No toxic chemicals 

There is a general misunderstanding by the consuming public as to the difference between a disinfectant and a sanitizer; the perception being that they are equally effective. Factually sanitizers only kill a percentage of viruses and bacteria (99.99% often advertised) while a disinfectant kills 100%. Sanitizers are therefore only effective at reducing the number of organisms present on a surface, leaving the remaining organisms to quickly reproduce after the sanitizer’s application. Furthermore, the organisms that remain after the application of a sanitizer may become resistant to future sanitizing treatments thereby reducing the effectiveness of a sanitizer after repeated applications. PureGreen24 not only kills 100% of bacteria, it also does not introduce bacterial resistance resulting in PureGreen24 having unlimited long term effectiveness.

PureGreen24 takes no prisoners! SDC, the active ingredient of PureGreen24, kills microorganisms by two modes of action: 1) the silver ion deactivates structural and metabolic membrane proteins leading to microbial death; 2) the microbes view SDC as a food source, allowing the silver ion to enter the microbe. Once inside the organism, the silver ion denatures the DNA, which halts the microbe’s ability to replicate and leads to its death. By totally killing the organisms there is no chance for them to build up a future resistance to SDC.

The EPA does not require warnings for Category IV products, in contrast to Category II Products. Category II products must be labeled with the following warnings: May be fatal if absorbed through skin, May be fatal if inhaled, Causes substantial and possible irreversible eye injury and skin irritation. For more information about EPA toxicity ratings visit the EPA web site. Other statements like “hazardous to humans and pets” may be found on the label of the other toxic disinfectants on the market. PureGreen24 is a category IV product that contains no toxic chemicals.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) treats disinfectants as pesticides and requires all disinfectants to be registered with the US EPA for sale in the United States. In addition, disinfectants must be registered in each state where the product is sold. PureGreen24 EPA registration number is 72977-3-84364, and is registered in all 50 states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.

Germs are microscopic organisms or agents. There are four major types of germs: bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Hard surfaces located in public areas are breeding grounds for germs. When a person’s hand touches these surfaces, then touches their eyes, nose or mouth infection may occur. As a result of an infection cells in the body can be damaged causing disease. PureGreen24 is proven to kill many germs in 30 Seconds* thereby avoiding infection and disease.

PureGreen24 is a ready to use formula for consistent efficacy every time. No mixing required.

PureGreen24 eliminates odors and disinfects in one-step. Remove odors without the use of Toxic Chemicals. PureGreen24 works by killing the bacteria that causes the odors, not just covering them up. Use for Pet Odors including urine, gym bags, sports gear and shoes, lockers, carpets, diaper pails, laundry baskets,sewer spills autos & RV’s, and marine use too. PureGreen24 will get rid of the odors without damaging fabrics or carpet.

PureGreen24 is manufactured and bottled in the USA. PureGreen24’s manufacturing facilities use Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) certified for the production of pharmaceutical-grade SDC. cGMP (also referred to as ‘GMP’) is a term that is recognized worldwide for the control and management of manufacturing and quality control testing of foods and pharmaceutical products.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA or Staph) and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) are two of the most widespread antibiotic-resistant pathogens that cause hospital/ public facility- acquired infections. Unfortunately, in recent times, these infections have also led to the deaths of both young and old alike. PureGreen24 is effective against VRE and strains of MRSA.

Viruses are tiny infectious agents that can only reproduce inside a living cell. Outside of a living cell, a virus is dormant, but once inside; it takes over the resources of the host cell and begins the production of more virus particles. As an example, Herpes is a virus. Bacteria are one-celled living organisms. Bacteria are many times larger then viruses. All bacteria are surrounded by a cell wall. They can reproduce independently, and inhabit virtually every environment on earth, including soil, water, hot springs, ice packs, and the bodies of plants and animals. As an example, Staph is a bacterium.

Fungicides kill fungus, and virucides kill viruses. PureGreen24 is both a Fungicide and Virucide*.

It is recommended that PureGreen24 be applied after the surface is cleaned or at least once per day. Following cleaning, the residual disinfectant properties of PureGreen24 cease (be mindful that most disinfectants have little to no residual disinfectant properties after they are applied). In the case of sports equipment and young children’s toys or equipment, is it recommended that PureGreen24 be applied after or before each use. Microfiber cloths are recommended for the application of PureGreen24.

• On children’s toys and play surfaces. No wiping required. – Yes!
• On sports equipment (helmets and pads). No wiping required. – Yes!
• In the presence of humans or animals – Yes!
• In pet’s/ livestock’s living areas – Yes!

PureGreen24 will clean up water soluble spills such as juice, but is not formulated to clean up greasy messes. If a surface needs to be cleaned; a cleaning product should be applied first followed by PureGreen24 applied as a final disinfecting step. When PureGreen24 is applied with a Microfiber cloth you will now be cleaning while you are disinfecting.

