Gard'nClean Liquid Disinfectant & Sanitizer

Great for mycology! Kills more pathogens than 70% ISO alcohol, less expensive, and less wait time (works in seconds, not minutes).

Easy to use. Leaves No Residue.

When used as directed, on hard non-porous surfaces, Gard'nClean Liquid is an effective Disinfectant | Sanitizer | Tuberculacide | Virucide* | Algaecide | Slimicide | Fungicide | Deodorizer | Plant and Crop Bactericide | General-Purpose Antimicrobial | Cleaner for a wide range of applications.

Gard’nClean Liquid simplifies processes by utilizing one product for:

• Hard Surface Sanitation (Food and Non-Food Contact)
• Hard Surface Disinfection
• Water System Sanitation & Disinfection
• Water Treatment
• Fruit and Vegetable Wash

Gard’nClean GC-2 generates 500 parts per million (ppm) of chlorine dioxide in 2 liters of water, or 2 liters of a 0.05% chlorine dioxide solution.

Overview: The product is designed to generate chlorine dioxide gas in water. Immersing the product in water initiates the reaction between the precursor chemicals, which results in 1 gram of chlorine dioxide. The concentration created is volume dependent. For example, when generated in 2 liters, the product will yield 500 ppm, but when generated in 10 liters yields 100 ppm (0.01% solution). The product’s proprietary membrane is designed to contain the precursor chemicals as well as any by-products caused by the chemical reaction, while allowing chlorine dioxide to escape into the surrounding water. This process results in a pure solution, with a neutral pH.

Product Applications: Disinfects water lines and tanks, sanitizes and disinfects hard, non-porous surfaces, disinfects food processing equipment in food processing plants, restaurants, dairies, beverage and bottling plants, breweries, horticultural and hydroponic facilities, and wineries. Please see our product technical bulletin for a full list of applications.

Directions For Use:

This material is not a replacement for the product label. It is a violation of Federal Law to use EPA registered products in a manner inconsistent with the product labeling. Read the entire product label and use strictly in accordance with precautionary statements and use.

1. Open the package, ensuring the envelope inside is not cut. Discard desiccant.
2. Immerse (submerge) the envelope in container with water.
3. Close/seal container tightly.
4. Container interior should be dark and resistant to oxidation. See Technical Bulletin for recommendations regarding amount of water, contact times and dilutions for specific applications, and recommended container specifications.
5. WAIT AT LEAST 2 HOURS BEFORE USE TO ENSURE SOLUTION REACHES FULL STRENGTH.
6. DO NOT REMOVE FROM CONTAINER OF WATER PRIOR TO 2 HOURS.
7. Remove from container and mix gently before use. Work in well-ventilated area and avoid inhaling fumes. Wear protective gloves if hands will come into contact with activated solution during dilution or application; wear NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator for chlorine dioxide if working with stock (500 ppm) solution in open container. Remove envelope from container within 24 hours after activation. Do not reuse. Discard envelope according to instructions. Before use, verify concentration with Chlorine Dioxide Test Strips to ensure appropriate concentration (see Technical Bulletin for directions if Test Strips indicate lower-than-desired concentration).
8. Activate prior to expiration date stamped on package. Store unused solution (and/or subsequent dilutions) in a dark, oxidation-resistant closed or sealed container. Record activation date and concentration on stick-on label shipped with the product, and affix to storage container. Store activated solution in cool place out of direct sunlight (do not store in refrigerator dedicated to food storage).

Note: We recommend verifying concentration using Test Strips. For concentrations above 10 ppm, use Gard’nClean® Wide Range test strips; for concentrations of 10 ppm or less, use Gard’nClean® Low Range test strips.
