Product Information

Full details

The Clinell Drain Disinfectant is designed for healthcare and critical environments where maintaining hygiene in drainage systems is paramount. Its key benefit is superior efficacy over traditional disinfectants like chlorine, by eliminating protective biofilms and killing over 99.99% of bacteria, thus preventing infection. A potential caveat is the need for regular application (twice weekly) to maintain effectiveness against regrowth. The product is formulated with a near-neutral pH for material compatibility and uses a peracetic acid formulation that is tough on germs but gentle on surfaces.

FAQs

How often should I use Clinell Drain Disinfectant?

To prevent bacterial regrowth and biofilm establishment, it is recommended to use the disinfectant twice a week.

Is this product safe for all types of drains?

The product is formulated with a near-neutral pH and tested for compatibility with most common materials found in hospital drains. However, avoid use on sensitive materials not typically found in standard drainage systems.

What is a biofilm?

A biofilm is a community of microorganisms, such as bacteria, attached to a surface and encased in a self-produced matrix. Biofilms are notoriously difficult to remove and can harbor pathogens.

How is this product more effective than chlorine?

Unlike chlorine, Clinell Drain Disinfectant penetrates and eliminates the protective biofilm layer where bacteria hide and multiply, leading to a more complete disinfection.

Can I use this product to unblock drains?

No, Clinell Drain Disinfectant is a disinfectant designed to kill bacteria and eliminate biofilms. It is not formulated to break down physical obstructions or blockages.

What is the active ingredient?

The active ingredient is peracetic acid, known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy and its ability to degrade into environmentally benign substances (water, oxygen, acetic acid).

How should I dispose of the used solution?

Dispose of the used solution according to local environmental regulations. Generally, it can be flushed down the drain after the contact time, but always check local guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Disinfectant appears ineffective

Ensure the drain is not heavily clogged with organic matter. For best results, clean the drain physically before application. Ensure the correct sachet dosage is used and the recommended contact time is observed. Reapplication may be needed if biofilms are very established.

Product causes drain blockage

This product is a disinfectant, not a drain unblocker. If a blockage exists, it must be cleared mechanically before applying the disinfectant. Ensure no solid residue from the sachet remains undissolved.

Skin or eye irritation upon contact

Immediately rinse affected area with plenty of water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Always wear appropriate gloves and eye protection during use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively eliminates >99.99% of bacteria and protective biofilms.

Cons

  • Requires twice-weekly application to prevent regrowth.
  • May require specific disposal procedures depending on local regulations.
  • Effectiveness may vary based on the severity and age of biofilm buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure drains are clear of gross debris. For best results, perform a standard cleaning of the drain first.
  2. Dissolve one 30g sachet of Clinell Drain Disinfectant in the recommended volume of water (refer to product label for precise dilution if applicable, or use as directed for single-dose application).
  3. Pour the solution directly into the drain.
  4. Allow the solution to work for the recommended contact time (refer to product instructions), typically a few minutes, before flushing with water.

Compatibility:

Clinell Drain Disinfectant has a near-neutral pH and has been tested for compatibility with common materials found in hospital infrastructure and drainage systems, including various plastics, rubbers, and metals. It is generally gentler than chlorine-based alternatives.

Care:

  • Store sachets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves) during handling and application.
  • Dispose of used solution and packaging according to local regulations.
