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.

Estorm HOCl aligns with the physiology of the immune system, supports tissue healing, and enables safe, sustainable infection control in one of the most vulnerable populations: the elderly.

Safety, Allergy & Environmental FAQs for Schools and Care Homes

Q: How effective is E-Storm HOCl against Norovirus and C. Difficile?

A: E-Storm HOCl is a high-level disinfectant proven to achieve a Log 6 (99.9999%) reduction in pathogens. It is specifically tested to BS EN 14476 and BS EN 13624, ensuring it eliminates hardy viruses and spores like C. Diff and Norovirus in under 60 seconds—far faster and safer than traditional bleach.

A: Yes. Unlike chlorine-based bleach or “Quats” which release VOCs and harsh fumes, E-Storm is non-toxic and pH-neutral. It does not irritate the lungs or skin, making it the ideal choice for communal lounges and bedrooms where residents may have asthma or COPD. 

A: Yes. E-Storm is perfectly suited for ULV fogging. It allows for rapid whole-room disinfection of bedrooms and bathrooms between occupants. Because it is non-toxic, rooms can be re-occupied immediately after the mist settles, with no “vacate-and-ventilate” downtime required.

* A: E-Storm helps care homes meet CQC Regulation 12 (Infection Control) and the National Standards of Healthcare Cleanliness 2025. We provide full Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and efficacy reports to support your hygiene audits and risk assessments.
