BRIOTECH Extra Strength HOCl Cleaner 500 PPM - Concentrate for Fogging

In this review the reviewer tested BRIOTECH Extra Strength HOCl Cleaner to see who benefits most from a concentrated hypochlorous acid solution for fogging and deodorizing. The bottom line: this 500 ppm concentrate is aimed at facilities and homeowners who need a ready-to-dilute, residue free disinfectant that works with ULV foggers, cool mist humidifiers, and electrostatic sprayers; the single biggest reason to buy is the flexibility to treat large areas without harsh fumes or PPE requirements. The reviewer found it especially useful for deodorizing and surface sanitation in busy shared spaces.

Key Features

• Extra strength HOCl: A 500 ppm hypochlorous acid concentrate provides a professional-grade disinfectant strength suitable for heavy deodorizing and germ control.
• High volume application: Designed for foggers, humidifiers, and sprayers so one solution can cover wide areas efficiently when treating rooms, gym floors, or office suites.
• Residue free and flexible: The concentrate dilutes to different strengths for spot work or broad fogging and leaves no visible residue on hard surfaces.
• Peroxide and harsh chemical free: Formulated without alcohol, bleach, chlorine, ammonia, parabens, preservatives, sulfates, fragrances, or dyes to avoid strong fumes.
• No PPE required: The manufacturer indicates handling does not require gloves, goggles, or masks for routine use, simplifying deployment in busy environments.

Who It's For

This concentrate is best for janitorial teams, dental and medical offices, schools, gyms, and business owners who use ULV foggers or electrostatic sprayers to treat rooms quickly and want a solution that is gentle on people and pets. It also fits homeowners with humidifiers who want to deodorize or sanitize larger spaces safely.

It may not be ideal for cleaning soft surfaces long term, as the product is described for hard surfaces and fogging; users seeking a scented household cleaner or a fabric-specific product should look elsewhere. Those who require enzyme cleaners or stain-specific formulations should consider specialized alternatives.
