Like a lot
of expectant couples, Sam DeAth and his wife worried whether their home in
Hamilton, and all the household products in it, was safe for their
soon-to-be-born son. So DeAth, a product developer whose mother has a line
of botanical skin-care products, began thinking about a nontoxic household
disinfenctant. Four years later, he has come up with Benefect, a
hospital-grade germ killer made with plant extracts suitable for kitchen
cutting boards, children's toys and toilets. Benefect is so safe that DeAth,
29, is happy to demonstrate by spraying it in his mouth several times. Can
consumers be convinced that a disinfectant less toxic than vinegar actually
works? "We definitely are going to have a problem," says DeAth, "with people
thinking it's too good to be true." Health Canada has approved Benefect for
household and industrial use. Independent testers say it kills the required
99.9999 percent of bacteria. Environment Canada calls it "environmentally
preferable." The strong-smelling spray damages Styrofoam, though, so it
should not be used on picnic coolers. Deane Parkes, marketing chief at
Acton, Ont. based Purity Life Health Products Ltd., Canada's largest
distributor of natural products, including Benefect, admints some
environmentally friendly goods have only limited effectiveness. Not this
one, he maintains. His pitch: "It's non-toxic, it works which is a plus and
it can go head-to-head with Lysol."
Benefect™ was tested in a mandatory government toxicity test for drugs. The
testing was halted when Benefect™ proved to be less toxic than vinegar! Be
assured that no animals were harmed whatsoever.
Benefect™ even has a pH of 7.0, the same as pure water, which means that it
is less corrosive than other disinfectants.
The federal Bureau of Chemical Safety & the Cdn. Food Inspection Agency have
confirmed that Benefect™ is even suitable for use on food contact surfaces
without requiring rinsing or wiping off.NEW Benefect™ is the only
disinfectant to be entirely composed of natural, food grade ingredients (FCC
& U.S. GRAS).
Benefect™ is the ONLY disinfectant with no warning labels or cautions for
use YET it surpasses government efficacy requirements for hospital-grade
disinfectants.
