DISINFECTION
PREPARATION OF USE SOLUTION:
For water hardness up to 300 ppm add 2 ounces per gallon (16 milliliters per liter) of water (1:64) to disinfect hard, non porous surfaces [Glass, metal, stainless steel, glazed porcelain, glazed ceramic, granite, marble, plastic (such as polystyrene or polypropylene), sealed limestone, sealed slate, sealed stone, sealed terra cotta, sealed terrazzo, chrome and vinyl]. Apply solution with a cloth, mop, sponge, hand pump trigger sprayer or other mechanical sprayer devices. Treated surfaces must remain wet for 10 minutes. Let air dry. Prepare a fresh solution for each use. This product is effective in hard water up to 300 ppm hardness. Remove gross filth or heavy soil. For heavily soiled areas, a pre-cleaning step is required.
VIRUCIDAL: When used on inanimate, hard, non-porous, environmental surfaces at 2 ounces per gallon of water for a 10 minute contact time (5% organic soil), except for Poliovirus Type I (Chat strain): which requires a 30 minute contact time (5% organic soil) and HIV-1 which requires only 30 second contact time. This product, in the presence of a 98% organic soil load, diluted 1:64 (2 ounces per gallon) in 400 ppm Hard Water, demonstrated efficacy within 10 minutes against the following virus: Human Coronavirus. Note that the organism referenced in the above statement is not associated with blood spills. For blood spills, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned before applying this product.
