KBF99 Grooming Brushes

KBF99 Antibacterial Brushes

“Bringing Science to the Stable.”

As shared by KBF99® on their website, “The new range of KBF99 products brings a revolution to Horse Health Care. Launched by Vale Brothers, KBF99 products will assist in the prevention of infection and reinfection of these troublesome and painful diseases. Any reduction of harmful bacteria and fungus in the stable environment assists in reducing the chances of the diseases being transmitted from horse to horse.

The KBF99 grooming brushes product range has been developed to help protect and safeguard horses and in some cases humans from contracting these and other conditions. KBF99 has been tested by Coventry University using the standard test for Anti Microbial Activity (ISO 2196 : 2007).

The modern lifestyle of the domestic horse brings us many benefits, however with increased stable time and less grazing, yard and horse owners are faced with new concerns – including infection! Strangles, Ringworm, Mycotoxin and E.Coli are all words which will cause worry for anyone connected with horses.

One of the most popular products manufactured by KBF99® is their anti-bacterial, anti-fungal brush.

Having updated their website in light of the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic, here’s a statement from KBF99®, “This easy to hold anti-bacterial brush has soft short fibres and incorporates the KBF99 additive which is proven to kill over 99.9% of bacteria and 99.6% of fungus without the use of chemicals. The brush can be used wet or dry. The brush fibres are covered in tiny spikes that stab and kill microbes. The technology has been tested at Coventry University against both bacteria and fungus.

Cornell University in the USA have requested samples to test against the coronavirus as there is a chance that it will kill envelope viruses. Updates will be posted once known.

Do not clean the fibres with bleach, hot soapy water is enough and your brush will remain effective indefinitely. The technology kills microbes physically so no chemicals are ever released. Only possible side affect could be dry skin from over brushing.

The brush can also be used on surfaces e.g. door handles. Also excellent for cleaning your hands when away from water sources. Small enough to fit in your pocket or handbag, so ideal for use before entering and when leaving a supermarket for example.”
