FIELD GUIDE
Nine high-touch surfaces that ride home with you every day — and the 10 seconds that stop it.

Your AirPods sit in your ear canal eight hours a day. Most people never clean them.
That's just the start. Your sunglasses are on your face every time you step outside. The high-chair tray gets wiped with the same cloth that wiped three other things first.
Here's what 10 seconds with the right bottle handles.
It's counter-intuitive. The 30% water in a 70% bottle slows the alcohol just enough to penetrate a bacterial cell wall and actually kill it. 100% evaporates before it disinfects.
It's the concentration hospitals, commercial kitchens, and labs use. Kills 99.9% of germs — fast.
Three of the most-touched things you own — phone in your pocket all day, AirPods in your ear canal eight hours, the case they live in. Spray a microfibre (not the screen, not the buds), wipe each in turn. Apple, Samsung, and Microsoft all approve 70% IPA. Dries in seconds, leaves no residue.
On your face every day. Sweat, sunscreen, fingerprints. Mist the lenses, wipe with a clean microfibre. No film, no streaks.
The tray your toddler eats off, the dummy that falls on every floor. 10 seconds, flashes off, food-safe on surfaces. Better than the "clean" cloth that wiped three other things first.
The "clean" cloth wiped 30 tables before yours.
50mL is under the 100mL airline carry-on limit. Wipe before you settle in.
The dirtiest object in the room. Wipe it before you put the kids to bed.
Stone, sealed timber, laminate. No streaks, no soapy film, no ammonia reek.
Fingerprints lift off stainless. No blue pooling on the mirror. No film on the glass.
The high-touch inventory of a house. Daily, 10 seconds each.
1L under the sink — months of supply, refill from this. 250mL on the bench — the everyday workhorse. 50mL in the bag — pocket bottle, under the 100mL airline limit.
Same chemistry across all three. Australian Made. Refillable by design.
