Question 15

MANY CLEANING PRODUCTS CLAIM TO BE DISINFECTANTS, BUT AS A CONSUMER, HOW DO I KNOW THAT NEUTRA-LYZE REALLY KILLS GERMS?"

Accepted Answer

"Disinfectant" is a legal term that can only be stated on product labels that have been proven to kill 99.99% of specific pathogens. These tests are predetermined by Health Canada. In addition to germ kill data, scientists review the product for other characteristics such as: how toxic the product is to our environment, directions for safe and effective application, storage, disposal and handling plus a complete review of the health and safety profile of the product. When the Health Canada is satisfied with all the scientific data, the product is registered and issued a DIN number. The product can now be called a disinfectant. The DIN number for Neutra-Lyze Disinfectant is 02449536.

Question 16

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLEANERS AND DISINFECTANTS?

Accepted Answer

Cleaners are not registered with Health Canada and do not require registration to be sold into the marketplace. Cleaning products do not kill germs and cannot make any public health claims on their labels that they do kill germs. Watch out for "antimicrobial" cleaners or other marketing terms that allude to killing germs. A good rule of thumb to distinguish between cleaners and disinfectant is to make sure the product has a DIN or EPA number on the label. If there isn't an DIN or EPA number on the label, be safe and just use the product to clean up dirt and other organic matter.

Question 17

CAN I CLEAN AND DISINFECT IN ONE STEP?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as the surface to be disinfected is not excessively dirty. Our disinfectants are tested with a 5% organic load on the surface to simulate real life use, so they will be effective on a lightly soiled surface (and Neutra-Lyze has been formulated to break down and penetrate through even more debris). If there is visible debris/dirt, it is necessary to “pre-clean” to remove this prior to application because debris can be a physical barrier preventing contact with the organisms and preventing the product from working. 
It is best to use some of the Envirowise’s Ultrazyme Multi-Purpose Cleaner or Grimebuster Degreaser to first clean up the visible dirt, so the disinfectant can get to work.  Make sure you read and follow the Health Canada registered Neutra-Lyze label.
