Sustainability is at the core of our product development. We understand that, if given the choice, we believe many people would prefer to use cleaning solutions that don’t have any toxic chemicals and are family and pet friendly. That is why we've perfected cleaning solutions that are safe yet don't sacrifice efficacy.
What Is Hydrogen Peroxide?
While it may sound like a toxic chemical, hydrogen peroxide is a naturally occurring substance. While its scientific name may sound complicated, hydrogen peroxide is simply water with an extra oxygen molecule. Plants and animals can produce hydrogen peroxide (it is even produced in the human body), as well as the simple reaction of sunlight acting on water.
Uses of Hydrogen Peroxide
Hydrogen Peroxide is an oxidizing agent, effective disinfectant, and its foaming action aids in cleaning. It can be used as an effective disinfectant in every room of the house, and for personal care, gardening, food preparation, stain removal and more.
Cleaning, sanitizing, disinfecting
When it comes to eliminating germs, it's important to understand the differences between these popular cleaning terms:
- Cleaning = removes dirt and grime (can physically move germs, but not kill them)
- Sanitizing = reduces the number of germs to safer levels (by either cleaning or disinfecting)
- Disinfecting = kills germs using chemicals (not guaranteed to clean)
