These just appeared as back in stock on Amazon, limited to 2 per customer.
Have the 15 pack which is good for going out, whereas these would be good to have in the house.

Probably won't last too long so grab them if you need.

EDIT: There's a review on their about expiry dates, I recieved a delivery of the 15 pack today and they are exiring in Feb 2022 so hopefully these will have a lengthy expiry date.

    And yet another price gouge for something with active ingredient that is not particularly effective against coronavirus.

    https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019567012…

    ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
    Benzalkonium Chloride 0.1 w/w.
    INGREDIENTS
    Aqua, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 80, Sodium Benzoate, Caprylyl Glycol, Parfum, Lactic Acid, Benzalkonium Chloride, Tetrasodium EDTA.

    Better with soap and water or alcohol spray/wipe (minimum 70% alcohol).

    • Kinda feel like this is symptomatic of everything that's going on. Reacting in all sorts of ways that aren't overly helpful. Thinking you're doing something that's helping, but when it's not, is arguably worse than doing nothing.

        Which means these RRP amazon deals should disappear…

        • +2

          The RRP of the sold out link is $8.99. The Amazon deal I posted was for $7.49 which is cheaper than the RRP therefore a deal.

            @Shads: So, you're saying ANYTHING below RRP is a deal?

            Right…

            • @Lord Fart Bucket: This wasn't a deal for you because it was 54 cents more expensive? The store you had doesn't have any stock, so regardless if they are cheaper, the 'deal' is unobtainable.

              Also, I'm in Victoria so unless I'm buying $149 worth of products and it weighs less than 3kgs I need to add $9.95 for shipping.

  • These are cheaper and usually half price foe $5 with more wipes at coles and woolies.

    • Won't be half price in the current climate.

  • Well if water is listed first ingredient then it will be always less than 50% alcohol base if it contains any at all, making them ineffective against virus. Good for dealing with bacteria, but bacteria is not the thing getting us worried.

  • viraclean (Whiteley Corporation) is the first surface cleaner in australia to have an approved label claim for killing sars-cov-2.

    its active ingredient is 0.4255% benzalkonium chloride (afaict).

    Viraclean is first Australian disinfectant that legally claims to kill COVID-19

    alcohol isn't the only thing that is effective against viruses.

    • According to the article you linked to

      The product is currently only available to health care facilities, hospitals and some airlines.

      Alcohol is not the only thing, but given coronavirus has a lipid (fat) envelope, you need something that is effective in penetrating, or a least deactivating, the envelope. Alcohol (at the right concentration) is very effective in doing that, plus simple to source and mix to the right concentration.

      There are many different studies on benzalkonium chloride, with some using other coronavirus strains in other species to extrapolate effectiveness against COVID-19 (SARS-CoV2). Most actually show activity against a range of viruses occurs at lower concentrations (0.02 - 0.05%), with this article suggesting that at 0.5% (close to what is in this product 0.43%) it does not reduce viral load at all after 10 minutes.
      https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S019567012…

      The CEO of the company that makes this product states "Its ability to kill coronavirus was proven after successful lab testing using surrogate viruses."

      The TGA might now have approved the label, but 1) "The product is currently only available to health care facilities, hospitals and some airlines."; 2) I would want to know what those surrogate viruses are before placing my trust in the test; and 3) we don't have any information on what final concentration of their product they are making those claims for and how long it needs to be applied for effect.

      The main point here is that something labelled "disinfectant" or "anti-bacterial" does not give any indication of effect against viruses, particularly when you don't have definitive data on the active ingredient, it's effective concentration and most importantly the final working concentration the end-user will use it at.

      The misunderstanding about the terms "disinfectant" and "anti-bacterial" has only resulted in a false sense of security in buying those products, plus furnished much price gouging and panic buying.

      Industrial alcohol is relatively cheap and is simple to mix at the right concentration for a known effect against coronavirus and most other microbes.

      There is so much misinformation and charlatans trying to profit from it, that simple messages with cut through are the most appropriate for now.

      Alcohol at a final concentration above 75% is effective against coronavirus.

      Hand washing with soap and water is effective against coronavirus.

      Bacteria are not viruses, so "anti-bacterial" does not tell you anything about effect against coronavirus.

      N.B. Just like effective concentrations for other active ingredients, alcohol needs to be used at the right concentration too - more does not necessarily mean better. It's thought that 100% alcohol is not effective against most microbes for two reasons: it evaporates quickly and does not linger long enough to neutralise or kill the microbes; and you need some water to allow the alcohol to penetrate that which it is trying to kill off. Fortunately, it is unlikely any consumer level product would come above 95% concentration, which according to the article above is still effective against coronavirus within 30 secs. However, you pretty much get the same effect from 75%, so in these times of scarcity, why not dilute it a bit to make it last longer.

      • This is by far the the most measured and clear explanation on this subject that I have seen, plus the study you link to is interesting aswell.
