Hypochlorous acid doesn’t wait. Unlike bleach or peroxide, which often require long dwell times and safety precautions, HOCl begins killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact. It penetrates microbial walls instantly-disrupting cellular function and rendering the threat inert. It’s proven effective against E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, MRSA, and Norovirus. For facilities under audit pressure or contamination risk, speed equals protection.
