Review on Vaxxen Labs Professional Grade Hypochlorous Acid (550 PPM) - 1 Gallon for Home, Office & Medical Locations by Gabriel Day

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A limited alternative to bleach or vinegar. Other options below

My only complaint really is the price. But I have concerns about the restrictions. First the benefits: BENEFITS: - Much less odor than bleach, maybe 80% less bleach odor - No risk of soiling clothes - Safe for children and pets. In fact, some people use this as a topical treatment for first aid and skin conditions. Don't worry about accidental swallowing. I certainly wouldn't drink it on purpose, but in a cast accidentally swallowing something, no need to call an ambulance. - Does everything household bleach can, plus more. People mistakenly believe that branded household bleach "kills everything" which is just not true - household bleach only kills about 70% of known bacteria, which is why it's not used in hospitals. It kills more. Cons: - Doesn't clean. It's not a cleaner, it's just a disinfectant. Yes, it can eat away some dirt and scum like bleach, but it's mainly for bleaching and sanitizing. is he stable What is the expiration date and how long does it last? Pure hypochlorous acid is not stable at all, I assume some sort of stabilizing agent is added to it, but this is not disclosed. - How to use it? It comes with no instructions other than what is written on the bottle. Basically, you have to leave it on for a minute to kill the bacteria. Most people don't know it, but Lysol also doesn't kill germs unless it's left on a surface for a minute or two, which almost nobody does. other precautions. OTHER OPTIONS. Vinegar is a pretty good and inexpensive alternative to bleach. Vinegar doesn't kill as many germs as household bleach or hypochlorous acid, but it's great for general cleaning, and because it's so acidic it actually eats away buildup and soapy water. Make hypochlorous acid at home! If you like it, you can make it yourself instead of paying $25-$30 a gallon. Relatively inexpensive equipment is required for its manufacture. Chlorine Dioxide - Available as a powder, much less odor than household bleach, kills more germs, feels safer, less expensive than hypochlorous acid. Because it's in powder form, you can make it when you need it without worrying about the expiration date. - Ozone Water - Ozone machines are very inexpensive, less than $30, and ozone kills as many germs as household bleach. It's also not a cleaner, it's just a disinfectant, but it's very mild and has an amazingly fresh scent, no longer smells of bleach or vinegar. Be careful with ozone vapor, human lungs are made for O2, not O3. But once the ozone gas is injected into the water, it's stable for 30-60 minutes and totally safe - I even drink it because it's good for my health. There are several peer-reviewed medical articles on the successful treatment of patients with pandemic viruses with intravenous ozone.
