HOCl, or hypochlorous acid, is a powerful and naturally occurring disinfectant that effectively eliminates germs and bacteria without leaving harmful residues, making it safe for various sanitization purposes.
​
​The National Institutes of Health (NIH) notes that hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is at least 100 times more effective than bleach in eliminating germs, yet it remains safe for people and animals. This makes HOCl an exceptional disinfectant, offering powerful sanitation while being gentle enough for use in various environments.
