We have made the decision to cease
Chlorfexis business operations so we can devote our
bandwidth to the exponential growth of our 44-year-old
global company (www.Auralex.com)
and the important work of our animal charity foundation,
which cares for special-needs animals.
We are selling off our remaining inventory
at reduced prices.
We have left a few dozen cases of (12)
24-count bottles of disinfectant tablets and when they're
gone, they're gone, so get 'em while they're hot.
We're selling individual bottles and cases. The cases
are $120 off our regular selling price and include free USPS
Priority Mail shipping to all 50 states.

*Note: As we wind down Chlorfexis,
LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Four On The Floor Pet
Products, Inc., founded 1988, we are discontinuing bank
accounts, credit processing services, dedicated PayPal
account, telephone numbers, etc., for Chlorfexis. As
such, your purchase of our remaining inventory will be
processed through Four On The Floor Pet Products, Inc., dba
Doodoo Voodoo. Don't freak out if you see these names on
your credit card statement...and please do not dispute the
charge, which really makes life difficult on our end.
The bottles are not Chlorfexis-labeled, but rather our
manufacturing partner's brand Effersan.
All About Chlorfexis, LLC's Disinfectant Tablets:
Founded in early 2020 and in the works
even before the pandemic hit, Chlorfexis has been in the
business of providing natural disinfectant tablets* foggers,
specialized bottles and dry wipes to medical professionals
and consumers throughout the USA and Canada.
We've been distributing a particular
brand of disinfectant tablets to the healthcare, educational
and industrial markets in the US and Canada, and are now selling off our
remaining inventory of 24-count bottles by the case of (12)
bottles. Each case yields 288 quarts (72 gallons!) of
"nature's disinfectant" at just $1.04 per quart, with free
shipping to all 50 states. You just add a tablet to a
quart sprayer bottle or two or more tablets per gallon, and
they dissolve and yield hypochlorous acid, which is a
virtually perfect disinfectant. It's safe and
effective, and is what your own body produces to fight
pathogens.
We are not shipping
to Canada any longer, but will gladly ship to your affiliate
in the continental USA and they can arrange shipping on to
you.
The US Navy Hospital Ship COMFORT These are the same tablets we provided personnel on the
US Navy Hospital Ship Comfort when it was docked in
New York harbor at the beginning of the pandemic. They
used our hypochlorous solution in their intensive care unit.
Contrary to some people's view, the Comfort did
indeed get used a lot. I know this for a fact because
I know someone who worked with very sick patients aboard the
Comfort.
The Future Of Disinfecting Your Space:
Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)
As you'll learn in the coming minutes, this world-class disinfectant
is what you should be using in your home, office, vehicle and more.
And generating it with our dissolve-in-water tablets is how you
should be doing it.
When dissolved in hard or soft tap water, the
tablets shown above yield hypochlorous acid, abbreviated HOCl, which
might sound scary, but isn't at all. In fact, it's the
substance your own body makes to fight off infection.
From OptometryTimes:
From WoundsResearch.com:
Further, WoundResearch.com stated: "HOCl has
antibiofilm activity and actively penetrated through the biofilm and
killed the microorganism within the biofilm...All the microorganisms
were killed within 0 minutes. The accurate killing time of HOCl on
green fluorescent protein (GFP) expressing P. aeruginosa was 12
seconds."
It's a clear liquid that smells lightly of
chlorine, like a swimming pool. Hypochlorous is the active
molecule in bleach, but it has none of bleach's bad habits; I call
it "Bleach's Smarter Sister"™. An analogy would be that we
threw away the oyster shell and kept the pearl. People say
that it smells "fresh...clean...and sanitized."
Lab-Tested Way More Effective Than Bleach
Hypochlorous is laboratory proven to be up to 300X
better at disinfecting than bleach. Hard to believe?
Believe it. The reason is simple. To a pathogen, bleach is scary, so
pathogens don't "invite bleach in" like they do hypochlorous, which
to them looks like plain water. Once a pathogen invites
hypochlorous in, hypochlorous disintegrates the pathogen. As
we like to say, "The Dead Can't Mutate™," so pathogens don't develop
resistance to hypochlorous like they can to other disinfectants and
sanitizers.
