Hypochlorous acid for farms and livestock
Make a cleaning solution on site from salt and water for barns, poultry houses, gates and equipment exteriors, without bottled chemicals to ship or store.
Intro
Barns and poultry houses need regular cleaning: aisles, floors, walls, gates and equipment exteriors. Bottled cleaning product has to be hauled in, stored and reordered, which is hard to keep up with on a working farm.
An EWCO system lets you make a cleaning solution on site from salt and water. You make what you need for the spaces you already clean, when you need it. This page covers barns, poultry houses, gates and equipment exteriors. It does not cover use on animals.
Useful applications
Barn aisles and floors
Sweep and mop barn aisles, stall fronts and floors as part of regular cleaning. Make a batch on site for that work.
Poultry houses
When a house is empty, clean floors, walls and doorways. Make the solution on site so you do not have to store a large volume of bottled product.
Gates, doors and rails
Wipe gates, door handles, rails and latch plates in barns, houses and holding areas.
Equipment exteriors
Clean the exteriors of carts, scrapers, buckets and other equipment after use.
Holding pens and corrals
Clean floors, rails and gates in holding pens and corrals when they are empty.
Farm shops and storage
Clean floors, benches, shelves and door handles in the farm shop, tack room and other storage rooms.
Loading ramps and chutes
Wipe loading ramps, chute sides and the exteriors of trailers after use.
Empty barns and houses
When a barn or house is empty, apply the solution with a fogger, following the fogger's own instructions, to reach walls, corners and other areas that are hard to wipe.
Recommended EWCO system(s)
For a small barn, the Eco One Portable Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) Machine makes a 1 liter batch. For a larger farm or poultry house, the Hypo 7.5 Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) Generator makes a 7.5 liter batch.
How it fits your workflow
- Add water, salt and any additive the product manual calls for, then start the cycle.
- Generate the cleaning solution and wait until the cycle finishes, per the manual.
- Fill spray bottles per the manual, or a fogger per the fogger's own instructions.
- Clean barns, poultry houses and equipment exteriors on your normal schedule.
Manual and label note
Always follow the product manual and any applicable regulations for your use. Where your industry's rules require a registered disinfectant, keep using one.
Never mix the solution with ammonia, bleach, strong acids or other cleaners. If someone breathes in fumes or swallows the solution, call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222.
