Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions
How does Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray work?
At LABOLOGY 3, we use high performance Electrochemical Activation Technology that mimics the human immune system to produce effective and stable hypochlorous acid (HOCl). It kills harmful microorganisms by oxidising their cell walls on contact. Our product works in seconds which is why it's the perfect solution for quick, on-the-go sanitising needs.
How is Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray better than other antibacterial products on the market?
Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) is up to 300 times more powerful than bleach, making it a fast acting and super effective sanitiser. Although powerful, it is gentle and contains no alcohol, bleach, fragrance and parabens. This is what makes it so special; it can be used by even the most sensitive skins and lungs. Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray is perfect for the whole family.
How does Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray differ to other Hypochlorous Acid products on the market?
Very few Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) products available for commercial use are actually registered and comply with the Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR). This is the British and European governing body that is internationally recognised. They ensure good manufacturing practices, stability and safety.
Our team of scientists have worked over 13 years to establish BPR compliance meeting the following regulations:
BS EN 1276
BS EN 13704
BS EN 1656
BS EN 14204
BS EN 1500
When you purchase our Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray, you are guaranteed a safe, effective and premium source of HOCl.
How stable is your product?
Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray is naturally stable and contains no artificial stabilisers. To preserve the shelf life from manufacture of our Hypochlorous Acid, we use UV protected bottles and guarantee 12 months stability.
By comparison, most HOCl products claim to offer 3 months shelf life. Our team of scientists put this to the test. They sampled their formulae using the same quality standards that established our 12 month stability. They concluded that, on average, competitors’ formulae loss stability after just 6 weeks!
Do your products contain any harmful chemicals?
No. Our hypochlorous acid is produced from three everyday ingredients: water, food grade salt, and electricity. Nothing else.
Are your products toxic?
All our products are kind to humans, animals and the evironment. They are non-flammable, non-toxic, can be handled without protective equipment and are easy to dispose of.
Our formula has been laboratory-tested as safe for humans, without any health risks. However, it may cause erosion if bought in contact with aluminium and aluminium alloys.
Is Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray safe to use around babies and pets?
Yes. Our product is safe to use around babies (from birth) and pets.
Our formula complies with Biocidal Products Regulation EU528(2012). It is approved PT 1 human hygiene, PT 2 hard surface disinfection, PT 3 Veterinary hygiene, PT 4 hard surface disinfection food industry and PT 5 drinking water.
I accidentally ingested your product. What should I do?
Although we do not advise this product is ingested, accidental ingestion will cause no harm.
However, if you are concerned we recommend you seek medical advice.
Will Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray stain my clothing and fabrics?
Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray does not stain or bleach fabrics. We have undertaken rigorous testing to guarantee this.
Your product smells of swimming pools for a couple of seconds when first sprayed. Why is that?
This smell is produced naturally when the salt and water go through the electro-dialysis process. It lasts for only a couple of seconds with each spray and then becomes neutral.
The HOCl in Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray is not the same as sodium hypochlorite that is used in swimming pools and gives it its distinctive smell.
How and where should I store your products?
Our products are packaged in UV protected bottles. For extra measure, we recommend you store it in a cool, dry place and out of direct sunlight.
What happens if I use your product after the 12 months shelf life?
Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray is still safe to use after it has passed its shelf life. The product slowly destabilises into water and salt, gradually losing its disinfectant potency.
I have very sensitive skin and can be prone to eczema. Will Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray irritate my skin?
No. Unlike other forms of disinfectants like 70% alcohol, Super Antibacterial Sanitiser Spray does not dry the skin out or cause irritation. Our formula is dermatologically tested and is so gentle, it can even be used around babies.
Does your product kill Covid-19?
Covid-19 is a new strain of the coronavirus which has not yet been released for commercial testing. Therefore, any brand making such claims is likely engaging in false advertising*. However, our formula has been tested and proven effective against other strains of coronaviruses such as SARS, which is promising.
The Daily Mail published an article in July 2020 disclosing that HOCl was confirmed in March 2020 as being instrumental in containing the spread of the coronavirus in South Korea.