It's Science, But It Works Like Magic!®
How Can Something So Strong Be So Gentle?
Nature knows what it's doing, so it designed hypochlorous to be pH neutral,
making it safe
for people and pets. But it is a really strong oxidizer and kills a
long list of pathogens, including Ebola, Canine Parvovirus,
Norovirus, SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and more. It
kills 99.999% of bacteria in 60 seconds and is certified to kill the
fungus that causes Athlete's Foot and ringworm. Hypochlorous
is what was used in Africa during the Ebola crisis. I've read
research on the NIH site saying that hypochlorous kills many things on contact
and that it has never failed to kill what it was tested against in
the laboratory. Even with this extreme germ-killing power,
it's so gentle that it's an ingredient in both human and veterinary
medications (including ophthalmic medicines),
and it's widely used in emergency medicine as a wound treatment for
humans and animals.
EPA-Approved Wording, Kill Claims And
Dilution Chart
The tablet we distribute is EPA registered as a sanitizer at 200ppm
and a disinfectant at 1300ppm, and is classified as bactericidal,
virucidal (inactivates viruses) and
fungicidal. Kill 99.999% (5-log reduction) of bacteria in 60
seconds. Controls bacteria and algae. Mild, non-irritating solution.
Avoids “staining” and is fabric-friendly. Dissolvable in hard or
soft potable water (tap, preferably; not distilled, RO, alkaline,
etc.). Sanitizes, disinfects and protects against odor. Sanitizes
pre-cleaned, hard, nonporous food-contact surfaces in 1 minute; is a
no-rinse sanitizer. Disinfects pre-cleaned hard, nonporous surfaces
in 5 minutes.
At 200ppm available chlorine, this product is an effective sanitizer
against Campylobacter jejuni (ATCC 29428), Vibrio cholerae (ATCC
11623), Escherichia coli O157:H7 (ATCC 35150), Klebsiella pneumoniae
(ATCC 4352), Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19117), Yersinia
enterocolitica (ATCC 23715), Shigella sonnei (ATCC 25931),
Salmonella typhi (ATCC 6539) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC6538) in
1 minute.
At 1300ppm available chlorine, this product is an effective
disinfectant against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus,
Salmonella enterica (formerly choleraesuis), Norovirus (Feline
Calicivirus as surrogate virus for Norovirus), Canine parvovirus,
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), 2009-H1N1 Influenza A virus
(Novel H1N1) and Trichophyton mentagrophytes (common cause of
Athlete’s Foot) in 5 minutes. Kills 99.999% of bacteria in 60
seconds.
This product qualifies for emerging viral pathogen claims per the
EPA’s “Guidance to Registrants: Process for Making Claims Against
Emerging Viral Pathogens not on EPA-Registered Disinfectant Labels”
when used in accordance with the appropriate directions indicated
below.
COVID-19 is caused by SARS-CoV-2. This product kills similar viruses
and therefore can be used against SARS-CoV-2 when used in accordance
with the directions for use against Norovirus (Feline Calicivirus as
surrogate) (ATCC VR-782) and Canine parvovirus on hard, non-porous
surfaces. Refer to the CDC or OIE website for additional
information.
Speaking Of The Coronavirus
The EPA knows a lot about pathogens and the disinfectants that kill
them. It knows that if a product kills X, it will also kill Y,
so it publishes guidelines as to how to correlate known kill claims
(which is what they're officially called) to extrapolated kill
claims. Here is what the EPA says about our tablets with
regard to the current coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and other emerging
viral pathogens that might occur:
How Effective Is It?
Hypochlorous is what I consider nature's perfect disinfectant.
This is, in my experienced opinion, the most effective, easiest,
most affordable and safest disinfectant you'll ever find.
