HYDROLYTE® DISINFECTANT SOLUTION VS. ALTERNATIVES
The electrolysis of salt water to produce anolyte solutions, including Hydrolyte®, is an exciting development due to its production of cleaning, & disinfecting fluids that do not contain hazardous chemicals. Many healthcare facilities choose Hydrolyte® due to its numerous advantages over competing disinfectant products:
Traditional Cleaning and Disinfectant Solutions
The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and other pathogens exposes the inability of many traditional disinfecting solutions to target these extremely harmful mutations. Hydrolyte® is effective against H1N1, C. diff, salmonella, MRSA, TB, norovirus, and many other pathogens, and is a desirable alternative to more toxic cleaning and disinfecting products.
The effectiveness of Hydrolyte® against antibiotic resistant bacteria is due in large part to its physical mode of destroying harmful cells. The anolyte solution, rather than attacking cells at a chemical level, physically destroys cell walls and breaks down cellular DNA, leaving no opportunity for the building up of resistance.
UV Cleaning
In recent years, the use of ultraviolet (UV) light to disinfect has gained popularity. However, UV light fails to adequately address all surfaces in a hospital room, operating theater, or other setting, leaving areas underneath tables, beds, desks, etc., as safe havens for the growth of C. diff, MRSA, and other harmful pathogens. A Hydrolyte® spray, on the other hand, is able to completely cover all surfaces.
Cleaners/Degreasers
Common household cleaners, while effective at removing large particles such as dust, soil, foods/beverages, and organic matter, leave microorganisms behind even on surfaces that appear clean. As an EPA registered disinfecting solution, Hydrolyte® penetrates beyond the large particles and kills very small microorganisms within minutes of exposure.
