This is Toucan® Eco Worktop
With just water, salt and a small electrical current Toucan Eco 3 creates a powerful multipurpose antibacterial disinfectant cleaner. One that replaces general disinfectant, all-purpose cleaners, kitchen and bathroom cleaners, glass and metal cleaners, and deodorisers. It doesn’t replace strong degreasers and descalers. After seven days, the solution turns back to slightly salty water. Just make more. Simple.
The disinfectant itself is eco-friendly and kind to the planet as it’s 99.999% water and doesn’t contain any nasty chemicals. But it goes even further for the environment as it’s also really effective in eradicating waste. So, no more single-use plastic bottles going into the recycling bin, landfill or the ocean.
It’s also completely safe, virtually odour-free and hypoallergenic to people and animals. Read most cleaning product labels and you’ll find health warnings about being flammable, toxic and about the dangers of touching or breathing in. Ours is safe enough to wash the food you eat, your hands and even your face.
Stringent tests undertaken by EU accredited independent laboratories and university research departments have shown it is more than 99.999% effective against germs with a fast contact time and virtually no regrowth. That’s why it’s already trusted by industries around the world.
Keeping a business premises clean and safe for staff and customers is essential. But why pour money down the drain? Toucan Eco commercial units save over 80% of your chemical spend, plus you save on procurement, storage, transportation and disposal costs. Once installed, the solution is virtually free as it only uses water and salt.
The kit includes the 1 litre jug, activation base, measuring spoon, stirring rod, atomiser spray bottle, and some salt to get you started. The only real cost is the model, after which all you need is tap water and table salt.
Designed for small to medium-sized facilities, Toucan Eco Active produces 10 litres of solution in around 15 minutes.
Toucan Eco Active Plus is designed for medium sized facilities, takes 40 minutes to produce 20 litres of solution, and includes bottle and bucket dilution dispensers.
Toucan Eco Flow is designed for medium to large facilities, and produces a constant flow of solution, including bottle and bucket dilution dispensers.

Toucan Eco lets you make your own multi-surface disinfectant cleaner from just water, salt and electricity that kills more than 99.999% of germs. It’s safe and environmentally-friendly, and replaces 80% of chemical cleaners and the single use plastic bottles they are supplied in.
All you need is a Toucan Eco device, and the consumables of water, salt and electricity. That’s it.
Yes, it does. It’s a proven and effective disinfectant and cleaning solution with a very high kill rate of more than 99.999%, fast contact time and minimal regrowth. The solution is also a mild surfactant, providing clean, smear-free surfaces.
Yes. The Toucan Eco solution has been extensively tested under EN standards by independent accredited laboratories for its efficacy to kill more than 99.99% (log-4) of viruses and has passed suspension test EN 14476, surface test EN 16777 and hand sanitisation test EN14476:2013+A2:2019. These tests demonstrate a high efficacy at low concentrations with fast contact times against viruses, including coronavirus which causes Covid-19.
It’s powerful stuff and tests have proven the activated solution as or more effective than commercial disinfectants that contain lots of harsh chemicals.
It’s revolutionary in the way that it’s truly eco-friendly – and not a small step towards reducing the amount of toxic chemicals through concentrates, tablet form or alternative ingredients which can still be harmful.
And it’s completely safe as it’s based on the same infection fighting substances used in your immune system – that makes it non-toxic and hypoallergenic.
Because, it kills germs, cleans well, smells natural, and is eco-friendly and safe too. You can’t say that about many other chemical cleaners!
But for more information, here’s five reasons why you should. Firstly, it reduces your chemical and plastic use. Secondly, as it’s safe it looks after the cleaner who’s cleaning after you. And it’s also powerful stuff, killing more than 99.99% of germs. Then there’s the fact that it will save you money. And finally, it’s certified for performance to EN 14476, EN 16777, EN 1276 and EN 13697.
The solution created by Toucan Eco is an effective disinfectant and a mild cleaner, so replaces general disinfectant, all-purpose cleaners, kitchen and bathroom cleaners, glass and metal cleaners, and deodorisers. It doesn’t replace strong degreasers and descalers, although it is effective if used on a daily basis.
Yes. it does. In fact, tests prove that the antibacterial properties is as or more effective than synthetic chemicals, while the cleaning agent is gentler.
It’s a combination of the world needing an effective disinfectant that kills viruses, including coronavirus, while also reducing the the huge amounts of waste plastic bottles and packaging in our oceans and landfill, plus the news that the long-term use of cleaning chemicals can have a serious impact on your health. This now means we need to think differently about how we can reduce our impact on the planet.
And Toucan Eco is a new, greener way to clean workplaces that helps one chemical cleaner and plastic bottle at a time.
Absolutely. It reduces your chemical spend by over 80% and once the device has been paid for the cost of producing the solution is minimal. For example, a 10kg bag of salt costs around A$20 and makes 10,000 litres of solution.
The activated solution is certified to EN 1276, EN 13697, EN 14476 and EN 16777 for chemical disinfectants against bacteria and viruses. It is also safe for use in food preparation and high-risk areas. In addition, certification under EN13727 (ESBL) and the VAH scheme (medical grade biocides) demonstrate efficacy in risk areas. Toucan Eco is listed under Article 95 of the EU Biocides regulations.
It’s based on a science that’s been around since 1834. That’s when Michael Faraday published his findings on the principles of electrolysis observing that an electric current passed through a substance produced chemical changes.
Cut to the 1970’s and a Russian scientist called Professor Vitold Bakhir added salt to this process to create a brand-new solution, one that was found to have powerful disinfectant properties. The original concept was to develop a technology that could combat the effects of biological warfare by generating safe and effective biocides, quickly and easily on-site for use on humans, animals, equipment, crops and water supplies.
This technology is trusted by a huge range of industries around the world.
It protects the marine environment, disinfects drinking water, combats Legionella, and is used to safely disinfect and clean in everything from fish processing to carpet cleaning, salad packing to flower cultivation and dairy farming.
Hypochlorous is even used to treat wounds, burns and infections in humans and pets – it’s approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for this.
And it’s also being used as part of Project India to help make the world’s polluted water safe to drink in third world countries and areas of humanitarian disaster.
With developments in technology, smaller devices can now make the solution on demand and onsite. In the UK, more and more companies are now proving you don’t have to use toxic, environmentally-damaging and expensive synthetic chemicals to disinfect and clean workplaces while saving single-use plastic bottles at the same time.
We picked Toucan Eco as we felt, like the brand, that toucans are associated with the natural world – as is hypochlorous acid that’s made from water, salt and electrolysis, but also made by your body’s immune system.
A less important point, but we also thought the useful atomiser spray bottle you receive with the Toucan Eco III looks a little bit like a toucan!.
Certified to EN 14476, EN 16777, EN 1276 and EN 13697, and registered as a EU Biocide.
