More info on Sino Fresh

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I'm pretty intrigued by Sino Fresh. It's main ingredient is

Cetylpyridinium chloride, but one of its so called inactive

ingredients, benzalkonium chloride (aka Quat), also seems to have

quite the punch. Here's an excerpt about its killing and

disinfecting abilities.

" Quats Are The Best Choice: They Provide Safe and Effective One-

Step Cleaning and Disinfecting

Quaternary Ammonium Chlorides or " quats " as they are commonly known

are based upon the active ingredient benzalkonium chloride. These

quaternary salt compounds can be formulated with a variety of

ingredients to provide a safe and effective neutral pH, disinfectant-

cleaner without damaging floor finishes or sensitive floor

surfaces. In addition, quats are economical and extremely effective

odor control agents when used according to label directions.

Quats are effective in destroying a broad spectrum of harmful

microorganisms. They are effective in killing the following

microorganisms while cleaning the surfaces upon which they reside –

all in one simple step.

1.Gram negative and gram positive bacteria like salmonella typhi,

staphylococcus aureus, streptococcus epidermidis and pseudomonas

aeruginosa,

2.viruses like HIV-1, Herpes simplex 1 and 2

3.Antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria including methicillin

resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

4.and fungi like trichophyton interdigitale (athlete's foot). "
