Purdy & Figg Hand Sanitiser Spray | Kills 99.999% of Bacteria, Formulated with 70% Alcohol & Moisturising Pure Essential Oils | Antibacterial, Travel Size - Charlotte’s Floral Fragrance (50ml)

Product Information

In 3500 BC, the Ancient Egyptians used sodium carbonate for everything from soap products, to assisting in drying and preserving their mummies, to oral care, and in antiseptics and as an insecticide. What sets Purdy & Figg apart is their commitment to using only natural ingredients. With this room spray, there are no harsh chemicals involved, which gives me peace of mind knowing that I'm not introducing any unnecessary toxins into my living space. The simple instructions make it incredibly easy to use; just add a bit of oil, top it off with water, and you're ready to spray away. In general, there are two ways antibacterial products work: non-specific and specific targeting. Using an alcohol spray is an example of non-specific mode of action, and this does not cause any concerns in terms of bacteria developing resistance. On the other hand, when antibacterial agents target specific bacteria, this bacteria can develop resistance. This resistant bacteria (the 0.1% of bacteria left behind) then knows how to survive our cleaning regime and starts breeding to create superbugs in our homes.

As mentioned before, there is no need to keep our homes absolutely spotless. For general cleaning, quite often all you need is a gentle cleaning product containing soap or surfactants, with a bit of help of solvents (e.g. alcohol), acids (e.g. vinegar & lemons) or alkalis (bicarbonate of soda), depending on the stains you are dealing with.First class product, best I’ve ever used. Smells amazing. As I live on a boat and storage is limited this is a great space saver as it cleans everything, even the glass on my fire stove,” one customer wrote for the Variety Starter Kit.

Bicarbonate of soda is ineffective against most bacteria including salmonella E.coli and staphylococcus.In general day-to-day life, there is no need to use antibacterial spray on top of cleaning products. However, we understand there are times when you want to reach for an antimicrobial product, for example when someone in the household is ill or immune compromised. In this case, always make sure to read the instructions properly, as you may have to use a different product to clean your surfaces first, before applying an antimicrobial product of your choice. My advice would be to not use these products regularly without a good reason, just as you would not take antibiotics for a cold. Why killing bacteria can do more harm than good? Bicarb is famous for its deodorising properties - there's a reason people say to put it in smelly shoes! Put a small bowl of bicarb with a few drops of lemon essential oil in a clean fridge to remove any lingering smells. One of the most outstanding features of this product is the amazing scent. The fragrance is truly captivating and manages to linger beautifully without being overpowering. It's a breath of fresh air in a market saturated with artificial, overpowering scents. The fact that it's so easy to customize the concentration of the scent by adjusting the oil-to-water ratio is a fantastic bonus.
