Disposable Wipe That Kills Hepatitis B On Countertops Introduced By Nice-Pak Products For Food Handlers.

ORANGEBURG, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 16, 1998--Nice-Pak Products announced today the introduction of Sani-Cloth HB, the first and only EPA approved germicidal disposable wipe that kills the Hepatitis B virus, as well as over 100 other micro-organisms. Designed for use on countertops, food cases and other hard surfaces in food service establishments, Sani-Cloth HB will set a new standard in infection control.

In just ten minutes, Sani-Cloth HB eliminates the deadly Hepatitis B virus, a major concern of food service establishments. Additionally, Sani-Cloth HB kills E-coli bacteria, Salmonella, Staph, HIV and more than 100 other viruses and bacteria to prevent the risk of infection for both employees and customers.

"The recent news explosion about the health hazard of contamination among food handlers has clarified the critical need for a disposable wipe that takes the guess-work out of keeping restaurants as germ-free as possible," said Joann Reilly, Director of Marketing for Nice-Pak Products. "No other cleaning product, including sprays, is more effective or convenient in preventing contamination in food service settings than Sani-Cloth HB. It is the only disposable wipe registered and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency as effective against the Hepatitis B virus on non-food contact surfaces in restaurants. Sani-Cloth HB provides quick and easy protection against disease for employees and customers."

Sani-Cloth HB is pre-saturated with a powerful, alcohol-free germicidal solution. Unlike bleach-based sprays used in most restaurants, Sani-Cloth HB is non-toxic, non-flammable and non-caustic. It is ideal for use on any hard, non-porous surface including countertops, tables, refrigerators, walk-ins, rest rooms and doorknobs in food service establishments. In addition, Sani-Cloth HB eliminates the airborne food contamination hazards associated with cleaning sprays.

Convenient and easy-to-use, Sani-Cloth HB eliminates the need for mixing, measuring and storing cleaning sprays. It is available in convenient pop-up canisters with optional wall brackets, or individual pocket-packets.

"Sani-Cloth HB is the ideal complement to Sani-Hands, Nice-Pak's hand sanitizing wipe also designed for restaurant employees," continued Ms. Reilly. "Sani-Hands and Sani-Cloth HB provide the one-two punch necessary to wipe out the spread of infection stemming from food-service establishments."

Nice Pak Products is the originator of pre-moistened disposable wipes. For more information on Sani-Cloth HB, Sani-Hands or any Nice-Pak product, contact the company at [phone] or visit the company on-line at www.pdipdi.com.
