Panhandle Uses Chemical Free Products in Your Home – Family Safe!
Worried about what chemicals will be used in your home?
At Panhandle, we strive to uphold the highest standards of care in our work. In order to perform our restoration service effectively and completely, an antimicrobial may be used to control microbial growth. We are proud to say that every consideration has been given in choosing an antimicrobial that will not introduce additional health risks or compromise indoor air quality. It is an industry best practice to inform the Customer of the antimicrobial that may be used during the restoration.
Benefect® Botanical Disinfectant has been chosen specifically because it’s made from plants and has an excellent safety profile. It’s the world’s first and only all botanical antimicrobial and replaces the need for toxic chemicals. Benefect Botanical Disinfectant is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a broad spectrum, hospital disinfectant that kills 99.99% of bacteria, viruses & fungi (mold) and is suitable to be used in residential or commercial applications.
The EPA also reviews & classifies all disinfectants for Acute Toxicity in regards to human exposure (skin, inhalation, eyes and ingestion). Benefect Botanical Disinfectant has not shown to have any adverse effects and subsequently has a Category IV rating -the lowest toxicity profile allowed by law. As a result, EPA labeling legislation does not require any Signal Words, Warnings, Cautions or even first aid statements on the product label. Benefect Disinfectant is low VOC and does not contain any carcinogens, mutagens or reproductive toxicants. This product is free of synthetic fragrances, dyes and ammonia and chlorine and has met all criteria to be certified by Ecologo Environmental.
How can a disinfectant be less toxic than vinegar?
In nature, plants produce germ-killing ‘essential oils’ to protect themselves from invading microbes, similar to how our bodies produce antibodies for our protection. Benefect is a revolutionary blend of these antimicrobial extracts, particularly from the herb Thyme, and achieves remarkable efficacy …without using any traditional synthetic chemicals.
To put it simply, Benefect ® is a ‘plant immune system’ in a bottle.
Over 5,000 years of history shows that microbes do not build up a tolerance or resistance to the antimicrobial action of essential oils. The concentrations of essential oils required to kill microbes have not changed during this entire period. On the other hand, current germ killing practices have lead to highly resistant organisms, which require stronger, more toxic chemicals and increasingly complicated disinfecting procedures…in just 60 years.
Benefect‘s groundbreaking botanical technology is proven to kill over 99.99% of bacteria & surpasses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s efficacy requirements for broad spectrum hospital disinfectants.
