OwnBio® vs
Chemical Cleaning
Redefining performance in professional cleaning
For decades, professional cleaning has been dominated by chemical detergents. They are familiar, widely used — and rarely questioned.
But as organisations demand lower CO₂ impact, safer working environments, and documented performance, it is time to compare outcomes, not habits.
OwnBio® represents a different approach: bio-based cleaning designed for stability, not intensity.

How traditional chemical cleaning works
Chemical detergents work by:
-
dissolving dirt and grease
-
killing microorganisms on contact
This delivers a short-term visual effect, often reinforced by fragrance.
In daily professional use, chemical cleaning often leads to:
-
overdosing (manual measuring)
-
residue build-up on surfaces
-
surface damage over time
-
inconsistent results between users and shifts
-
higher exposure risk for cleaning staff
Performance is usually evaluated visually:
“If it looks clean, it is clean.”
How OwnBio® works differently
Uses carefully selected beneficial microorganisms that:
-
Support the breakdown of organic residue
-
Help stabilise surface microbiology over time
-
Continue working between cleaning cycles

Swan Ecolabel certified
Traditional chemical systems typically require:
Larger volumes
Heavier transport
Frequent replacement
Cost transparency
Chemicals
🞪 Appears cheap per litre
🞪 Real cost varies due to overdosing, rework and residue
🞪 Inconsistent performance across users, shifts, and sites
OwnBio®
✔ €1.20 per cleaning cycle
✔ Same cost during testing and scaling
✔ Predictable budgeting across sites
Note: OwnBio® is not a disinfectant
It is designed for:
-
Daily professional cleaning
-
Low-risk and medium-risk environments
-
Surface hygiene through stability
For high-risk environments (e.g. hospitals, food production), additional testing and documentation may be required — which Ownwell is open to exploring with partners.
