Virus bomb in a can. Is this a COVID killer?

 We’re all familiar with the concept of a flea or cockroach bomb to exterminate a critter infestation, but did you know it’s possible to ‘bomb’ a space in a similar fashion with ‘sanitisation in a can’ thanks to a new Aussie innovation?

With the push of a button, the ViroCLEAR Sanitiser & Protectant Fogger dispenses a fine mist of anti-microbial sanitiser that gets into every crack and crevice to create a protective layer covering up to 40m2.

The fogger is a game-changer for travel, hospitality, aged care, medical, education, real estate, automotive, gyms – basically any indoor space.

Powered by botanical extracts of chamomile and native lemon bush and devoid of harsh chemicals that can lead to skin sensitisation, the formulation kills 99.99% of germs and bacteria, including rhinovirus – the main culprit behind the common cold.

Daniel Seldon from Aussie Pharma Direct who distribute the fogger, says it’s perfect for our times.

“The pandemic has created a heightened awareness of the need for good sanitisation, so this is another tool in our protective armoury to keep everyone safe and healthy,” says Seldon. “Not every indoor space lends itself to good ventilation, so the ViroCLEAR fogger offers an effective solution to kill airborne ‘nasties.’ And it can also be dispersed via air conditioning systems to help spread the protection even further.”

ViroCLEAR is an Australian-owned and -made invention of Ross Macdougald, who initially created it for his wife Lucy, who suffers from eczema and is unable to use standard ethanol and alcohol-based sanitisers. His passion project resulted in a hospital-grade surface disinfectant that kills Covid within 90 seconds of surface contact.

“Once I ‘cracked the code’ I thought, ‘wouldn’t it be great if we could put this formulation into an easy-to-use fogger anyone could use to help reinvigorate businesses and livelihoods after this awful Covid period we’ve all been experiencing?’” says Macdougald. “There is nothing quite like this on the market that provides a super low chemical sanitiser that really works.”
