It is coming up to the cold weather which can only mean highly contagious and sickly times that is the cold and flu season is upon us, hand sanitiser is standard, necessary equipment to help us prevent infectious bacteria, germs and pathogens.
When soap and water are not available, there’s no better option to keep our hands clean than hand sanitiser. But as the formula for creating the most effective hand sanitisers and consumers’ preferences continue to evolve, many hand sanitiser companies are developing alcohol-free sanitisers. They contain antimicrobials that offer long-lasting germ protection without drying hands.But the question some skeptical scientists have for alcohol-free hand sanitisers is:
Do they work as well in the real, germ-plagued world as they do in the lab?
There are compelling cases for both alcohol-based and alcohol-free hand sanitisers. For most folks, the compelling reasoning for their choice of hand sanitiser is what feels best on their skin.
Lets be clear Nilaqua non-alcohol hand sanitisers stop germs dead in their tracks. Nilaqua’s entire range of hygiene products are not only alcohol free but paraben free too!
We believe alcohol free is the way forward….
*Alcohol free products are non flammable, this is great for a health and safety aspect; specifically in prisons, public area’s, police stations and when working with mental health or children. It has been known for people to light the actual liquid and create fire bombs, especially around festival toilets. As well as putting it on their hands and lighting it. Smokers are advised to stay away from alcohol products due to the lighting process and smoking itself should be prohibited on site. Alcohol gels should ideally kept in cool or air conditioned rooms, which are locked.
*Patient Safety, Certain surgeries involving electrics have shown patients hair to catch on fire after applying alcohol based disinfectants. There has also been reported incidents of electrical fires fuelled by alcohol gel and even ingestion in children.
* Alcohol free products are non skin drying. Alcohol products method of use is to evaporate, which strips natural oils and dries the skin. This can actually cause micro fissure and cracks that can harbour germs. Alcohol also provides no further protection, where as Nilaqua alcohol free sanitisers continue working for up to 6 hours!
*Alcohol free products kill more germs including Norovirus & C-Diff, Is it well known that alcohol based sanitisers do not kill Norovirus nor does it kill C-Diff. Some sanitisers may hols a small residual resistance, however it is minimal. Nilaqua is so effective at killing C-Diff this can be completed in just 30 seconds! Nilaqua kills 99.999% and in most cases 99.9999% of germs in 30 seconds, whereas alcohol gels typically kill 99.99% or 99.9% of germs. This may not seem like alot however for every 9% this equates to 100x or in some cases 1000x more effective.
*Alcohol Free Products do not offend religions, equality is important especially in such a multicultural society. By offering Alcohol Free products you are including everyone.
* Alcohol Free Products are non-tainting, nor do they affect surfaces or strip nail varnish. Nilaqua alcohol free sanitisers can be applied to wood, glass, plastics and even specialist surfaces.
