HOME & LIVING SOLUTIONS
Microbes that care for the corners you never see
From toilets and septic tanks to kitchen grease traps, Biontech brings the Bacillus technology behind its agricultural products into homes and commercial spaces, breaking down odour and grease at their source.
THREE EVERYDAY PLACES
Three everyday places
Find the right product by where the problem starts. Each one is built on live Bacillus, which keeps producing the enzymes that break waste down.
01 · Toilets and septic tanks
BionClo septic tank and toilet care
Strong acids, alkalis and bleach can mask odour for a while, but they also kill the microbes that do the breaking down. Sludge builds up and the smell soon returns. BionClo does the opposite and adds highly active beneficial bacteria: four Bacillus strains that suppress the sulfate-reducing bacteria that produce hydrogen sulfide, take up ammonia, and use protease, lipase, cellulase and amylase to break down sludge before it blocks pipes.
Three formats, by where you use it:
- BionClo-S Water-soluble pack. Drop one into the toilet each week, or two a week where odour is severe; leave overnight and flush the next morning
- BionClo-P Powder. Pour into the septic tank cleanout or a toilet; 1–2 scoops, 4–8 for a first or urgent treatment, once a month
- BionClo-U Tablet. Place directly in the urinal; lasts about 120 flushes
02 · Kitchens and grease traps
BionRio grease-trap fat breakdown
The bacteria find and attach to grease, secrete lipase that splits it into fatty acids and glycerol, take those up as food, and convert them into carbon dioxide, water and biomass, so the grease layer stops building up. Suited to restaurants and home kitchens.
Biontech tested its own strains against lard and palm oil and built the formula on strains that break down both animal and vegetable fats well.
Directions (powder)
- Use the scoop provided to pour the powder straight into the grease trap and stir lightly, or mix it 1:10 with water first.
- Add it at the end of each business day, once the kitchen has stopped draining, so the bacteria can establish in the trap. It can also be poured into drains for routine care.
| Use | Start-up (first two weeks) | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|
| Home kitchen drain | Twice a week, 1 scoop (20 g) each time | 1 scoop (20 g) a week |
| Small to medium grease trapUp to about 500 litres | 40–60 g a day | 60–80 g a week |
| Large grease trap or central kitchenOver 500 litres | Scale up with capacity, adding one small-to-medium dose for every further 500 litres; our sales team can help you assess | |
Dilute with room-temperature water, never above 50°C. Strong acids, alkalis, bleach and disinfectants kill the bacteria; use a neutral cleaner instead.
03 · Rooms and everyday odours
BionClean probiotic deodorizing spray
Two actions in one: a soy-derived cationic surfactant captures odour molecules in the air for immediate relief, while spores of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus velezensis settle on surfaces, germinate and secrete enzymes that break down the source, so new odours do not form. It removes odour rather than covering it with fragrance.
In a laboratory test with onion and garlic odours, odour strength after spraying was about 43% lower than the untreated control after 15 minutes, and about 50% lower after 30 minutes.
- For
- Sofas, cat litter, places where dogs relieve themselves, and toilet odours after use; also bins, carpets, curtains and car interiors
- How to use
- Spray directly where you want to remove odour

HOW IT WORKS
How Bacillus works
-
Dormant spores
Bacillus is kept as hardy spores, so it is easy to ship and store.
-
Germination
In a moist environment with nutrients, the spores germinate into active cells.
-
Breakdown
The cells produce protease, lipase, cellulase and other enzymes that break down organic matter and grease.
