In the pandemic era, safer cleaning alternatives have been pushed aside in favor of bleach and strong antibacterial disinfectants. Disinfectants play a role in preventing the spread of germs; however, disinfectants come with additional risks and/or health problems so learning how and when to properly use them is especially important. Safer and non-toxic disinfectants include hydrogen peroxide & EPA approved disinfectants like Force of Nature and Clean Republic which use sodium chloride and hypochlorous acid.
