Benzarid can be used on non-porous surfaces such as floors, walls, countertops, sinks, toilets, showers, and other surfaces that are not harmed by water. It is important to follow the product label instructions for proper use.

BenzaRid can be applied using a sprayer, cloth, or mop. It is important to ensure that the surface remains wet with the solution for the contact time specified on the label, usually 10 minutes, to ensure that it effectively kills pathogens.

BenzaRid is ready-to-use and does not need to be diluted.

The frequency of use depends on the environment and the level of contamination. In healthcare settings or areas with a high risk of infection, daily disinfection may be necessary. In homes, using BenzaRid weekly or when there is a concern about exposure to pathogens is generally sufficient. In certain situations, disinfecting more often in your home may be required to help prevent reinfestation of mites, or prevent reinfection from viruses such as molluscum and others.

If BenzaRid comes into contact with skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. If it gets into the eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. If there is any irritation or you feel unwell, seek medical advice. Always read and follow the safety instructions on the product label.

Once a disinfectant gets official EPA approval, it allows us to legally promote the disinfecting virus-killing claims on our product's packaging and advertising.

BenzaRid will kill all black mold, however, it does not get the black color out. It is 100% possible to kill black mold without changing its color. Only bleach or high strength hydrogen peroxide with bleach the color out, however, neither bleach nor the high strength hydrogen peroxide will kill the mold! BenzaRid can prevent the spread or regrowth if the water problem is fixed. BenzaRid absolutely kills black mold without bleaching the mold out. The proper process of getting rid of the mold for good, starts by killing all of the growth first. The second step is to thoroughly clean the area with bleach or high-strength peroxide, this step will diminish or remove the stain left behind by the mold. The last step is to respray with BenzaRid disinfectant as a safeguard. This will prevent the regrowth or spread of the mold once the original water problem has been fixed. Some mold re-mediators may go over the area with a fungicidal sealant which is a fungicidal coating to fully prevent mold regrowth in the future especially in high humidity areas.

We do have many customers that use a cold fogging device to apply BenzaRid. Currently fogging devices are difficult to find on the market, however, they are out there if you try hard enough. Types you can use with BenzaRid: You can use Ultra Low Volume (ULV) cold foggers, regular cold foggers, electrostatic foggers, and spraying devices. Some customers have also used a High Volume Low Pressure (HVLP) "gun" in conjunction with pressurized air devices to apply BenzaRid as well. ULV foggers are a good way to fog, however, electrostatic devices are the “crème-de la-crème” of fogging. Electrostatic foggers work by electrostatically charging particles of BenzaRid and reducing the micron size significantly. The electrostatics’ properties effectively charge particles causing them to "bind" to surfaces. Those particles adhere to just about any surface for much longer periods of time. Please keep in mind that you must wear a P-100-rated respirator if you are going to atomize the product and stay in the room while using these devices with BenzaRid. The only thing that we would NOT recommend with our BenzaRid is a heat-based fogger. Because of the heat, the machine will quickly destroy the disinfectant, therefore rendering it ineffective.

Unfortunately, this is a subjective question because it depends on a number of factors. The amount of BenzaRid needed varies widely depending on the types of fogger used, as well as taking into consideration the size of the room or area to be fogged. For instance, a 20’x 20’ room might only need to fog for 20 minutes vs a warehouse, which could potentially need hours to run. It really all hinges on the flow rates of the fogger and the size of the area. For that same reason, the quantity is also very subjective. Most contractors who fog for sterilization and disinfection start with 1-2 gallons on smaller rooms/areas as opposed to a warehouse, which could take several 5-gallon pails or more. You must wear N-95/P-100 organic vapor respirators if staying with the machine for any length of time. Once the fogging is finished, air out the area and allow the space-time to dry. Once the dry process is complete, the space is safe to be used right away.

Benzarid is a proud member of the EPA list N.

US EPA Registration #: 10324-85-88904

Benzarid has been tested and proven to kill a multitude of viruses, molds, and bacteria when used correctly and according to the label's directions.

• Do not mix BenzaRid with other cleaning products or chemicals. This can

  cause dangerous chemical reactions and release harmful gasses.

• Avoid getting BenzaRid in your eyes or on your skin. If contact occurs,

  rinse thoroughly with water.

• Do not use BenzaRid on porous surfaces that would normally be

  damaged by water, such as unfinished wood or delicate fabrics. The

  product label recommends using BenzaRid on non-porous surfaces only.

• Avoid inhaling the spray mist or fumes of BenzaRid. Use in a

  well-ventilated area, and consider wearing a mask if necessary.

• Do not use BenzaRid intentionally on your skin or on your pet's body. This

  is not meant for use on a body.

• Do not use BenzaRid for any purpose other than what is specified on the

  product label.

A cleaner is designed to remove dirt, grime, and other types of visible soil

from surfaces. However, cleaners may not necessarily kill germs or

bacteria.

A disinfectant is a product that is designed to kill germs and bacteria on

surfaces. Disinfectants typically contain antimicrobial agents that are

effective against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
