About disinfectant.org

Our goal is simple: build the most useful, most trustworthy resource on hypochlorous acid anywhere on the internet.

Evidence first

Every efficacy number comes with its study: organism, concentration, pH, contact time and a DOI or PubMed link.

Plain language

We translate lab results into practical guidance for kitchens, clinics, farms, vets, gyms and homes.

Honest about limits

HOCl isn’t perfect. We cover the studies where it struggled, like spores in dirty conditions and Candida biofilms, as clearly as its strengths.

Our mission

Hypochlorous acid is a well-studied disinfectant, yet clear, well-sourced information about it is scattered across journals, regulations and marketing copy. disinfectant.org brings it together in one place, explained clearly and updated daily.

Editorial standards

  • Citations required: numbers (ppm, contact times, log reductions) always cite a primary source, with the conditions they were tested under.
  • Study-level language: we describe what a study found, never what a product will do.
  • Source checks: every statement is checked against the source it cites before publishing.
  • No overclaiming: no absolute, superlative or “grade” claims, and no comparison without a source.
  • Dated & updated: every article shows its publish and last-updated dates.
