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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBroad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eF10 Hand Scrub works against gram-positive bacteria such as \u003cem\u003eStaphylococcus\u003c\/em\u003e spp. in as little as 15 seconds, and gram-negative bacteria including \u003cem\u003eClostridium difficile\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003ePseudomonas\u003c\/em\u003e spp., plus yeasts such as \u003cem\u003eCandida albicans\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSurgical-Level Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.
