Clorox Healthcare has unveiled two revolutionary disinfecting products aimed at addressing critical gaps in daily disinfection compliance, which are set to alter the landscape of infection prevention. The newly launched Clorox Healthcare Quat Alcohol Disinfecting Wipes and Clorox Healthcare HyperOxi Disinfecting Wipes are designed to help increase workflow efficiency and compliance in healthcare settings, proving instrumental in the continuous effort to combat escalating microbial threats such as Candida auris.
The Clorox Healthcare Quat Alcohol Disinfecting Wipes showcase a swift 1-minute contact time and contain 40% less alcohol compared to most existing quat alcohol wipes. The latter qualities are of significance as many healthcare facilities face compliance challenges, either being unable to maintain the needed wet contact time for disinfection or being compelled to repeatedly wipe surfaces to achieve this, resulting in increased time and labor costs. The patent-pending, triple-active formula of these innovative wipes, containing less alcohol, prevents unnecessary rewiping, hence maintaining surfaces wet for the required period, contributing to compliant and efficient workflows and lowering expenses.
Additionally, Clorox has broadened its sporicidal portfolio with another distinctive product, the Clorox Healthcare HyperOxi Disinfecting Wipes, a revolutionary bleach-free sporicidal wipe, utilizing Quanticare Technology. The non-bleach formula is aimed at delivering broad-spectrum efficacy, obliterating C. difficile spores in just 4 minutes and other pathogens—including TB, C. auris, and Norovirus—in 60 seconds or less. Alongside presenting broad surface compatibility, these revolutionary wipes assure a comfortable user experience, with a non-bleach scent and minimal surface residue.
The introduction of these novel disinfecting wipes stems from Clorox Healthcare’s dedicated commitment to developing cleaning and disinfecting solutions that meet the extensive range of healthcare disinfection needs and tackle real-world challenges. When combined with Purell hand hygiene solutions, healthcare facilities can bolster their defensive approach to infection prevention, disinfecting with enhanced confidence and efficiency.
These products are expected to be available later this year in both small and large wipe sizes through major healthcare distributors, pending full regulatory approvals. Clorox Healthcare’s innovative approach in designing products to cater to the ever-evolving needs of the healthcare community fortifies the firm’s century-long legacy in cleaning and disinfecting.
