The UK national guidance for healthcare professionals specifically mentions chlorine as a disinfectant. This is due to the fact that chlorine has long been seen as the 'de facto' disinfectant within UK healthcare environments. This guidance recommends using alternative disinfectants if they are agreed with the local Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) team and tested for virucidal efficacy against the EN14476 standard.

Clinell Universal Wipes have been proven effective against the exact strain of coronavirus that causes COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) in 30 seconds. They've been tested according to the EN14476 test method by an accredited, third-party laboratory.


 As long as they are agreed with your local IPC team, Clinell Universal Wipes are perfectly compliant with PHE guidance.
