The Future of NHS Disinfection: Why Trusts Are Switching to SANI‑99™

In an era where healthcare demands safer, greener, and more effective infection control, the NHS is rethinking its reliance on traditional disinfectants. Products like chlorine, bleach, and alcohol-based solutions—once seen as the gold standard—now present serious limitations: corrosiveness, health hazards, poor environmental performance, and inconsistent pathogen control.

That’s why NHS Trusts are turning to SANI‑99™: a next-generation, alcohol-free, chlorine-free disinfectant that offers Log7 kill-rate performance, unmatched environmental credentials, and ease of use across all healthcare environments.

Now fully available via NHS Supply Chain, SANI‑99™ marks a significant advancement in infection prevention for the NHS.

Now Available to Order on NHS Supply Chain

The complete SANI‑99™ Disinfectant Range is live and ready to order:

All products are supported with full EN certifications, MSDS documentation, and verified carbon reporting to meet NHS Green Plan and PPN 06/21 compliance standards.

A Scientific Breakthrough in Infection Control

SANI‑99™ is clinically formulated to deliver a 99.99995% kill rate (Log7)—outperforming standard disinfectants that typically offer Log 3 or Log 4 efficacy. It is independently tested and certified to:

  • EN 17126 (C. difficile spores)
  • EN 14476 (viruses including Norovirus and SARS‑CoV‑2)
  • EN 13727 & EN 1276 (bacteria including MRSA, E. coli, Pseudomonas)
  • EN 1500 (hand hygiene)

This powerful, broad-spectrum activity means fewer organisms remain after cleaning—just 50 per square metre, compared to 10,000+ with traditional 99.9% effective solutions.

Why NHS Trusts Are Moving Away from Chlorine and Alcohol

Despite their widespread use, chlorine-based disinfectants and alcohol rubs bring serious drawbacks:

ChallengeTraditional Disinfectants
Corrosive to surfaces and medical equipmentYes
Short shelf life after dilution (24h)Yes
Strong odour, irritant to staff and patientsYes
Require PPE and hazardous waste handlingYes
Contribute high CO₂ emissions and toxic residuesYes
Flammable (alcohol-based rubs)Yes

These legacy products often fail to meet the NHS’s modern requirements for safety, sustainability, and operational efficiency.

Why SANI‑99™ Is the Future of NHS Disinfection

Clinical-Grade Efficacy

  • Log 7 performance kills pathogens more effectively and faster than most alternatives.
  • Eliminates bacteria, viruses, spores, mould, and fungi—ideal for outbreak control and routine hygiene.

Alcohol-, Chlorine- & Fragrance-Free

  • Safe for frequent use across wards, ICUs, care homes, and GP practices.
  • No VOCs, no respiratory irritation, no corrosion—better for staff and patient wellbeing.

No PPE Required

  • Non-toxic, non-corrosive, and safe to use without gloves or masks.
  • Suitable for spray, mop, fogging, and electrostatic applications.

Hand Hygiene Certified

  • EN 1500 certified for hygienic hand rub use—a rare distinction among disinfectants.
  • Simplifies product stock by covering both surfaces and skin safely.

Extended Shelf Life

  • 180-day stability once diluted — compared to 1-day shelf life for hypochlorite.
  • Reduces waste and stock spoilage.
