You’ve probably been disinfecting every single surface in your path since the pandemic hit. We don’t blame you! We’ve been doing the same thing.
But did you know that some disinfectants can damage your surfaces permanently?
A new study from the Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control (ARIC) Journal shows that your surfaces are suffering from constant disinfection. The cloth material of some disinfecting wipes are making your surfaces more rough and causing chemical damage.
The ARIC study tested a standard disinfectant on six different types of polymers, a glass surface, and a metal sample. The scientists wiped each of these surfaces with a disinfectant wipe and immersed them in diluted disinfectant. The study showed that disinfectants caused both material and chemical damage on every single one of the surfaces.
Did you hear that? Every. Single. One.
So, how can you avoid damaging your surfaces? One big chemical you should avoid in your surface disinfectants is alcohol. Alcohol as a disinfectant is widely known to damage materials. Still, many disinfectant wipes and sprays still contain alcohol today even though it IS possible to sanitize without alcohol!
If you don’t want to permanently damage your nicest counter, comfiest chairs, and smoothest desks, use an alcohol-free disinfectant like our Total Solutions Spec 4 Disinfectant Wipes.
