Product Summary

Fight the Influenza A H1N1 Virus (Swine Flu)
Over 80% of all infectious illnesses are spread by hand contact including the H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic that is now a major health threat worldwide. As such, good hand hygiene is important in preventing infections and transmissions.

Key Benefits

• Kills 99.9% of Microbes (bacterial, viruses and fungi) upon contact, including the H1N1 Influenza A virus (swine flu), H5N1 virus (avian flu), SARS, MRSA bacteria (SuperBug) etc, as tested by CIBA labs.
• 6-Hr Sustained Protection against Microbes – Our special ingredient Triclosan continues to kill microbes 6 to 8 hours after hand application, even with up to 4 hand washes.
• Moisturizers Added – Frequent use of alcohol-based hand sanitisers dry the hands which could lead to Irritant Contact Dermatitis. Germ Killer³ contains two powerful Moisturizers, Sodium PCA & Glycerin, preventing the skin from peeling and becoming inflamed.
• Non-toxic even if accidentally swallowed in small quantities.

 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why choose Germ Killer³?

• Germ Killer³ has been preventing hand-to-hand transmission of diseases for more than 10 years, with a proven track record in antimicrobial (anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal) action that kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and fungi upon contact, including the H1N1 (swine flu) virus. Its three alcohols – denatured, isopropyl and ethanol – are three of the safest and most researched alcohols with broad spectrum antimicrobial action.
• Germ Killer³ rapidly kills a wide range of viruses, gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, moulds and yeast including H1N1 (swine flu) virus, SARS, H5N1 (bird flu) virus, staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus, escherichia coli, proteus, enterobacter, klebsiella, candida yeast, antibiotic-resistant MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus), Vancomycin-resistant bacteria, microsporum species, trichophyton mentagrophytes etc etc.
• More importantly, Germ Killer³ contains Triclosan which unlike the alcohols, remains active against a broad spectrum of pathogens, even after the product has dried on your hands. As such, Triclosan continues to protect you against infections 6 to 8 hours after each application, even with up to 4 hand washes.
• Non-sticky and Moisturizing formula

Is Germ Killer³ safe?

Germ Killer³ is as safe on the hands as soap and water. All ingredients have been carefully selected for their effectiveness and good safety record. It is non-toxic even if accidentally swallowed in small quantities. However, if there is oral or eye contact, repeated rinsing with water should be practiced. As Germ Killer³ contains alcohols, it is flammable in the liquid form, but is non-flammable when dried.

Do I need to use Germ Killer³ if I wash my hands properly?

Studies have shown that the most effective regimen against antimicrobial activity is using an antibacterial soap followed by a hand sanitiser containing alcohol. Using Germ Killer³ on top of washing your hands will ensure that you are doubly protected, with the additional benefit of sustained (6-hour) protection against pathogens.