Here is a one-page discussion, with meter
readings, about how effective a killer our hypochlorous acid is:
Hypochlorous_ATP.pdf
Many have asked if they should buy an ATP
meter. I don't necessarily think so, but having a meter and
verifying the kill efficacy of the solution you make with our
tablets gives you peace of mind and also helps you know whether the
person who made the solution did it properly, whether it's too old,
whether it has set in the sun, etc. Satisfying yourself as to
efficacy and consistency translates to a better story to use in
marketing of your business, if applicable.
Here's a shot of our expensive ATP
meter showing zero germs on my kitchen floor after cleaning
with our hypochlorous solution:
You should also consider buying some
strips to test your tablet-made solution. Not because the
tablets are to be doubted; their manufacture is governed by the EPA,
which certifies them and inspects the manufacturing facility. Rather, it's
so you can have absolute peace of mind and, most importantly, can
verify that your was made properly and still exhibits efficacy.
As I have mentioned to numerous customers: "Trust and test."
Definitions Of Cleaning, Sanitizing,
Disinfecting & Sterilizing
Some people use the terms Cleaning, Sanitizing, Disinfecting,
Sterilizing interchangeably (ok, a lot of people do), but there are
official differences among them about which you should be aware.
Cleaning removes soil, but does not kill germs. Now, having
said that, the more organic material you remove, inherently the less
ATP there will be, so you’re sorta doing an end-around.
Sanitizing, some say, is just a fancier word for cleaning, in
that it only indicates that a certain amount of killing of bacteria
is occurring within 30 seconds, but which does not address the
killing/inactivation of viruses or fungi.
You might see sanitizers listed as killing 99% or 99.9% of germs,
but you need to know against what. Sanitizing can apply to a hard or
soft surface.
Disinfecting kills or inactivates essentially all *harmful*
microorganisms, typically at a rate greater than 99.9%. It does
address the killing/inactivating of viruses and fungi in addition to
killing bacteria. Not all disinfectants are awarded EPA kill
claims for all pathogens, nor with the same amount of contact time.
The term disinfecting only applies to a hard surface; you cannot
officially disinfect, say, a couch or carpeting.
Sterilizing is the killing of all living microorganisms on a
hard surface, such as on a surgical instrument that is intended for
introduction into a living being's body.
By the way, all those 9s you see are calculated by the testing labs
who assess disinfectants. The number of 9s indicates the “log” kill
of a product. 99.9% is a 3-log reduction, 99.99% is a 4-log
reduction and 99.999% is a 5-log reduction. Our tablets are
certified to kill 99.999% of bacteria in 60 seconds, which is a
5-log reduction.
Our Strength vs. Others'
Solution made with Chlorfexis's tablets is much stronger than almost
all others. The numbers here indicate parts per million (ppm)
of available chlorine:
Speaking Of PPMs Let’s talk ppms for a minute, as they’re all over the map out
there and I want you to be clear.
I realize that it might be confusing to you that there are machines
that cost many, many thousands of dollars (I’ve seen machines that
were $120K or more) and yet which only produce 30-50ppm
hypochlorous. I know of products that test at 30ppm, 48ppm, 50ppm,
80ppm, 100ppm, 120ppm, 170ppm and one is talking about
tablet-generated solution, over 2000ppm. I have, in R&D with our
machines, made 2500ppm solution. So, what gives with the ginormous
disparity among the various ppms?
On the one hand, I’ve seen published research that showed kill down
to 30ppm, but on the other hand I’ve seen lab data showing that it
takes 10,000ppm to neutralize human blood spills in a hospital
setting.
I go back to three things: speed, breadth of kills and cost.
30ppm isn’t likely strong enough to neutralize blood spills no
matter how long the contact time, but will it kill some of the
weaker pathogens? Sure. But I want something that kills/inactivates
a broad range of pathogens, does it fast and does it cheaply. So do
you.
Our tablets check all three boxes. You can have what
is likely the world’s most effective disinfectant solution; one that
kills/inactivates a long list of pathogens, including, according to
the EPA, SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus responsible for the
pandemic), and it does so in seconds to minutes for around a buck or
less, including free shipping.
