HOCl home disinfectant · EPA Reg. No. 91582-1

Strong enough for hospitals. Gentle enough for your home.

You read every label. You crack a window when you clean. And for years you've had to choose: the harsh sprays that work, or the gentle ones you're never quite sure about. You don't have to choose anymore.

Can you use hypochlorous acid to clean and disinfect your home?

Yes. Danolyte is a hospital-grade, EPA-registered hypochlorous acid (HOCl) disinfectant made for homes as well as hospitals. Its active ingredient is derived from naturally occurring salt minerals and water. It kills bacteria and viruses on hard, non-porous surfaces,* has no fragrance, dyes, alcohol, phenols or VOCs, and breaks down into saline solution after it works. The label says it's gentle enough for use in nurseries.

You were never doing it wrong. You were told you had to choose.

The strong stuff

It kills germs, but it fills the house with a smell that lingers, and it leaves a residue on the counters, toys and floors your family touches all day.

The gentle stuff

It smells nice and feels better to use, but you're left wondering whether the doorknob or cutting board is really disinfected, or just wiped.

Danolyte ends the trade-off: hospital-grade disinfecting, with nothing harsh left behind.

The new way

Meet Gentle Strength: salt, water and electricity, made fresh

Danolyte is hypochlorous acid. We make it by running salt water through an electrolytic cell in generators our own family designs and builds. The result is a hospital-grade disinfectant that breaks down into saline after it does its job.

Think about lemonade. Would you rather have a glass squeezed this morning, or one poured from a jug that's been sitting in a warehouse? HOCl naturally breaks down over time, so fresh matters. That's why we make Danolyte every weekday in Overland Park, Kansas, and ship it the day it's made, with the production date on every container.

Kitchen

Where your family eats, and where the groceries, backpacks and mail all land.

Use it on: counters, tables, sinks, faucets, cabinet handles, appliance exteriors, refrigerator and freezer interiors, microwaves, stovetops, cutting boards, lunch boxes and trash cans. It also lifts grease and food stains and removes garlic, fish and onion odors.

Bathroom

Clean that smells like nothing at all, instead of a cloud of chemicals in a small room.

Use it on: toilet seats, rims and bowls, tubs, showers, tiled walls, vanities, mirrors, faucets and soap dispensers. It removes bathtub ring and mildew stains, and kills the bacteria and yeast that cause bathroom odors.

Living room and bedrooms

The places they relax, play and sleep deserve the same care you give them.

Use it on: doorknobs, light switches, TV remotes, phones, tablets, keyboards, desks, lamps, toys, floors, humidifiers, and plastic or vinyl mattress and pillow covers. For electronics, power off and spray a cloth.

Entryway and on the go

Everything that comes home comes through the front door first.

Use it on: front doorknobs, hand railings, handles, stroller handles, children's car seats, your car and grocery carts.

Laundry, basement and garage

Fix the musty smell at the source instead of covering it up.

Use it on: hampers, laundry rooms, basements, attics, garages, storage areas and garbage cans.

Patio and yard

Outdoor time without a chemical smell on the picnic table.

Use it on: decks, outdoor furniture (not wood frames or upholstery), picnic tables, planters, playground equipment and children's wading pools.

If you can spray a counter, you can do this

  1. 1

    Spray

    Use it straight from the bottle. No mixing, no measuring.

  2. 2

    Let it work

    Keep the surface wet for the time on the label.

  3. 3

    Walk away

    It air dries. No rinsing, no wiping, nothing left behind.

For cutting boards and dishes, mix 1 cup Danolyte with 1½ cups water to sanitize with no rinse. Every mix is in the Danolyte Disinfectant Label Guide.

For the person who does the cleaning

Told to steer clear of harsh cleaners? You still need to disinfect.

Maybe strong smells are a problem in your house. Maybe you're the one cleaning for someone else: a spouse, a parent, a child, a client. Either way, you've been stuck choosing between products that clean and products that disinfect.

Danolyte is EPA-registered to kill influenza A (H1N1), RSV, norovirus and MRSA on hard surfaces,* with no fragrance, no dyes, no alcohol and no VOCs, and a low odor that's the smell of clean.

Your home. Your call.

Stop choosing between strong and gentle

  • A home that's disinfected, not just wiped
  • The smell of clean, with nothing covering it up
  • One bottle in place of a cabinet full of products
  • Hospital-grade strength that's gentle enough for the nursery

Questions about using HOCl at home

What is hypochlorous acid?

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is Danolyte's active ingredient. We make it by passing salt water through an electrolytic cell, at a near-neutral pH of 6.5. It's derived from naturally occurring salt minerals and water, has no fragrance, dyes or VOCs, and breaks down into saline solution after use.

Can I use Danolyte on kitchen counters and cutting boards?

Yes. Spray counters at full strength to clean and disinfect. For cutting boards, dishes and other surfaces that touch food, sanitize with 1 cup Danolyte mixed with 1½ cups water; no rinse is needed. If you disinfect food-contact surfaces at full strength, rinse with drinking water afterward.

Do I have to rinse after using Danolyte?

No. Danolyte is a no-rinse formula, so you can spray it on and let surfaces air dry. The one exception is food-contact surfaces disinfected at full strength, which you rinse with drinking water.

What does Danolyte smell like?

It has no added fragrance. The label describes it as low odor with a fresh, clean scent: the smell of clean. Because it kills odor-causing bacteria, it removes smells instead of covering them up.

Is Danolyte fragrance free?

Yes. Danolyte has no fragrance, no dyes, no alcohol, no phenols, no phosphates and no VOCs. It's low odor and still an EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant.

Can I use Danolyte in a home with pets?

Yes. The label says there are no worries about pet licking after cleaning, and that it's worry-free in kennels, litter boxes and pet areas. Its fragrance-free formula will not irritate your dog's nose.

Can assisted living, nursing homes and home health agencies use Danolyte?

Yes. Assisted living, nursing and retirement homes, hospices, dialysis and outpatient clinics, and home health care settings are all listed on the Danolyte label.

Why does it matter that HOCl is made fresh?

HOCl naturally breaks down over time. We make Danolyte every weekday at our own facility in Overland Park, Kansas, and ship it the day it's made, and every container is marked with its production date.

Do I need to dilute it?

No. Danolyte is ready to use at full strength for cleaning, disinfecting and deodorizing. Diluting is optional, for sanitizing food-contact surfaces, cleaning glass, or treating flowers.

*On hard, non-porous surfaces when used as directed. Always read and follow label directions. See the full Danolyte Disinfectant Label Guide.
