Hypochlorous Scent and Questions About Bleach:
Hypochlorous has a unique faint smell that is undetectable to some users, while some equate it to a spa or the ocean, while some confuse it with a faint bleach smell.
Hypochlorous (HOCL) is not bleach. Laundry bleach is actually Sodium Hypochlorite (naCIO).
More Comparisons and Facts to Know:
Natural: “Bleach” (Sodium Hypochlorite) is a man-made chemical never found in nature; Hypochlorous is naturally in all mammals’ immune systems.
Safety: “Bleach” as a germ-killing disinfectant is legally required to have multiple warnings and safety hazard precautions on their labels. Hypochlorous germ-killing disinfectants are exempt from warnings and first aid labels.
Fumes: “Bleach” fumes are dangerous causing irritation and serious damage to respiratory systems and eyes. Hypochlorous has zero dangers with respiratory systems or eyes.
