OxyCide™ Daily Disinfectant Cleaner: Proven Performance and Clinical Outcomes
OxyCide™ Daily Disinfectant Cleaner delivers sporicidal efficacy and has been designed for daily use. It is an EPA-registered, dilutable concentrate that is effective against Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) spores, Candida auris, and a broad spectrum of other organisms. This one-step disinfectant cleaner and deodorizer is engineered for hard and flexible non-porous inanimate surfaces, ensuring that your facility remains protected without the need for multiple cleaning products.
Proven 50% Reduction in Hospital-Onset C. diff
The effectiveness of the OxyCide cleaner is demonstrated through a multi-center, quasi-experimental involving eight acute-care hospitals. The study evaluated the impact of a standardized patient room cleaning program centered on daily sporicidal disinfection with OxyCide.
The results were statistically significant and sustained:

Features and Benefits: The OxyCide Advantage
Proactive Daily Defense
- EPA-Registered Efficacy: A one-step disinfectant cleaner, virucide, and deodorizer with sporicidal activity that delivers a complete kill in 5 minutes or less.
- Targeted Kill Claims: Effectively kills Candida auris in 3 minutes and Clostridioides difficile endospores in 5 minutes.
- Broad Spectrum: Effective against 32 other organisms on hard and flexible non-porous inanimate surfaces.
- Proactive Use: Provides daily defense against C. diff and Candida auris, addressing spores that routine disinfectants may miss.
Operational Efficiency and Productivity
- Product Standardization: Enables simplification by requiring only one product for daily cleaning, discharges, and isolation.
- Reduced Complexity: Minimizes the need for training on multiple products, streamlining Environmental Services (EVS) workflows.
- One-Step Process: A no-rinse process that eliminates the need for separate glass, stainless steel, and specialized cleaners.
- No Binding Issues: Formulated without quat-based chemistries, ensuring there are no issues with cloth absorption or binding.
Protecting Assets and Staff
- Superior Compatibility: Favorable material compatibility helps minimize damage to surfaces and helps reduce the risk and cost of replacing damaged goods.
- Non-Corrosive: Does not corrode surfaces, damage mattresses, or damage soft goods and fabrics.
- No Visible Residue: Dries without leaving behind any visible residue, residual salts, or films on surfaces.
- Enhanced Safety: A closed-loop package and dispensing system with a single dilution rate (3 oz/gal). As applied according to label instructions, the diluted product requires no Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Long-Term Infection Control
- Infection Reduction: Daily use as part of a standardized program resulted in a 50% reduction in hospital-onset C. diff infections across acute-care hospitals.1
- High Effectiveness: Cleaning thoroughness improved steadily and reached over 93% effectiveness, supporting long-term control rather than short-term gains.1
- Repeatable Practices: Enables standardized, repeatable cleaning practices across units and shifts when paired with training and monitoring.
- Real-World Evidence: Performance is backed by peer-reviewed evidence from real hospital environments, ensuring results are sustainable over time.
Customer Success
“OxyCide™ enabled standardization of cleaning procedures across all units and departments, making cleaning and disinfecting simple and straightforward.”
– C. Chagai, Director of Hospitality Services in Clinton, IA (2019)
In a study that compared bleach to OxyCide™:
“EVS staff stated that patients preferred the smell of the current room cleaner (OxyCide™) compared to bleach used previously.”
– Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology (2019), 40, 880-888
What is Candida auris?
Candida auris is an emerging, multi-drug resistant fungus and a serious global health threat. It spreads through patients and contaminated surfaces, putting hospital systems at risk for outbreaks.
What is Clostridium difficile?
This antibiotic-resistant bacteria forms spores that allow it to survive in the environment for long periods. It is the most frequent cause of hospital-acquired diarrheal infections and serious intestinal conditions.
1/2 Million Illnesses Each Year Caused by C. difficile
The CDC estimates that C. difficile causes nearly half a million illnesses and 29,300 deaths annually in the U.S. About one quarter of these illnesses occur specifically in hospital settings.
OxyCide™ Safety Data
When diluted according to label instructions, personal protective equipment (PPE) is not required.
