Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz is the first Eco-certified hotel in Gozo. EcoClearProx® has also been introduced for disinfection of the rooms and public spaces. Such product has been recognized and approved to be used against bacteria or viruses among them the H1N1, H5N1, Legionella, listeria, and MRSA. Kempinski Hotel San Lawrenz was recently awarded for the third consecutive year as Malta’s Leading Spa Resort and as well for the second time in a row the Mediterranean’s Leading Spa Resort by the World Travel awards, the ‘Oscars’ of the travel industry.

EcoClearProx® is the only hydrogen peroxide authorized by the EU to be used in drinking water. It is 100% biodegradeable and is stabilised with a food grade. Other peroxides are mostly stabilised with peracetic acid and silver nitrates. Like chlorine EcoClear Prox is able to kill bacteria but as an added value it is the only biodegradeable product, it is odourless, has no influence on the taste and leaves no residue. Due to the fact that it is a very strong oxidizer you need less product with up to 15 times less EcoClearProx® than the existing disinfection products as chlorine when used as algae that can clog the pipes, and it has an additional benefit removing all bio film into the piping system., the hotel concluded.
