Frequently Asked Questions

Is this product safe to use in your home or business?

Yes! This product is completely safe to use at home or business as well as in your vehicle, public restrooms, or any other place you go to and it is biodegradable. You can use this product as frequently as you like. There are no known eye or skin irritation on humans or animals based on research studies conducted by independent labs. However, in higher concentrations we recommend using minimal protective equipment such as goggles, gloves and masks. This product has been used for many years and has minimal odor and leaves no residue on surfaces and does not need to be wiped up after use. It dries quickly without leaving streaks. Also, FDA has approved the use of HOCl as a No-Rinse sanitizer for food such as vegetables and fruits up to 60 ppm.

How fast does the product destroy the COVID 19 virus?

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) has been researched and proven to be effective against many viruses. Since the COVID 19 virus has a structure like Influenza and H1N1 viruses we can safely assume it can destroy it within 15 seconds of contact at a minimum concentration of 200 Parts Per Million (ppm). Some studies suggest 10 minutes of contact required for best virucidal efficacy with 225 ppm. This is an ever-developing field and as more research and testing are done more information will be available. Please note our product is not yet registered with the EPA and thus does not make any specific kill claims.

What is the shelf life of this product?

If the product is kept in its original sealed bottle, the shelf life is approximately 3-18 months. When the bottle is left open, the concentration degrades with time. It is important to keep the product in airtight containers in air-conditioned room temperature, away from sunlight, to prolong shelf life. We highly recommend you check the PPM using test strips.

Is the product safe to use for personal hygiene?

Yes absolutely! This product can be used as a personal hygiene product such as a hand sanitizer and as a first aid skin antiseptic spray for wound care. It can also be used to sanitize personal items like tooth brushes, toys, yoga mats, cell phones, etc.

How does one dispense the product to disinfect or sanitize?

HOCL can be dispensed in a spray bottle of varying sizes to sanitize surfaces and objects as well as through an Ultra-Light Volume (ULV) Fogger to sanitize larger areas to destroy most Aerosol Transmissible Pathogens (ATPs). Please note that our product is not yet registered with the EPA and thus does not make any kill claims.

What is HOCl?

HOCl is the scientific formula for hypochlorous acid, a weak acid (at 5 – 7pH), like that of a mild citrus juice. HOCl is made naturally by white blood cells in all mammals for healing and fighting infection against bacteria, fungi and viruses. HOCl is a powerful oxidant that is effective against invading bacteria, fungi, and viruses both inside the human body and the environment outside. Generating HOCl by running electricity through a solution of saltwater was discovered in 1970s even though it has been in use for many years prior.


HOCl is now used in healthcare, food safety, water treatment, and general sanitation throughout the world.

How is HOCL made and how is the stability of the solution?

Depending on the process used to generate the hypochlorous acid, the solution can be stable. We use an electrolysis system which is capable of generating neutral-to-acidic electrolyzed water (anolyte) for cleaning & sanitation and for water disinfection. The anolyte is composed primarily of the free chlorine molecule hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a powerful oxidant. Electrolysis is a well-known technology but the generated solution can be highly variable depending on many factors such as the quality of the electrolysis cells, the chemistry of the additive, and the software settings of the electrolyzing systems. We are using a system that manufactures the highest quality electrolysis cells and has identified the optimal formulas and settings of voltage, amperage, and flow rates for our systems to generate the highest quality solutions of HOCl for food sanitation, general sanitation and water disinfection.

Is this product a diluted Bleach Solution?

NO! This product or HOCl is very different from bleach or Sodium Hypochlorite. It is different in its alkalinity (pH of 5-7, versus pH of 12 for bleach) and it is not as corrosive as bleach (HOCl’s pH is in a neutral range similar to the pH of human skin), has minimal odor, leaves no residue, and it does not irritate the eyes or the skin.

Where can I get this product?

Just go to biocloudsolusions.com to order it in a 1-gallon and 32 fl oz containers. Other sizes will be available in future.

What is the alkalinity or pH level of this product?

The pH Level of this product ranges between 5-7pH.

How fast can I receive this product?

This product can be shipped express overnight, standard overnight, or regular ground (3-5 days) to most destinations within the US. International shipments take longer and are quoted on a case by case basis.

How should one dispense the product?

This product can be dispensed in a spray bottle of varying sizes to sanitize surfaces and objects as well as through an Ultra-Light Volume (ULV) Fogger to sanitize larger areas to destroy most Aerosol Transmissible Pathogens (ATPs) including many viruses. Please note our product is not yet registered with the EPA and thus does not make any specific kill claims.

Can this product be dispensed in a ULV Fogger?

Yes absolutely! This product can be dispensed through an Ultra-Light Volume (ULV) Fogger to sanitize larger areas to address most pathogens in microdroplets and aerosols. Please note our product is not yet registered with the EPA and thus does not make any specific kill claims.

Does it cause corrosion?

Hypochlorous acid is a powerful oxidant and will cause corrosion if left exposed for extended periods of time to brass, copper, iron, or lower quality steel. Stainless steel can corrode as well if submersed in high concentrations of hypochlorous acid (>200 ppm) for extended periods of time. However, with normal daily use of 200 ppm or less it is considered non-corrosive.

Is Hypochlorous acid allowed by The USDA National Organic Program?

On June 9, 2014, the National Organic Program (NOP) published a policy memorandum clarifying that electrolyzed water (hypochlorous acid) is allowed in organic production and handling.
