The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) places disinfectant cleaners into one of four toxicity categories. BYOTROL24™ is an EPA-registered disinfectant and qualifies for a Category IV toxicity level which is noncorrosive, emits no harsh chemical fumes, and requires no gloves for use. As a worry-free and non-irritating disinfectant, it is not necessary for BYOTROL24™ to list first aid instructions or warning statements that you typically find on other surface cleaners.

The four toxicity categories, from least to most toxic are:

• Toxicity Category IV is Practically non-toxic and not an irritant.  BYOTROL24™ – NO caution statement required by EPA
• Toxicity Category III is Slightly toxic and Slightly irritating. EPA requires CAUTION statement
• Toxicity Category II is Moderately toxic and Moderately irritating. EPA requires WARNING statement
• Toxicity Category I is Highly toxic and Severely irritating. EPA requires DANGER statement

Active ingredients are listed on the BYOTROL24™ product label. In case you can’t read the small print on the label, here you go:

Active Ingredients:
00.324% 1-Decanaminium, N-decyl-N,N-dimethyl-, chloride
00.215% Alkyl* dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride *(67%C12, 25%C14, 7%C16, 1% C18)
00.539% Poly (hexamethylenebiguanide) hydrochloride
98.922% Other ingredients
100% Total

If you’re curious what’s in the other 98.9%, it’s mostly filtered water, some surfactants to help with cleaning.

No dyes of any kind are in BYOTROL24™.

BYOTROL24™ contains neither ammonia nor bleach.

Bleach is a powerful chemical that can destroy germs. Unfortunately, bleach can also damage or stain the surfaces in your home. Bleach also produces harsh, unpleasant fumes that can irritate the eyes, mouth and lungs. Scientists at Byotrol developed BYOTROL24™ to be bleach-free while delivering strong, effective, and long-lasting germ control.

What many people do not realize is that unlike dirt and grime, which can take a while to accumulate after cleaning, germs begin growing back almost instantly. Some bacteria, such as E. coli (Escherichia coli) that cause intestinal infection, can reproduce every 20 minutes. At this rate of growth, a single bacterium can grow into trillions of bacteria in one day.

BYOTROL24™ not only disinfects surfaces eliminating OVER 99.9% of germs, but also keeps surfaces sanitized eliminating bacteria for 24 hours.

The problem is that typical cleaning and sanitizing products contain germ-fighting agents that evaporate from the surface in a few minutes or get easily removed as people and pets come in contact with surfaces. This leaves surfaces vulnerable within a matter of minutes to the re-growth or transfer of bugs.

Using standard disinfecting products more frequently is not necessarily the answer either. It makes the germs more resistant and as a result can give rise to super-bugs such as MRSA.

For round-the-clock germ control, it’s best to use BYOTROL24™ daily on “high risk” surfaces such as toilet handles, doorknobs, and counters since these will be more prone to germ contamination you can pick up with your hands. Ultimately, how often you clean comes down to your personal needs and habits.

BYOTROL24™ can be used on most hard, non-porous, non-food contact surfaces such as counters, handles, sinks, floors, bathtubs, toilets and other surfaces.

We always recommend testing any new surface cleaner in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it’s compatible with the surface.

BYOTROL24™ can be wiped dry or allowed to air dry after application. After spraying BYOTROL24™, be sure to let the surface stay wet anywhere from 1-10 minutes to allow time for the disinfectant to fight and kill germs. Here are the recommended surface contact times:

VIRUSES – 2009-H1N1 Influenza A virus (1 minute), Coronavirus (1 minute), Respiratory syncytial virus (1 minute), Rotavirus (2 minutes), Feline calicivirus as a surrogate virus for Norovirus (5 minutes).
BACTERIA – Salmonella enterica (1 minute), Escherichia coli O157:H7 (2 minutes), Listeria monocytogenes (2 minutes), Staphylococcus aureus (2 minutes), Streptococcus pyogenes (2 minutes), Enterobacter aerogenes (5 minutes), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5 minutes).
FUNGICIDAL – Trichophyton mentagrophytes (10 minutes).

For 24-hour surface sanitizing, allow the surface treated with BYOTROL24™ to remain wet for five minutes before wiping dry.

We suggest that BYOTROL24™ should be used within two years of purchase.

BYOTROL24™ can be used in pet areas when used as directed.  BYOTROL24™ is not dangerous if it comes in contact with pets’ skin or fur, but you should wipe excess amounts off the skin or fur with water.  If swallowed by a pet, call your vet immediately.

Don’t panic!  Unlike many other cleaners, BYOTROL24™ is non-corrosive and non-irritating.  Of course, it’s always a good idea to wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water when coming into direct contact with any type of cleaning agent.
