Ecolab’s Skinman Soft Protect FF, a high-quality, alcohol-based hand rub, and surface disinfectant Sirafan Speed, were both proven effective against the virus that causes COVID-19 in this testing coordinated through Dr Brill & Partner GmbH and carried out by the Ruhr University Bochum, in Germany.

Frequent cleaning and disinfection of surfaces and proper hand hygiene have been identified as critical measures to help stop the spread of SARS-CoV-2, according to the World Health Organisation.
Said Sam de Boo, president Western Europe Ecolab: “Cleaning hands and surfaces are one of the few weapons against the pandemic. We need people to understand and see the benefits of hygiene. With the range of Ecolab products that have proven effective against the COVID-19 virus, people will feel more confident and adopt hygiene behaviours quicker to help stop the pandemic and protect public health.”
