Health Care

There are multiple ways to use Goldshield's hand sanitizer (GS24) and wet wipes (GS47) to inhibit germs and bacteria on one's hands (70% of infection starts from bacteria on our hands), and provide a long-term residual protection for hours in a day ... wash, dry and apply.

For details on our GS24 hand/body sanitizer see below

Center for Disease Control and Prevention (USA:"CDC")

In the United States CDC reported in its June 2006 report, ' that "excessive exposure to mold-contaminated materials can cause adverse health effects in susceptible persons regardless of the type of mold or the extent of contamination." When mold spores are present in abnormally high quantities, they can present especially hazardous health risks to humans, including allergic reactions or poisoning by mycotoxins or causing fungal infection (mycosis) regardless of the type of mold.

Molds and Fungi have an affinity to Textiles

For laundry applications … many bacteria cause staining and discoloration on textiles, and odors occur from the growth of fungi such as mold and mildew. So, use GS5 for commercial and at home use to protect textiles from these microbes on bed linens/pillow cases, drapes, fabrics, certain clothes (see label on bottle), and carpets for a continual period (90 days) after just one application, or when staining, odors or discoloration reappear.

For commercial and at home “deep cleaning” … use our first-of-its-kind High Heat Vapor machine. Click here for details.

A “game-changer” coming in 2016 … the discovery that Goldshield's new foot formula can remediate athletes foot by killing the fungi involved. This discovery is being actively pursued based on the success with on-going tests in the U.S. military (see photo at left).

Many people go into a hospital trying to get better but come out worse due to hospital-acquired infections. The CDC attributes 70% of these cases to hand contact. GS24 and GS47 are antiseptic and antimicrobial products that provide, unlike alcohol, residual protection mitigating the risks of immediate contamination. These products are 99.9%-99.99% of disease causing germs and common bacteria.

Goldshield Antimicrobial Agents are approved for Hospital Use:

Uniforms/bedding

GS5 can be applied to textiles and linens in a healthcare setting from sheets and pillow cases to shower and privacy curtains. Often doctor's lab coats are not cleaned frequently enough and a treatment with GS5 would prevent some of the major concerns which are staining, discoloration and odors resulting from nasty bacteria and fungi.

Air Filters

It is vitally important in a healthcare setting to insure the utmost in air quality. GS75 applied to filters is an ideal way to inhibit the same bacteria and fungi that can attach to linens.

Surfaces

Typical disinfectants or inhibitors used in hospitals generally provide no more than 10 minutes to one hour of residual protection. The Goldshield antimicrobial water stable agents provide an invisible barrier that can last up to 90 days with one simple application. That residual component permits these formulas to standalone in the world of antimicrobial and micro-biostatic effectiveness and protection.

Additional uses

In nursing and assisted living facilities, GS5 could be used in the laundry and in clean-up of facilities to help eliminate odors from the environment.
To clean and provide along terms air freshener use Goldshield 85, this products helps eliminate the nasty odors commonly found in these environments.
In the Institutional and Industrial (I&I) sector, Goldshield would have significant application in combating “sick building syndrome” – acute health symptoms caused by microorganisms such as mold, mildew and fungi. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has estimated that 70 million American workers are exposed to office environments where this problem is present.
Additional segments of the healthcare industry where Goldshield technology would find numerous applications include clinics, infirmaries and ambulatory care clinics, as well as veterinary centers.
