Whilst the recent cases of Swine Flu (H1N1) have raised the awareness of hygiene, it is important to take precautions to prevent employees from contracting and spreading any viruses or influenza.
Workplaces can be a breeding ground for viruses and bacterial infections. Cold or flu germs can live for a long time (up to 48 hours) on surfaces like doorknobs and things people touch with their hands.
 Influenza viruses (including Swine Flu) are rendered inactive by the correct application of an effective Anti-Viral Sanitiser. Crest recommends sanitising surfaces that people frequently touch with Anti-Viral Sanitiser regularly, preferably daily.
Crest's Anti-Viral Sanitiser is a wide spectrum bactericide, fungicide and virucide; effective against: Influenza A (Swine flu H1N1), HIV-1 (AIDS), Hepatitis B & C, MRSA, Listeria, Salmonella, E-coli*.
*See full pathogen list and product specification
The Anti-Viral Sanitiser will have a residual effect, i.e. traces of sanitiser left on the surface will keep on killing any new virus spores that may land on the surface.
