Care Homes

Pure, Safe, Reliable Non‑Toxic HOCl for Everyday Care Home Hygiene

Why Care Homes Choose EstormHOCl

Clinical‑grade, resident‑safe disinfection for care homes, nursing homes, and assisted‑living environments.

EstormHOCl provides broad‑spectrum antimicrobial protection while remaining non‑toxic, pH‑balanced, odourless, and safe for continuous use around elderly residents, staff, and visitors. It is ideal for environments where infection control, wound care, and air quality are critical.

Why Care Homes Choose EstormHOCl

Care homes require a disinfectant that is powerful enough to stop outbreaks, yet gentle enough for residents with fragile health.

  • Safe for Elderly & Immunocompromised: Non‑cytotoxic to skin cells and mucosal tissues; pH‑balanced (5.5 – 6.5).
  • Odourless & Respiratory‑Friendly: No fumes, no VOCs – ideal for residents with COPD, asthma, or dementia.
  • Wound‑Care Compatible: Supports healing, reduces inflammation, and disrupts biofilms.
  • Safe for Daily Use: No PPE required; no COSHH burden for most applications.
  • Eco‑Friendly: Breaks down into water and salt; biodegradable.
  • Flexible Application: Fogging, misting, spraying, wiping, and wound irrigation.

Wound Care & Skin Integrity

HOCl is widely used in chronic wound management due to its ability to:

  • Promote angiogenesis and fibroblast migration
  • Reduce biofilm formation
  • Accelerate tissue repair
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Support healing of pressure ulcers, diabetic wounds, and skin tears

This makes EstormHOCl uniquely suited for care homes with high wound‑care needs.

Oral & Respiratory Hygiene

HOCl can be used as:

  • A mouth rinse to reduce oral biofilm and gingivitis
  • A nasal spray to reduce respiratory pathogens
  • A misting agent to improve air quality and reduce airborne microbes

Daily Care Home Hygiene Workflow

  1. Morning: Wipe high‑touch surfaces and mobility aids
  2. Mid‑Day: Fog communal areas to reduce airborne pathogens
  3. Meals: Sanitise dining tables and food‑prep surfaces
  4. Afternoon: Refresh resident rooms with light misting
  5. Evening: Deep clean bathrooms, corridors, and lounges
  6. Wound Care: Apply HOCl for cleansing and biofilm disruption

Care Homes

In care homes, where residents often have weakened immune systems, using Estorm HOCl externally:

  • Amplifies the body’s natural defense mechanisms.
  • Provides non-toxic, immune-compatible disinfection.
  • Reduces microbial load without harming human cells.

1. Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Action

Estorm HOCl is a potent oxidizing agent that:

  • Disrupts microbial membranes by oxidizing lipids.
  • Denatures proteins by targeting sulfur-containing amino acids (e.g. cysteine, methionine).
  • Damages DNA and RNA, halting replication.
  • Penetrates biofilms, exposing embedded pathogens.

It is effective against:

  • Bacteria: E. coli, MRSA, Clostridium difficile.
  • Viruses: Norovirus, Influenza, SARS-CoV-2.
  • Fungi and spores.
This is critical in care homes, where infection outbreaks can spread rapidly and have severe consequences.

2. Tailored for Geriatric Vulnerabilities

Elderly residents often have:

  • Thinner, more fragile skin.
  • Compromised mucosal immunity.
  • Chronic wounds or pressure ulcers.
  • Reduced renal and hepatic detoxification capacity.

Estorm HOCl is:

  • Non-cytotoxic to keratinocytes and fibroblasts.
  • Safe for mucosal use (eyes, mouth, wounds).
  • Non-irritating and pH-balanced (5.5–6.5).
  • Biodegradable, leaving no chemical burden on the body.
This makes it ideal for daily use in wound care, oral hygiene, and surface disinfection.

3. Wound Care & Skin Integrity

Estorm HOCl is widely used in chronic wound management:

  • Promotes angiogenesis and fibroblast migration.
  • Reduces biofilm formation and local inflammation.
  • Accelerates re-epithelialization and tissue repair.

In care homes, it is used for:

  • Pressure ulcers.
  • Diabetic foot wounds.
  • Skin tears and abrasions.
  • Post-surgical sites.

4. Environmental & Surface Disinfection

Care homes require constant sanitation of:

  • High-touch surfaces (handrails, doorknobs, call buttons).
  • Shared equipment (wheelchairs, walkers, lifts).
  • Communal areas (dining rooms, lounges, bathrooms).

Estorm HOCl:

  • Kills pathogens in under 60 seconds.
  • Leaves no residue—no rinse required.
  • Is safe for use around residents and staff.
  • Can be fogged or misted for whole-room disinfection.
This reduces the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) without exposing residents to harsh chemicals.

5. Oral & Respiratory Hygiene

Estorm HOCl is used as a mouth rinse and nasal spray to:

  • Reduce oral biofilm and gingivitis.
  • Prevent aspiration pneumonia in residents with dysphagia.
  • Support post-dental procedure recovery.

It is also used in air purification systems or as a misting agent to reduce airborne pathogens in enclosed spaces.

  • Safe, Sustainable, and Staff-Friendly.
  • Non-toxic: No PPE required.
  • Non-flammable: Safe for storage and transport.
  • Biodegradable: Breaks down into water and salt.
  • No COSHH training required for use in many formulations.
This reduces chemical exposure, training burden, and environmental impact, aligning with care home sustainability goals.

6. Application - Biological Benefit

Wound care - Promotes healing, reduces biofilm, non-cytotoxic to skin and tissue.
Surface disinfection- Broad-spectrum kill, no residue, safe for frequent use.
Airborne pathogen control, fogging reduces aerosol transmission, safe for enclosed spaces.
Oral hygiene - Reduces oral pathogens, safe for mucosa, supports respiratory health.
Laundry sanitation, disinfects linens and clothing without harsh chemicals Staff safety. No PPE or COSHH training needed, reduces chemical exposure resident confidence. Visibly safe and effective hygiene fosters trust and peace of mind.
