Steri-7 Worldwide Ltd

STERI-7In 2004 James and Richard Fraser, spurred on by the knowledge that there was not a single cleaning agent on the market that was completely effective, began work on developing something that they thought would revolutionise the cleaning market. The result was STERI-7, a specialist broad-spectrum biocidal cleaner that has achieved a remarkable 99.9999% kill rate against a wide range of harmful and even deadly bacteria, viruses and spores, from MRSA and C.Diff, through to, E.Coli (0157H), Salmonella enteritidis and Legionella pneumophila. Passing the BS EN 13697 criteria for the control of each of these bacteria and reaching the standards required by ISO 13485 protocol. Whats more, it does so without employing any environmentally harmful ingredients. STERI-7 is completely Ethanol-free, ... non-toxic and non-corrosive, contains no bleaching agents or oxidisers and is 100% safe and tested for use on fabrics and soft metals.But the thing that makes STERI-7 truly remarkable is its unique Reactive Residual Barrier Technology (RBT). RBT is the power behind STERI-7s exclusive Single Stage Cleaning Process. A brilliant time and money saving operation, the Single Stage Process is simplicity itself. Lower level disinfectants may kill some bacteria, but they are only designed to work while wet. As soon as the solution has dried it has no effect on new bacteria attacking the surface. This means re-colonisation will occur a couple of hours after the surface has been cleaned.With STERI-7 on the other hand, once its been sprayed and wiped over, the RBT comes into its own. Forming an inert microscopic barrier on the surface so that, even when the bacteria reappear, the simple application of a clean damp cloth starts the STERI-7 working again. Instantly. And, it stays effective for up to a whole week, killing pathogens between cleans and protecting floors and surfaces 24/7. In todays political atmosphere, where everyone is watching and waiting for the next outbreak of MRSA or C.Diff, its vital to keep every room, floor, surface and piece of equipment absolutely spotless. The problem is, most cleaning products on the market need to be used almost constantly to prevent re-infection - a time consuming and expensive process.Thanks to RBT and the Single Stage Cleaning Process, STERI-7 allows cleaning staff to concentrate on giving more sensitive and essential areas the deep and thorough clean they demand. To quantify the time savings STERI-7 offers, we asked, i-Clean, a major cleaning company, to calculate the time cost per square metre of using STERI-7 instead of normal cleaners in a typical care home.i-Clean found that due to the effectiveness of STERI-7, housekeepers could replace a number of full cleans with much quicker check cleans with no detriment to hygiene standards. The result of this was time savings of at least 33% according to the area cleaned. And with manpower costs accounting for around 90% of cleaning costs, the potential cost savings are significant.Crucially, they discovered that the largest savings are found in areas that represent the greatest
threat to hygiene, as they have to be cleaned the most frequently. Mike Boxall, the MD of i-Clean said, Any kind of healthcare or catering organisation stands to benefit hugely from this breakthrough product, as it provides 24/7 protection in areas of very frequent human contact.In short, if you are looking for significant savings in both time and costs, plus the peace of mind that comes from knowing youre giving your staff and patients first-class hygienic protection, then you really should be looking at STERI-7 as your cleaning product of choice.
