✦ Synopsis

with Bleach to kill Clostridium difficile spores in 5 minutes, the fastest C difficile contact time available. This is the first bleach-based wipe to receive EPA registration for C difficile, a spore-forming bacterium found in the intestines that can cause a variety of symptoms, from diarrhoea to more serious life-threatening intestinal disease. DISPATCH towels with bleach clean and disinfect hard, non-porous surfaces quickly and effectively in one step. They are premoistened with a unique 1:10 stable sodium hypochlorite solution, namely the concentration that is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention guidelines for effective disinfecting against the toughest healthcare pathogens, including C difficile. They are also EPA-registered to kill 26 additional pathogens that cause healthcare-associated infections. The ready-to-use towels can be used on multiple surfaces in healthcare settings, including plastic, plastic laminate, stainless steel, sealed fibreglass and glazed porcelain.
