AdvaCare™ Disinfectant for Hospitals and Healthcare
Effective Against Pathogens of Concern in Healthcare Laundry
According to the CDC, approximately 1.7 million healthcare‑associated infections occur in U.S. hospitals each year. Healthcare textiles, such as bedsheets and gowns, can be exposed to microorganisms during use and laundering. Hospitals and healthcare facilities rely on defined laundry processes to disinfect linens in accordance with established hygiene requirements.
AdvaCare™ laundry disinfectant for healthcare is EPA‑registered (EPA Reg. No. 1677‑193) and is approved to kill specific microorganisms on laundered healthcare textiles when used according to label directions, including Clostridioides difficile, a spore‑forming organism.
AdvaCare™ Disinfectant has demonstrated effectiveness against Clostridioides difficile on laundered fabric [linen]. Spores are recognized as among the most resistant forms of microorganisms. When used in accordance with its EPA‑registered directions for use against Clostridioides difficile, AdvaCare™ Disinfectant meets the criteria for use under the CDC’s emerging viral pathogen guidance and may be used against SARS‑CoV‑2.
AdvaCare™ has an EPA‑approved emerging viral pathogen claim for SARS‑CoV‑2, the virus that causes COVID‑19.
