From its launch Professional Ariel Hygiene Antibac has offered care homes and other users Log 5 Antibacterial activity (proved at 30ºC 9 minutes contact time, 9g/litre usage).

Killing germs is definitely a subject of interest to laundry professionals. Care homes using Professional Ariel rated germkill as the most important product attribute of a laundry brand in a telephone survey earlier this year (2001).

Hundreds of care home launderers using a variety of brands ranked hygiene second only to whiteness as an important attribute of a laundry detergent in their response to a postal questionnaire over the summer.

For further information, readers may wish to receive a complimentary copy of the booklet, “Laundry hygiene, your professional reference guide” which we produced in conjunction with Grahame Gardner Uniforms. To receive it they can call 0800 716 854.
