Benefect Botanical Decon 30 Disinfectant Cleaner - All Natural Formula for Effective Cleaning Power - Ideal for Restoration Jobs & Water Damage - 20476 - 1 Gallon

This is my go to cleaning supply for not only household cleaning, but to disinfect objects that may have been contaminated by water intrusion, water damage, and leaks. I recently had an issue at my apartment, which caused me to lose a lot of objects, except for those that were nonporous. So in order to keep those, I needed to disinfect and clean them. This was recommended by a mold and water damage expert. It does exactly what it says. It does, smells great, easy to use, nontoxic, and the amount you get for the price is fantastic. I highly recommend.

We had water damage from a washing machine overflowing. We had hundreds of gallons of water overflow before we realized it what was happening and shut the water off. Needless to say a $45 part caused a ton of damage. Because of the water damage, our insurance company required a restoration contractor to assess & remediate before any damage was assessed.I asked the contractor about what they were using and after giving me the long preamble about how it was this special stuff that only licensed contractors could buy. After all that, I wanted to know if it was safe for the dogs. He then began to tell me how it was all natural and even smelled great. I asked again what the name of the product was and reluctantly he told me.Okay, so when he told me the name I made note of it on my phone. I waited a couple of days and truly was amazed how the product performed. So much so when the company made one of their many return trips, I begged them for some because I wanted to try it out on some mold at my father in laws house. I got a couple of ounces off of him and used it. Again, it worked. Despite the contractors assertions, I googled it. Low and behold the 2nd link brought me to Amazon. I ordered a gallon and when I got the box instantly told the story...it looked like a worn out accordion. A great deal of product had leaked out. I am proud that not only is it a great product, but the seller is equally spectacular. They made it right.I highly recommend this product. It is safe on upholstery, carpet, concrete, anything. I have gotten rid of the entire lake smell in my in-laws house using this over and over. The smell is fresh and pleasing - it doesn’t smell like chemicals and definitely does not over power. Goodbye concrobium...this is a great product.

Like bleach, this works in 30 seconds on most microbes but doesn't discolor fabrics, have a lingering scent that doesn't wash off your hands, or cause thyroid issues like Chlorine. I've been using this for years to clean up mold and sanitize surfaces that have been contaminated from animals or bugs. Safe to use on cuttings boards and counters. So versatile and effective. Thanks Decon 30! Just wish you weren't so expensive and only available online. When I have time to wait for my cleaner to work, I use a well known disinfecting spray with a similar but slightly less powerful formulation that I can get it at the local health food or even big box stores (but it takes 10 minutes to work).

What a great product. I’ve pitched out nearly all my toxic cleaners in favor of this one, relieved to have a highly effective sanitizing agent that is botanical-based. I keep a spray bottle in the kitchen and one in the bathroom and use the product liberally for everything from food prep surfaces to mildew-prone grout in the shower. The surfactant component adds cleansing action to the sanitizing effect and I have found it pretty effective on granite countertops, bathroom vanities and other smooth surfaces.The scent is definitely noticeable but it’s thyme, which is not unpleasant. I do wipe down food prep surfaces with water to minimize transfer of the thyme scent after sanitizing (e.g. with granite countertops used for kneading bread dough or cheese making). I would do the same when sanitizing with a conventional food prep cleaner like dilute Clorox. I have not found the scent to be an issue.This product is pricey, no doubt about that. I’ve found that using it in spray bottles maximizes bang for the buck, and I’m still only about halfway through my first gallon after six weeks of daily use. I use it full strength. Given its effectiveness and the peace of mind that comes with abandoning toxic mainstream sanitizing products, I’m not worried about the price. I’ll pay.

I have been searching for years for non-toxic replacements in my home, as I have a child with lots of allergies and asthma. I was having a hard time finding cleaners that were gentle, non-toxic but still did a great job cleaning. I absolutely love this stuff. The smell is a little herbal, but I love that it doesn’t smell like chemicals. It does a super job cleaning just about everything; kitchen spills, pet messes, baby areas… my husband even used it to clean his boat and said this did the best job out of all of the products I gave him. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it’s not super affordable. On the bottle, it says not to dilute and use it as is. That means if I want to clean my floors, I have to use a whole lot of it! I just wish it was a little more cost effective, but otherwise I love it!

I am used too the smell of the thyme oil now but it took some getting used to it.This product works better than anything else I have used for mold remediation and getting rid of animal urine smells from wood and carpets.I also use it as hand sanitizer and add to laundry when washing really dirty work clothes.I use it full strength.If dealing w/mold and mildew this is a safe way to approach. Most people say “use bleach”. I used to up to the point where I started having serious breathing issues doing a remediation job where I was wearing a full face respirator and Tyvek suit w/hood and boot covers. Had a mold specialist inform me that bleach turns the spores into an inorganic that our bodies can’t deal with.
