ECOSAM® antibacterial dishwashing liquids, hand sanitizers, and disinfectant sprays can inactivate Covid-19 germs in Singapore.

Updated 2023-April-30, Reading time: 3 min. Choosing a personal hygiene essential is not so straight forward. For example we live in a warm and humid climate so most of us normally avoid using a sticky gel on our hands.

Covid-19 viruses are spread by person-to-person respiratory secretions, skin-to-skin contact with body fluids, and fomites like toilet seats, shared towels, and contaminated beddings. The WHO has recommended that hand sanitisers, disinfectant cleaners, and antibacterial dishwashing liquid be made available in the liquid form.

We live in a garden city and are naturally accustomed to floral and tropical herb fragrances that will enhance our outdoor experiences.

The ELIZABETH fragrance is a blend of 20 natural herbs, fruits, and flowers, including bergamot, white tea, mandarin, ginger, peony, mimosa, and wild lavender.

The VICTORIA moisturiser is an all-natural hypoallergenic ecological palm extract that provides pH 5.5 moisturising protection for eczema-prone, dry, and sensitive skin.

Listening carefully to customers, we have designed the cheapest hand sanitiser, disinfectant cleaner, and antibacterial dishwashing liquid.

DISINFECTING YOUR SURFACES:

🖐 A Non-alcohol Hand Sanitiser (NAHS5) is suitable for small surfaces like your hands, mobile phone, mouse, keyboard, facemask, table, chair, clothes, toys, and shoes. It is suitable for children below the age of 12 and for seniors who have sensitive skin. You can spray them from refillable 20 mL or 60 mL spray bottles. This will be your cheapest personal care sanitiser.

🔫🖐 A Non-alcohol Disinfectant Cleaner (DC5) is excellent for spray-guns and suitable for both small and large surface areas like handles, doorknobs, kitchen utensils, food packaging, and car interiors. You can spray them from manual 500 mL spray guns or auto nano atomiser spray guns. Health institutions and McDonald’s restaurants use it. This will be your cheapest all-purpose, food-safe, and laundry-safe household disinfectantant cleaner.

🦠 An Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA5) is good for greased, stained, and virus soiled surfaces. A 75% concentration is required by the WHO and it does not contain fragrance or moisturiser.

🍝 A Sanitising Dishwashing Liquid (DW5) will actually sanitise your dishes and kitchen free of germs and viruses so that they are actually clean and will no longer smell.

Questions & Answers:

What is Monkeypox?

Monkeypox is a viral infection caused by an enveloped virus which belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. The Monkeypox virus is an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus with a genome size of around 190 kb and can be inactivated with hand sanitisers, disinfectant cleaners, and antibacterial dishwashing liquids. Any person, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, can acquire and spread Monkeypox.

🖐 Does my normal hand dishwashing liquid actually sanitise? Most Dishwashing Liquids Don't Actually Sanitise — Here's How to Properly Wash Your Dishes. Follow this to make sure that your dishes and kitchen are germ-free and will no longer smell.

When you diligently wash every single dish in your sink with foamy soap, you'd probably assume that your dishes are also sanitised. And while we hate to be the bearers of disappointing news, we thought it was important to point out that most dishwashing liquids are actually not antiviral. That's right, even after scrubbing your dishes and dousing them in foam, your now clean-looking dishes could still be harbouring viruses.

In most cases, this probably isn't a big source of concern, but if someone in your household has recently been Covid positive or they've been preparing raw meats, you may want to start sanitising them. How do you guarantee your dishes are germ-free?

Simply buy ECOSAM antibacterial dishwashing liquid (DW) to make sure your dishes don't just look clean but are actually clean.

Many of us just assume that our dishwashing liquid is sanitising, but if you take a closer look at the options at the supermarket, you'll notice that only some of them are. According to a 2007 study, the presence of a sanitiser is effective at getting rid of bacteria, so now is the right time to upgrade your dishwashing liquid.

💖 Which of your disinfectants is safer around babies, infants, toddlers, and children. The ECOSAM Disinfectant-Cleaner (DC) is the safer disinfectant because its concentration of active ingredient is at the lowest level. Any level lower will likely be ineffective. Therefore, it is the safer disinfectant as well as it is effective on cots and prams. For toys that will go into the mouth, I would recommend flushing them with cool boiled tap water after disinfecting.

💖 How frequent should we disinfect? The frequency of disinfection is determined by the viral load. It can be as frequent as every use of a public toilet. Please refer to this WHO guideline.

💖 What are the main differences between Non-alcohol Hand & Surface Sanitisers (NAHS), Non-alcohol Disinfectant-cleaners (DC), and Alcohol Hand Sanitisers (AHS)?
AHS is used in clinics and hospitals while NAHS and DC are used at home, office, & schools.
NAHS and AHS are primarily for your hands.
DC is primarily for surfaces and is also safe for your hands.
AHS will inactivate germs from 8 seconds on while NAHS and DC are from 15 seconds on.

💖 Can I use chlorine tablets in spray-guns? Please avoid chlorine tablets because they have residues that will clog up spray-gun nozzles. Tablets are also not approved by the FDA, WHO, or CDC.

Get a non alcohol and rinse free product that is designed with your furry friend in mind.

McDonald's restaurants use chloride-based disinfectant cleaners. The historical primary target in a food establishment is to inactivate escherichia coli, also known as E. coli and salmonella. A food safe and food grade product is usually non alcohol. For example, your home dish washing liquid is normally non alcohol and is expected to be food safe.
