Disinfect Your Home Using No Harsh Chemicals
With Travis having cancer and my kids being the germ carrying creatures they are, I am always looking for a way to keep my house disinfected without using harsh chemicals. I have read several articles about how we all need to be aware of our environment. We need to care about what goes into our body as well as what we are exposing to our bodies.
Recently, I was contacted by CleanSmart Disinfectant Spray and asked if I wanted to give their product a try. Of course, after checking out their website, I said yes and was excited to give it a try. Check out this list of what this spray can do:
- Kills Cold, Flu, & RSV Viruses
- Destroys Listeria, Salmonella, and E.Coli
- Eliminates Odor Causing Bacteria
Now, if it can kill those things without using harsh chemicals, I am all in! Plus, they go on to explain you can breathe easy, not use gloves while cleaning, and you do not even have to rinse! On the bottle it states that it kills 99.9% of germs! Anybody else wondering what is in this stuff? I was! I mean really, am I supposed to believe that something without harsh chemicals can kill 99.9% of germs? We all have it ingrained in our minds that if we are not using harsh chemicals, then it can’t really be cleaning. That is simply not true. Green products can disinfect just as efficiently, if not better.
This got me thinking, “What is in this stuff?”
Active Ingredients: 0.017% Hypochlorous Acid
- Hypochlorous (Full name Hypochlorous Acid) is known by the scientific formula HOCL. It occurs naturally in the white blood cells of humans (and all mammals!) and is deployed to kill harmful pathogens as soon as infection is detected.
This is why it’s earned the nickname “Nature’s Perfect Germ Killer.” The antimicrobial properties of Hypochlorous are documented throughout the medical world. It’s even EPA-approved for use in Neonatal units!
How CleanSmart Works
Basically, the formula is just salt and water ran through an electrical device. Watch this video to give you a little more explanation…..
CleanSmart products use hypochlorous electrolyzed water technology, which breaks down into saline water, leaving no chemical residue—even when left to air dry. I LOVE THIS because when I clean my kitchen counter tops and chopping block, I spend about fifteen minutes rinsing them. I clean it with a harsh chemical and then think to myself, “Now, I have to get the cleaner off.” With CleanSmart you do not have to worry. Hypochlorous is naturally produced in the human body to fight bacteria and infections, which is why it is effective for killing germs but gentle on people and pets.
What Products Can You Disinfect Using CleanSmart
CleanSmart products are approved for use on electronics (fitness trackers, cell phones, televisions, computers), children’s toys and pacifiers, pet areas, etc. They have four product lines; Household Disinfecting, Nursery Care, Hand Cleaner, CleanSmart Pet.
I have been using it all over my house. I’ve used it on my kitchen counters, kitchen chopping block, door knobs, toilet handles, and you can even spray this on your mouth guards! If you have a baby, you can use this on a pacifier without rinsing! Just wait 60 seconds and give it right back to your baby.
In the home gym we have set up for Travis, using CleanSmart has helped to disinfect and sanitize the equipment. I don’t want a stinky sweaty germ filled gym. Yuck! At the same, time I do not want to use harsh chemicals that could possibly harm him. Solution – CleanSmart. I can just go in there and spray everything down and leave it. Don’t even have to wipe it off! Fastest way to clean a gym ever!
Thank you for all the information!
I didn’t know that although CleanSmart cleaner are not ‘harsh’ that they still were just as effective!!
I am allergic to a lot of cleaning products (at least that’s the excuse I give when I lapse on it. LOL! 😉 ) so having some options that don’t have a lot of harsh and irritating ingredients is something that would definitely help me out! 🙂
Looove this!! We are trying so hard to de-chemical our home this year!!
I love this, never heard of the brand before but I love that its harmless.
I will definitely have to check these out! I am always on the lookout for new, more effective cleaning products to try. It is such a bonus that these are safer for people to use.
I’m glad they’ve come up with these products. I stopped using harsh chemicals and am using mostly vinegar & water.
do they make these in gallon jugs? lol. amazing it works just as well!
I’m really big on trying to use products that are natural and chemical-free. I will definitely check them out, thanks for posting!
I always use disinfect cleaners at my home, but didn’t know that CleanSmart is such an awesome useful cleaner. thanks for introducing it to me.
This sounds like an amazing product! Something that has multiple uses and no need to rinse? Yes please!
I didn’t know about these cleaners. Never seen them or heard of them before so thanks for sharing.
I appreciate the low-down on the methods and chemicals to be using on the cleaning at our homes. I appreciate the review.
This product looks amazing! I usually use Clorox wipes for clean my hard surfaces, but am now becoming more aware of how much nasty chemicals are in the products we use. Thanks for sharing this!
I never heard of this brand before thanks for sharing
Wow, that sounds amazing! I quit using commercial cleaners years,ago. Haven’t heard of this before, thanks for the tip!
This is a very interesting concept from a scientific point of view. I would like to give this a try.
Thanks for sharing. Where do you purchase this? It sounds like a really safe product to use.
I too am one of those ‘ditch the chemical’ people. I prefer the natural approach. A product I will look into.
Thanks for sharing, I am always interested to know about products that are chemical free and safe.

This is the first time I heard of this label. Are they in stores?
This is good information I like cleaning and I’m always worried about chemicals
Thanks for sharing. I hate all the harsh chemicals and toxic smells they use now.
I’m all for using products that are free of harsh chemicals whenever I can; this sounds like a terrific disinfectant that I’ll definitely want to check out!
These sound great because most cleaners give me a massive headache that lasts all day. Hopefully these wont!!
Wow this product line sounds amazing! I have two cats and one of them tends to lick the floor and cabinets – yes she is odd lol. I am always worried about what she might eat off them so I tend to clean often so she doesn’t end up eating dirt, dust, hair, etc. However, I always worry about what’s in the cleaning products and if they’re worse for her to ingest. Most cleaning products have such harsh chemicals and I’m very concerned what affect they may have on her. So I am always looking for better and safer alternatives. Thanks for the tip! I will definitely be checking out these products!
It’s always nice to see cleaning products that I don’t have to worry about having around my children.
amen! good product. I could definitely use.
I like that it is harmless and kills germs we use this all the time
Sounds like an awesome product, and I would love to try it. Right now I’ve been using vinegar on everything.
