How to disinfect
- Clean first: wash off dirt with detergent – chlorine works best on a clean surface.
- Prepare: wear gloves; pour water into a plastic bucket, then add the measured hypo and stir.
- Apply: mop, spray or wipe until the surface is fully wet.
- Wait: leave for the contact time in the chart – do not wipe dry immediately.
- Rinse: surfaces that touch food, and steel or metal, with clean water.

Where not to use
- Marble, natural stone, aluminium and unsealed metal – may etch or corrode.
- Coloured fabrics, carpets, wood, leather and painted surfaces – it removes colour.
- Never neat (undiluted) on surfaces, and never on skin.
Safety & storage
- Never mix with acids, toilet cleaners, vinegar, phenyl or ammonia – dangerous chlorine gas forms.
- Wear gloves and goggles. Use in a ventilated area. If it gets in the eyes, rinse with water for 15 minutes.
- Store tightly closed in a cool, shaded place away from sunlight – heat and light reduce strength.
- Keep away from children and pets. Not for drinking.
