We have a new product that kills C-diff….yes, that's right! We've always had high grade disinfectants that kill MRSA, influenza, ecoli, staph, strep, herpes, parvo and much more but to kill C. diff. was difficult until now.
Canberra is pleased to offer Husky 815 HCD Disinfectant, a hydrogen-peroxide based disinfectant that is effective in killing a broad spectrum of harmful bacteria and viruses, including C. diff. Clostridium difficile, (C. diff), is a spore forming bacterium that is very difficult to remove and can be transferred to hospital patients via the hands of a healthcare worker or visitor who has touched a contaminated surface or item. Preventing the spread of C. difficile is particularly difficult because its spores are resistant to standard disinfectants and can live on hard surfaces for months. Husky 815 HCD Disinfectant is effective against C. diff. in 2 minutes helping hospitals to reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections.
It is ideal for use in hospital patient rooms, operating rooms, ICU, emergency room and long-term care facilities to disinfect floors, walls, and other non-porous surfaces such as tables, chairs, countertops, bathroom fixtures, carts, handrails and telephones. Husky 815 is EPA Registered as a Broad Spectrum Disinfectant Cleaning Product and is an effective bactericide, fungicide, and virucide.
Fiberglass floors in tubs and showers always look grungy no matter what type of product you use and no amount of elbow grease can remove that grey shadow.
A new product by Canberra is Husky 416 Mildew Stain Remover. I know that the bottom of your shower doesn't necessarily have mildew on it but this stuff really works. The different types of detergents in this attack those grey, black nasty floors.
I've given to friends and customers who are amazed at the results not only on their mold & mildew problems but on the fiberglass bottoms in tubs and showers.
People tell me that the Husky 416 worked the first time. It didn't take 2-3 applications and lots of scrubbing. Spray it on, let it sit for 10-15 minutes, give it some aggitation and rinse. Wow!
The pH Scale is a means of measuring the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a cleaning agent or solution, simple, easy-to-understand, numeric terms. The scale itself has a range of 0-14,with 0 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkaline. The mid-point on the scale is 7 and is classed as neutral and this corresponds with the pH measurement for distilled water.
In general terms acidic products (less than pH 7) have descaling properties. Alkaline products (greater than pH 7) have degreasing properties.
When a pH value of a product or solution decreases below 7, its acidity will start to increase. Most acid based cleaning materials will have a typical pH value of between 0.5 and 5 on the scale. Concentrated pure acids will have a pH value of approximately 0.1, though these would never be used as cleaning as cleaning agents.
Acidic products are most commonly used to remove limescale deposits from hard surfaces as they will dissolve salts that are not soluble in water.
As you can see from the chart, if the pH value rises above 7, the product or solution will become more alkaline. Alkaline products are particularly effective in removing greasy and fatty deposits from hard surfaces. They will typically have a pH value of between 11 and 12.5. Stronger alkaline products such as emulsion floor polish strippers will have a value of around 13. Caustic soda, which is extremely corrosive, will have a pH value of 14.
As we have pointed out earlier, the pH of distilled water is 7 which is taken as being the purest neutral solution. However, in reality, any product or solution with a pH value of between 6 and 9 is generally considered to be neutral. Neutral products are commonly used for general cleaning procedures and include floor cleaners and carpet cleaning solution.
Don't fall into the habit of jamming items in the dishwasher like in a game of Tetris. Utensils nested together won't get an even washing, so alternate placing spoons handles up and down, but keep forks tines up for best cleaning. In addition, make sure not to mix silver and stainless steel flatware, as the silver could get pitted if they touch. Never stack items, either, because the water spray won't be able to reach the dishes on top. Place extra-dirty items on the bottom rack facing the center so they're near the spray arm. And if you're using a detergent pod, place it in the dispenser—if tossed in, it'll dissolve too quickly.

Re-usable microfiber, the green, earth friendly method vs. disposable floor cleaning methods (grocery store disposable systems) – not earth friendly.
Microfiber pads can be thrown in the washer with your bath mat or throw rugs or even your towels depending on how dirty they are. Warm water wash (hot water will breakdown the "micro fibers") no bleach, no fabric softener, hang to dry.
The fibers are actually "micro" in size which catch more dirt and bacteria.
The beauty of microfiber pads is that you can put 4-5, or however many you might need to complete your floor cleaning, in a bucket or the sink with a bit of neutral cleaner. Let the pads soak in there for a minute, take one out, hand wring it, attach to the frame and clean an area until you think the pad is soiled. Take the soiled pad and put it in a dirty pile. Take a fresh pad from the solution bucket/sink and repeat. No cross contamination and no streaking. Streaking is usually due to 1) dirty mop ~ which we've just eliminated by using multiple pads, 2) dirty cleaning solution ~ we didn't put anything dirty into it to contaminate it, or 3) too much neutral clean ~ too much product is never good.
Microfiber pads can also be used to spot clean floors. If there's a portion of the floor that needs cleaned up, like around the stove or sink, simply make up a little solution in a spray bottle, give a few squirts to the floor and run the wet microfiber pad over the area. Fantastic!
