Flu Season Calls for Germ Killer!

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
It's a cliché, I know, but flu season is here once again and all of us need to take extra precautions for our family's health.


Enter Germ Killer! Two months ago, I was sent this line of disinfectants from McKenic. We've been using them for over a month now and, to tell you honestly, I'm very satisfied with them.



Germ Killer is a range of powerful water-based disinfectants from Singapore. The different products cater to specific usage, and contain broad spectrum bactericidal and virucidal action that is safe for those who use it.
  • All GK products kill at least 99.9999% of both gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella Choleraesuis)
  • They offers up to 24 hours of protection from harmful bacteria, by preventing bacteria growth on surfaces
  • GK Surface is effective against MRSA (hospital super bug), H1N1 and HFMD
Pretty impressive, don't you think so? They got me at H1N1! =)

Germ Killer says "Germ-Proof Your Personal Space!" I agree!
I know I cannot protect my family from germs and viruses from the outside, but at least we do what we can to clean and sanitize our home. This will also help prevent bacteria and virus from breeding.


GK® Surface
Cleans and disinfects in one single step with it's multi-action formula. Effective against MRSA, H1N1, HFMD (hand-foot-mouth disease)!

We've been using this spray mostly for the bathroom toilet, sink, and often-used work surfaces.

This is my favorite variant. It also works like our regular alcohol, only more powerful.  I want to get that smaller Surface spray too - perfect to bring along wherever we go for instant cleaning and disinfecting, like at public toilets, parks, malls, restos, etc.

GK® Concentrate
Great for everyday disinfecting around the home. It has high dilution rate.

We use the Concentrate for the bathroom tub, tiles, shower room, and kitchen area.  Rinses easily with no residue.  It leaves a faint fresh smell too.

Also great to disinfect kids' and baby's room, and washing toys!

GK® Air
It's not your ordinary air freshener. Air also eliminates odours and improves indoor air quality. We use this spray for the bedrooms, bathrooms, even on upholstered chairs and sofa. I love the green tea scent.

Germ Killer Disinfectant products don't come cheap. But based on their claims, their formulations are indeed more powerful than others.

What I also like about GK products:
  • Formulations are extremely safe on all surfaces -- including fabrics
  • Non-hazardous to end users
  • Safe for daily use
  • Light, fresh scents - does not smell like bleach or strong chemicals
  • Easy and convenient to use
