Safe. Smart. Science-Backed Hygiene for Early Childhood Centres

Meet Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)

At the Early Childhood Teachers Training Institute, we believe children deserve learning spaces that are healthy, safe, and chemical-free.
That’s why we’re proud to introduce Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) — the next generation of cleaning and disinfection for pre-schools and ECD centres.

HOCl is a gentle yet powerful disinfectant created from salt, water, and electricity.
It’s the same molecule your own white blood cells produce to fight germs — now harnessed by science for use in classrooms.

NO: alcohol, ammonia, bleach, phosphates, parabens, sulphates, phthalates, fragrances and dyes

 

Why Choose HOCl for Your Pre-School?

Designed for Early Learning Environments

Every surface in a pre-school tells a story — shared crayons, busy little hands exploring resources, touching and sometimes mouthing toys to learn and develop.


Our HOCl Disinfectant Range was developed specifically for early childhood settings, with gentle formulas, simple refill systems, and clear training support for teachers.

Use it safely on:

  • Classroom tables and chairs
  • Toys and learning materials
  • Bathrooms and change areas
  • Nap mats and bedding
  • Hands, high-touch areas, and even soft furnishings
  • In the kitchen to disinfect and extend the shelf life of fruit and vegetables

Our cleaning protocol aligns with the Department of Basic Education’s (2020) Standard Operating Procedures for ECD Programmes, which recommend the use of safe, non-toxic disinfectants suitable for early childhood environments.

Available Now

Hypochlorous Acid is effective at eliminating harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores. It does not remove stains or act as a detergent.
