Description
Hygea Hand Wipes - Tub of 200 are alcohol-free, pre-dosed disinfectant hand wipes developed for quick hand cleansing and disinfection when soap and water are not readily available. Supplied in a convenient canister of 200 wipes, they provide an effective and hygienic alternative to traditional handwashing, killing 99.999% of bacteria and offering proven efficacy against non-enveloped viruses such as Norovirus within 30 seconds. The formulation is dermatologically and clinically tested, PT1 biocidal, and designed to be gentle on the skin, enriched with moisturising ingredients to prevent dryness and cracking.
