When it comes to cleaning products, there are often several options that do the same job, but with slight differences that might make one your personal favourite. Whether it’s fragrance, convenience, or formulation, choosing the right product comes down to what works best for you. Let’s explore some popular, very similar products and discover what sets them apart.
Steritec Perfumed Virucidal Cleaner VS Steritec (Non-Perfumed) Virucidal Cleaner

Both our Steritec Perfumed Virucidal Cleaner and Steritec Virucidal Cleaner are designed to eliminate 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and yeasts on hard surfaces in just
60 seconds. So what’s the difference?
Perfumed Virucidal Cleaner disinfects with a refreshing eucalyptus fragrance which is perfect for creating a clean and relaxing atmosphere.
Non-Perfumed Virucidal Cleaner is fragrance-free, making it ideal for food preparation areas where scent could interfere with food aromas.
Dishwasher Tablets VS Dishwasher Powder

Both options effectively clean crockery, glassware, and utensils, but the difference lies in convenience and dosing.
Dishwasher Tablets are pre-measured, mess-free, and ready to use, making them perfect for quick and simple cleaning. Suitable for domestic washing machines.
Dishwasher Powder works just as effectively however can be increased or amended depending on the level of soiling.
Bio Laundry Detergent VS Non-Bio Laundry Detergent

Both options deliver fresh, clean laundry, but they work slightly differently:
Bio Laundry Detergent contains enzymes that break down stains and dirt, even at low temperatures (as low as 30°C), with a fresh and invigorating fragrance.
Non-Bio Laundry Detergent uses surfactants instead of enzymes, making it gentle on sensitive skin. For optimal results, you may need to use higher temperatures or pair it with additional boosters like our Alkaline Booster or Laundry Oil Emulsifier.
Alcohol Hand Sanitizer VS Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer

Hand sanitisers are essential for killing bacteria and enveloped viruses, but the choice often comes down to formulation and personal needs.
Alcohol-Free Hand Sanitizer is non-tainting, odourless, and halal-approved which means it's perfect for frequent use without drying out the skin.
70% Alcohol Hand Sanitizing Gel is viscous, non-tacky, and highly effective. Both sanitisers kill 99.999% of bacteria and 99.99% of enveloped viruses, ensuring clean hands on the go.
At the end of the day, the main difference between these products is personal preference - whether it’s the fragrance, convenience, or formulation that suits your needs. Whichever you choose, you can trust that each product is formulated to deliver high-quality results.
