The Clorox Company announced last month that all Clorox and Clorox Scentiva branded Disinfecting Wipes and Disinfecting Wet Mopping Cloths received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for kill claims against SARS-Cov-2, the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19, on hard non-porous surfaces. Clorox Scentiva branded Disinfecting Wet Mopping Cloths are the first floor mopping clothes in the category to kill SARS-Cov-2. The new claims come after third-party laboratory testing proved the disinfectants’ efficacy against the virus with a 30 second contact time on hard non-porous surfaces.
“Clorox is a health and wellness company and we know how important it is for people to have the peace of mind the disinfectants they are using are effective against the virus that causes Covid-19,” says Chris Hyder, vice president and general manager, The Clorox Company. “We began testing our most popular and widely distributed products on the SARS-CoV-2 virus and we will continue testing other products on the virus, so we can offer consumers a wide range of products that are proven effective in fighting the spread of Covid-19. In the meantime, it’s important people know they can continue to confidently use any disinfectants that meet the criteria for use in fighting the spread of Covid-19 under the EPA Emerging Viral Pathogen Policy.”
