Certified Trusted Brand Disinfection
New Pro Formula Products Effective Against Enveloped Viruses
Independent food service and hospitality businesses need enhanced disinfection capabilities from their everyday cleaning products to offer greater protection against the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 and reassure their customers and guests. New Cif Alcohol Plus surface disinfectant and Cif 4in1 Washroom Cleaner in the Pro Formula range are both HACCP-approved and certified to the international EN14476 virucidal and EN1276 bactericidal standards. This means these new formulations in well-known trusted brands meet the same rigorous standards required for disinfectants in healthcare and commercial settings. Products that meet the EN14476 standard are effective against a wide range of viruses including enveloped viruses, the type that causes Covid-19.
“Customers and guests are always reassured by good cleaning and hygiene but during the pandemic they want even more confidence that the products being used offer the highest levels of disinfection protection,” says Kelly Brodie, Consumer Brands Marketing Manager at Diversey, UK & Ireland. “Unlike many alternatives these new products meet demanding regulations and standards and carry well-known distinctive branding to provide that reassurance. The benefits of using professional formulations are really clear.”
The new products offer independent businesses additional professional-level disinfection capabilities to complement or replace existing food safety, washroom hygiene, and general cleaning processes. The distinctive pack design incorporates the trusted brand product names, a highly visible protective shield device with the virus and bacteria kill claim, and icons carrying the EN14476 and EN1276 numbers. The ready-to-use spray-bottle format means the products can be used wherever and whenever needed to make cleaning convenient and highly visible to customers and guests.
