Awareness of cleanliness and hygiene has risen sharply since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Whether in the supermarket, on public transport or in our own homes - people are now paying more attention to cleaning and disinfection everywhere. The pandemic has made us acutely aware of how important it is to consistently combat potential pathogens and prevent them from spreading.
A variety of measures have been taken to contain the virus. These include regular disinfection, the wearing of protective masks and increased cleaning intervals in public areas. Places with high visitor frequency such as train stations, schools, hospitals and restaurants are a particular focus. However, even if surfaces appear clean at first glance, the external impression is often deceptive.
Invisible dangers: What the eye cannot see
Cleanliness is not always visible. Despite thorough cleaning, residues can remain on surfaces that cannot be seen with the naked eye. However, these residues - for example organic substances such as proteins or fats - provide ideal conditions for the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses or molds. This is particularly problematic in areas where hygiene is of the utmost importance, such as in the catering, medical and food production sectors.
So the central question is: how can we determine whether a surface is really hygienically clean - not just on the surface, but also in a microbiological sense?
The Clean Card - a simple solution with a big impact
This is where the so-called Clean Card comes into play - a practical, easy-to-use test card that can be used to detect invisible contamination quickly and reliably. Using the Clean Card is extremely simple and requires no specialist knowledge:
This is how the application works:
-
The surface to be tested is lightly sprayed with water.
-
The Clean Card is rubbed over the surface several times with pressure.
-
The card displays the result within just 30 seconds.
The reaction on the card can be divided into four color levels - from "optimally clean" to "critical/not cleaned". This simple and quick evaluation makes it possible to recognize within a few moments whether a surface is actually hygienically clean or whether it needs to be cleaned again.
Wide range of applications
The Clean Card is suitable for a wide range of applications and is particularly popular where the highest hygiene standards must be maintained. It is particularly useful in the following areas:
-
Catering and hotel industry: In kitchens, on serving trolleys, in guest areas - anywhere where food is handled or guests have direct contact with surfaces.
-
Medicine and care: In hospitals, doctors' surgeries, nursing homes and rehabilitation facilities where infection control is a top priority.
-
Food industry: In production facilities, storage rooms or during the transportation of goods.
-
Kindergartens and schools: places with a high risk of infection, where cleanliness is a particular focus.
-
Households: The Clean Card can also be used as a simple control in the home, for example in the kitchen or bathroom.
Why the Clean Card is convincing
In addition to its ease of use, the Clean Card offers many other advantages that make it a popular tool in the field of hygiene monitoring:
✔ Fast result: A clear result is available in just 30 seconds - this saves time and enables a direct reaction.
✔ No special equipment required: Only water is required - no electricity, no chemicals, no additional equipment.
✔ Environmentally friendly: The Clean Card has a long shelf life and can be disposed of in residual waste in an environmentally friendly manner after use.
✔ Reliable and precise: Even the smallest residues are detected - a real support for hygienic safety.
Responsibility for hygiene - now and in the future
The importance of hygiene will continue beyond the pandemic. Consumers, but also companies, are placing increasing importance on safety and cleanliness - not only out of fear of infection, but also due to a heightened awareness of health and well-being.
The Clean Card helps to put this awareness into practice. It provides objective feedback on the actual hygiene status of an area and therefore offers valuable guidance in everyday life.
Conclusion: cleanliness you can see
Hygiene is more than just a visual impression - it must be measurable and verifiable. The Clean Card is a reliable, fast and uncomplicated tool for doing just that: making cleanliness visible. Whether in sensitive working environments or in private households - the Clean Card provides certainty about the actual cleanliness of surfaces in just a few seconds. A small step with a big impact for better health and safety in everyday life.
