FAQS
What is HOCl and is it actually safe?
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a compound generated from salt and water.
It’s used in cleaning and disinfecting products to provide effective performance on hard, non-porous surfaces when used as directed.
Suitable for use in kitchens and other high-use areas according to label directions.
How is this different from bleach?
Bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl) are different compounds with different properties and use profiles.
Bleach solutions are typically alkaline and can have a noticeable odor. Depending on concentration and use conditions, they may require careful handling and ventilation.
HOCl solutions are generated from salt and water and are typically formulated closer to neutral pH. They are commonly used in cleaning and disinfecting products designed for hard, non-porous surfaces.
HOCl-based formulations are often described as having a lower odor profile compared to traditional bleach solutions.
As with any cleaning or disinfecting product, performance and suitability depend on the specific formulation and following label directions.
Is this safe to use around babies and toddlers?
This product is designed for use on hard, non-porous surfaces when used as directed.
It can be used on high chairs, changing tables, toys, and other frequently used surfaces according to label directions. After application, allow surfaces to dry before use.
As with all cleaning products, store out of reach of children.
Is this safe around pets?
Our products are designed for use in homes with pets.
Dog Gone Odor is designed for use on surfaces and fabrics in homes with pets.
Apply as directed and allow treated areas to dry before use.
As with all cleaning products, keep out of reach of pets when not in use.
Does it have a scent?
HOCl belongs to the chlorine family, so there may be a very faint, clean scent that dissipates quickly. There are no added fragrances, perfumes, or synthetic scents.
How long does it take to work?
For disinfecting, spray on the surface and allow to remain wet for 10 minutes before wiping or allowing to air dry.
For odor control, apply to the affected area as needed. Helps control odor-causing bacteria on treated surfaces when used as directed.
