Keep the Hospitality Industry Hospitable with Stepan’s Disinfectants and Sanitizers

November 7, 2022

Travel and entertainment plus flu and cold season are not an ideal mix. Fortunately, Stepan Company’s disinfectants and sanitizers are here to help make things a little less hairy for the restaurant and hospitality industries.

Cleaning and disinfection in public settings such as restaurants, hotels, airports and event venues remain an important part of hospitality hygiene plans. With viral outbreaks continuing to make headlines and the ever-present nature of potentially harmful bacteria, selecting the right disinfectant or sanitizer is a critical step in maintaining public health and safety. Owners and operators of these spaces must be properly equipped to fight against bacteria — including those resistant to antibiotics — viruses and even some pathogenic fungi that may cause human health hazards.

Stepan offers a broad portfolio of antimicrobial, disinfectant formulations approved by the U.S. EPA for a variety of end-use site and applications.

The end-use formulations highlighted below are a few of our disinfectants and sanitizers suited for applications in the restaurant and hospitality industries.
