How Trucking Fleets Use Chlorine Dioxide To Stay Sanitized And Odor Free
Trucking fleets are under constant pressure to meet high-level sanitation and odor standards. Chlorine dioxide is an effective way for them to do so without sacrificing efficiency or performance. The product works quickly and can be used on various surfaces, including floors, walls, tractors, trailers, and cargo bays. It also disinfects the air inside the cab or trailer, killing bacteria and germs that create unpleasant odors. In addition, it breaks down organic matter like food waste and grease buildup, which can cause lingering bad smells. With chlorine dioxide, trucking fleets have a powerful tool to ensure their fleet is always clean and odor free.
Trucking fleets are vast, complex operations with numerous vehicles and drivers on the road at any given time. To ensure these fleets’ safety, they must take specific measures to keep their vehicles sanitary and odor-free. Chlorine dioxide has emerged as a popular tool in this effort due to its fast-acting disinfectant properties, low toxicity, and long-lasting deodorizing effects.
As a disinfectant, chlorine dioxide can eliminate harmful germs like E. coli, salmonella, influenza viruses, and other microorganisms. This helps reduce the spread of disease between drivers and passengers while protecting cargo during transport. Chlorine dioxide also effectively controls odors from urine, sweat, and other organic compounds. This helps to keep the truck cab smelling clean and pleasant for drivers and passengers.
Trucking fleets have taken advantage of chlorine dioxide’s efficacy by using portable, pocket-sized devices to sanitize cabs between each driver quickly. This ensures that all drivers and passengers enjoy a safe and pleasant riding experience.Chlorine Dioxide also provides many other benefits for commercial vehicles: it’s noncorrosive, non-toxic, and leaves no residue. And as a bonus, it is environmentally friendly because it doesn’t produce any hazardous byproducts when appropriately used. This makes it an ideal solution for trucking fleets looking to stay safe, clean, and odor free at all times.
Chlorine Dioxide is the perfect alie for trucking fleets to keep their vehicles in top condition and meet sanitation regulations. Properly using this powerful sanitizer, disinfectant, sterilant, and deodorizer, fleets can ensure a pleasant ride for their drivers and customers. So harness the power of chlorine dioxide today to keep your fleet on track!
FOG TO DISINFECT AND SANITIZE. REDUCE BACTERIAL BREEDING, MOLD, AND MILDEW.
Use for public, private, professional, air filters, ducts, ventilation, fogging agent, mechanical coarse, hand pump, motor vehicles, fleets, R.V.s, buses, animal transport vehicles and other transport access. Each gallon will treat approximately 1,000 – 1,500 sq. ft. of surface. Prepare activated solution to a strength consistent with the maximum threshold for a strength consistent with threshold in motor vehicles, livestock transport areas, where a powerful biocide is needed, to remove airborne pathogens, for water damage and mold remediation on porous, and NON-porous surfaces including concrete, asphalt, metals, and insulation.
| Use-Site | CONCENTRATION | Mix EQUAL PARTS 1:1 – NaClO2 (Part A) and HCl (Part B) |
| Moderate – Non-Food Contact | 100 PPM | 100 drops A, with 100 drops B in 1 gallon of water. (4ml = 100 drops) |
| HVAC – Vents and Air Ducts | 500 PPM | 500 drops A, with 500 drops B in 1 gallon of water. (20ml = 500 drops) |
| Insecticide or Fumigant | 725 PPM | 725 drops A, with 725 drops B in 1 gallon of water. (29ml = 725 drops) |
Mix in the bottom corner of a designated plastic mixing container. Let the solution activate for 1 minute before dilution, then fill the container with water. Agitate until mixed. Use as a solution or as a spray, in a manner consistent with usual standards. Fogging is to be used as an adjunct to acceptable manual cleaning and disinfecting for room and environmental surfaces. People must vacate the premises during fogging treatments; a one-hour restricted entry interval (REI) is required. When fogging, VeriSan™ proper respiratory and ventilation protection must be worn. NIOSH / MSHA approved respirator with an Organic Vapor / Acid Gas Cartridge. Secure proper respiratory and eye wear protection prior to activation.
