Cleaning and Sanitizing Without Toxic Chemicals
ynnfield Green Technologies announces the distribution of Toucan- Eco, a device that produces a harmless yet effective cleaning and sanitizing solution composed of table salt, tap water and a small charge of electricity. When the chloride ion in salt is separated
from the sodium ion, it is electrochemically converted to hypochlorous acid, a sanitizer. The remaining sodium ion is electrochemically converted into sodium hydroxide, which is a basic element in many cleaning solutions. “Environmental Protection Agency tests determined that the Toucan-Eco is 80 times more effective than chlorine bleach when used as a sanitizer, yet it’s harmless to humans and pets,” says Patrick Lucci, managing director of Lynnfield Green Technologies. “There has not been such a breakthrough in the cleaning and sanitizing world in recent history that can match the performance of this simple device. Even ‘green’ chemicals cannot come close to the safety and cost savings of the Toucan-Eco.” Lucci notes that test results are available by request.
