SANAPUR VS CORONAVIRUS (Covid-19) 4) CLEANING AND SANITIZATION WITH "SANAPUR" The cleansing action of Sanapur is 300 times more powerful than that of sodium hypochlorite. Sanapur is indicated in the prevention of Norovirus, Coronavirus (Covid-19), Legionella and a wide range of bacteria, parasites, spores and fungi. It eliminates any pathogen. Sanapur respects the environment because it is composed of metastable molecules that dissolve quickly after use. The residues are essentially water and salt, therefore: it has no harmful effect on people and the environment; it has a neutral pH and is not corrosive; it is 100% biodegradable. PLEASE NOTICE At home, as you can seen in the pictures, there are hunting trophies. They were hunted in Africa forty years ago by my ex-father-in-law and his friend Ernest Hemingway. The trophies, hunted i in compliance with the rules of the place, represent for me a very strong emotional bond, despite the fact that I am against hunting.
