Just like bubbles in a carbonated drink, hypochlorous acid starts to dissipate over time. Other competing HOCl products lose their efficacy very quickly – usually within a few short weeks, even though they claim to have long shelf life.When deciding which products to purchase, sellers understand that most buyers don’t read the fine print. They’re great a playing the wordsmith game in their marketing. But EPA labels present the facts; they tell the whole story. An example of some wording you will find on labels for HOCl products includes, “Must use within 30 days as a disinfectant. Thereafter may be used as a sanitizer and deodorizer…”Disinfexol is vastly different. We use a proprietary process that enables us to produce stable, long-lasting HOCl which is then sold in ready-to-use bottles with PROVEN, GLP certified shelf life of 1 year. We stand behind our real, 1 year shelf-life and Disinfexol is the only HOCl product on the market today that can make this claim!
