Tips for best use

  • Store away from light to maintain effectiveness
  • Use fresh where possible. Oxygen-based solutions gradually lose strength once exposed to light and air.


How to use it

  1. Clean the surface first using a soap-based spray.
  2. Spray the hydrogen peroxide evenly onto the surface.
  3. Allow it to sit for several minutes to do its job.
  4. Wipe away with a clean cloth or paper towel.


Using alcohol for disinfecting
Alcohol-based sprays (using ethanol or isopropyl alcohol at the correct concentration) are another effective option for disinfection. They work by rapidly breaking down proteins in microbes and evaporate quickly without leaving residue. As with oxygen-based disinfecting sprays, alcohol should be used after cleaning, not instead of it, and never mixed with other disinfectants.