I get a lot of people asking me about diluting hypochlorous, either
by putting X number of tablets in more water or by dissolving a
tablet(s) in water and then cutting the solution by adding more tap
water. I'm not generally in favor of this, as I don't often see a detriment to using a stronger-ppm solution
instead of a lesser-ppm one. Now, if we're talking about
surfaces where food might be, then a post-disinfecting rinsing
(wiping) with water is indicated...or you should determine if a
more-diluted 200ppm is acceptable for your sanitizing need; at
200ppm or below, no rinsing is required per the EPA. Regarding
using a stronger solution, I told a medical professional during
a phone meeting in which we were discussing this topic: “It’s like
being a little bit pregnant. How safe an environment do you want to
provide yourself, your staff and your patients? How many pathogens
are ok with you—especially when you’d literally only be saving
pennies by diluting to a weaker ppm?”
I also am opposed to diluting by adding water after the fact
because of how intricate
and exacting the dance is between pH and ppm. One has to get a lot
of things right to end up with a neutral pH, but a super-strong ppm,
and which will stay stable in solution. Given the pH of city tap
water and its known variability, I think that throwing it into an
already-formed solution is playing with fire with regard to pH, ppm,
efficacy and stability.
I like the peace of mind I get from using a strong solution that I
know is stable and which my ATP meter (which basically measures germs) has proven to me kills well and quickly, and which my
real-world experience has shown me is, properly containered and
stored, Stability-Optimized™.
You will, too. ;-)
And, if you're a doctor, daycare, vet
clinic or any other business that depends on the public's visiting
your facility, you can use this information as a selling feature in
your marketing, thus giving your customers, clients and patients a
ton of peace of mind and enlarging their perception of your brand.
Dilution Ratios Not every job requires the same hospital-grade disinfection that
our product can provide; there are instances where sanitizing (see
the definition above) may be sufficient. Here are common
dilution ratios, both those acknowledged by the EPA and ones that
some folks may desire on their own and which I've included here for
convenience.
Where
Have You Been All My Life?
You may be thinking: Why have I never heard of this before?
That's a valid question, but one that has a simple answer:
hypochlorous acid is a fantastic disinfectant, but its molecule is
what the chemists would call "unstable," meaning that it is
susceptible to degradation from exposure to light and that it
doesn't have an unlimited shelf-life. Hypochlorous was
discovered nearly 190 years ago by a French scientist, but its
instability is what kept it from attaining mainstream acceptance.
In recent years, though, the chemists have figured out how to
improve the stability and some of us have figured out how to
Stability-Optimize™ the containers so they can help maintain, and
even extend, the
shelf-life of our hypochlorous.
How To Use Hypochlorous Effectively: Differences Among Spray, Wipe, Mop, Mist, Fog & Electrostatic
Coating
How you apply the hypochlorous you make with our tablets depends on
the type of hard surface you’re desiring to sanitize or disinfect.
Is it a computer keyboard, an epoxy floor, a vehicle, a countertop,
an exam chair, supplies you bought at the warehouse club and which
might harbor pathogens, what?
Spraying With A
Trigger Sprayer Bottle Or A
Home & Garden Pump-Up Sprayer
If I’m doing a desk, kitchen counter, doorknob, bathroom floor,
sink, faucet, toilet handle, etc., I likely am spraying with a
trigger sprayer bottle and, in some cases, wiping with one of our
Chlorfexis DriWipes™, a microfiber cloth, a paper towel or a washcloth. I’m
almost never wiping a surface completely dry, as this precludes the
lengthy contact time recommended for killing and inactivation.
We
are introducing a rechargeable portable sprayer for a very
affordable price. It is called the MobiMIST™ and you can see
pricing below. Please
click here for a
PDF covering the device and its features.
Wiping
There are times when it’s more convenient and yields more control to
wipe a surface with a wetted Chlorfexis DriWipe™. You can also pour solution in a small bucket (2qt.?)
and dip wipes, washcloths, paper towels or microfiber cloths in the
solution, then wipe. The solution kills so well that we don’t often
fixate on “contaminating” the solution, assuming we're using it all
in one session.
