Electrolyzed Water: Technology That’s Changing How We Clean & Disinfect

The way we clean and disinfect is not safe or sustainable, particularly in healthcare and other facilities where people are at higher risk of infection. To raise awareness about the harms of commonly used cleaning chemicals and to educate on a safer, more effective alternative, we hosted a live, virtual conversation between professionals in healthcare support services, chemical testing specialists, and experts of electrolyzed water solutions.

In this session, you’ll learn why change in our approach to commercial cleaning and disinfecting is necessary, review concerns with regard to chemical toxicity and sustainability, and discover a safe, sustainable and highly effective alternative with electrolyzed water cleaning and disinfecting solutions. We will also cover the advantages of using electrolyzed water solutions in specific high-risk environments (healthcare, senior living, food production, etc.).
