What Else Can Hypochlorous Acid Do?
You may already know that hypochlorous acid spray is a powerful cleaning agent used in homes, schools, and workplaces across Canada. But HOCl has many more uses beyond just cleaning surfaces. In this blog, we’ll explore some of the ways our Other Hypochlorous Acid Collection can support your everyday routines, from refreshing the air to deodorizing tools and even cleaning hard-to-reach items like mouth guards or baby accessories.
HOCl for the Air: A Fresh Take on Odour Control
Not all odours come from dirt — sometimes they’re caused by bacteria floating in the air or settling on soft surfaces. Our hypochlorous acid sprays can help neutralize odours without masking them with artificial scents. Unlike many air fresheners that use chemicals or perfumes, HOCl works by breaking down the source of the smell.
Whether it’s a musty bathroom, a sweaty gym bag, or pet odours in the car, a few mists of HOCl can help freshen up the space safely. And since it’s non-toxic and safe around kids and pets, it’s ideal for use throughout your home.
HOCl for Tools, Brushes, and Gear
Have makeup brushes, sports mouth guards, hair tools, or yoga mats that need a quick clean? Our Other Hypochlorous Acid Collection includes gentle sprays designed to help reduce buildup and odour without harsh chemicals. These products are especially helpful for items that come into close contact with skin, gums, or hair — places where residue from traditional cleaners just isn’t safe.
HOCl can also be used to clean tweezers, nail clippers, or personal grooming tools. Just spray and let air dry — no rinsing needed.
Safe Around Delicate Items
HOCl is known for its ability to kill 99.9% of bacteria while remaining gentle on surfaces. That’s why many families trust it to clean pacifiers, teethers, lunchboxes, or even phones. While our Surface Cleaner & Disinfectant products are Health Canada–approved for hard surfaces, many of the other HOCl sprays are suitable for quick cleaning jobs where soap and water aren’t practical.
Always Hypochlorous Acid. Always Canadian.
Every product in our Other Hypochlorous Acid Collection is made in Canada and shipped from Canada. We don’t sell outside the country — CleanSmart Canada exists to serve Canadians with safer, smarter cleaning and wellness solutions. For questions about any of our products, visit our Contact Us page.
