Review on 🧼 Clean Republic Disinfectant + Sanitizer: Professional-Grade Hypochlorous Acid for Business, Restaurants, Medical, and Dental Use - 128 oz (1 Gallon) by Emma Jones

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Professional quality but probably not that practical for home use

As much does it do what it's advertised as - basically a hospital safe disinfectant - I think it does, and probably well. The NIH published a study on the drug's effectiveness in healthcare (easy to google). However, the same article points out that the shelf life is quite short. I don't know if they added preservatives or not, but the fact that they say not to use it when the chlorine levels go down worries me about the expiration dates. It is sensitive to heat and light, so you need to keep it in a cool and dark place. Based on my own research on this product, I would hesitate to use it, having had it open for a very long time (I would encourage you to do your own research). Will I trust him on my countertops in a few weeks? Yes. Will I use it to clean something I know someone with Covid has touched? Not at all, and not because the product can't sanitize (it's GOOD ENOUGH from what I've seen), but because I'll be concerned that the chlorine will break down over time and reduce its effectiveness. In terms of difficulty of use, most sanitizers/sanitizers require an IME rinse. Also, Lysol should not be applied to a dirty surface and simply left on. You need to scrape off the dirt, spray and leave for a while, then rinse off if it comes into contact with surfaces/objects. what's in your mouth/eyes/etc. I have no issues with the usage procedure - I still follow it with Lysol, which I really like. I can't stand the smell of bleach so this is a great alternative. It might even be worth investing in some chlorine strips in the long run (they're cheap and easy to get) because it's great to have a healthier, less smelly option for true sanitizing. The fact that it can even be used topically (probably not this product. I don't know what the other 97% of the ingredients are but the hypochlorous acid solution itself) gives me a good feeling that it's safe. I think it's a good choice if you can use and test it quickly. However, for my immediate household needs, I doubt I can trust its performance over time.

Pros
  • Household cleaning
Cons
