How Kleenex® Anti-Viral Tissue Works
(Only available in New Zealand)

Kills 99% of Cold and Flu viruses in the tissue before they spread

Kleenex Anti Viral Tissues have 3 soft layers. The outer layers have a special ‘softness’ additive, gentle and soothing against the skin. The centre layer has an anti-viral formula which is moisture-activated and is scientifically proven to kill 99% of cold and flu viruses* in the tissue, before they spread.

When you cough or sneeze, cold viruses are expelled in the form of tiny moisture droplets. They can travel up to 320 km/hr, landing up to three feet away, and they can live on surfaces for more than 24 hours1! Flu viruses are airborne – just waiting to be breathed in by an unsuspecting person or family member.

When moisture from a runny nose, cough or sneeze comes in contact with Kleenex Anti-Viral Tissues’ special middle layer, cold and flu viruses* are trapped and killed by special ingredients inside the tissue.

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL. USE ONLY AS DIRECTED.
