Protecta Wash is a pleasantly fragranced liquid washroom hand cleanser which produces a rich foamy lather combined with a gentle cleansing action designed to remove most household soils including dirt, mud, dust and kitchen residues. Protecta Wash contains no solvents and no soap and is pH controlled to match that of the skin, so the skin will not dry out like it can with some hand cleaners. The surfactants contained in Protecta Wash are highly biodegradable and have been selected for their skin compatibility and low skin irritancy. A gentle emollient moisturises the skin. The preservative used in Protecta Wash is of cosmetic grade quality and has been selected for its exceptionally low skin irritancy. All of the preceding features ensure that Protecta Wash provides a high degree of skin compatibility. Protecta Wash can quite safely be used as an all-over body wash, including for the washing of hair. Because Protecta Wash contains no soap, it will leave no trace of soap residue - no dirty hand basins, bathtub rings, scummy tiles or unsightly shower curtains. Unlike some hand cleaners, Protecta Wash does not lose its efficiency in hard water, sea water or bore water.
