What Is the Difference Between Sanitising and Disinfecting The Science Behind Sanitising

What Is the Difference Between Sanitising and Disinfecting: The Science Behind Sanitising

In the battle against germs and contaminants, our first line of defence is often the simplest: cleaning. But when it comes to ensuring the safety and cleanliness of our environments, the terms “cleaning,” “sanitising,” and “disinfecting” are frequently used interchangeably, causing confusion about their true purposes and effectiveness. So, to answer the question ‘What is the difference between sanitising and disinfecting?’, you must first understand the distinctions among these processes: cleaning, the initial step in the hygiene hierarchy, rids surfaces

Pitting Corrosion An In-Depth Analysis

Pitting Corrosion: An In-Depth Analysis

What is Pitting Corrosion? Pitting corrosion is a specific type of corrosion that creates cavities or “holes” within a material. It is more perilous than uniform corrosion because it’s challenging to detect, predict, and safeguard against. Corrosion products frequently conceal these pits, and even a small, narrow pit with minimal metal loss can trigger failure in an entire engineering system. Pitting corrosion, a common factor in various localised corrosion attacks, can manifest in diverse shapes. These pits may appear open

Crevice Corrosion: An In-Depth Analysis

Numerous types of corrosion manifest visibly through extensive deterioration and discolouration. However, crevice corrosion initiates from a minute surface area and swiftly expands out of view within the metal, concealed beneath insulation or within tanks and vessels, resulting in potential component or structural failure without adequate warning. Thankfully, the origins of crevice corrosion are thoroughly understood. This guide not only explains the factors that promote this particular corrosion but also offers preventive measures, making risk mitigation a straightforward process. Also

Endocrine Disruptors in Cleaning Products

Cleaning products often contain harmful chemicals, including endocrine disruptors, which can adversely affect your health. When you clean your spaces, it’s not only about aesthetics but also about maintaining hygiene and safeguarding your well-being. It would be unfortunate if the products you rely on for cleanliness end up compromising your health. This article will provide guidance on how to address this concern.

Hidden Hazards: Allergens in Cleaning Products

Asthma guidelines recommend consistent cleaning, but many products contain irritants and allergens, worsening symptoms, including in sensitive individuals. These chemicals can also lead to health issues like cancer and infertility. The WHO states that asthma affects 235 million people globally, primarily children. Additionally, a 2007 study involving 10 countries and 3,500 participants found a 30-50% higher asthma risk in those who used home spray cleaners weekly. In this article, we explore the various allergens found in cleaning products, their associated health consequences,

Galvanic Corrosion: An In-Depth Analysis

What is Galvanic Corrosion? Galvanic corrosion, a relentless adversary in the world of materials and engineering, emerges as a formidable challenge when the wrong choice of metals collides. Many would find it appropriate to secure aluminium components in place with copper alloy bolts. But as is evident in the image above a white area surrounding the central copper alloy bolt appears on the adjacent aluminium. In addition, steel bolts, when improperly matched with bronze plaques, also succumb to galvanic corrosion,

aircraft corrosion 11 areas prone to corrosion

Aircraft Corrosion: 11 Areas Prone to Corrosion

In a previous article, we elaborated on the 11 distinct types of corrosion. If you’ve gone through that piece, you should now be able to differentiate between these forms. However, a question that may linger in your mind is, “Within a large apparatus like an aeroplane, where is corrosion most likely to manifest?” To address this query, this article will explore the top 10 regions susceptible to corrosion. These specific areas prone to aircraft corrosion require more frequent cleaning, inspection,

ways to improve indoor air quality with cleaning and hygiene

Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality With Cleaning and Hygiene

In the wake of evolving guidelines from esteemed organisations like the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and government agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO), a fundamental question emerges: How does cleaning impact indoor air quality (IAQ) and how can we improve indoor air quality? Surprisingly, the answer to this question might not be as apparent as one would assume. As we find ourselves on the

Types of Aircraft Corrosion

Types of Corrosion in Aircraft: Aviation MRO

Corrosion poses a significant threat to the integrity and safety of metal structures, particularly in critical applications like aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO). Understanding corrosion forms is essential for MRO professionals, as it enables them to implement adequate preventive measures and inspection protocols, ensuring the longevity, safety, and reliability of aircraft components, where various types of corrosion in aircraft can be a significant threat to the integrity and safety of metal structures. This article explores the various manifestations of
