OUR WHY
Trust Goldshield to Protect What Matters
With the rise of “superbugs”, COVID 19 [SARS CoV2], MRSA, Staph, and mold spores, there has never been a stronger awareness in the public mind about infections and the devastation that a global pandemic can bring to bear on us all. Each organisation must now balance the health and safety of their employees, adhere to new and rapidly-changing government guidelines and provide peace of mind.

To Protect
What Matters
OUR STORY
In the middle of years of research on antimicrobial technology, our co-founder, Tom Higgins’ father passed away from a hospital-acquired infection. He found himself newly driven toward developing technologies that would eliminate the possibilities of germs, when improperly cleaned with ineffective, poor performing products, killing another person’s loved one.
With the help of his partner, Ted Shlisky and a former Dean of Harvard Medical School, in 2008 the Goldshield Formula was born and through a process of non-stop research and development of innovative residual technology for hands, surfaces, laundry, FFP3 face masks and many more besides. Goldshield today is proud to deliver the best protection possible and the family continues to work tirelessly towards his dream of spreading this safe protection to every corner of the world.

Each region of the world has their own regulatory agency that tests products to prove their kill claims. Each agency has their own “testing protocols”. In the absence of a standard testing protocol, there is no way for a product to be approved for a claim. In the case of disinfection claims you are required to be tested for both bacterial and viral pathogens.
The United States had begun the process of developing a “residual viral” testing protocol prior to the pandemic, 2019, but due to the high demand, high stress brought on by the pandemic for the agency, that process was interrupted and has still not been completed as of September 2021. Until that is completed, in the United States our Goldshield Antimicrobial Surface Agent products are not permitted to use the word “disinfectant” or “virus(es)” on our labels or website.
NOTE: The EPA Homeland Security Laboratory and scientists have been using Goldshield to test the planned residual viral protocol for efficacy and we have received very favorable results. Unfortunately, the department of Efficacy at the EPA (those responsible for approving claims for labels) considers testing done in the EPA’s own labs to be “a conflict of interest” and therefore won’t accept those results for claims on our bottle labels or website at this time.
We have no such constraints outside of the United States.
