Ganko Honpo "Umi e..." Before & After Agent is used for sterilization, deodorization, and mold prevention around laundry.

It is a preventive-type disinfectant that suppresses the growth of bacteria that cause odors and mold.

"Umi e... Before & After Agent" is an innovative preventive disinfectant that works directly on bacteria.

By using it before washing (Before), it prevents the proliferation of bacteria on clothing, and after washing (After), it can be used in the washing machine to inhibit mold growth in the drum.

Since it suppresses the bacteria that cause odors in clothing, it is less likely to develop odors even when air-dried indoors!

The pH is neutral, so it can be used on cotton, linen, synthetic fibers, wool, silk, and other washable fabrics.

Regular use in the washing machine drum after washing creates a coating inside the machine that prevents mold, maintaining its effect over time.

It does not contain alcohol or chlorine.

Because it does not include chlorine (sodium hypochlorite), it is safe for households with children and pets.

The water used for soaking after use can be drained to reduce odors in the drain pipes.

The soaking water after use can also be used for cleaning and disinfecting rooms.

When used for disinfecting the washing machine drum, the cost for one year of weekly use (assuming 60L of water) is less than 2000 yen, making it economical.

★ Because it is a "Before Care," it requires minimal effort and cost.

For example, imagine mold in the bathroom. If you leave small mold spots untreated, they will rapidly grow and spread.

As the roots deepen, it becomes difficult to remove, requiring strong cleaning agents.

If you care for small mold spots early on, you can keep the amount used and cleaning effort minimal.

Similarly, for clothes with sweat or sebum stains, it is easiest and simplest to care for them before bacteria proliferate in the damp state.

Using "Umi e... Before & After Agent" before bacteria start to multiply (Before) allows for preventive action when bacteria are still few, minimizing both effort and amount used, and also suppresses odors.

**Preventive Use**

Care for sweat-soaked clothes from sports gyms or club activities before putting them into your home washing machine—this is a "preventive" opportunity.

The shorter the time clothes stay damp, the more bacteria growth is suppressed.

Preventing bacterial growth also reduces the amount of agent needed.

1. Put water enough to cover clothes or towels in a zippered bag, add a few drops of the agent.

2. Knead the bag from outside to allow the disinfectant to penetrate the fibers.

3. Open the zipper, drain the water, then twist from the bottom to dehydrate.

4. Remove as much air as possible, close the zipper, and wash with other clothes as usual when laundering.
