Food residue

✓ Grease and oils

✓ Biofilm buildup

✓ Organic stains

✓ Odor-causing materials

✓ Soap and waste residue

Our goal is simple:

Less Toxins. More Life.
