Hypochlorous Acid has been used in the medical field for over a century.  Before antibiotics were discovered, it was used to irrigate and disinfect wounds in World War I. The main challenge of using this disinfectant has been keeping it in a stable form – it did not have a shelf life and it degraded quickly. This challenge has now been overcome with modern Anolyte Generators. 

Most organisms are killed immediately on contact. The weak acid Hypochlorous water based solution has excellent microbicidal effects against a broad spectrum of bacteria and viruses. The disinfectant works by using oxidation to take away electrons, disrupting the cellular structure of bacteria which basically destroys the cell walls of bacteria and protein coats of viruses. The simple water based, near neutral pH molecule makes it more effective in penetrating cell walls and reacts faster, destroying the DNA and RNA inside of bacteria and viruses. In fact, our own bodies produce it for our own immune systems. It has consistently been proven to lower the colony count of microbial pathogens and spoilage organisms by 99.99%.

Hypochlorous acid is a safe, nontoxic, nonhazardous disinfectant that does not cause any irritation to eyes, skin or inhalation.  It is not a bleach and does not damage clothing.  It is safer and 80 times more effective than bleach, is non hazardous to the environment, and can be discarded in drains.
