The Working Library on HOCl Dry Misting.
Articles, comparison guides, industry deep-dives, and case studies — for facility managers, infection prevention leads, master growers, plant sanitation managers, and anyone else evaluating environmental treatment as a real upgrade to their protocol.
The Science
What Is HOCl?
The plain-English explainer on hypochlorous — what it is, where it comes from, why your immune system makes it, and what that has to do with treating your facility.
Read Article → Deep DiveThe Science of Dry Misting
The full technical brief on HOCl chemistry, 1–3 micron particle size, the equipment-versus-chemistry distinction, and how dry misting actually fills a room.
Read Page → TechnicalUnderstanding PPM & Concentration in HOCl Protocols
Why most protocols target 294 PPM, what the 300 PPM equipment max means, and why coverage and contact time — not concentration — do the real work.

Dry Misting vs. UV Light
How HOCl dry misting compares to UV-C disinfection in occupied-space applications. Different categories, different jobs.
Read Comparison → Side-by-SideDry Misting vs. Electrostatic Spraying
Why electrostatic is a wet surface treatment with a charge — and why dry misting is a different category. Honest about when each one wins.
Read Comparison → Side-by-SideHOCl vs. Bleach
pH, residue, smell, surface compatibility, environmental breakdown, cost — and where each chemistry still has a job.
Read Comparison → Side-by-SideDry Misting vs. Conventional Fogging
Why "fogging" set the industry back. Wet fog vs. dry mist, droplet size, evacuation requirements, residue, and the difference between protocol and spray-and-pray.
Read Comparison → Side-by-SideDry Misting vs. Hydrogen Peroxide Atomizers
Routine, occupied-space treatment vs. periodic deep decon — coverage, chemistry, vacate-and-aerate downtime, and total program cost.
Read Comparison → Side-by-SideDry Misting vs. Electrostatic Sprayers
Environmental dry mist vs. directional, operator-applied surface spraying — air vs. surface, residue, wetness, and labor.

Preventing Flu Season Absenteeism in Schools
Absenteeism drains district funding and stretches custodial staff. How a whole-room HOCl layer runs in occupied classrooms — without clearing the room.
Read Article → HealthcareFaster Hospital Room Turnover with Dry Misting
Why turnover speed is a revenue lever — and how a whole-room layer after wiping reaches the air and the spots UV can't see. Featuring Piedmont Henry.

Kennel cough is largely airborne. Where an air-treating layer fits on top of the cleaning routine in boarding and shelter environments.
Read Article → Poultry & LivestockAvian Flu Biosecurity for Poultry Operations
Biosecurity is a stack of layers. Where environmental treatment reinforces the transition zones — without ever replacing the fundamentals.
Read Article → HospitalityEliminating Persistent Hotel Room Odors
Smoke, pets, and mustiness pull rooms out of inventory and drive bad reviews. How HOCl oxidizes odor at the source — no residue, no airing-out window.
Read Article → Food ProcessingEnvironmental Swab Programs & Between-Shift Treatment
How food processors are integrating environmental treatment into HACCP-validated SSOPs — reaching the drains, overheads, and air the swab map keeps flagging.
Read Article → CannabisIPM-Compatible Environmental Treatment for Cultivation
Working with — not against — your IPM program. A facility layer that treats the empty room between cycles, never the crop.
