What is Hypochlorous Acid?
Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) is a naturally occurring compound your white blood cells produce to fight infection. Scientists replicated this chemistry through electrolysis—passing current through saltwater—to create a powerful, non-toxic antimicrobial.
Unlike bleach or ammonia, HOCL has a neutral pH that allows it to penetrate pathogen cell walls directly. This makes it 80-100x more effective at equivalent concentrations while remaining completely safe for people, pets, and surfaces.
The EPA has registered hypochlorous acid for hospitals, food processing, and residential mold remediation. The FDA recognizes it as safe for wound care and food-contact surfaces.
Why Professionals Choose HOCL
Natural Chemistry
HOCL is produced by your own immune system. It's what your body uses to kill pathogens—now available for professional applications.
Broad-Spectrum Efficacy
Proven against mold, bacteria, viruses, fungi, and biofilm. EPA-registered for hospitals, food processing, and residential use.
Non-Toxic & Safe
Safe for people, pets, and those with chemical sensitivities. No harsh fumes, no toxic residues, no extended evacuation required.
Fast-Acting
Kills pathogens on contact. Spaces can be safely re-entered within 1 hour—unlike bleach or traditional antimicrobials.
How HOCL Eliminates Pathogens
Understanding the science behind hypochlorous acid's superior performance.
Penetrates Cell Walls
The neutral charge of HOCL allows it to pass directly through pathogen membranes—something bleach cannot do.
Destroys from Within
Inside the cell, HOCL disrupts critical proteins and enzymes through rapid oxidation—killing pathogens in seconds.
Breaks Down Safely
After neutralizing pathogens, HOCL naturally degrades into simple salt water. No toxic residue remains.
Why This Matters for Mold
Mold sends roots (hyphae) deep into wood, drywall, and concrete. Surface cleaners only treat what you can see. Hypochlorous acid penetrates porous materials to eliminate mold at its source—preventing regrowth, not just cosmetic cleanup. Learn about crawl space mold prevention →

Frequently Asked Questions
What is hypochlorous acid spray used for?
Hypochlorous acid spray is used for disinfection, sanitization, and antimicrobial treatment in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Primary applications include mold prevention and remediation, surface disinfection, air quality treatment, water damage response, and ongoing antimicrobial maintenance. It's EPA-registered for use against bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi, and biofilm.
Is hypochlorous acid safe?
Yes. Hypochlorous acid is one of the safest antimicrobials available. Your own white blood cells produce it naturally as part of your immune response. Unlike bleach or ammonia, HOCL is non-toxic, non-irritating, and produces no harmful fumes. The FDA has approved hypochlorous acid for wound care and food-contact surfaces. It's safe around children, pets, and individuals with chemical sensitivities.
Does hypochlorous acid kill mold?
Yes. Hypochlorous acid is highly effective against mold. It kills mold spores on contact and penetrates porous materials like wood and drywall to eliminate mold at its roots. Unlike bleach, which only treats surface mold, HOCL provides deep treatment while creating conditions that prevent regrowth.
What is the difference between hypochlorous acid and bleach?
Both contain chlorine-based compounds, but they work differently. Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) has a neutral pH and neutral electrical charge, allowing it to penetrate pathogen cell walls directly. Bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is highly alkaline and relies on caustic chemical action. HOCL is 80-100x more effective than bleach at equivalent concentrations, yet completely non-toxic. Bleach damages surfaces and produces harmful fumes; HOCL does neither.
Can I buy hypochlorous acid spray?
Yes. ZeroPoint hypochlorous acid is available for purchase from SpraySquad in quantities ranging from 32 oz spray bottles to 55-gallon drums. Contact us for pricing and availability. Local pickup in Bogart, GA or delivery throughout the Southeast.
How is hypochlorous acid made?
Hypochlorous acid is produced through electrolysis—passing an electrical current through a saltwater solution. This process splits sodium chloride (salt) molecules and recombines them with water to form hypochlorous acid. Professional-grade HOCL requires precise control of electrical current, salt concentration, and pH to achieve optimal antimicrobial efficacy.
How long does hypochlorous acid last?
Stabilized hypochlorous acid maintains efficacy for several weeks to months when stored properly—away from direct sunlight and heat. Once applied, HOCL kills pathogens within seconds to minutes, then naturally breaks down into salt water. For ongoing mold prevention in humid climates like Georgia, we recommend professional maintenance treatments every 3-6 months.
