PureGreen24 disinfectant and deodorizer has been included in the 2010 Cleaning for Healthy Schools Infection Control Handbook by TURI, the Toxic Use Reduction Institute.

Brigitte Ferrada-Stetson, co-founder of Pure Green LLC, commented, “We are very pleased to be included in this infection control handbook and to be able to offer the extensive benefits of our product. PureGreen24 kills dangerous bacteria and viruses without the use of toxic chemicals.”

Over the course of two years, the TURI workgroup created a comprehensive handbook on disinfection, sanitation, hand hygiene options and product selection to help reduce the use of, and exposure to, toxic products in schools. The full handbook can be found at www.TURI.org with a search of ‘School Disinfection Workgroup.’

The Workgroup found that a thorough, ongoing cleaning program is the best strategy to prevent disease transmission. The material is intended to be used by school personnel, including facility managers, head custodians, administrators, nurses and purchasing agents, when customizing their school program.

PureGreen24 is the only disinfectant that can potentially be added to the DFE list of green products that offers no rinse required for skin contact on children’s toys, based on their findings. In addition, PureGreen24 is the only disinfectant to offer these benefits: fast kills times, as well as odorless and 24hour residual protection.
