As many of you know, part of our corporate messaging has included statements such as, "Many current cleaning and disinfecting practices don't work", "Most customers do not understand how clean or dirty their facilities are," and "Everyday products are continuously misapplied, promote antimicrobial resistance, pollute our environment, and harm workers and building occupants." With these statements in mind, this study link below helps to demonstrate our points:

Chlorine disinfectant is no more effective than water at killing off hospital superbug
Research by the University of Plymouth has showed spores of Clostridioides difficile, commonly known as C. diff, are completely unaffected despite being treated with high concentrations of bleach used in many hospitals. Writing in the journal Microbiology, the study’s authors say susceptible people working and being treated in clinical settings might be unknowingly placed at risk of contracting the superbug.

Many other new studies are focusing on the important issues associated with drug and antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and the challenges to control and treat them, so it makes sense to employ new methods and products to help lower the incidence of drug-resistant infections through proactive prevention. In international markets outside of the USA, SD Professional, and Short Term can help reduce the transmission of hospital-acquired infections and help keep patients, staff, and visitors safer for up to a year per application. In the USA, Surface Defense 90 and 90+ can be added to legally required disinfecting processes to help make cleaning and disinfecting of hard non-porous surfaces easier and more efficient. Our EPA registered disinfectants, electrostatic application technologies, and site measurement programs can be used in all markets to improve cleaning and disinfecting results.
