Excellent, Versatile, and Well-Priced Product!!

Ignore low ratings given based on not seeing it listed on the EPA’s List N, they show their ignorance of bureaucratic processes, biology, and chemistry. Should I also mention that if you look at other products like Lysol and Clorox disinfectant sprays that are on the EPA’s List N you will see that their active ingredient is the same but at a lesser concentration because they are pre-diluted for immediate use? I will state, tho', if you are using this products in the hopes it will help with something like non-enveloped viruses like norovirus, parvovirus, or rhinovirus, etc., then Odoban is not a good choice. Its active ingredient (as well as non-bleach cleaners like Lysol, Clorox, etc.) is essentially ineffective against non-enveloped viruses (most difficult type to inactive/kill). Cleaners with bleach (sodium hypochlorite) or hydrogen peroxide (H202) are best. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SCIENTIFIC-BASED EXPLANATION & REASONING ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The family of human coronaviruses are enveloped viruses that are the most susceptible to inactivation by osmotic shock (are hydrophobic). That is, there is a lipid/protein layer that surrounds the virus. The active ingredient in Odoban causes a breach in this lipid/protein envelope/wall and water to enter the virus and inactivate it by evoking osmotic shock. The active ingredient in Odoban (Alkyl [C14 50%, C12 40%, C16 10%] dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride) has been scientifically proven to be effective in inactivating (i.e., ‘killing’) enveloped viruses by causing osmotic shock with a concentration as low as 0.2% (but 0.4% is typically the lowest threshold used for the purposes of sanitisation and disinfection in commercial/industrial-type settings). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLEASE, PLEASE FOLLOW DILUTION INSTRUCTIONS ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Unless you are a chemist, biologist, medical doctor, etc., who understands how Quaternary Ammonium Compounds [QACs] work and can manipulate concentrations safely for use.) Why dilute to instruction and not use the full-strength concentration? Recommended dilution rates are based on what the EPA (based on scientific studies) recommends for optimal sanitation and disinfection. A proper balance between the active ingredient and water is required to inactive a virus by breaching its enveloped layer and allowing in the highest amount of water to induce osmotic shock. Too little or too much of the active ingredient as it relates to water will cause sanitation or disinfection to take longer because too little or too much concentration of the active ingredient caused less water to enter the virus than an optimal concentration of the active ingredient would have.

Bed Bugs

This stuff kills bed bugs! Spray your couches, spray your mattress, launder your linens. In about 2-4 weeks, depending on how often you spray and how bog the infestation, you will be bed bug free. Try it. Spray one and watch it die upon contact. Amazing stuff.

A note to our customers: While we appreciate the positive review so much, use of OdoBan against bedbugs is not an approved use pattern.

Smells great nothing more

First time ever using this product and I was excited to find it at Samsclub since it's hard to find any disinfectant during these Covid19 hard times. I bought the 4 pack. I add 6 oz odoban solutions to a 32 oz bottle and fill the bottle with tap water to use as an disinfectant. I used it for a couple of days and it smell really good. However after further research into the product I come to realized that this product did not show up on the EPA List N for disinfectant use against SARS and Covid2. Since this product is not listed with the EPA, it means either the EPA list is not updated as of this review OR this product do not qualified as kill 99.9% germs on contact according to the EPA. The EPA Reg. No. 66243-2 on the bottle of OdoBan returned with no result found on the EPA List N search. Since then, I am skeptical about using this product as an disinfectant, but continue to use it more as a odor eliminator. Now if I miss something here, please explain.

OdoBan® is an EPA registered disinfectant. The EPA Registration No. is 66243-2. Being an EPA Registered disinfectant does not automatically make a product eligible to be on List N, nor does being virucidal mean being able to kill ALL viruses. The EPA's Emerging Viral Pathogen program exists specifically for situations where there is a new viral threat that has not or cannot be tested yet. This guidance allows companies to recommend disinfectants that have previously tested claims for viruses that are harder to kill than the current threat, and that have completed the applications before an outbreak occurs to be included. In other words, the EPA may recommend products because they are reasonably certain they will kill a virus even though they may have never been tested on that particular virus in a laboratory. Sorry for the long answer! Some questions just don't have a short answer. At the time of this writing, testing has not been completed on OdoBan for use against Sars-Cov-2.
