Absolutely. Gard'nClean Liquid is versatile and can be effectively used in indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse settings to sanitize and disinfect a variety of hard, non-porous surfaces, equipment, and water systems.

Apply by mop, sponge, or sprayer, ensuring visible wetness for times specified for these applications, or apply through immersion or clean-in-place application. Apply directly onto the surface being treated—no rinse is required. Leaves No Residue.

Here are the standard Gard’nClean Liquid usage rates.

• Disinfection & Deodorization – 100 ppm
• Water System Reset - 50-100 ppm
• Sanitizer for hard, non-porous, non-food contact surfaces – 20 ppm
• Sanitizer for hard, non-porous food contact surfaces – 5 ppm
• Water Treatment (Continuous Dose) – 0.25 ppm – 0.8 ppm

For disinfection, use a 100 ppm solution to spray, wipe down or mop all surfaces.

• Disinfection & Deodorization – 100 ppm
• Sanitizer for hard, non-porous non-food contact surfaces – 20 ppm
• Sanitizer for hard, non-porous food contact surfaces – 5 ppm
• Water Treatment (Continuous Dose) – 0.1 ppm – 0.8 ppm

To test the concentration of the Gard'nClean Liquid solution, use the designated test strips or a colorimeter.

Dip the strip into the solution, then compare the color change to the chart on the bottle. This ensures the solution is at the correct concentration for effective use.

No rinse is required after applying Gard'nClean Liquid, as it leaves no harmful residues. (R.O. water is recommended for generating Gard’nClean Liquid but is not required.)

As often as needed. The frequency of use depends on the goals and specific requirements of your environment. High-traffic and high-touch areas will require more frequent applications. 

PROPER PPE: (REQUIRED DURING THE GENERATION PROCESS AND IF USING A POWERED APPLICATION DEVICE)

• Eye Protection
• NIOSH/MSHA-approved Respirator appropriate for Chlorine Dioxide
• Gloves

Gard’nClean’s Liquid comes in three sizes:

• GC-2 (makes 2 gallons of 100 ppm solution)
• GC-12.5 (makes 12.5 gallons of 100 ppm solution)
• GC-30 (makes 30 gallons of 100 ppm solution)

Gard'nClean Liquid is designed with convenience in mind; it ships and stores dry. This means you receive a concentrated product that is activated on-site by adding water, ensuring ease of transport and storage while maximizing effectiveness.

Activated Gard'nClean Liquid will not burn your skin, as it is not a dermal sensitizer.  However, gloves are required when handling activated solutions.

Gard'nClean Fast Release is a water-activated chlorine dioxide generator for deep penetrating air quality improvement.

Gard’nClean Fast Release is based around a proprietary sachet. By adding 150mL of water to the cup, the water vapor enters through the sachet, mixes with the reactants, and quickly releases pure chlorine dioxide gas. Gard’nClean Fast Release improves air quality by quickly releasing its contents over a 4-12 hours without requiring any power source or expensive equipment.

No, Gard’nClean Fast Release is not safe for use around plants or people. We recommend using Gard’nClean Fast Release in an empty room and placing a do not enter sign on the door when treatment is in progress. (VIEW PDF)

PROPER PPE:

• Eye Protection
• NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator appropriate for chlorine dioxide
• Gloves

To determine the appropriate size of Gard’nClean Fast Release for your space, calculate the cubic footage (length x width x height) of the area you wish to treat. Match this calculation with the product size recommendations to ensure effective air quality improvement.

To activate Gard’nClean Fast Release, simply place the correctly sized product in the desired location. Open the sachet and place it in the cup. Add water. Turn off the lights and remove yourself from the room. Place a sign on the door and allow 4-12 hours for fumigation to take place.

If you can evacuate the air out of the room, you can perform a treatment in as little as 4 hours. Gard’nClean Fast Release is most effective if activated for the full 12 hours. 

The Gard’nClean Extended Release is a next-generation, humidity-activated chlorine dioxide generator that improves air quality for up to 30 days. 

Gard’nClean extended-release is based around its proprietary sachet. Via a humidity-activation technology, water vapor enters through the sachet, mixes with the reactants, and slowly releases trace levels of pure chlorine dioxide gas. Gard’nClean Extended Release maintains air quality by slowly releasing its contents over time, for up to 30 days, without needing any power source or manual intervention after installation.

No personal protective equipment (PPE) is required when handling or deploying Gard’nClean Extended Release. When used as directed, its formulation and mechanism of action are designed to comply with OSHA and EPA chronic exposure limits.

The appropriate size of Gard’nClean Extended Release to use depends on the volume of the space where it will be deployed. To determine the right size, calculate the cubic footage of the area (length x width x height). Then match this to the closest sized product. Click here to visit the Gard’nClean calculator.

To calculate cubic feet of a room or space, use the formula: length (in feet) x width (in feet) x height (in feet). This calculation gives you the total volume of the space, which is necessary to select the correct size of Gard’nClean Extended Release for your needs. Click here to visit the Gard’nClean calculator to configure your cubic dimensions easily.

The most critical aspect of deploying Gard’nClean Extended Release is the prep work—selecting the correct size for the area you're treating. Ensuring you have the right size is essential for adequate coverage, as the deployment is incredibly easy.

Once you've chosen the appropriate size, all you have to do is open the package and hang the product in the desired location, ensuring it is exposed to the air in the space you wish to treat. The product is humidity-activated, so no additional steps are required to initiate its action, making the deployment straightforward for all users.

Gard’nClean Extended Release is designed to last for up to 30 days. Product longevity can vary slightly based on environmental conditions, such as humidity levels and space size. Gard’nClean Extended Release maintains its effectiveness throughout this period, providing a consistent and sustained release of pure chlorine dioxide gas.  Environments with consistently high humidity will increase the amount of chlorine dioxide generated while decreasing the lifespan from 30 days to 21-25 days.  Please consult with your Gard’nClean Advisor to get specific recommendations for high-humidity environments.

These test strips are used to measure the level of chlorine dioxide in Gard’nClean Liquid solutions, ensuring proper ppm concentration.

No, these test strips only work with liquid chlorine dioxide solutions.

Simply dip a strip into the liquid you're testing, wait for the indicated time, and then compare the strip's color change to the chart on the bottle to determine the chlorine dioxide level.

We recommend testing your solution after initial activation, anytime you make a diluted solution, and prior to use to verify use concentrations.

Adjust your chlorine dioxide solution to the appropriate level. Refer to the Gard’nClean Liquid Dilution Chart for more information.

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and in their original container to ensure their longevity and accuracy.

Yes, like most chemical test strips, they have a shelf life. Always check the expiration date printed on the bottle and use them before it passes for accurate results.

Low range test strips are designed to measure lower concentrations of chlorine dioxide, such as for water treatment and food contact sanitizing. Wide range test strips are used for higher concentrations such as water system treatments or hard surface disinfection.
