3M has unveiled the 3M™ MBS Disinfectant Cleaner Concentrates, concentrated one-step disinfectants with a five-minute contact time, the company said.

In addition to the main disinfectant concentrate, buyers also can choose the the 3M™ MBS Disinfectant Cleaner Fresh Scent Concentrate.

Other disinfectants require a contact time of 10 minutes, which can delay cleaning staff from doing their tasks, executives noted. Other features include an alkaline pH for cleaning, a low odor/dye-free option and flexible applications. The concentrates are meant to battle norovirus, MRSA, VRE, Hepatitis B & C, Acinetobacter baumannii and Influenza A Virus.

They are used by thoroughly wetting surfaces with a cloth, mop, sponge, sprayer, or by immersion.
