• Removing soil load
• Dwell time for quats = 10 minutes
• No residual kill time
• Super bugs
• Cotton mops
• Detergent residues
• Best Practice/procedure
What We’re Doing
• EPA Registration
• Neutral pH (multiple surfaces)
• Stabilized Hydrogen Peroxide
• Green
• USDA
• LEED
Hydrogen Peroxide: Cleaning for Health
Smart Metrics lead to Proven Outcomes
• 1 product, 2 dilutions
95% of cleaning
• Chemical reduction in inventory
• Increased attendance rates
• People do not fail, processes fail.
• Abundant information on cause and effect.
• Where are the processes and application outlined to achieve desired results?
• Safe – Simple – Savings
Outcomes Realized?
Question: How many types of stains are there in the world?
Answer: Two. An alkaline and an acid.
Question: Then why do we need 30+ different cleaners?
Food for Thought
• Hydrogen Peroxide = Acid
• 95% of what we are confronted with
• Use Green solution for light-duty cleaning
• Use Red solution for heavy-duty cleaning
Acid Stains
Alkaline Stains
• Look for water sourceso Soap scumo Tile/grout build upo Water fountainso Shower roomso Swimming pools
• Use an acid that is water solubleo Won’t damage fixtureso No hazardous fumes

Green Solution: Cost Benefit
• Hydrogen peroxide is not expensiveo Green solution = $0.05 per quart $0.20 per gal
• 1 case = 2048 quart spray bottles of diluted product
• Use for general wipe down• Glide and go• Use for floor cleaning, autoscrubbers
Red Solution: Cost Benefit
• Hydrogen peroxide is not expensiveo Red solution = $0.50 per quart $2.00 per gal
• Productivity• 5 min. dwell time vs. 10 min. dwell time• No residual build-up• Soil load removed• “Take the home away from the host”
• Chemical composition
o Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
• Dismutation takes place
• Reduction occurs
• Oxidation – 1 molecule of oxygen off gases
• H2O is residual = NO BUILD UP
• All water safe surfaces (carpet, tile, grout, glass etc.)
o 1 product, 2 dilutions = 95% general cleaning
Why it works…
• Hydrogen peroxide compound/compound = BOOM!
• Absorb with dry microfiber cloth
• Remove soil load with no residue
• CLEAN CLOTH + CLEAN SOLUTION = CLEAN SURFACE
How it works…
• Stack soil load
• Breeding ground for bio-films
• Touch points become compromised
• The virus and bacteria can transfer
• “Take the home away from the host”
• “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”
• Prevention
Why residue is a problem
• Short answer: NO.
• Keep it simple.
• Review the MSDS sheets.
• Not the chemical, but the chemistry.
• Using hydrogen peroxide will have you off-gas other chemical in the solution.
Are all H2O2 products the same?
• String mops
• Mop buckets
• Down press wringers
Are we moving dirt around?
• To clean with something that heals
• To use pesticides/poison (EPA registered product)
• Quats have their place
• Isolation- nurse’s office (higher education)
• Biologic spills- blood, vomit
What makes sense?

H2Orange2 Concentrate 117™
H2Orange2 Concentrate 117™ is an EPA registered…Multi-purpose cleaner, degreaser, sanitizer, virucide*, HBV** and deodorizer.
Concentrate 117 meets or exceeds the strictest of environmental standards and regulations.
H2Orange2 Concentrate 117 Sustainability Facts:
-Low VOC’s
-Biodegradable-Does not contain asthmagens-Unlike other antimicrobial active ingredients, Hydrogen Peroxide rapidly degrades to water and oxygen leaving no antimicrobial residue in the environment to contribute to
microbial resistance.
*When used as directed Concentrate 117™ is EPA registered to kill Herpes Simplex virus Type 2**, Influenza A2/Japan, HBV (Hepatitis B Virus)** and HIV-1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus).
**Except in California.
1 Concentrate, 2 Dilutions = 95% of General Cleaning
H2Orange2 Concentrate 117™ Cleans...• Glass & Stainless Steel• All Hard Floors• Restroom• Sanitizer/Virucide*• Carpet Spots• Carpet • Food Grease• Urine & Garbage Odors• Tile & GroutAnd all other water safe surfaces!

LEED Certification CreditsThe USGBC (United States Green Building Council) is a non-profit organization committed to expanding sustainable buildings practices. They are working to advance structures that are environmentally responsible, profitable and healthy places to work. One of the USGBC initiatives is the LEED-EB: O&M (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance) certification.
One of the credits available under the Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ) section of the LEED-EB: O&M is credit 3.4-3.6: Green Cleaning: Purchase of Sustainable Cleaning Products and Materials.
H2Orange2 Concentrate 117 meets the requirements for this credit!!
This code states that a cleaning product must meet the California Code of Regulations maximum allowable VOC levels for the specific product category. H2Orange2 Concentrate 117 VOC percentages are below California Code of Regulations maximum allowable VOC levels for their specific non-aerosol product categories.
