Antibacterial Wipes Spread Bacteria?

By | 27th August 2015
When you speak to Earlsfield domestic cleaning services, make sure you chat to them about what kind of cleaning products they use so you know what chemicals are being sprayed in your home. You may also want to ask them not to use any antibacterial wipes, as recent research from the University of Cardiff’s School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science has found that the use of these wipes in hospitals could actually spread bacteria around. Now, however, a partnership between GAMA Healthcare and the university has led to the development of clinical wet wipes that can be used to help healthcare providers tackle superbug infections like MRSA in the hospital. In fact, the partnership has just won a Business Innovation Prize at the Innovation and Impact Awards 2015. “The award is wonderful recognition of the great support we received from Cardiff University, not just in terms of enhancing our knowledge but in terms of practically embedding capability that enables us to continue as a UK market leader. Working with Cardiff University has enabled us to be an integral part of innovative research,” director and co-founder of GAMA Healthcare Guy Braverman said. As a homeowner or business owner, you may want to restrict the use of wet wipes at home or at work and find other cleaning products to help you keep everything spick and span. Your choice of professional cleaning company will be able to recommend other products you can use so make sure you ask them for their advice before you next come to spring clean.
