Abstract
The frequent use of traditional disinfectants like hypochlorite and ozone can harm health and the environment. This study investigates electrochemically activated hypochlorous acid (HOCl) as a safer alternative. HOCl was tested in a scrubbing machine for floor cleaning, comparing its effectiveness and safety to traditional detergents. Microbial and dirt removal, floor damage, and sustainability were evaluated, showing HOCl as a promising, eco-friendly disinfectant.
