A
safer replacement for Chlorine Bleach
Some new products on the market use Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) in low concentrations . It breaks down to water and oxygen and is one of the most powerful oxidizers known to man. Being a powerful oxidizer it kills Bacteria, Viruses and Fungi.
This is a much safer alternative to Chlorine Bleach.
Others are Bio-Based. Made from plant matter. Chemicals made from Grain crops,citrus fruits and Vegetable oils are increasing in popularity.
