Germ Away Foaming Germicidal Cleaner 18oz – 12 Pack Case

If you already know Germ Away works, this is the way to buy it. Twelve 18 oz cans in one sealed QuestSpecialty case, at $8.33 a can instead of $14.99 — $79.89 off the price of buying twelve singles. Nothing about the product changes: same can, same EPA registration, same directions. That is 44% off, for the same can in the carton it was packed in. $6.66 off every canTwelve singles come to $179.88. The case is $99.99. That is $79.89 back in your pocket for buying the same twelve cans in one box. One box, one deliveryThe case ships as a single carton rather than twelve loose cans, so it arrives together and goes straight onto the shelf. It keepsShelf life is a year or more and it is stable down to 32°F, so a case in the storeroom is not a case you have to use up in a hurry. Who buys the case This is the size that makes sense once one can no longer covers you. If you are refilling a janitor’s cart every week, running more than one bathroom, or you need the same disinfectant in several places at once, twelve cans is roughly a season and it costs you a little over half what the singles do. Gyms and locker rooms — the athlete’s foot claim on this label is specifically for floors walked on with bare feet, and those floors need doing constantly Kennels, catteries, grooming shops and veterinary clinics — canine parvovirus survives on hard surfaces for a very long time and most ordinary cleaners do nothing to it Cleaning and janitorial crews — one can per cart, the rest on the shelf Motels, schools, offices and nursing homes — the label meets the requirements for hospital use Property managers and turnover crews — bathrooms, kitchens and shared laundry between tenants Anyone with several bathrooms who would rather not reorder every few weeks Why it mattersAlmost everybody uses a disinfectant wrong in the same way: they spray it and wipe it straight off. Every EPA disinfection claim depends on the surface staying wet for a set time — ten minutes for this one. Spray, walk away, come back and wipe. A surface wiped dry after thirty seconds has been cleaned, not disinfected. With twelve cans on hand you can afford to spray properly instead of stretching one can too far. Single can or the case? Germ Away 12 Pack Case $99.99 Best value if you use it regularly Germ Away Single Can $14.99 What you get Twelve 18 oz cans, 216 oz total One 18 oz can Price per can $8.33 $14.99 You save $79.89 against twelve singles — Suits A business, a facility, or a home that goes through it Trying it, or one bathroom The product inside is identical — this is purely about how many you buy at once. Start with a single can if you have never used it. Once you know it does the job, the case is the only sensible way to buy it again, because you are paying 44% less for exactly the same thing. What it kills These are the organisms on the EPA-registered label, not general claims: MRSA — methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Staphylococcus aureus (ordinary staph) Pseudomonas aeruginosa Salmonella enterica Legionella pneumophila Influenza A H1N1 Herpes simplex types 1 and 2 Canine parvovirus HIV-1 on precleaned surfaces previously soiled with blood or body fluids Athlete’s foot fungus (T. mentagrophytes) on bathroom, shower and locker room floors Mold and mildew, and the odors they cause How to use it Shake the can. Hold it six to eight inches away and spray until the surface is covered in white foam. Leave it for ten minutes. It needs to stay wet for the full ten minutes for the disinfection claim to hold. Wipe off with a clean cloth, mop or sponge. No scrubbing needed, and it leaves no grit or soap scum behind. On a heavily soiled area, remove the worst of it first, then treat. For mold and mildew control the method is different: pre-clean the surface, spray until completely wet, and let it air dry rather than wiping. Repeat weekly, or whenever growth comes back. Where it works Safe on glazed porcelain, glazed tile, Formica, vinyl, stainless steel, chrome, plastic, finished woodwork, metal and other hard non-porous surfaces. It will not harm chrome or metal, and it contains no acids or abrasives — showers, tubs, toilets, sinks, tile and fixtures; locker room and gym floors; tables, chairs, counters and garbage areas; HVAC catch pans and air conditioning evaporator coils; cages, kennels, stalls and grooming equipment. Where not to use it, and how to store a caseDo not use it to disinfect the inside of a refrigerator, a microwave or any appliance, and do not use it on dishes, glassware or eating utensils. Any surface that food touches must be rinsed with drinking water after you disinfect it. It is not a sterilant and must not be used on anything that goes inside the body. These are aerosol cans — store the case somewhere cool and out of direct sun, away from heaters, and never puncture or burn a can, even when it is empty. Federal law requires it to be used exactly as its label says. Pets, kennels and animal areas Canine parvovirus is the reason this can sits in a lot of kennels. Parvo survives on hard surfaces for a very long time and most ordinary cleaners do nothing to it. If you are treating animal quarters, take the animals and their food out first, remove all litter and droppings, then apply as above. Ventilate afterward, and do not bring animals back in until everything has dried. Anything that touches feed or water — bowls, troughs, automatic feeders — has to be scrubbed with soap and rinsed with drinking water before it goes back into use.

No. It is the same 18 oz can, the same formula and the same EPA registration — twelve of them in the carton QuestSpecialty packs them in. The only difference is what you pay per can. Will twelve cans go off before I use them? Shelf life is a year or more, and the cans are stable down to 32°F, so an unheated storeroom or a garage is fine. Keep them out of direct sun and away from any heat source. Do I really have to wait ten minutes? For the disinfecting claims, yes. Ten minutes of wet contact is what the EPA registration is based on. If you wipe it off after a minute you have cleaned the surface — which the foam does very well — but you have not disinfected it. Spray the whole bathroom, then start at the beginning again. Can I use it in the kitchen? On counters, tables, chairs and garbage areas, yes — but anything that food touches has to be rinsed with drinking water afterward. Do not use it on dishes, glassware or utensils, and do not use it inside a refrigerator or microwave. Is it safe around pets? It is used in veterinary clinics and kennels, so yes, when used as directed. Keep animals out of the area while you are applying it and until every surface has dried. Bowls and feeders need soap and a drinking-water rinse before they go back down. Can I buy more than one case? Yes — add as many as you need to the cart. If you want a larger quantity than the site will let you order, call or text us and we will sort it out.
