Product Information
Full details
The Greenspeed Lacto Des is an ideal disinfectant for professional cleaners, catering staff, and facility managers who require a high-performance, plant-based solution for sanitization. Its key benefit is the combination of rapid, broad-spectrum microbial elimination with a formula that is safe for food contact surfaces and free from harsh chemicals like chlorine or alcohol. However, users should note that as a ready-to-use solution, it requires a five-minute contact time to ensure maximum efficacy against bacteria, yeasts, and viruses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Lacto Des is a ready-to-use product, meaning no dilution is required. This eliminates the risk of mixing errors that can reduce the efficacy of disinfectants.
- Storage: Keep the 5L container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent evaporation or contamination.
- Compatibility: Safe for most hard, non-porous surfaces. While it lacks the corrosive nature of chlorine, it is always recommended to test on a small, inconspicuous area if applying to specialized materials or delicate plastics.
- Care: As this is a professional-grade product, ensure that you use a clean spray trigger mechanism. Over time, build-up in spray nozzles can occur; rinse triggers with water periodically to ensure a consistent mist.