Mopping Dissolve tablets in a bucket or mop bucket, then
mop. Super easy. We also dearly love the Hoover FloorMate
hard-surface machine, which we own half a dozen of. It is simple and fast to use, and really effective on tile, vinyl,
hardwood, laminate, you name it. Be sure to rinse the machine out
with warm water at the end of use to clean the rubber seals, which
can dry over time with any solution, including hypochlorous. It
takes just minutes to do a room with the FloorMate and the light,
fresh
scent screams “clean and disinfected!” We spray the floor with a
pump sprayer, let the solution dwell, then run the FloorMate.
Whereas conventional mopping actually leaves soil and residue, the Hoover
extracts it all away and you just flush it down the toilet. Done.
Misting & Fogging
These are effective, but some types, depending on the spray
tip, can put a lot of hypochlorous in the
air, so wear proper breathing protection if bothered, particularly for
bigger jobs. Use ventilation if you deem it
beneficial.
Electrostatic Coating
This is an extremely effective methodology. Electrostatically charged solution
is, in essence, “magnetized” so that it will seek out and adhere to
surfaces. It is for this reason that an electrostatic treatment
actually wraps around the back of small objects; this is way cool to
watch happen and really helps lessen the time it takes to do the
application. You do have to be careful about what you’re spraying
(computers, etc.); though I’ve seen these items electrostatically
sprayed without harm, I urge caution. If you own an electrostatic,
dissolve one of our tablets in the tank and go to town. Super easy and
super effective.
Wash Those Hands For 20 Seconds...Or Spray
Them
Hypochlorous has been proven in laboratory testing to be more
effective a handwashing solution than medicated soap and iodine
solution. Personally, I use it as a hand sanitizer many times a day, and
have for years. As my wife, the retired ICU and OTU nurse, says:
"Your hands are only as clean as the last surface you touched."
Indeed. Note: this research was not conducted with our
product, so consider this generalized information. Further, this
is off-label usage that would officially be governed by the FDA. You make the decision as to whether this usage is
right for you, but there are FDA-approved hypochlorous hand
cleaners.
So Safe & Effective That We Use It In Our
Animal Rescue Facility
As I mentioned before, hypochlorous solution is safe for people and pets. We have
used it almost exclusively to clean and disinfect our charity's
special-needs animal rescue facility for years, without any ill
effects. These are animals with very compromised health, and of
course we would never do anything to endanger them. They
tolerate our hypochlorous perfectly, unlike some other products we
used before. How we got involved with hypochlorous in the
first place can be read
here. If
you'd like to become familiar with us and our background, you can
learn about us here.
You'll be pleased to know that your purchase
of our products helps support our animal charity foundation and
provide for needy animals.
You've Seen Stories About Spraying Subway
Cars And All That?
Some of the spraying and fogging you've heard about during the
pandemic has been done using hypochlorous acid, so you know that
this product has world-class disinfecting power.
In Japan, restaurant patrons walked
through a hypochlorous mist as they entered establishments.
A Study In The UK On Hypochlorous For
Removing Biofilm In Dental Water Lines Even if you're not a dentist, you've probably heard the phrase
"biofilm." It's basically a mesh of bacteria that link
together on the surface of an object and keep most disinfectants
from doing an effective job. Here is a link to a
PDF
containing information from a study conducted in Britain by the
British Dental Society, as published in the British Dental
Journal. Even to us non-dentists, the electron microscope
photos are compelling.
This Stuff Must Be Expensive.
NOT.
Perhaps best of all is that it is extremely affordable. How
affordable? So much so that you'll only have around a buck or
less in each quart. We're thrilled to be able to help you
experience what may be nature's perfect disinfectant, and for such a
reasonable price.
Methods Of Hypochlorous Acid Production
You
should know what your options are before deciding that our way is
the best way, which you will. Here are 5, though there are more
that I do not deem appropriate for many people's needs. There are
unscrupulous people in this industry, some of whom have been sued
and some of whom have paid VERY large fines to the government. Some
make false claims that we could sue them over. Some do not have
legal authorization to do what they’re doing, nor licensure in all
50 states. Some have evaded answering my questions. So, tread
carefully.
