F10 Hand Scrub 500ml – Disinfecting Hand Scrub for Reptile Keepers

F10 Hand Scrub 500ml is a broad-spectrum, surgical-grade disinfecting hand scrub designed for anyone who handles reptiles, amphibians, or works in a vivarium environment where cross-contamination is a genuine concern. It kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi at speed, while remaining genuinely gentle on skin — making it a practical daily-use product, not just an emergency measure.

Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action

F10 Hand Scrub works against gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus spp. in as little as 15 seconds, and gram-negative bacteria including Clostridium difficile and Pseudomonas spp., plus yeasts such as Candida albicans, within 30 seconds. At a one-minute contact time it achieves a reduction in cell counts exceeding log 8 — that's a greater than 100,000,000-fold reduction — and maintains residual protection for up to three hours even after repeated challenges.

Surgical-Level Protection

This is the same standard of hand preparation used for surgical scrubbing and pre-operative preparation, making it well suited to reptile keepers who assist with veterinary procedures, work in rescue or breeding facilities, or simply want the highest level of hand hygiene available. It serves as a direct alternative to preparations based on chlorhexidine or iodine, without the associated skin irritation risks those products can carry.

Skin Safety and Emollient Formula

• Proven zero irritation hazard on both intact and abraded skin
• Contains skin emollients to actively counter the drying effect common with other surgical-grade scrubs
• Safe for frequent, repeated use without compromising skin condition
• Non-irritant formulation based on the core F10 active ingredients combined with high-level skin care components

Residual Action After Application

Unlike standard hand sanitisers that offer no ongoing protection once dry, F10 Hand Scrub provides proven residual antimicrobial action lasting up to three hours post-application. This is particularly relevant when handling multiple animals in sequence, cleaning vivariums, or preparing feeds where contamination risk is continuous rather than isolated.

For reptile keepers who take biosecurity seriously — whether managing a single collection or a larger facility — F10 Hand Scrub 500ml brings clinical-grade hand hygiene into everyday husbandry practice without compromising skin health.
