During the coronavirus pandemic, our approach to using disinfectants has changed dramatically. There has been a heightened fear of the virus, leading to the disinfection of everything, although it is often unnecessary. Viruses and bacteria are highly adaptable, and continuous exposure to excessive disinfectants could inevitably lead to their resistance.
Another consequence of increased disinfectant use is a significant rise in incidents where people accidentally get splashes in their eyes or children ingest hand sanitizer. In 2020 alone, the NVIC received 552 reports of disinfectant exposures by phone, compared to an average of 107 reports per year in the previous five years (Service Management, 06-07-2021).
While it’s crucial to keep our environments safe, especially during this pandemic, opting for chemical-free solutions is even safer, given the aforementioned risks. At Flash, we are committed to developing eco-friendly solutions:
Hyginet
Hyginet is our latest single-use professional cleaning wipe. The name “Hyginet” emphasizes hygiene, utilizing unique ultra-thin microfibers that effectively reduce bacteria, germs, and viruses on surfaces with just water—no detergent required. This eco-friendly solution not only protects your environment from harmful pathogens but also ensures thorough and streak-free cleaning. The microfiber cloth absorbs water and dirt quickly, removing stubborn stains from various hard surfaces while preventing cross-contamination.
WET2GO MULTI mops
Our WET2GO Multi 3-layer mop enables cleaning of approximately 20 m2 of floor space with just water, making it hygienic (no cross contamination), time-saving, and user-friendly. The microfiber-based cleaning layer efficiently absorbs dirt, leaving surfaces clean and streak-free. An advanced barrier film creates a hygienic barrier between the mop and dirt, ensuring controlled liquid discharge and absorption for optimal cleaning moisture distribution. This feature reduces liquid pooling and speeds up drying time post-cleaning.
