Long term, frequent use of alcohol based hand sanitizers can cause skin irritation. Alcohol solubilizes (dissolves) and strips away sebum and lipids that guard against bacterial infections of the skin. Extensive use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers actually increases the skin’s susceptibility to infection by transient disease-causing bacteria. This situation can increase the chances of spreading disease-causing microorganisms.
There is no alcohol in Kleenhanz®. Instead, the two primary ingredients are quaternary compounds, Benzalkonium Chloride and Benzethonium Chloride. Kleenhanz® kills 99.99% of germs on contact and provides germ killing protection for over two hours while leaving your hands feeling soft and fresh.
Kleenhanz® does not dry out your hands, does not sting on open wounds and does not smell bad. Kleenhanz® is 99.99% effective without all of the harsh side effects of alcohol. Kleenhanz® is also very effective as a surface wipe killing 99.99% of germs, bacteria and virus on hard surfaces, including MRSA, H1N1, Hepatitis, Herpes, HIV, Chlamydia and more. Try it once and you will never go back to liquid hand sanitizer!
"Kleenhanz is so much more than a hand sanitizer! Because it is alcohol free and effective on many forms of bacteria, including staph, we have seen amazing results using the towelette on faces to treat acne. Anyone who has suffered through the stinging, smelly and drying effects of alcohol will love how Kleenhanz makes you feel. We also wipe down all of our patient rooms and equipment, so it is handy as a surface wipe as well."Lori Suggs, Owner, Cosmetic Laser Center, Wichita Falls, TX
