Know What You’re Buying

When it comes to surface cleaning and disinfection, there are several possible options in the UK marketplace, but not all are equally effective. Given this, it is imperative that buyers in the practice do not take things at face value and dig a little deeper to see what a product truly offers.

Wiping Away Infection Fears

One possible solution comes in the form of CaviWipes from Kerr, all-in-one, ready-to use disinfectant wipes pre-saturated with CaviCide solution for the effective removal of dirt, as well as quick and broad-spectrum disinfection. A well-made wipe can demonstrate both mechanical and chemical efficacy. It should always be a two-stage process – cleaning and disinfecting – and a new wipe should be used for each. Obviously, if a wipe is no longer wet or is dirty, a new one is needed to complete the job. Then the surface should be left to dry so that the crucial contact time is not disrupted.

CaviCide is effective against human coronavirus and with these extra-large and thick wipes, fungicidal, bactericidal, virucidal and tuberculocidal disinfection is achieved in just three minutes. Available in a flat pack or cannister for convenience, CaviWipes have a low alcohol content (17%). This prevents bioburden from becoming insoluble and stubbornly adherent to surfaces, for a more effective clean and disinfection. They do not contain aldehydes, phenols, bleach or other toxic chemicals.
