How does Hygienilac work?

Staph Aureus

• It prevents the bacteria's access to nutrients so they starve and die
• It has a kill rate of 99.9 per cent over a 24 hr period
• It will remain effective for years because of its inherently low water solubility
• Because of Hygienilac's inherent biocidal properties the furniture can be effective cleaned with Hygienilac cleaner.
