14 STUDIES The "German Institutes of Textile and Fibre Research" put Bacillol® 30 Sensitive and some competitors under the microscope In a practical study, the German Institute for Textile and Fibre Research (DITF) examined four low alcohol pre-soaked wipes - including Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues – in terms of liquid behaviour and area output [3,4]. They were tested under standardised conditions at 23 °C and 50% relative humidity. For the coverage test, several tables were set up next to each other and divided into equalsized sections. After cleaning with isopropanol, the test surfaces were each wiped with a cloth folded once at a constant speed, first in the centre and then in loops starting from the top left [3,4]. Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues achieve the highest coverage per wipe with an average of 1.52 m2 To determine the coverage, the surface was assessed against the light until it was no longer completely wetted. The result: While the weakest competitor product achieved an average of just over Range of low-alcohol ready-to-use disinfection A comparison of Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues with the highest coverage per wipe The cleaning and disinfection of critical and frequently touched surfaces is an essential aspect in the prevention of transmissible infections in healthcare and community environments [1]. The use of low alcohol pre-soaked disinfectant wipes is playing an increasingly important role due to their practical manageability and low workload and is considered one of the most efficient disinfection methods [2]. As the wipes are disposed of after use, the risk of possible cross-contamination associated with reusable wipes is eliminated [2]. Using wipes with a proven high coverage - such as Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues [3] – also minimises waste. 1 m2 and the strongest 1.33 m2 [4], Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues achieved an impressive average of 1.52 m2 [3]. This means that up to 30 m2 more area can be disinfected than with comparable products. A recent study*,** by the wfk - Institut für Angewandte Forschung GmbH, Krefeld [5] showed that its high coverage is not at the expense of the cleaning performance, but – on the contrary that Bacillol® 30 Sensitive Tissues are far ahead here as well [5] (see also p. 4 in this DISINFACTS "The new Bacillol® 30 Sensitive: triple award-winner").

Their use thus enables effective disinfection of surfaces with a long range, which not only takes into account economic aspects, but also resourcesaving ones. Use disinfectants carefully. Always read the label and product information before use. Please amend in accordance with local requirements (e.g. law of advertising, product status, CLP labelling).
