Whoosh! launches tech hygiene range in Australia for safer screens
WHOOSH! Tech Hygiene has announced the launch of its screen-cleaning products in Australia.
The cleaning solution, formulated and produced in Canada, is now available for Australian consumers and aims to address the growing concern about bacteria present on the devices people use every day, such as smartphones, tablets, and televisions.
Device hygiene concerns
Research indicates that Australians check their mobile phones on average more than 100 times a day, yet device screens are often overlooked when it comes to regular hygiene. Studies have shown that mobile phones can host more bacteria than toilet seats, presenting potential health and wellness risks as devices are regularly handled at home, work, gyms, public transport, and other communal environments.
Dr Lotti Tajouri, Associate Professor in Molecular Biology at Murdoch University, highlighted the implications of neglecting device cleaning.
"Our research shows that smartphones and tablets are a dynamic microbial breeding ground. Products that make device hygiene simple and safe can play a role in reducing everyday exposure."
Product features
WHOOSH! products use a non-toxic and alcohol-free formula designed to be safe for people, pets, and the environment. The solution is compatible with a wide range of devices, including the latest smartphones and tablets, as well as televisions and car touchscreens. According to the company, the cleaner not only removes grease, grime and bacteria but also leaves behind an invisible coating that helps resist fingerprints and smudges, providing a streak-free shine with no residue.
Allan Dall, Chief Executive Officer of WHOOSH! Australia, commented on the motivation behind the product's introduction to the Australian market.
"Mobile phones have become an extension of ourselves, but they are also one of the dirtiest things we touch without thinking. We're thrilled to launch WHOOSH! in Australia to give people here a safe, effective and convenient way to clean their digital devices without harsh chemicals. It's a simple step towards better hygiene and healthier habits."
International use and availability
The WHOOSH! cleaning solution has found popularity in North America and Europe, where it is reportedly used in Apple stores to maintain the cleanliness of their demonstration devices. The product has received recognition for its safety and has collected several awards in those markets.
Australian availability includes a variety of pack sizes, from small portable sprays intended for personal and on-the-go use, to larger configurations suited for homes, offices, schools, hospitality venues and fitness spaces. The products can be purchased via Amazon Australia and the WHOOSH! Australia distributor.
Speaking further, Allan Dall stated, "Mobile phones have become an extension of ourselves, but they are also one of the dirtiest things we touch without thinking, with many taking them to the bathroom. We're thrilled to launch WHOOSH! in Australia, giving Australians a safe, effective and convenient way to hygienically clean digital devices. This means that anything with a touchscreen, like phones, tablets, computers, even that touchscreen in your car, can be safely cleaned without harsh chemicals that damage those delicate screens and coatings. WHOOSH! tech hygiene comes in a range of convenient sizes, from pocket-friendly sprays to carry around to family or workplace packs , which is perfect for homes, offices, schools, restaurants, gyms, hotels, workplaces and for on-the-go use. It's a simple step towards better hygiene and healthier habits for everyone."
The launch of WHOOSH! in Australia gives consumers access to cleaning products specifically aimed at reducing the level of bacteria on digital devices, with an emphasis on safety for both users and devices.
