Broad Spectrum Surface Sanitiser
Viruclear has been developed specifically for reducing the infectivity of coronaviruses, known to persist on surfaces such as metal, glass and plastic for up to 9 days. Suitable for use in commercial, industrial, health care and other public facilities. Viruclear uses a combination of Stabilised Hydrogen Peroxide (SHP) and specialist surfactants combined with other additives to act as an oxidant by producing hydroxyl free radicals (OH) which attack essential components of microorganisms, including lipids, proteins and DNA/RNA.
Recommended Areas of Use
Recommended for use as a hard surface disinfectant/sanitiser: suitable for all hard surface in schools, churches, supermarkets, public transport including buses & railway carriages, taxis, hospitals, industrial, commercial, hospitality and institutional settings, manufacturing lines, food preparation areas, mortuaries, veterinary clinics, farms, livestock carriages and animal pens. Can be used on soft furnishings but always try on an inconspicuous area first.

Simple 3-Step Cleaning Programme
- Clean the surface with a cleaning detergent first.
- Wipe the surface or rinse it clean.
- Sanitise the surface with Viruclear. Spray the surface and allow contact time for about 60 seconds.
How to Use Viruclear
Viruclear is effective for use in a range of surface environments including but not limited to:
Specific Surface Types
Washable hard, nonporous surfaces, Appliances exteriors, Bathroom fixtures, Bathtubs, Cabinets, Cages, Chairs, Air Conditioning / Refrigeration / Heat pumps Coils and Drain Pans, Counter tops, Laminates, Desks, Doorknobs, Floors, Rubbish Bins & Skips, Highchairs, Kennel Runs, Outdoor Furniture, Refrigerated Storage and Display Equipment.
Dilution Instructions
Use at a ratio of 1:15 (0.5%) or 60ml per litre of cold water.
Spray n Wipe Application
The use of gloves is highly recommended. Dilute Viruclear 1:15 (or use a 30ml plunger to dispense 60ml of product from 5L container for a 1L bottle) with cold water. Spray onto surface and allow 60 seconds of contact time for full sanitising action to take place. Wipe surface with clean cloth to remove any moisture and allow to air dry.
Pour Application
The use of gloves is highly recommended. Dilute Viruclear 1:15 (or use a 30ml plunger to dispense 60ml of product from 5L container for a 1L bottle) with cold water and pour onto hard surfaces. With a clean cloth move the solution across the entire surface to be sanitised. Allow 60 seconds of contact time before removing excess situation with a damp cloth.
Bulk Spray Large Surface Areas
The use of gloves and face mask is highly recommended. Dilute Viruclear 1:15 (or use a 30ml plunger to dispense 60ml of product from 5L container for a 1L bottle) with cold water and pour into a backpack or pump up sprayer. Spray surfaces to be sanitised thoroughly with Viruclear solution and allow to air dry. Thoroughly rinse sprayer after use.
Please Note: Surfaces that show large amounts of gross soiling will need an initial pre-clean before a final sanitising step.
READY-TO-USE SOLUTION SHELF LIFE:
RTU solution has a recommended shelf life of 5 days. For high-risk and high-traffic areas we recommend a fresh solution is made daily.
Efficacy Data
Viruclear has been developed specifically for reducing the infectivity of coronaviruses. Suitable for use in commercial, industrial, health care and other public facilities.

Human coronaviruses can persist on surfaces such as metal, glass and plastic for up to 9 days. Some disinfectant agents effectively reduce coronavirus infectivity within 1 minute, for example:
- 0.5% hydrogen peroxide
- 0.1% sodium hypochlorite
- 62% – 71% ethanol

The efficacy of any bactericide/virucide is a function of the concentration of the sanitiser and the contact time. Whilst laboratory results have shown 0.5% hydrogen peroxide to be effective on coronaviruses in as little as 60 seconds, the longer the contact time the greater the efficacy. Viruclear has been designed to leave minimal residue so in most instances it can be left on the surface and not rinsed. However, if time allows the surface can be wiped with a damp cloth. This will help remove any biofilm present. Biofilms build up on most surfaces and help protect bacteria and viruses. The oxidising nature of Viruclear helps breakdown the biofilm and wiping the surface helps remove it. Once the oxidisation/sanitising process has taken place and killed bacteria and viruses, Viruclear will breakdown to water and oxygen.
