Habilitat has long been recognized as one of the nation’s foremost residential substance-abuse treatment programs. With meager resources, Mr. Marino founded Habilitat on January 27, 1971, starting with only eight people housed in a small home in Kailua, Hawai`i. Mr. Marino was determined to pursue his uncompromising commitment to address the growing epidemic of individuals with substance abuse problems and other anti-social behaviors.
Certol’s products have been useful to boost productivity, and reduce waiting time for customers utilizing the Habilitat car wash services. “I would like to thank you personally, on behalf of all of the residents here, for helping us once again to achieve our goal of working hard, smart and efficient, creating a superior finished product for our valued supporters,” says Mr. Mason.

Hand washing is a good start to Infection Prevention, but it is not the only method we should be using to stop the spread of disease. While hand washing is a very effective, low cost, and easy way to prevent the spread of disease, I feel we are beating a dead horse on this matter.
Hand washing is great for use at home, after using the facility, and after being out and about on the town, however, the medical and dental industries need to be held to a higher standard. They need to practice a higher level of disinfection than that of most other industries.
To prevent the spread of infection and disease, a mid level disinfectant should be used on surfaces, equipment, furniture, sensors, and in front offices. Basically, anywhere a patient could be exposed to a disease, infection, or hazardous soil, needs to be properly cleaned and disinfected.
When choosing a disinfectant to use, be sure that the product has broad spectrum disinfecting power. The inactivates should benchmark tuberculosis and everything below that organism. The solution should also meet the CDC guidelines for surface disinfection in the presence of blood and other bodily soils.
In addition to hand washing, Certol has the solution for Infection Prevention. Certol makes a solution called ProSpray that is a broad spectrum antimicrobial disinfectant and cleaner. It is tuberculocidal and meets CDC guidelines for intermediate level disinfectant use when blood and body soils are likely to be present. Detergents in the water based formula provide effective cleaning. It may be used on surfaces, as a cleaning solution for instruments and as a disinfectant for dental impressions and appliances.

If November 25th is “Black Friday” and November 28th is “Cyber Monday”, then what does that make the Saturday in between? It’s called “Small Business Saturday”, and it is the second annual shopping day where consumer’s pledge to support small and local businesses.
Supporting small businesses, whether in person, or online, allows independently owned small business to create jobs, help stimulate the economy, and puts much needed money back into communities across the country.
Last year, "Small Business Saturday helped create broad awareness of the importance of supporting the independent small businesses that are so vital to our communities," said Kenneth Chenault, chairman and chief executive officer of American Express. It hopes to accomplish more awareness and revenue for small entities this year with its second annual event.
