Hand Sanitisers and Alcohol Gels Product information

ClickCleaning stocks effective hand sanitisers that provide reliable antimicrobial protection when soap and water aren't available. While proper handwashing remains the gold standard for hand hygiene, quality hand sanitisers offer essential backup protection and convenience for busy environments.

Hand sanitiser became essential during the pandemic, but it remains valuable for ongoing infection control, convenience in mobile work situations, and as backup protection in high-traffic areas. The key is choosing sanitisers with proven effectiveness rather than products that just smell nice but don't actually kill germs.

Our hand sanitiser range focuses on proven formulations: AHS 70% Alcohol Hand Sanitiser for bulk commercial use and Sanitise Hand Sanitiser Gel in
convenient 60ml bottles for personal use. Both provide genuine antimicrobial effectiveness with practical application formats.

AHS 70% Alcohol Hand Sanitiser in 5-litre containers provides serious antimicrobial protection for commercial environments. The 70% alcohol concentration is specifically chosen because it's the most effective level for killing bacteria and viruses - higher concentrations actually work less effectively because they evaporate too quickly to provide adequate contact time.

The 5-litre bulk format makes sense for facilities that need regular sanitiser availability - office buildings, retail spaces, healthcare environments, or anywhere infection control is important. The bulk container provides excellent value whilst ensuring consistent supply during high-demand periods.

This isn't scented or fragranced sanitiser - it's formulated for effectiveness first. The alcohol provides rapid antimicrobial action whilst evaporating quickly to leave hands dry without sticky residues. It's suitable for frequent use without building up residues or causing skin problems that cheaper formulations might create.

The 5-litre container is designed for refilling dispenser systems or decanting into smaller containers for distribution around facilities. Professional facilities often have multiple sanitiser stations that need regular refilling, and bulk containers provide the most economical and practical approach.

Sanitise Hand Sanitiser Gel in 60ml bottles provides portable protection that's perfect for personal use, mobile workers, or anywhere compact sanitiser
is needed. The gel formulation provides longer contact time than liquid sanitisers whilst being less likely to run off hands before it can work effectively.

The 60ml size fits comfortably in pockets, bags, or vehicle storage whilst providing dozens of applications. It's ideal for staff who work in multiple locations, service technicians, delivery drivers, or anyone who needs reliable hand sanitiser away from washing facilities.

The gel formulation includes moisturising agents that help prevent the drying effects that frequent alcohol use can cause. This makes it more comfortable for regular use whilst maintaining antimicrobial effectiveness.

Alcohol-based sanitisers work by disrupting the cell walls and proteins of bacteria and viruses, causing rapid death of most harmful microorganisms. The 70% concentration provides the optimal balance between antimicrobial effectiveness and evaporation rate for practical use.

Proper application technique matters with hand sanitisers. Use enough product to cover all surfaces of both hands, rub hands together covering all surfaces including fingertips and thumbs, and continue rubbing until hands are dry. This usually takes 20-30 seconds for the sanitiser to be effective.

Hand sanitisers complement rather than replace proper handwashing. They're most effective on visibly clean hands and work best against bacteria and
enveloped viruses. For heavily soiled hands or certain types of contamination, soap and water remain more effective.

Storage considerations for bulk sanitisers include keeping containers sealed to prevent evaporation, storing away from heat sources that could cause excessive evaporation or create fire hazards, and ensuring adequate ventilation in storage areas due to alcohol vapours.

Fire safety is important with alcohol-based sanitisers. While modern sanitiser formulations are designed to be safer than pure alcohol, they're still flammable and should be stored away from ignition sources and in quantities appropriate to local fire regulations.

Quality control in sanitiser formulations ensures consistent alcohol content and antimicrobial effectiveness. Cheap sanitisers may have inadequate alcohol
content or use inappropriate alcohol types that don't provide reliable protection.

