HOCl is Used by Norwegian Cruise Lines as a Disinfectant

Cruise ships have the potential to be floating germ and virus nurseries. Just think of how dangerous this could be on a ship in the middle of the ocean – with thousands of people on board – and they can’t get away. Norwegian Cruise Lines – like many businesses – understands that using HOCl (hypochlorous acid) as a multi surface cleaner is a great alternative to alcohol and chlorine-based formulas. Norwegian Cruise Lines has adopted HOCl for widespread use in all areas of its ships. Some reasons for switching to HOCl are that it has superior efficacy – but also fewer side effects – than traditional surface cleaners, and it can be used continuously on all surfaces – over time – without damaging them.
