MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCT "Add Blue for Life"— Adding Highlight's patented blue color with existing bleach disinfectant wipes, which then fades to clear, improves staff training on disinfecting technique and mitigates surface coverage failures inherent with the transparent application of existing products. Highlight's real-time color visualization has been reported in independent studies and whitepapers to consistently show an increase in thoroughness of cleaning, as well as better training when Highlight is added, including a noticeable improvement in ATP scores for hospitals.
