product JohnsonDiversey recently introduced a new, comprehensive norovirus infection control kit. The kit, designed for the company’s distributor partners, includes a training CD, fact sheets, product selection guide, e-mail templates, and sample flyers. JohnsonDiversey offers six EPA-registered products to help control norovirus. Included in that list are Oxivir TbTM/MC and Carpe Diem TbTM/MC, one-step cleaner-disinfectants formulated with proprietary AHP® hydrogen peroxide technology to deliver fast, effective cleaning performance and 60-second contact time for disinfection. These products are among the most sustainable products on the market. The active ingredient, hydrogen peroxide, breaks down into oxygen and water, giving the products an HMIS (Hazardous Materials Identification System) health hazard rating of zero when used at proper dilution. Norovirus is highly contagious, which causes outbreaks to spread rapidly. JohnsonDiversey’s norovirus infection control kit enables distributors to quickly communicate with their customers and provide effective products and resources in a timely manner. www.ahptechnology.com Bolenz Int. has introduced “MicroGluvs,” a microfiber product that includes the following features: hand seemed and form fitted by using cutting-edge, high quality microfiber; thumb slits along the sides for pushing thumbs out in order to grab onto spray bottles, mops, door knobs, etc.; they can be turned over to provide two-sided cleaning; eliminates the need for large amounts of paper towels and can be reused up to 500 times before needing to be replaced; “Green Friendly”—needs little or no chemicals and has been proven through scientific testing to eliminate most bacteria on contact; and color-coordinated in a variety of colors to vastly reduce chances of any cross-contamination from cleaning counter tops or bathroom fixtures. microgluvs@aol.com Cannon Hygiene meets the needs of today’s woman by introducing revolutionary new feminine hygiene waste-disposal units.
