Agar Tango Hospital-Grade Disinfectant & Antibacterial Detergent 5L‑20L ‑ Fruity-Floral Germicidal Cleaner

What Is Agar Tango?

Agar Tango brings germ-killing activity, cleaning strength and a perfumed deodorising effect together in a single hospital-grade disinfectant. It can be used on all hard surfaces, leaving them disinfected, clean and perfumed with a long-lasting fruity-floral fragrance.

Tango has passed the TGA test for Hospital Grade Disinfectants (Option A) at a dilution of 1:10 against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris and Staphylococcus aureus. It is not ARTG-listed, as it makes no specific named-pathogen kill claims ‑ the hospital-grade descriptor comes from passing this TGA laboratory test method rather than from a therapeutic goods registration.

Key Benefits of Agar Tango

• Hospital-grade disinfectant at a 1:10 dilution for heavy soil and higher-risk areas
• Commercial-grade disinfectant at a 1:50 dilution for low to medium soil general cleaning
• Tango breaks down odours chemically at their source instead of covering them up
• Strong floral and fruity essential oils that cling to surfaces and reodorise throughout the day
• Combines germicidal activity, cleaning power and deodorising action in one product

How Does Agar Tango Work?

Its strong cleaning action and fresh scent mean surfaces are left disinfected and clean, with a floral-fruit fragrance that lingers for a long time. It attacks and breaks down dirt, kills germs and destroys odours at the source, leaving behind a fragrance that lingers throughout the day.

For heavy soil and hospital-grade disinfection, Tango is diluted 1:10 with water. For low to medium soil commercial-grade cleaning and disinfecting, it is diluted 1:50 with water (200ml per 10L wringer bucket). Apply by mop, sprayer or sponge and leave the diluted solution wet on the surface for as long as practical before wiping or rinsing.

What Surfaces Can Agar Tango Be Used On?

Suitable for any hard surface, it is especially well suited to cleaning and disinfecting floors, walls, toilets, sinks, baths, tiled areas and fittings.
