FAQ

 

Are ProtectALL products toxic? Can they be used around children and animals?

Everything has a degree of “toxicity” (even plain water). Having said that, the Zoono formulation used in Protect24 and Protect30 has a very low toxicity - similar to Vitamin C. So it is fine to use around pets, plants, furniture and humans (both big and small).

Will Protect24 wash or rub off?

No.

The barrier remains on the skin for up to 24 hours and does not rub off with normal hand washing or drying.

Will Protect24 dry out my skin?

No.

Many other hand sanitisers work by utilising a concentration of alcohol of at least 60% which can dry out the skin and cause irritation, especially with prolonged use.

Protect24 uses Zoono which is a non-alcohol formulation and has been designed to keep your skin from drying out whilst still maintaining full effectiveness against pathogens.

Do ProtectALL products work specifically on COVID-19?

The active ingredient in the Zoono formulation has been verified by over 100 independent laboratory tests for various pathogens. Confirmation was obtained that it is effective on SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19 disease. Testing to claim that a product is capable of working against SARS-CoV-2 requires a product to be used against the internationally standardised surrogate virus. The Zoono formulation used in Protect24 and Protect30 has been proven to work with 99.99% effectiveness against the SARS-CoV-2 feline surrogate.

What else do Protect24 and Protect30 protect against?

The active ingredient in the Zoono formulation has been proven to be active against E.Coli, MRSA, Tuberculosis, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Norovirus, Bovine flu (MERS), Athletes foot and Klesiella Pneumoniae amongst many others.

Can I spray Protect30 on my clothes?

Yes,

Protect30 is not alcohol-based. That makes it perfect to spray on jackets, school uniforms, bags and fabric masks in addition to your laptop or phone.

Does it really protect you for 24 hours or 30 days?

Yes,

The active ingredients in Zoono’s formulation have been verified for their intended use against pathogens and bacteria which confirmed its capabilities for use for these time frames. Protect30 will stay active on hard and fabric surfaces up to 30 days even if it is washed with detergents or treated with alcohol.

Can I spray Protect30 around my kitchen?

Yes,

The active ingredient in Protect30 and Protect24 is food and child safe. It has been approved for use in food preparation areas for sanitation as well as in medical areas. Two separate tests have been completed to EN Standard 14476; 2013+ A2:2019. The European standard applies to products within the medical area including hygienic hand rubs and wash, instrument disinfection by immersion and surface disinfection by wiping, spraying, flooding or other means.

I use lots of other household cleaning products. Won’t they give me some level of lasting protection?

A lot of people believe that their current household products provide them some level of ongoing antibacterial protection beyond the moment of application.

What they don't realise is that many disinfectants become inactive once the liquid is dry. That is, it is only effective at the time of the application. Once the treated surface is dry, bacteria can be reintroduced to the surface. In fact, under ideal conditions bacteria can grow and multiply every 20 minutes. It can then remain on surfaces from several hours to days. The bacteria living on contaminated surfaces has the potential to transfer to people through contact.

Protect30 works around the clock. Even once it is dry it provides an ongoing anti-microbial shield that keeps on protecting you even when you are not actively cleaning.

What is in the ProtectALL products?

A specialised Quaternary Ammonium Compound combined with Phenoxyethanol (glycol ether) which is then combined with purified, deionized water. The trade secret lies in the technology behind the Quaternary ammonium compound which enables the product to stay active and continue killing pathogens for long periods of time.
