Comparing The Bactericidal Efficiency Of Domestic Cleaning Products

The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effects of various household products may have on bacterial growth. The bacteria that was chosen as a test subject is Micrococcus luteus, which is generally considered a harmless bacterium unless the host has a weakened immune system. Among the household products that a set of groups will test are common cleaning and disinfecting products such as rubbing alcohol, Betadine, Germ-X, Neosporin, liquid hand soap, and Lysol cleaner. In the experiment, the bacterium, Micrococcus luteus, is to be swabbed and grown in a Petri dish divided into four sections with agar in each. After that, a small circle of thin paper is soaked in the four household items. Then, a piece of parafilm

9. After the 48 hour time period the inhibition of the Escherichia coli bacteria around the disinfectant disks was measured. A ruler was used to measure the clearing from the edge of the disk to the perimeter of the clearing. Irregularities in the clearing were not included in the area of clearing.

AIM – The aim of the experiment is to determine the relative effectiveness of several anti-microbial substances on developing pathogens. (E. coli)

With viruses, bacteria, and other germs growing and residing on everyday objects, it is no wonder why we see so many hand sanitizing dispensers located in in areas where there is a high-density of humans. From dining halls, to supermarkets, to hospitals and airports one can find hand sanitizer almost anywhere. There is a need and desire for a product that can instantly clean hands, kill microorganisms, and viruses without the aid of soap and water. A product such as this is greatly needed because bacteria and other microorganisms grow and develop at such rapid and accelerated rates. Purell is one of the leading hand sanitizing products with claims of eliminating almost all germs. Among the other countless hand sanitizer brands on the

The aim of this experiment was to observe the effect different concentrations of Dettol had on the growth of S. albus. The highest concentration of Dettol (100% - D) was predicted to be the most effective solution to kill and stop the growth of this particular bacteria. This can be justified as S. albus is gram-positive; easier bacteria to kill, developing resistance slower than a gram-negative. Therefore, the highest concentration of antibiotic should be – and was – the most successful in changing the pH levels, and killing S. albus. Through discussion and analysis of the results collected through the experiment, it can be concluded that there is higher chance of killing and the growth of this particular bacteria if 100% Dettol is used.

Germs are everywhere around us like in the air, water, soil, food, and on all the surfaces of things we touch. We all know germs can make a person sick and cause diseases. The easiest and most effective way of preventing germs from spreading is to simply wash hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer. The topic of my experiment is to determine if gel hand sanitizers really work, and which brand of hand sanitizer (Purell, Bath and Body Works or Up and Up brand) is most effective in killing germs. The purpose of this investigation is to determine which hand sanitizer gel kills the most germs so I know which brand to buy and use. The hypothesis is that Purell hand sanitizer will be most effective in killing germs because the doctors’

Average American families spend $1,300 a year combined on cleaning and personal hygiene products (Cetawayo). This provides a measurable magnitude of the amount used throughout the world. Products such as soaps, liquid detergents, lotions, deodorants, toothpaste and others contain a harmful chemical know as Triclosan. This is an ingredient that reduces or claims to prevent bacterial contamination and is found in most leading antibacterial consumer goods. The general public has fallen victim to believing that this chemical is safe to use in normal everyday application, however, research is starting to prove otherwise. Environmental impacts on land and waterways could also prove to affect the toxicity levels in animals, plants and even the youth of the nation. While Triclosan has been utilized for many years, researchers are finally undergoing studies showing that these products are not safe to use. Caution should be exercised when making choices on what to use to effectively clean hands, brush teeth, clean windows, and wash hair.

In our experiment, our goal was to provide data to show whether soaps with triclosan were more effective at removing bacterial colonies than soaps without it. Tests were done on two people of the group with each individual soap provided while one other person functioned as the control for the experiment by not washing their hands at all. By doing this, you are able to compare what natural, unwashed hands look like in relation to the two types of soaps used on our two other subjects (one of which contains triclosan). We hypothesized that hand soap with triclosan is more effective at eliminating bacteria as compared to regular hand

The data above proves both our hypothesis and prediction wrong. We hypothesized that the lemon green tea would inhibit the growth of bacteria more than green tea. This is because along with having catechins from the green tea, which interfere with bacterial membrane processes, the lemon green tea had flavonoids from the lemon, which alter enzyme activity, and a low pH, inhibiting acid tolerance and the formation of bacterial biofilm. In both of tests, the green tea solution created a larger zone of inhibition than the green tea with lemon, which is why our hypothesis was wrong. The water was our negative control, so it created no zone of inhibition and the beach was our positive control, so it always had a zone of inhibition. From the both

This is an Extended Experimental Investigation on a bacterial outbreak in a workplace. The key ideas and concept, is based around health and disease with the prevention of bacteria being the key purpose. The intention of the EEI is to develop a scenario which can be modified to demonstrate and test different variables, these variables include, water, soap, anti-bacterial soap and Dettol’s effect on the chosen bacterial outbreak. The chosen bacteria is, Staphylococcus Epidermidis and its effect in an aeroplane scenario. Once the experiment is conducted the results will be used to confirm the hypothesis, answer significant questions and examine various theories and principals involved in the scenario.

Investigating the Effect of Different Teeth Cleaning Agents on the Growth of Bacteria On account of the price and variety of tooth cleaning agents available on the market, an investigation was conducted into the effect of different tooth cleaning agents containing different ingredients on the growth of teeth bacteria. The tooth cleaning agents tested were Colgate total antibacterial toothpaste with Triclosan (3 pence/ml), Boots non fluoride toothpaste (less than a penny/ml), Dental care baking soda toothpaste (2 pence/ml) and a twig from a natural toothbrush tree Salvadora persica commonly known as ‘Muswak’ (30 pence for two weeks supply, toothbrush not required as twig carries out the function of a toothbrush). Gingivitis (inflammation

We also stand for user-friendly products that do not harm the environment. We do not just sell products. We offer basic information that helps people to keep healthy and happy. Training and education are crucially important. During active periods when flu is spread, cleaning and disinfecting hands with special gels helps to prevent us from falling ill. In addition to visiting health care institutions, Chemi-Pharm employees go to kindergartens and schools to teach and show with the help of a special machine how dirty hands remain when they are just briefly rinsed with water. We give meaning to this basic everyday procedure. Chemi-Pharm provides partners with adhesive hand cleansing guides and custom-made disinfection plans. Both services are highly appreciated and widely used. Our products and training system are user-centered, and we are always aiming for new innovative

The major point of difference for the Activeion portable handheld cleaning and sanitizing device is the different ways that it could benefit business users and households. Business users would enjoy this product because it meets the demand for being “green” or environmentally friendly. For a business to quote themselves as not using harsh chemicals to clean their building, it will attract a new market of environmentally friendly people as well as promote a healthier society. Business users would also enjoy it because the product is durable and will last a long time. Water is cheap and the benefits of the product will please the company. Households would enjoy this product because it completely clears the cleaning supply cabinet in every home. Households could clean the bathroom, kitchen, bedrooms, carpet, or anything around the home with simple tap water, and remove the use of child-proof locks. The fact that the device is safe around children is a very good selling point in regards of households.

As reported by the Director of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Dr. John Howard, the challenge of industrial hygiene is always to ensure the safety of workers. However, changing technologies and times cause new challenges in workplace safety. Howard claims that “future industrial hygienists will be asked to solve problems of broader and deeper scope” (Rutkowski, p. 1). This is due to new manufacturing technologies like 3-D printing, sensor technologies and robotics. With advances in machinery and kinds of machines, Howard says this will cause a radical shift for industrial hygienists.
