silky soft® antibacterial hand sanitizer
Why Silky-Soft®?  Silky-Soft® is a patented sanitizing soap and body wash that kills a broad spectrum of germs (bacteria and other microbes) including Flu, Coronavirus and Norovirus, extremely rapidly. Silky-Soft® is not just antibacterial soap. Where antibacterial soaps do not kill bacteria in short time (20-30 seconds) during hand washing, Silky-Soft® kills millions of bacteria and viruses.  It maintains its efficacy even after you dilute it with water while washing hands. Antibacterial property of many products diminishes once they are diluted with water. Silky-Soft® can be used with or without water. How does washing hands maintain good hygiene?  Washing hands is one of the most important steps in preventing spread of germs. Germs attach to hands when we touch any contaminated object. Contaminated hands become vehicles for germs to enter the body. Can washing with water remove germs from the skin? Washing hands with tap water can help to remove salts and water-soluble compounds. However, most often dirt contains oily residues that repel water. Germs trapped in oily dirt cannot be washed with just water. How good is washing hands with plain soap and water?  Use of soap and water is good hygienic practice to clean hands. Detergent action of soap washes oily residues. Washing hands with soap may still leave a large population of bacteria on the skin. Sometimes the soap itself may be contaminated with bacteria. That is why some type of soaps have antibacterial chemicals. How good is antibacterial soap for killing germs on hands?  Antibacterial chemicals in soap ensure that the soap does not support growth of bacteria. Antibacterial chemicals kill bacteria slowly. Thus, the antibacterial soap acts like ordinary hand soap during a brief period of hand washing. Antibacterial soap may leave residue of antibacterial chemicals on the skin that may prevent future buildup of bacteria on skin.  Antibacterial residues on skin may change the natural bacterial population on the skin. Some experts believe that it is not desirable to change the natural bacterial population of skin. Some antibacterial chemicals in hand soaps are also toxic. Silky-Soft Hand and Body Wash made from USDA and FDA approved food grade ingredients does not contain toxic antibacterial chemicals. Why health care personnel use sanitizing instead of antibacterial soap?  Sanitizing soap kills germs rapidly during brief duration of hand washing. In addition to its rapid germ-killing action, a sanitizing soap also has the cleaning power of ordinary soap. This results in most efficient hand cleaning process and ensures much needed safety margin in dealing with patients or contaminated material. What are sanitizing hand soaps?  Sanitizing soaps containing chlorohexidine gluconate are used by surgeons and are available only by prescription. These also leave antibacterial residue on skin. Sanitizing iodophor hand soaps are used in food plants. These may have drawbacks of leaving iodine stains. Silky-Soft® brand hand soaps rapidly kill germs. Silky-Soft® sanitizing soaps do not stain and are not likely to leave residue to alter normal bacterial population of the skin.  Is SILKY-SOFT® effective against Coronavirus?  SILKY-SOFT® is fast acting and 99.99% effective against COVID 19 (Coronavirus), E coli, Staphylococcus, MRSA, & VRE.

DENTOAL® Mint Oil Mouthwash

dentoal® mint oil mouthwash
Why DENTORAL® Mint Mouthwash? Mint Oil has been used since millennia as treatment for common cold, stomach pain, as well as carminative, breath freshener, insect repellant, aromatherapy, and many other uses. Mint oil is less soluble in water. Often it is used with alcohol to prepare mouthwash. With our patented technology we have made instantly water-soluble mint mouthwash. We combined healthful properties of mint oil with microbicidal properties to make alcohol free mouthwash with high efficacy of killing a broad spectrum of bacteria. DENTORAL® natural mint oil mouthwash is refreshing and soothing way to clean your mouth. It is very gentle and is well tolerated by children and adults alike. Why do you need a mouthwash? Mouth harbors millions of bacteria on the tongue, cheek and teeth. A gram of dental plaque can harbor a billion bacteria. These bacteria multiply by using nutrients in food particles, cell debris and secretions in mouth. Large bacterial population can result in bad breath, gingivitis, plaque, cavities and gum disease. A clean mouth has fewer nutrients for bacterial growth. Mouthwash in combination with brushing, flossing and cleaning of tongue can help to clean the mouth. Is brushing not enough to clean the mouth? Brushing does mechanical cleaning of teeth. Brushing does not reach every point in the mouth where most of the bacteria are attached. Mouthwash can reach practically every surface area in the oral cavity. How does mouthwash clean the oral cavity? DENTORAL® mouthwash has dual action. A detergent component helps dislodge food particles and cell debris by mechanical force of gargling or swishing. It dilutes and washes away oral secretions. The microbicidal property helps to reduce bacterial population. Can mouthwash eliminate all the bacteria in the mouth? Mouthwash does not eliminate all the bacterial population in mouth. DENTORAL® mouthwash reduces the bacterial population to a very low level to maintain better oral hygiene. How to select a good mouthwash? A good mouthwash should be safe and effective. It should not contain any toxic ingredient. At the same time it should have a high microbicidal activity. It should rapidly kill a broad range of bacteria within the short duration of use. It should have pleasant taste and flavor. Even children should be able to use mouthwash, as they are most vulnerable to tooth decay. How often should I use mouthwash? Ideally after every major meal one should use mouthwash. However, this is not always possible. One must use mouthwash at least before and after brushing both in the morning and at bedtime. Just brushing without using mouthwash, the bacteria present on teeth, may get inserted under the gum line. After brushing the bacterial population is exposed from the bio-film on teeth, DENTORAL® mouthwash can eliminate these bacteria. That is why it is recommended the use mouthwash before and after brushing.
DENTOAL® Clove Oil Mouthwash

It is a natural analgaesic and antiseptic used primarily in dentistry for its main ingredient eugenol. Pure clove pil has strong stinging property.
