Enhancing Health and Safety Onboard with Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL): A New Standard for Cruise Ships.

Introduction

As the cruise industry strives to provide memorable travel experiences, the health and safety of passengers and crew members remain a top priority.

In this context, Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL), a potent, safe, and ecofriendly disinfectant, emerges as an effective solution.

This article explores the benefits of integrating HOCL into hygiene and disinfection protocols on cruise ships.

Superior Disinfecting Properties

  • HOCL is a powerful and potent disinfectant recognized by global health authorities, including the EPA and FDA.
  • It is proven to be 80-100 times more effective than bleach in eliminating pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Moreover, it has demonstrated efficacy against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
  • Utilizing HOCL in hotels and resorts provides a significantly more sanitary environment, ensuring guests' safety.

  • Moreover, it does not leave toxic residues on surfaces nor does it contribute to pollution, aligning with the growing trend of sustainable and responsible tourism.
  • Plus, after neutralizing pathogens, HOCL breaks down into a simple saline solution, making it environmentally benign.

Rapid and Efficient
