Hypochlorous acid for childcare and daycare
Make a cleaning solution on site from salt and water for classrooms, floors, cubbies and other common areas, with no bottled chemicals to order, ship or store.
Intro
Childcare and daycare centers clean classrooms, floors, cubbies, restrooms and shared rooms every day, often in a short window before the next group arrives. Bottled cleaning product has to be ordered, shipped and stored, and closets run out at inconvenient times.
An EWCO system lets you make a cleaning solution on site from salt and water. You make what you need for that evening or that room turn, fill spray bottles per the manual and clean the surfaces you already clean. This page covers floors, tables, chairs, cubbies, restrooms and other common areas. It does not cover use on hands or skin. Keep spray bottles ready for the evening clean, and make a new batch when those run low.
Useful applications

Wipe child-size tables and chairs on your daily schedule. Make a batch on site so you are not waiting on a bottled shipment.
