Specialist computer and equipment cleaning products manufacturer AF International has announced the launch of Hand-Clene anti-bacterial gel, an alcohol based solution for the rapid disinfection of physically clean hands. It will be available in October.

Hand-Clene sanitising gel has added vitamin E and blend of emollients minimises the drying effects associated with alcohol-based hand gels. The gel starts to work immediately to kill bacteria, yeasts and moulds and dries quickly in approximately 30 seconds to leave the skin sanitised and pleasantly conditioned.

The small, conveniently sized 50ml pump bottle makes the product perfect for personal use, its tiny enough to place inside a handbag, briefcase or school bag taking up minimum amount of space.

Karen Harrison, Marketing Manager said: “The launch of AF manufactured hand sanitising gel is finally here and gives users a portable pocket sized solution for protection against various bacteria for when water is not available. Dr Hilary Jones, well known GMTV advisor recently spoke of the importance of basic hygiene practices like hand washing, and that when using alcohol gel the hands should ideally be physically clean. He also stressed that alcohol based hand gels protect against bacteria, they do not protect against viruses. AF understands Hand-Clene is not a hand washing alternative but an addition to hand hygiene practices”
