Microbiome- The Community of You

You and the microbes that live on you and inside you form a community that is called a “microbiome”. Your microbiome has 10 times as many bacterial cells as human cells and at least 150 times as many bacterial genes as human genes. Every day, your microbiome does things for you that you cannot do for yourself and your microbiome is essential to your survival. In a very real sense, we are stewards of these complex bacterial colonies and they repay our stewardship with good health. I hope this helps to explain exactly what we are trying to achieve at CleanWell. This graphical & fairly short description of the microbiomes from Wired Magazine is the best one that I have found. When we are healthy, our immune system has a good relationship with the bacteria that make up our respective microbiomes - they are recognized as part of "us". On the other hand, we may or may not have a good relationship with any new member - they may be recognized as "other" and trigger an immune response. It is our immune system's response to any invader that will determine if any new species becomes a member of the club or a pathogenic adversary that causes illness. Our personal hygiene is how we become good stewards of our microbiomes and protect their integrity. Handwashing, and hand hygiene in general are the most effective tools that we have to keep you and your microbiome balanced and healthy. This in turn, will help protect you from serious illness and the need to use antibiotics.

Made in America Series: US Job Creation

CleanWell is a "made in America" company. We do all our manufacturing and R&D in the U.S. In addition we also work with an exciting range of other companies that manufacture in the states. We're going to take you behind the scenes and do a series featuring some of these companies so you can feel good knowing that your purchases of CleanWell products are supporting a variety of great jobs around the country. Do you have an HPLC on your wish list? Our R&D team was VERY excited to recently purchase a High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for our custom built lab in San Francisco (who wouldn't get excited about that?!). The HPLC is used for analytical testing of our products for quality control as well as research and development. The machine is manufactured in the U.S. by Massachusetts based Waters Corporation. Waters Corp. was founded in 1958 and designs, manufactures, sells and services analytical technologies: liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and thermal analysis. They employee scientists, engineers, chemists, assembly specialists and more professionals. In 2008 they were recognized by the Boston Globe as one of the top places to work. While Dr. Weiss and our R&D team are the ones who will have the thrill that only scientists can get from an HPLC, you and I can feel great knowing that our actions support jobs in the sciences and manfacturing here in our "backyard".
