The Dr. Schumacher-Story

The founder of the company, Dr. Henning Schumacher, a chemist with a doctorate, worked and did research for many years at well-known companies. In 1978 he set up his own business. With the development of the first aldehyde-free disinfectant in the world, Dr. Schumacher GmbH focused in the 1980s in particular on the good compatibility of its products. At the end of the 1990s, there was a generation change: Henning Schumacher handed over the company to his sons Jens and Dierk, who also set to work with relevant expertise: Dierk Schumacher is a chemist like his father, Jens Schumacher is a pharmacist. To this day, research and development form a decisive foundation of the family business.

"We are globally successful because our products are user-friendly and safe," says the current Managing Director Dierk Schumacher. Starting from its headquarters in rural Malsfeld in northern Hesse, the company has been on a global growth course for years. In about four decades, it has developed into an internationally recognized hygiene specialist. Dr. Schumacher GmbH is currently one of Europe's leading manufacturers of disinfection, hygiene and care products for clinics, doctors' practices and geriatric care facilities, but it also produces wet wipes for baby care, personal hygiene, cosmetics and the home. Dr. Schumacher products are currently available in around 70 countries around the world, and more than 1,850 employees currently work at three production sites in Germany, Poland and Turkey.

Why do we particularly recommend these products to you?

More decisive for us at Tattoosafe than this impressive success story, however, is the unbeatable competence of Dr. Schumacher GmbH in the development of innovative, safely effective and easy-to-use disinfection and hygiene products.

The certified manufacturer of medical products and pharmaceuticals works according to ISO guidelines, so very high quality requirements and controls apply to its products. The company ensures a consistent standard through continuously developed procedures, numerous dermatological tests and product tests. External institutes and experts regularly test the effectiveness and skin compatibility of the products. Dr. Schumacher GmbH guarantees production in compliance with the Cosmetics Ordinance, the Biocide Ordinance and the Medical Devices Directive and holds an eco-certification according to ISO 14000 as well as QAKE. In addition, the company has been certified for 10 consecutive years according to the Eco Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) developed by the EU.

From the wide range of high-quality Dr. Schumacher products, we have selected for you those things that are particularly useful and necessary in daily studio use. For example, we find the cleverly coordinated combination of fleece wipes and watering solution very practical and economical. But one after the other:

Sprayed or wiped: flexible surface and instrument cleaning

The ready-to-use and fast-acting Dr. Schumacher Descosept Pur rapid disinfection is intended for the disinfection of medical inventory as well as alcohol-resistant surfaces of all kinds in accordance with the Biocide Directive. The fragrance- and aldehyde-free ethanol-based rapid disinfectant is particularly suitable for surfaces that are difficult to access. Due to the aldehyde-free formula, it leaves no residues, deposits or discolouration on surfaces. In addition, Dr. Schumacher Descosept Pur rapid disinfection is characterized by good skin compatibility and is therefore particularly recommended for allergy sufferers and skin-sensitive persons.

However, the "Dr. Schumacher modular system" also includes dry fleece wipes and empty dispenser buckets, which you can purchase separately. Why? So that you can prepare a disinfectant solution of your choice yourself as practical disinfectant wipes.

Dr. Schumacher Eco Wipes non-woven wipes dispenser, which you can get from us with a capacity of 3.4 litres, is a dispenser bucket developed precisely for the production, hygienic storage and removal of moist wipes. The wipes are removed from an absolutely leak-proof, resealable wipe dispenser system specially designed for this application. This reusable bucket is dishwasher safe up to 60° C.

These dry Dr. Schumacher Eco Wipes made of high-quality and lint-free non-woven fabric, which we offer in rolls of 100 wipes each, can be used soaked with all surface disinfectants. They deliver the disinfectant solution excellently to the surface - working with them is very economical. Of course, the nonwoven materials offered by Dr. Schumacher GmbH, which are produced in-house, are certified according to FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes). With these certifications, the company is committed to responsible and sustainable forestry.

Thanks to this combination solution, you can also prepare disinfectant wipes with Dr. Schumacher OPTISAL N as an alternative to Descosept.  The liquid concentrate Optisal N is particularly recommended for surface disinfection and cleaning in areas where not only high hygienic requirements are to be met, but also unpleasant odours are to be avoided. The aldehyde- and phenol-free disinfectant cleaner has a pleasant fresh scent and high cleaning power, e.g. for PVC/linoleum floors. Adhesive effects are avoided. Dr. Schumacher OPTISAL N is bactericidal, tuberculocidal, levurocidal and limited virucidal (incl. HBV/HIV/HCV/Vaccinia/BVDV/influenza/flu viruses).

The alcohol-, phenol- and aldehyde-free, 20 x 22 cm Dr. Schumacher Cleanisept Wipes Maxi are ready to use for the rapid disinfection of surfaces, but also of medical equipment such as ultrasound heads. These disinfecting wipes are particularly gentle on materials and can be conveniently removed thanks to a practical POP-up closure.