PureGreen24’s technology has no comparison to the active ingredient in the disinfectant your mother’s mother used. PureGreen24’s primary active ingredients are based on a revolutionary new silver ion technology made via a patented process. This technology delivers unparalleled effectiveness. PureGreen24 is also manufactured and bottled in the USA with the highest quality standards in a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certified state of the art facility.

None of the chemicals in PureGreen24 are considered hazardous by OSHA. None of the ingredients in PureGreen24 are on the California list of toxic chemicals (CA Proposition 65). PureGreen24 contains no alcohol, bleach or other toxic ingredients.

Per the Clean Air Act, PureGreen24 does not contain any hazardous air pollutants, Class 1 Ozone depletors, or Class 2 Ozone depletors.

None of the chemicals in PureGreen24 are listed as Hazardous Substances under the Clean Water Act (CWA), Priority Pollutants under the CWA, or Toxic Pollutants under the CWA.

PureGreen24 is NON-bleaching, odorless, colorless and will not stain or damage fabrics if contact occurs. PureGreen24 is unlike the other toxic disinfectants on the market that contain harsh chemicals that would damage or destroy the integrity of fabrics and carpeting. To disinfect clothing we recommend that PureGreen24 be used as a pre-wash, liberally spray PureGreen24 on clothing let sit for 10 minutes then wash in Hot water and use a Hot dryer.

Beware of products that claim only 99.99% effectiveness. It is important to use a product that is 100% effective (see sanitizer vs. disinfectant answer). Furthermore, many of the so called botanical based product’s active ingredients are toxic substances. An example of a botanical ingredient is thyme; from which Phenol, a toxic substance, is extracted. Therefore when selecting a disinfecting product it is important to ensure that there is 100% effectiveness such as PureGreen24.

• PureGreen24 is manufactured from silver ions and citric acid
• 99.967% (by weight) is composed of renewable raw materials (water and citric acid)
• The manufacturing process produces zero discharge with no waste or byproducts.

It is important that PureGreen24 be stored only in opaque bottles (not transparent or translucent) due to the photosensitivity of silver that may cause the color of liquid to change to a slight purple color. This will not however have any negative impact on the effectiveness of the PureGreen24. We also recommend that for labeling purposes it’s good for employees to know that they are now using a safe green product. Mixing PureGreen24 with the prior toxic chemical is also not recommended.

There are many steps that must be closely followed with using a bleach and water dilution; with the first step being the mixing. This is a hazardous task that is often performed incorrectly. The EPA only recognizes a MRSA kill claim from professional grade bleaches such as Ultra Clorox Germicidal Bleach (standard Clorox bleach is not EPA rated to kill MRSA). As per Clorox, the concentration of the bleach to water must be 2400ppm (or 5.33 oz of bleach per gallon of water). Once the correct bleach is mixed in the correct proportion, it must be applied by professionals using protective gear, allowed to soak for 2 minutes, and then rinsed. Often times, the soak time is too short or the toxic bleach/water mixture is not properly rinsed. Then, the general area must be allowed to “air out” prior to humans/ pets entering the space. Of course bleach is well known to stain and damage fabrics and other materials; so be prepared for collateral damage resulting from the application process. Then, do not forget to dispose of the leftover bleach/ water mix as it loses effectiveness over time (as short as 24 hours). Most likely, the disposal of the remainder is not performed in an environmentally friendly way (unused bleach-water is generally poured down the sink).

Puregreen24 has none of these disadvantages. There is no mixing, PureGreen24 has an EPA IV toxicity rating which does not require warnings by the Federal EPA; no protective gear is required, no need to rinse, it does not damage fabrics or other materials, it may be applied in the presence of humans and animals, and there is no wasted PureGreen24. Plus, PureGreen24 has the following advantages which include: its active ingredient, SDC, being EPA registered to kill MRSA, offers a 24hr residual bacterial kill, and is a human and pet friendly product.

Microfiber Versus Cotton Document

Microfiber cloths are recommended for the application of PureGreen24. Simply “spray and wipe” surfaces to be disinfected. Ensure all surfaces are completely soaked*, then wipe off excess. For irregularly shaped surfaces like children’s toys, door knobs or bedrails, apply PureGreen24 until thoroughly wet, allow to stand according to the label instructions, then wipe the desired surface. The microfiber cloth will clean the surface while you are disinfecting.

*please see Puregreen24 label for recommended organism “kill” times

PureGreen24 is not recommended for use on unsealed marble, porous stone or cement surfaces. PureGreen24 has citric acid- similar to lemon juice; although less concentrated, some stone surfaces may be sensitive to it. If in doubt, please test a small area first.

All disinfectants are EPA registered for hard non-porous surfaces. The reason being is that for the consistency of testing purposes. There are so many types of porous surfaces ie. carpet, clothing and fabrics, made of different materials and varying weaves, it would be impossible to guarantee 100% disinfection on porous surfaces.
