Putting it into a protocol
-
Pre-clean.
Fecal matter and waste are thoroughly removed before disinfection. Vigorous wiping or scrubbing until all visible soil is gone.
-
Prepare the solution.
Concentration varies by strain — 538–4306 ppm — confirm against the strain table above before preparing a solution. Tablet counts and water volumes are on the dilution chart.
-
Apply and hold.
Surfaces stay visibly wet for the full contact time listed above. If the surface dries early, the claim does not apply.
-
Direction of work.
Right to left or left to right on horizontal surfaces, top to bottom on vertical. Restrooms last. Do not reuse soiled cloths.
-
Coverage.
Manual wiping misses three-dimensional surfaces. Electrostatic application reaches IV poles, wheelchair frames, and other complex geometry.
Frequently asked
Is PurOne effective against Influenza?
Yes. PurOne and PurTabs are both EPA-registered against Influenza A (H1N1, H3N2) and Avian Influenza A (H5N1), by general application and electrostatic sprayer.
What is the fastest influenza contact time?
1 minute, at 4306 ppm, for both H1N1 and Avian H5N1 general-application claims.
Available in two tablet sizes
PurOne 3.3g, 200-count tub
PurOne 13.1g, loose pack
Both dissolve in water to the concentration your protocol requires. Concentrated tablets remove the cost and weight of shipping water, and the dilution chart converts tablet count to available chlorine.
