FAQ'S





HOW DOES ZOONO WORK?
Our water-based sanitisers add a long-lasting antibacterial protective layer to hands and surfaces. Once dry, Zoono resembles a layer of microscopic pins that attract, pierce and kill pathogens – the same principle as a pin popping a balloon. It is designed to help support routine hand washing and surface cleaning to provide enhanced protection in between.

WHAT ARE THE PRODUCT INGREDIENTS?
Our products are made from 99% deionised water, 1% active ingredient – Quaternary Ammonium Compound. Our products do not contain alcohol or triclosan.

DO I STILL NEED TO WASH MY HANDS?
Yes. Zoono should be used alongside regular hand washing and cleaning routines to help keep pathogens at bay for longer.
HOW DO I APPLY ZOONO AROUND THE HOME?
Zoono can be used on all surfaces in the home. Follow the instructions on the label – use Zoono after your regular cleaning routine on clean, dry surfaces and allow approx. 10 minutes for drying. For commercial / technical applications, industry specific written protocols are recommended and are provided as required. Zoono is designed to be used alongside regular cleaning habits to provide enhanced protection in between.

SHOULD I APPLY HAND SANITISER MORE THAN ONCE PER DAY?
You don’t have to use Zoono Hand Sanitiser more than once a day however it is completely fine to apply more than once a day. Zoono Hand Sanitiser has been proven to remain active on the skin until natural exfoliation occurs and this usually takes 72 hours or so (varies due to factors like exercise, work environment etc). But within high risk environments (Health Care etc), some professionals prefer to use Zoono Hand Sanitiser more frequently.

WILL ZOONO HAND SANITISER DRY MY HANDS OR CAUSE CHAPPED SKIN?

IF I APPLY AN ALCOHOL-BASED SANITISER AFTER ZOONO, WILL IT EFFECT EFFECTIVENESS?
No. Once Zoono has bonded to the skin, it has been proven to remain effective until such time the skin naturally exfoliates. An application of alcohol in the meantime, will not affect Zoono efficacy.
