Are Hypochlorous Acid Cleaning Agents Actually Better than Chemical Cleaners?

Demand for hypochlorous acid cleansers and deodorizers, as an eco-friendly, safe, and sustainable alternative to traditional cleaning products, is increasing!

The demand for more sustainable materials and cleaning products has increased since the start of the pandemic in 2020. Today, most consumer product organizations have made “sustainability” a number one priority. In one survey, 85% said being eco-friendly was just as, or even more important to them than before the pandemic.

But the push from consumers for eco-friendly product options has been steadily increasing over the past few decades. To that end, let’s debunk some myths about all-natural, eco-friendly cleaning product alternatives.

Myth: All-natural cleaners, such as hypochlorous acid products, just don’t work as well as chemical-based products.

One key difference between traditional cleaners and safer and healthier options lies in the type of active ingredients they use. There are specific active ingredients in greener products. This is based on the life cycle impacts on the environment and safety for the end user.

Myth: All-natural hypochlorous acid products aren’t “always better” for our environment.

Product manufacturers and marketers used to make claims about their products’ environmental benefits without merit. This was a practice often misunderstood by consumers. Which then led to the widely held impression that green products don’t live up to the hype.

This marketing practice was labeled “Greenwashing.” And that became a big problem that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and its Green Guides.

Today, products must provide context and information to demonstrate the benefits they claim. For example, a product with claims to be biodegradable must show that it is biodegradable under the normal disposable circumstances. In other words, a “disinfectant wipe” can be biodegradable in a soil-burial test. But if it ends up in a landfill or incinerator, based on normal consumer usage, it is not biodegradable.

Myth: Green products are not that safe!

There is unequivocal evidence that hypochlorous acid is MORE effective than popular traditional household and industrial cleaning products!

All-natural and sustainable cleaners are food-contact safe. They can also be used without personal protective equipment (PPE), and are safer to use around children, pets, and plants (including soil). Most popular cleaning agents contain chemicals, and are not safe for human (as well as animal) skin and eyes.
