The indication of an expiry date on the packaging or bottle of hand sanitiser is required by law. Borer Chemie as manufacturer guarantees the effectiveness and safe use of our decosept® products during their shelf life. After the expiry date, the effectiveness of the disinfectant may decrease. There is a possibility that bacteria and viruses are no longer effectively killed and inactivated. The consistency of the product may also change after the expiry date, which means that adequate protection is no longer guaranteed.
The expiry date of hand sanitisers depends on various factors:
Hand sanitiser should be stored in a cool, dry place and protected from direct sunlight.
If the expiry date has passed, this does not automatically mean that the disinfectant is harmful. However, the effect can no longer be guaranteed by the manufacturer. The use of expired hand sanitiser is prohibited in the healthcare sector. You should also be careful in the private sphere. It is advisable to use the product only within the specified time frame to ensure the best possible hygiene and infection prevention.
Remember to observe the expiry date on the container and renew your hand sanitiser in good time.
