Built for the room where it all happens.

Three different cleaning problems in one room — food residue on dishware, surface buildup, and odor on skin. Each formula in this collection is engineered for one of them. No fragrance masking. No bleach. No compromises.

The answers we'd want before buying it ourselves.

What should I start with — individual products or the Kitchen Biōm Trio? +
If you're new to bio-enzymatic cleaning, the Chef Soap Bar at $16 is the easiest entry — try the formula on hands, dishes, and pots before committing to more. If you cook daily and want a full kitchen reset, the Kitchen Biōm Trio bundles all three products and saves you $7 vs. buying separately. Most households who try the Trio end up subscribing.
Is the dishwasher detergent HE-safe? +
Yes. The formula is HE-safe and compatible with both standard and high-efficiency dishwashers. Use 1 scoop for everyday loads, 2 scoops for heavy or baked-on messes. Place directly in the main detergent compartment — not the pre-rinse section. No PVA pod films, no microplastic carriers.
Does the Chef Soap really remove garlic and onion smell? +
Yes. The arabica coffee grounds in the bar act as a natural deodorizer — coffee compounds neutralize the sulfur molecules responsible for garlic, onion, and fish smells. Dead Sea salt provides gentle abrasion. The same technique chefs have used for decades (popularized by Julia Child and Martha Stewart), embedded into the bar itself. Wet your hands, lather, rinse.
Can I use the Chef Soap on dishes and pots, not just hands? +
Yes — the Chef Soap is designed as a multi-use kitchen bar. For dishes: rub the bar on a wet brush or sponge for 3–4 strokes to build lather, then wash as normal. For pots and pans: rub the bar directly onto greasy surfaces and scrub. For cast iron: brush with minimal water, rinse quickly, and dry immediately to maintain seasoning. One bar replaces 2–3 plastic bottles of liquid soap and lasts 2–3 months with daily use.
Are these safe around pets and kids? +
Yes. Every product in this collection is designed for homes with pets and children. The dishwasher detergent and BioSurf surface cleaner are fragrance-free. The Chef Soap uses only pure lemon essential oil. No phosphates, no synthetic preservatives, no harsh surfactants (no SLS / SLES), no quaternary ammonium compounds. As with any cleaning product, allow surfaces to dry before reintroducing pets or kids, and keep all products out of reach.
Can BioSurf be used with bleach or disinfectants? +
No. Bleach and quaternary ammonium ("quat") disinfectants deactivate the Bacillus cultures in BioSurf. If your protocol includes a bleach or quat step, run BioSurf separately — never in the same spray bottle, bucket, or cloth. The dishwasher detergent and Chef Soap are unaffected and can be used alongside any cleaning routine.
How long does each kitchen product last? +
The 4-Enzyme Dishwasher Detergent (20oz bag) yields 20–30 dishwasher loads — typically 1–2 months for a family of 4. The Chef Soap Bar lasts 2–3 months of daily hand-washing if stored dry on a draining soap dish between uses. BioSurf 16oz makes ~32 gallons of cleaning solution (4–6 months of regular use). Subscribe & Save 10% on recurring 60- or 90-day deliveries to stay stocked across all three.
