What is Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)?
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a powerful, organic disinfectant derived from salt through a proprietary electrochemical process. This plant-safe, full-spectrum solution disinfects growing areas, equipment, and more without the need for personal protective equipment (PPE). Compared to bleach, HOCl is up to 100 times more effective, non-toxic to living tissues, and safer than peracetic acid or quaternary ammonium compounds. Green Houston's Hypochlorous Solution is certified organic and registered with NRCS, making it a trusted choice for eco-conscious users.
Anti-Microbial
Eliminates harmful microbes.
Anti-Fungal
Fights fungal infections effectively.
Anti-Bacterial
Safeguards against bacteria.
HOW DOES HYPOCHLOROUS ACID WORK?
When sprayed, HOCl reacts with the proteins in a germ's cell membrane to form chloramines. This reaction creates a mild smell, reminiscent of bleach or swimming pools, without harmful chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hypochlorous acid (HOCl) the same as bleach?
Hypochlorous acid is not the same as bleach, although it shares similar disinfectant properties.
It is the natural substance produced by your white blood cells to fight infections,
offering the same effectiveness as bleach but without harmful chemicals or toxic residues.
Why does hypochlorous acid have a pH range of 5–7?
Our hypochlorous acid is formulated at a neutral pH of 7 to ensure stability and effectiveness.
Over time, the pH may gradually decrease to 5, which is still within the optimal range for
safe and powerful disinfection.
