CURTAINS PROVIDE PRIVACY.

AND PATHOGENS.

92% of privacy curtains have been found contaminated one week after laundering.1 Fortunately, now you can kill bacteria on soft surfaces* in 30 seconds. Disinfecting hard surfaces is only half the battle. In healthcare environments, soft surfaces — like privacy curtains, chairs and couches — can be carriers of HAI-causing pathogens. Dangerous bacteria can survive up to 90 days2 on fabric, putting patients, families and staff at risk.

Now, a solution for soft surfaces. Clorox Healthcare® Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaner Disinfectants are EPA-registered to disinfect hard surfaces and kill bacteria on soft surfaces. Finally, a single solution for all surfaces — to help you kill infection-causing pathogens wherever they may be. For your free sample, visit cloroxhealthcare.com/softsurface.
