Black Country business starts exporting to Qatar

A Tipton business has sent its first consignment of eco-friendly disinfectants and cleaning products to Qatar, where they will be sold into the Lulu group of supermarkets that has more than 200 outlets across the region.

LetSanify’s products kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, including Covid-19, E-COLI, MERS and SARS, and are made entirely from natural products, salt and highly filtered water.

The disinfectants and cleaners are entirely safe and can even be sprayed onto food. It also has the advantage of being non-combustible.

HOCL is naturally produced in the body to fight pathogens and was first discovered in the 19th century. It was used by nurses treating soldiers in the First World War, where it was made in small quantities in wards and at bedsides.

But it was not stable enough to be viable for commercial manufacture. However, experts at LetSanify have refined the process so that it now has a shelf life of at least two years. The process involves passing a small electric current through water that has been through an advanced filtration process and mixed with top quality Scottish sea salt.

“We have something that can be a game changer in fighting bugs, whilst at the same time having no environmental downsides,” said Mahmudur Jaigirdar, who founded the business.

“The order from Qatar is the first time the disinfectants and cleaners have been exported, so it’s a big step for the business.”

Customers in the UK include the NHS, a contractor for Transport for London, hotels, schools, and event organisers.
