Microbial Cleaner & Deodorizer is scientifically formulated biological cleaner for all surfaces. THIS IS A BLEACH ALTERNATIVE but does not have the odor or hazard characteristics associated with bleach. It is safe for use on most fabrics and will not discolour. (all fabric should be tested for compatibility however and the owner assumes responsibility.) This highly effective surface cleaner will also eliminate all biologic odors caused by organic decay, smoke, fire, sewage, chemicals, mold, mildew, and animals. It chemically destroys the odors and does not simply mask them. It is accumulative with long-lasting residual effects.

Substances of organic nature in bacterial cells react with chlorine dioxide, causing several cellular processes to be interrupted. Chlorine dioxide reacts directly with amino acids and the RNA in the cell. It is not clear whether chlorine dioxide attacks the cell structure or the acids inside the cell. The production of proteins is prevented. Chlorine dioxide affects the cell membrane by changing membrane proteins and fats and by prevention of inhalation.
When bacteria are eliminated, the cell wall is penetrated by chlorine dioxide. Viruses are eliminated in a different way; chlorine dioxide reacts with peptone, a water-soluble substance that originates from hydrolisis of proteins to amino acids. Chlorine dioxide kills viruses by prevention of protein formation. Chlorine dioxide is more effective against viruses than chlorine or ozone.
