What is Germ Warfare?
Germ warfare is the only cleaning and janitorial product range which is classified as Non Hazardous. It has been developed over a period of 6 years and is the only product range containing Hygienilac proven to kill SUPER BUGS including C.difficile spores.
“Unlike disinfectants, which are more superficial, our products focus on the spores, the root element. C-difficile spores are the hardest of all to kill, but our formulations are effective with 60 seconds of contact.”
- It is used in Hospitals, Care Homes, Schools, Child Care Centres, food prep areas, Sports Centres, gyms and at home
- The product range has been independently tested against Hospital SUPER BUGS such as MRSA, C.diff, MSSA, Listeria, Salmonella, E.Coli, Klebsiella, A.baumanii and fungi
- Tested to British Standards using MHRA accredited laboratories. EN13704, EN1500, EN1276, EN1275, EN13697
- Tested by NHS National Innovation Centre. Part of the NHS Institute of Innovation & Improvement. (GW Hard Surface spray)
There is no product range available which is classified Non-Hazardous and offers the unrivalled protection against SUPER BUGS which Germ Warfare does!
Why it works
Here’s the technical bit:
- Germ Warfare active ingredient Hygienilac is membrane active without specific key lock reactions with parts of the micro-organism cell. It is not thought possible that bacteria, fungi can build up any form of immunity to Germ Warfare active ingredient Hygienilac. It works by disrupting microbes ability to reproduce thus organisms remaining become non-viable and die
- The product range has a log reduction kill rate against bacteria spores of between 3.6 to 6.75 on 60 second contact time. This means within 60 seconds we kill 99.999% of bacteria. No other product range has this kill rate.
- The active ingredient Hygienilac has been proven to be active up to 72hrs after first application. This means it continues to kill bacteria for up to 3 days
- In laundry product the active ingredient stays in the clothing and continues to kill bacteria and reduce odour
- The product is completely safe. Food safe, child safe, safe around animals
- Environmentally friendly product range. Biodegreable
Germ Warfare Products do not contain
- Silver – Does not employ silver technology so is completely UV stable and does not migrate out after prolonged contact with water
- Antibiotics – Can be expensive and prolong use can build up an immunity to the product
- Dangerous chemicals – No need for specialist clothing
- Heavy metals ,Formaldehydes, solvents
