Many studies show that hand sanitizer gel work well in clinical settings like hospitals, where hands come into contact with germs but generally are not heavily soiled or greasy (1). Some data also shows that hand sanitizers may work well against certain types of germs on slightly soiled hands (2,3.) However, hands may become very greasy or soiled in community settings, such as after people handle food, play sports, cooking, or cutting a hair or after massaging. When hands are heavily soiled or greasy, hand sanitizer gel may not work well (4,5,1). Handwashing with soap and water is recommended in such circumstances or a sanitizing wipes as the wipes material is able to remove heavily soiled or greasy hands. Why Is 70% the Most Effective Concentration of Isopropyl Alcohol for Disinfection? Studies have shown that Isopropyl alcohol, particularly in solutions between 60% to 90% alcohol with 10 – 40% purified water, is rapidly antimicrobial against various bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Solutions > 91% IPA do kill bacteria, but sometimes require longer contact times for disinfection, and enable spores to lie in a dormant state without being killed. In this analysis, a 50% isopropyl alcohol solution kills Staphylococcus Aureus in less than 10 seconds, yet a 90% solution with a contact time of over two hours is ineffective. CDC recommends using greater than 60% ethanol or 70% isopropyl alcohol in healthcare settings. (6). |
CLEANZWELL Hand & Face Sanitizing Wipes. Is Cleanzwell Hand & Face Sanitizing Wipes suitable for Disinfection? Benzalkonium chloride, besides ethanol and isopropyl alcohol, is deemed eligible by FDA for use in the formulation of healthcare personnel hand hygiene.(7) Benzalkonium chloride (BAC) is a major non-alcohol-based active ingredient used for clinical, food line, and domestic household biocides [8,9]. A biocide is a general term for a chemical agent, that may be applied topically in/on living tissue (antiseptic) or on inanimate objects (disinfectant), in order to inhibit growth of or kill microorganisms [10] Is Benzalkonium chloride for Disinfection commonly used? Benzalkonium chloride is widely used in the formulation of disinfectants and cleaner-sanitisers for the hospital, livestock, food & dairy and personal hygiene sectors.

Benzalkonium chloride has been reported to cause eye irritation, symptoms of dry eyes and may affect the tear film and corneal surface.

Cleanzwell Hand & Face Sanitizing Wipes active ingredient, benzalkonium chloride (BAC) are non-flammable and will not stain clothing, surfaces or flooring. Is the active ingredient, benzalkonium chloride (BAC) the same as bleach? Bleach or Chlorine, or Sodium Hypochlorite to be more exact is NOT the same as benzalkonium chloride (BAC). Bleach is a powerful oxidizing agent and as such is corrosive to substances and surfaces. Bleach causes severe burns to skin, eyes,and in a vapour form, will cause severe and acute burns to the lungs and mucous membranes. From a cleaning point of view, one good alternative is using benzalkonium chloride (BAC) being just one such example. However, they are not quite as effective in killing viruses and bacteria like bleach, so longer contact times are needed, but they don’t have potentially dangerous reactions that bleach could cause to humans and surfaces.