1. Industrial Units
These use a kind of salt, vinegar and expensive machinery to split
molecules and do all kinds of fancy stuff. The machines that do a
good job can be six figures. We own a machine that is not quite that
expensive, but wasn’t cheap and which will generate 350 gallons of
hypochlorous a day. These machines tend to be dual-stream, which
means that they also put out the very caustic/dangerous sodium
hydroxide as a byproduct, thus eating up half your production output
capability and burdening the environment. There is a concern about
chlorine gas production when using these machines, in my opinion. I
have shelf-life stability concerns, based on my own experience.
2. Countertop Units Of The Expensive Kind
Some of these are a few thousand dollars; we own 26 of them and can
produce many hundreds of gallons of EPA registered hypochlorous a
day with these EPA registered machines. They require a special,
expensive electrolyte solution and take 18 minutes for every 2L of
output, plus the setup and post-brew testing time; you’ll have
nearly a half hour tied up in each 2L brew. The machines are known
to fail; I’ve experienced this and I believe there may have been a
lawsuit about it in the past. Drop the special pitcher and a
replacement will cost you nearly $400. I have concerns that this
method doesn’t yield shelf-life chemical stability like our
tablet-generated solution,
based on my personal experience. Don't misconstrue my
comments; I'm not 100% opposed to these units, but I don't think
they're the right solution for every customer.
3. Countertop Units Of The Less Expensive
Kind
I have owned a number of these and many failed. They make
much-lower-ppm solution than the expensive units and some require
you to buy packets of electrolyte. The cheaper units only make a
very small amount of hypochlorous at one time; as little as 16oz or
less in some cases. Some don’t require electrolyte solution, but
require salt and vinegar; these will make up to 1.5L at a time, I
think. Their internal parts/chemistry can wear out/deplete over time
and you have to replace the units. We own two of the best of these machines and like
them ok, but their output is quite weak by comparison to our
tablet-generated solution. None of these
units works in a power failure, which is when you may need
hypochlorous most. Again, I have shelf-life stability concerns based
on experience. And
don’t get me started on the cheap Oriental import units.
4. Buying Pre-Made Solution
I don’t like this option, as it is expensive (up to $65.95 a gallon
as of the date I am writing this, and that’s for an RTU solution,
not a concentrate), weak in some cases and there are too many
variables for my liking. I worry that the solution will degrade
during transit time and exposure to heat. It’s too easy to run out
and there is lag between ordering and receiving a shipment. You have
less ability to properly dilute the solution if you decide to. I
have dramatic shelf-life stability concerns, even more than with the
above.
5. Your Best Option: Onsite Generation By
Dissolving Special Tablets > Hypochlorous Acid
This is by FAR the fastest, safest, most consistent, least
expensive, most flexible and freshest option. You have control over
when and how strong you make your own solution, and you have
absolute control over the quality thereof. This option yields
ENORMOUS cost savings, as each quart of hypochlorous can cost you
around a buck or less. The shelf life of the tablets is at least 3
years. You can use either hard or soft potable water. Trust me when
I tell you that there is no downside to buying tablets from us and
making your own hypochlorous acid, particularly when you factor in
the optimized containers we make available that dramatically extend
the shelf-life stability of the hypochlorous solution. It took us
years to figure out these optimized containers and you’ll appreciate
our having done so. Tablets are also far more environmentally
friendly because we're not shipping water. (In fact, the
solution reverts to water after it does its job, so it's totally
biodegradable.) Tablets really reduce your carbon footprint,
too.
Trust
Me: Our Product Is Every Bit As Good As I Say It Is
This miracle product may sound too good to be true, but it is
absolutely the real deal. I have built numerous companies on
the Golden Rule, and I've given college lectures on ethics in
business, so believe me when I tell you that our product is the best
it can be and the best we think you could hope for. I'm known to never
"sell" people, but rather to gently educate and let them make their
own decisions. Now you can have hospital-grade disinfection in
your home, school, house of worship, office, animal facility,
nursing home, vehicle and more—and for just pennies per application.
