How Can a Disinfectant Be Less Toxic Than Vinegar And Still Kill Germs?
In nature, plants produce germ-killing ‘essential oils’ to protect themselves from invading microbes, similar to how our bodies produce antibodies for our protection against disease. Benefect is a revolutionary blend of these antimicrobial extracts, from botanical essential oils. Traditional synthetic disinfectants use quaternary ammonia or chlorine to kill germs, however, using the essential oils from plants allows Benefect to achieve an unprecedented safety rating. To put it simply, Benefect is a ‘plant immune system’ in a bottle.
