Art of effective cleaning

Powerful Protection That Lasts

Viromist isn’t just a typical surface cleaner. It’s formulated to kill harmful bacteria on contact and continue protecting your surfaces for up to 4 hours after application. That means you can rest easy knowing your kitchen counters, bathroom sinks, or other frequently touched areas are actively being protected from germs and bacteria.

Whether you’re cleaning after preparing food, after a sick day, or just doing a routine cleanup, you’ll appreciate the peace of mind that comes with Viromist’s long-lasting effectiveness.

Viromist Available in a bulk size 5-litre container

“This practical size is designed to last longer and is always available when you need it most. It’s perfect for cleaning floors in sensitive areas, countertops, freshening and sanitizing washing machines and dishwashers, as well as dustbins and fridges.”

“Viromist is exceptionally effective yet gentle and safe, thanks to its active ingredient—chlorhexidine at a 0.5% safe concentration. As a cationic surfactant, it gently cleanses while effectively eliminating even the most resistant and deadly pathogens.”

Explaining our main active ingredient, Chlorhexidine

Chlorhexidine is a powerful antiseptic and disinfectant used to kill or inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It’s widely used in medical, dental, and personal care products because of its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and low risk of irritation when used at safe concentrations.

Key Facts:

  • Chemical Type: Cationic BI biguanide (a positively charged molecule that binds to microbial cell membranes).
  • How It Works: Chlorhexidine disrupts the cell walls of microbes, leading to their death. It’s especially good at targeting gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and some viruses and fungi.
  • Common Uses:
    • In mouthwashes to reduce plaque and gingivitis
    • In skin disinfectants before surgeries
    • In wound care and antiseptic sprays
    • As a preservative in eye drops and creams
  • Safe Concentrations:
    • Typically used at 0.05% to 4%, depending on the application
    • 0.5% is commonly used for skin antiseptics and is considered both effective and safe

Because it binds well to skin and mucous membranes, chlorhexidine offers long-lasting protection compared to other disinfectants.
