Coronavirus:
Although we do not hold a claim for COVID-19, per se, we can logically deduce efficacy based on the following information:
As an emerging, novel virus, germicides typically do not carry claims against COVID-19; however, the Wysiwash Sanitizing System has demonstrated excellent effectiveness on surfaces against bovine coronavirus, a virus very similar to COVID-19. Further, studies indicate that a 50 ppm sodium hypochlorite solution kills COVID-19 on hard surfaces in one minute or less. Wysiwash and Effersan are much more effective than a 50 ppm sodium hypochlorite solution.
Please refer to the CDC's website for additional information.
The COVID-19 is an enveloped virus, making it an easy-to-kill virus. Non-enveloped viruses such as canine parvovirus or feline calicivirus are much more difficult to destroy. Wysiwash and Effersan have both demonstrated excellent effectiveness on those two non-enveloped viruses as well. It is important to follow directions and treat surfaces thoroughly to maximize effectiveness.