Professional applications where hand sanitisers are particularly valuable include healthcare and care facilities where infection control is critical, food service environments where frequent hand hygiene is required but washing isn't always practical, retail and public facilities where contamination risks
are high, and mobile work situations where washing facilities aren't readily available.

Dispensing systems for bulk sanitisers should be designed for alcohol-based products with appropriate seals and pump mechanisms. Some dispensers designed for soap may not work properly with alcohol sanitisers due to different viscosity and chemical compatibility.

Cost effectiveness of bulk sanitisers comes from the reduced packaging waste, lower cost per application, and reduced labour for restocking multiple
small containers. Professional facilities usually find bulk purchasing more economical than individual bottles.

Regulatory compliance may require specific sanitiser formulations or concentrations for certain industries. Healthcare facilities, food service, and other regulated industries should verify that chosen sanitisers meet relevant standards and requirements.

Hand Sanitisers and Alcohol Gels Products FAQs

Is 70% alcohol sanitiser effective against viruses and bacteria?

Yes, 70% alcohol is the gold standard concentration for antimicrobial effectiveness. It's actually more effective than higher concentrations because it doesn't evaporate as quickly, giving more contact time to kill germs.

The 70% concentration is proven effective against most bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses (including coronaviruses and flu). It's the concentration recommended by health authorities for professional use.

How much sanitiser should I use each time?

Use enough to cover all surfaces of both hands - typically about 3-5ml depending on hand size. You should be able to rub your hands together for 20-30 seconds before the sanitiser evaporates completely.

If the sanitiser evaporates in less than 15 seconds, you probably didn't use enough. If it takes much longer than 30 seconds to dry, you might be using too much.

Can I refill dispensers with the bulk sanitiser?

Yes, the 5-litre containers are specifically designed for refilling commercial dispensers. Make sure your dispensers are compatible with alcohol-based products - some soap dispensers have seals that aren't suitable for alcohol.

Empty and clean dispensers before refilling to prevent contamination, and use clean funnels or pouring aids to avoid spillage.

How long does hand sanitiser last?

The bulk containers typically have a 2-3 year shelf life when stored properly. Once opened, use within 12-18 months and keep containers sealed to prevent alcohol evaporation.

The 60ml bottles should be used within the expiry date and replaced if the consistency changes or the alcohol smell becomes weak, which might indicate evaporation.

Is sanitiser safe for frequent use?

Yes, quality alcohol sanitisers like ours are formulated for frequent use. The gel formulation includes moisturising agents to reduce drying effects, but very frequent use might still cause some dryness.

If you're using sanitiser dozens of times daily, consider alternating with handwashing when possible and use hand moisturiser periodically to maintain skin condition.

Can children use these sanitisers?

The products are safe when used as directed, but children should be supervised. The alcohol content makes them unsuitable for very young children who might ingest them.

For schools or childcare facilities, consider placement and supervision to prevent misuse whilst ensuring availability for proper hygiene.

What's the difference between gel and liquid sanitiser?

Gel formulations provide longer contact time and are less likely to run off hands before working effectively. They also typically include moisturising agents to reduce skin drying.

Liquid sanitisers might dispense more easily from some systems and evaporate slightly faster. Both are effective when used properly - it's more about user preference and application method.

Are these sanitisers effective against COVID-19?

Yes, alcohol-based sanitisers with 70% alcohol content are proven effective against coronaviruses, including COVID-19. The alcohol disrupts the virus envelope, making it inactive.

However, proper handwashing with soap and water remains the preferred method when available, as it's effective against all types of contamination.

Can I use sanitiser on surfaces as well as hands?

These products are formulated specifically for skin use. For surface disinfection, you'd want products specifically designed and tested for surface application.

Hand sanitisers can damage some surfaces and don't provide the contact time needed for effective surface disinfection.

How should I store bulk sanitiser containers?

Store in cool, dry conditions away from heat sources and ignition sources. Keep containers sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation, and ensure adequate ventilation in storage areas.

Check local fire regulations for any restrictions on quantities of flammable liquids that can be stored in your type of facility.
