Double win at Cleaning Show

Chemspec Europe won awards in 2 of the 12 categories at The Cleaning Show this year.

Formula 429 was awarded the Innovation Award 2011 in the category of Healthcare Cleaning Product/Service and DFC 105 was awarded the Innovation Award 2011 in the category of Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Product.

Formula 429 is a water-based, broad spectrum, anti-microbial incorporating Byotrol, which is fogged to control levels of environmental bacteria. It does not require heating and does not use solvents or chlorine-based compounds.The HCAI trial evaluated the effectiveness and turnaround times of the cold fogging system using Formula 429 in decontamination of hospital ward rooms such as infection control side rooms, patient toilets and bath areas, sluice rooms, bedded bays and associated equipment in Barts and The London NHS Trust hospitals.The Department of Microbiology at the London Hospital assessed the Results for E.coli. C. difficile and MRSA.

Overall the study was said to indicate that cold fogging with Formula 429 is a practical and effective method of decontaminating hospital ward areas that are potential sources of infection.

The DFC105 is made from naturally generated ingredients and avoids the use of surfactants and phosphates.

The ingredients in DFC105 are claimed to be 'generally safe for consumption', by the Food Standards Agency, being part of our everyday diet.

DFC works on severe soiling and, with the trend being towards natural product use, Chemspec Europe anticipates DFC becoming the industry standard for responsible carpet cleaners and for those specifying carpet cleaning work to be done.

DFC105 has been tested and is said to have more independent accreditation than any other product in the industry.
