Steri-7 Closing the window of opportunity for germs

Steri-7 cleaning chemical is a multi-purpose cleaner that also works as a high level disinfectant. It cleans practically any surface and any material, eradicating bacteria, spores and viruses as it cleans. However, the major advantage with this product is that it keeps treated areas contamination free between cleaning cycles. It goes on working once dried, something almost no other disinfectant is able to do. The result is round the clock safety, with no window of opportunity for germs to re-establish themselves.

We are all at risk from common bacteria like E.Coli and Salmonella, and from viruses like Hepatitis C and Influenza. In our hospitals, 'superbugs' like MRSA and Clostridium Difficile are responsible for thousands of patient deaths each year. Also, there are new threats emerging like Avian Flu and SARS. The most effective way to offer protection from these threats is by thorough cleaning and disinfection.

STERI-7 is available in handy spray bottles and wipes as well as in sachets for dilution in water. This removes the need for cleaners to carry heavy containers. The product is also safe to use, being non-toxic, non-corrosive, food safe and environmentally friendly. This means that cleaning protocols do not need to be changed. Just replace the products currently used with STERI-7 and continue cleaning as usual.

STERI-7 uses an innovation called RBT (Residual Barrier Technology) to provide two levels of protection against the contamination of the treated area by bacteria, spores or viruses. When applied to a worktop, floor, wall, door, sink or even a fabric, the biocide in STERI-7 kills the germs present. At the same time , a lasting barrier is created that ensures that germs subsequently introduced to it will also be killed, just as effectively, for up to 7 days. If an area is missed by cleaners, which can happen from time to time, RBT will provide protection until that area is cleaned the next day.

The clear benefits of using STERI-7 are:

  • kills bacteria, spores and viruses in minutes

  • no need to rinse a treated area after application

  • goes on working when the liquid has dried

  • continues to kill germs for up to 7 days

  • keeps treated areas safe between cleans

  • cleaning protocol can remain the same

Swimming pool safety - free swimming for the over 60's

The Labour government have announced the introduction of free admission to Public swimming pools for the over 60's. This is part of the 'Legacy Action Plan' - a package of measures to ensure lasting sporting legacy from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.



As more elderly people take advantage of this policy, poolside safety will be even more important. Even with safety flooring, the daily build up of body fats and water scale can become a slip hazard. The poolside must be slip resistant to eliminate any potential health and safety concerns. By using a daily poolside cleaner and descaler, such as VITALISE, you will ensure that all surfaces around the poolside, wet areas and Jacuzzis remain free from soilage and bacteria, keeping all surfaces safe and in premium condition.

VITALISE is a blend of ultra-low foaming agents and surface safe acids. It is formulated to ensure clean, hygienic, slip-resistant conditions without effect on the pool.
