What did I receive? A plastic bottle, 10” tall, about 4½” at its widest point x 2½” thick/deep. How would I describe the bottle? It’s a typical pump spray bottle, except everything is a bit oversized, which makes this easy to use. For instance, instead of a small twist to spray selection nozzle, it’s about (4x) the size, so it’s very easy to turn to select. Further, the pump handle, although not long, is very wide and the control feature excellent. How many ounces does this bottle contain? 32 fluid ounces. Of what? Disinfecting cleaner. Is this for commercial settings or home use? I think it may be geared for commercial use; however, I use it for personal, family, and household type use. Is this effective to clean and disinfect? To some degree, yes. Why to some degree? The instructions are if the area to clean and disinfect is visibly dirty, then pre-cleaning is required. Okay, so what happens after precleaning? The idea is to spray and allow this to remain visibly wet for at least two (2) minutes, then to return and wipe dry. Why? This allows this product to clean and disinfect that area. How about if I just want to do a quick job, to sanitize and deodorize? Same process, but shorter and wiping is optional. How so? So clean visibly soiled areas, spray on and either allow this to air dry or wipe, to sanitize and deodorize the area. Efficacy? Clorox represents that when used as directed, to disinfect, it takes two (2) minutes or less; and, to sanitize, (15) seconds. What else? This spray is touted as being able to kills 99.9% of certain viruses, including COVID-19, in 30 seconds, on condition such is Human Coronavirus, Influenza A Virus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus and SARS-CoV-2 on hard, nonporous surfaces. What kind of surfaces to use this? Clorox directs use on nonporous surfaces. So, will this cut built-up nastiness from dirt, cooking, etc.? Not really, I used another cleaner for that. My use was in follow-up, in hopes to sanitize and deodorize and then, if need be, to allow this to sit longer to disinfect. Sanitizing? Disinfecting? What’s the difference? Sanitizing kills bacteria on surfaces, but not viruses. Disinfecting kills viruses and bacteria on surfaces. This will do both, depending on its being sprayed on and allowing to remain wait for a specific amount of time. Remember, clean visible gunk first, then sanitize or disinfect that surface; and that’s how I used this. What’s the shelf-life of this? Clorox advertises (24) months. Was there a date on this as to when it was made? There was a number code, but I did not readily see a date specific. So, why is this special. It is supposed to kill bacteria and certain viruses. This is an EcoClean™ product. What does that mean EcoClean™? Clorox EcoClean™ products offer the Clorox standard I know and trust along with the EPA’s Safer Choice and Design for the Environment certified ingredients that helps meet my own sustainability wishes. How so? Recycled plastic is used. What’s in there? It’s made from plant-based cleaning products. So how does this smell? Smells like lemon zest. Which I thought pleasant. I do not use this on surfaces that would come into contact with food. If so, there are special instructions on what to do. Is this a name brand? Yes, Clorox has been a household name for over (100) years. Why is that important? It’s important to me, as I know I have a US company that can answer for its products. Weight? The bottle weighed in at (2) pounds and (4) ounces. Bottom-line? Would I select this again? Absolutely, yes. I hope my thoughts were informative.
