That’s why P&G Professional, the away-from-home division of Procter & Gamble, developed its new Febreze® Professional Concentrated Sanitizing Fabric Refresher, the first formula to sanitize, prevent mold and mildew growth and remove odors from soft surfaces leaving nothing behind but the fresh scent of Febreze. It also kills 99.9 percent of bacteria, and when used as directed, is effective against 16 types of bacteria providing a sanitizing solution for high-touch, but little washed soft surfaces.
“Soft surfaces have always presented a challenge for our customers, who want to eliminate germs to help protect their guests, but do not want to damage the surfaces or leave behind a harsh scent. Until now there has not been a soft surface solution that kills 99.9 percent of bacteria and provides odor eliminating technology with the freshness of Febreze,” said Paul Edmondson, commercial director, North America, P&G Professional. “Nearly half of Healthcare surfaces alone are soft surfaces, harboring harmful bacteria. Now, professionals can safely sanitize those surfaces while leaving behind the fresh scent of Febreze.”
The EPA-registered formula is ideal for healthcare, hospitality, educational, and office settings that have public spaces and high concentrations of people and are filled with ‘un-washable’ soft surfaces like sofas and chairs, rugs, duvets, bedspreads, and decorative pillows – all of which can harbor harmful bacteria.
