Study: Improved Hydrogen Peroxide Can Kill Most Healthcare-Associated Pathogens in One Minute

A study published in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, journal of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America shows that improved hydrogen peroxide has a greater efficacy in fighting healthcare-associated pathogens, according to a Clorox Company report.

Researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill evaluated two healthcare hydrogen peroxide products. Both contained improved hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredient, and they were compared to standard hydrogen peroxide and quaternary ammonium compounds.    

The study found that improved hydrogen peroxide had a greater log reduction of pathogens in one minute than standard hydrogen peroxide and quaternary ammonium compounds.

Clorox's hydrogen peroxide healthcare products contain improved hydrogen peroxide as the active ingredient, according to the company.
