Flashback to 1988, and you’ll be surprised by the many changes that have taken place in our world since then. For instance:
- The Intel 80386SX processor was introduced as a low-cost alternative to the company’s original 386 processor, according to this site. The 80386SX lacked a math coprocessor but still featured 32-bit architecture and built-in multitasking. It was available in lightning-fast — NOT — clock speeds of 16MHz, 20MHz, 25MHz, and 33MHz. Today’s computers offer processor speeds measured in gigahertz (GHz).
- The 1988 Chevrolet Sprint Metro was the most fuel-efficient vehicle sold in the United States, and its drivers paid an average of $268 per year in fuel costs! Twenty years later, the 2008 Toyota Prius was the most fuel-efficient vehicle sold in the U.S. Despite being a gas-electric hybrid, its average annual fuel bill was a whopping $911.
- Alcohol-based hand sanitizer appeared on the market for the first time.
A lot has changed since 1988.As the world waits anxiously for an expected outbreak of H1N1 virus (a.k.a., “Swine Flu”) this fall, perhaps one of the most-important changes is evident in the fact that consumers now have available to them an extremely safe, effective, non-irritating, non-flammable, non-staining alternative to alcohol-based hand sanitizers in the form of
Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer.
Available from
CLEANpHIRST™,
Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer kills well beyond the level of the leading alcohol-based hand sanitizers on the market (i.e., 99.999 percent kill rate against Staphylococcus aureus). It’s also the only formula on the market that’s been proven effective against both strains of the Norovirus.
But does it help against Swine Flu?
Though none of the hand sanitizers currently on the market can claim to kill every strain of the H1N1 virus, the active ingredient in
Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer — benzalkonium chloride (BZK) — has been proven effective against H1N1 (a.k.a.,”Swine Flu”), according to a
study conducted two years ago.
Unlike other hand sanitizer products which contain BZK,
Alcohol-Free Foam Hand Sanitizer maximizes its effectiveness via the use of a unique surfactant package that allows that ingredient to penetrate cell walls at a higher rate. And, again, it does it without alcohol, an ingredient that dries out the skin and can damage the skin with repeated use.
Again,
CLEANpHIRST Foam Hand Sanitizer DOES NOT CONTAIN ALCOHOL like its 21-year-old predecessors do. Why? Because it dries the hands, causes painful irritation that lasts for days and, with repeated use, can damage the skin.
