Hypochlorous acid for senior living
Make a cleaning solution on site from salt and water for lounges, dining areas, corridors and other common spaces, with no bottled chemicals to ship or store.
Intro
Senior living communities clean shared spaces every day: lounges, dining rooms, activity rooms, corridors, the reception desk and restrooms. Bottled cleaning product has to be ordered, shipped and stored, and closets run out when the daily route is long.
An EWCO system lets you make a cleaning solution on site from salt and water. You make what you need for that day's common-area work, fill spray bottles per the manual and clean on the schedule you already use. This page covers common areas only. It does not cover resident rooms or personal care. Keep spray bottles on the cleaning cart and make a new batch when those run low.
