Three-minute Kill Claim For Healthcare’s Leading Wipe

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 15, 2008 – Healthcare’s favorite germicidal disinfectant surface wipe is now better than ever.
Sani-Cloth® Plus Germicidal Disposable Cloth now kills most bacteria and viruses in three minutes or less including Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). Sani-Cloth® Plus is a hospital-grade quaternary/low alcohol formula (14.85%) designed for the disinfection of hard, non-porous surfaces and equipment. It is bleach-free, phenolic-free and latex-free, ideal for use in hospitals and alternate care settings including clinics, dental offices, physician’s offices and long-term care facilities.

“Disinfecting hard, non-porous surfaces is key to the health and welfare of patients and healthcare workers,” says Jean Fleming, RN, MPM, CIC, clinical director of infection prevention and education for Professional Disposables International, Inc. “It is one of the most important ways to prevent healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs).”

Providing a quick and convenient way to disinfect hard, non-porous surfaces, Sani-Cloth® Plus removes organisms by the wiping action created when using the cloths. Most remaining organisms are killed within (3) three minutes by exposure to the liquid in the wipe - a proven benefit of using pre-moistened Sani-Cloth® Plus over other disinfectant wipes and bulk spray solutions.

Sani-Cloth® Plus is bactericidal, tuberculocidal and virucidal. It has proven to be effective against E. coli O157:H7 (ATCC 35150), E. coli (ATCC 11229), MRSA, VRE, TB, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enterica, Staphylococcus aureus, Herpes Simplex type 2, Influenza A2/Hong Kong, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), HIV-1, Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). In addition to 160 and 65-count wipe canisters, Sani-Cloth® Plus Large and Extra Large size Pocket Packets are available in 50-count boxes.
