Feedback from the Medical Field

Our hospital uses AQUAHEART as a means to prevent infection. Ultrasonic atomizers are placed at the entrance hall, reception counter, examination rooms, in front of the nursery room, nurses' stations, and LDR (Labor and Delivery Room). We also use cotton soaked in the AQUAHEART solution to care for newborns.

We also use it on baby bottles and on the teat, which we previously disinfected by dipping them in a sodium hypochlorite solution, but AQUAHEART is effective with simply spraying, so it is easy and convenient to use even at home. It is also effective against various viruses and bacteria, and is non-toxic. Another great point is that AQUAHEART is used not only in medical facilities like ours, but also in various other workplaces. We have not experienced a single case of infection (e.g., influenza) in our hospital, so I believe that it has been quite effective.
I would suggest that AQUAHERAT be used in places where many people live together or gather in groups.

Feedback from a Veterinarian

KEN Animal Hospital,
Director and Veterinarian Kenichi Aoki

At our hospital, we use AQUAHEART as a deodorizer, sanitizer, and for infection prevention. We use the spray to wipe down the kennels and to clean the bodies of dogs and cats that have feces or urine on them.

We use it for initial cleaning of foul-smelling abscesses and for cleaning otitis externa, as it is both surprisingly effective in eliminating odors and hypoallergenic, which is helpful to both our staff and the animals. We have atomizers at the reception counter and in the treatment rooms, and we encourage owners to use them in the outpatient clinic and when dealing with markings and feces at home.

Feedback from a Maternity Hospital

Ever since our hospital opened in 2016, we have been using Slightly Acidic Electrolyzed Water (AQUAHEART) as a measure to prevent infections.

As a maternity care facility where newborn babies and their mothers spend the day, we are very careful about infection control measures. For room sterilization, we use ultrasonic atomizers in all rooms. We use the spray type for baby bottles, teats, toys, and other items that go directly into the mouths of babies. Not only is the Slightly Acidic Electrolyzed Water effective against various viruses and bacteria, it is non-toxic as well! Furthermore, if you bottle feed your baby several times while outside, this is a highly recommended childcare item. As long as you can wash the bottles, disinfection can be completed instantly, wherever you are.

I expect that it will be used not only in maternity hospitals like ours, but also in many other sites of different kinds. Our experience at our hospital is that there has not been a single case of infection (e.g., influenza) within the hospital, so I think it is quite effective.

I would hope that Slightly Acidic Electrolyzed Water would be used more in places where many people gather in large numbers.

According to Prominent Physicians and Experts

ーWhat Doctors have to say about Aquaint

We have asked some top Doctors their views about Aquaint. Below are five questions we asked the experts with their responses.

Q1: Do you see Aquaint as a better alternative to using alcohol based products and/or products containing toxic chemicals?

Dr. Julian Spinks

Yes. It is easy to use and, as someone who gets migraines triggered by smells, I appreciated the lack of chemical or masking after-smells. I also feel that, given the choice between two products that are equally effective but. where one carries less potential risk from chemicals, one should recommend the lower-risk alternative.

Dr. Julian Spinks

Yes, in fact although my Daughter in Law, who has a 9 month old baby, did not previously use alcohol based products, she now takes a little Aquaint spray with her everywhere.

Dr. Julian Spinks

I have no doubt that parents will see Aquaint as a better alternative to using alcohol based products (particularly my Muslim parents) and other products that contain toxic chemicals. Even competitor products like some baby wipes which also claim to be alcohol free and avoid toxic chemicals, do admit to using a preservative called methylparaben [which Aquaint does not].

Dr. Louise R Newson

Definitely.

Dr. Arun Ghosh

Yes my wife already prefers this to the every day house cleaning products we had.

Q2: What advantages do you feel it has?

Dr. Julian Spinks

It has a combination of good antimicrobial cover and activity, ease of use and reduced chemicals, with associated risks and odours.

Dr. Michael Apple

There is no smell, it dries quickly and appears to be non-irritant.

Dr. Jim Lawrie

The main advantage with Aquaint is its safety particularly the suggestion that it is even safe to swallow or spray in the mouth.

Dr. Louise R Newson

With young children and pregnant women the amount of evidence against the use of chemical products and exposure is gathering and this is worrying. This product appears to be breaking new ground in the need to reduce this.

Dr. Arun Ghosh

It appears to be safer, less toxic and odourless which is good. I have three children and my 2 year old likes to “help” clean so she enjoys using it. She often squirts it in her mouth! I also have an AGA and cannot use chemicals on this but I have been using Aquaint and it cleans it up really well. It also appears to clean all my surfaces very well.

Q3: Do you think there is a need for a product like Aquaint?

Dr. Julian Spinks

I do feel that there is a need for a product that can be used in high risk areas where you do not want contamination of food or exposure of children to harsh or toxic chemicals.

Dr. Michael Apple

Yes. For example, my daughter in law sprays toys used by her childminder with Aquaint before letting her daughter use them. She also sprays surfaces at her childminder’s house, at cafés where she takes her baby and she also sprays her baby’s hands if she or the baby has a cold for example. My daughter in law is not obsessional about infections but as a first time mum she just finds it a reassuring thing to do for the baby. Also she is a hairdresser and thinks it is a good idea to spray her own hands after work before handling her baby again.

Dr. Jim Lawrie

I think there is a need for a product like Aquaint although it may be a niche market and a lot of people are used to using baby wipes.

Dr. Louise R Newson

Definitely. Dr. Louise R Newson

Dr. Arun Ghosh

I would like to say yes but I wonder if the larger producers would copy this idea and produce similar products in their own brand range. Dr. Arun Ghosh

Q4: How would you sum it up?

Dr. Julian Spinks

In a world where we are surrounded by increasing numbers of potentially toxic chemicals, Aquaint gives us a way to get the protection we need against toxic chemicals without adding to our exposure to these chemicals.

Dr. Michael Apple

Convenient, discreet, odourless, safe. Dr. Michael Apple

Dr. Jim Lawrie

I would sum this up as a natural sanitising spray for mums and baby’s who are on the move, or at home.

Dr. Louise R Newson

Excellent.

Dr. Arun Ghosh

Excellent product and cleaner - that a chemical conscious home stead would suit.

Additional Professional Quotes

Aquaint is powerful enough to kill 99.9% of bacteria yet remains safe enough for use on infants, including newborn babies. Alcohol-free, it contains low levels of a substance we make in our own bodies to fight bacteria. You can sterilise bottles (and reuse without rinsing), teething rings, dummies, kitchen surfaces, breast pumps and more. Aquaint is even endorsed by Allergy UK as ‘Allergy Friendly’ making it an essential edition for every home.

Dr Sarah Brewer
GP, Registered Nutritionist, Media Medic & Award-Winning Health Writer

Allergy UK are delighted to recognise Aquaint as one of our Allergy Friendly Products. Aquaint is a unique sanitiser that does not use alcohol or other harmful chemicals, and is, therefore, unlikely to cause a reaction in those with allergies and sensitive skin. Aquaint can be safely used on the hands and body, and even on the skin of a new born baby, as well as on surfaces (even those that touch a baby’s mouth) with no need to rinse off.
