Industrial hand cleaning

Industrial hand cleaning innovation developed by workers, for workers

Industrial workers are faced with many challenging environments, often exposed to dirt and contamination on a daily basis. These conditions have led to frequent hand washing, with many workers said to be using soaps that are too mild or too harsh for their skin.

Developed through significant testing and focus groups with workers, Deb has created a range of industrial hand cleaners which, the company says, provides ‘XTRA Power and XTRA Care’.
