Clorox Healthcare announced two new products designed to address critical challenges in infection prevention: Clorox Healthcare Quat Alcohol Disinfecting Wipes and Clorox Healthcare HyperOxi Disinfecting Wipes. These new wipes are designed to address critical needs in healthcare environments, helping improve workflow efficiency and compliance.

The innovations come at a time of rapid change in infection prevention, as facilities face staffing pressures, escalating microbial threats—like C. auris—and increasing operational demands. Most existing quat alcohol wipes have contact times of two minutes or longer and contain high levels of alcohol, creating a compliance challenge: either staff cannot keep surfaces wet for the required contact time, or they must re-wipe surfaces to do so, resulting in added time and labor costs.

Clorox Healthcare Quat Alcohol Disinfecting Wipes are formulated with 40% less alcohol to help keep surfaces wet for the full contact time and support compliant and efficient workflows. The patent-pending, triple-active formula gives healthcare facilities a new daily disinfecting option that delivers fast efficacy and built-in compliance.

While Clorox has provided trusted, bleach-based solutions to healthcare and commercial facilities for more than 100 years, it is now introducing its first-ever bleach-free sporicidal wipes with Clorox Healthcare HyperOxi Disinfecting Wipes powered by Quanticare Technology. The non-bleach formula is designed to deliver broad-spectrum efficacy, eliminating C. difficile spores in four minutes and other pathogens—including TB, C. auris, and Norovirus—in one minute or less, while offering broad surface compatibility and a comfortable user experience.

Offering a non-bleach scent and minimal surface residue, the ready-to-use Clorox Healthcare HyperOxi Disinfecting Wipes provide sporicidal efficacy, without tradeoffs.

“Infection prevention teams are under increasing pressure to do more with less and disinfection solutions must be designed for the realities of today’s healthcare environments,” says Alec Frisch, general manager, CloroxPro. “With Clorox Healthcare Quat Alcohol Disinfecting Wipes and Clorox Healthcare HyperOxi Disinfecting Wipes, we’re delivering innovations designed for real-world compliance—helping teams meet required contact times without added steps or slowdowns, while providing options that make sporicidal disinfection more comfortable for everyday use.”

The new Clorox Healthcare Quat Alcohol Disinfecting Wipes and Clorox Healthcare HyperOxi Disinfecting Wipes will be available in small and large wipe sizes later this year through major healthcare distributors.

The Clorox Company is also a finalist for the World of Wipes Innovation Awards for Clorox Refreshables. These Nonwoven sheets can turn dryers into a 15-minute wardrobe reset, no washing machine needed. These innovative wet dryer sheets work like a fast, fabric-friendly tune-up: just toss one towelette into the dryer with an outfit for 15 minutes to revive lightly worn items, tackling odor, wrinkles, static and pet hair while leaving a crisp, lasting Spring Fresh scent.
