The Skin and Surface Sanitiser Spray is also fragrance-free so there’s nothing in it to irritate skin and the non-sting formula means it can be used even on sensitive skin, including around the eyes, nose, ears and mouth.

How to use the antiviral spray

1. On the skin – Spray liberally and allow to dry.

2. Hard Surfaces – spray and wipe away organic debris from the surface, to sanitise, spray again allowing a contact time of at least 5 minutes before wiping away with a clean cloth. Babies’ soothers, toys and food preparation areas should be rinsed with water before use.

3. Soft Furnishings and Garments – spray onto the fabric and leave to dry. It may leave a white powder, but this will not harm fabric, and can be easily vacuumed away, although not suitable for more delicate fabrics such as silk.

4. Spritz fruit and vegetables – spray liberally onto the skin of the produce, leave for at least 5 minutes and then rinse with clean water before preparing.

While the solution cleans it also deodorises, eliminating odours caused by bacteria. Another winning credential to win favour for cleaning busy households.

‘We think this exceptional all-round sanitiser will become a household essential, ideal for so many items around the home – from unpacking groceries in the kitchen to making sure baby’s soothers are germ-free' Lisa Meth-Cohn, Lakeland’s Buyer.

'It is perfect for sanitising shoes, bags, clothes and hands when entering the home after shopping trips, days out, or commuting on the bus, tube or train. it is also available in a handy travel-sized On-the-Go version.’
