Hospitals

Hospitals are vital hubs of healthcare, yet they can also be environments where infectious diseases can spread rapidly. Patients with weakened immune systems, combined with a high volume of visitors and staff, create a perfect storm for pathogens to thrive. From waiting rooms and patient wards to operating theatres and intensive care units, every surface poses a potential risk. Bacteria, viruses, and fungi can cling to doorknobs, bed rails, medical equipment, and countertops, and without rigorous cleaning and disinfection protocols, these surfaces can become reservoirs for disease transmission. The stakes are incredibly high; an outbreak can compromise patient safety, lead to longer hospital stays, and place a heavy burden on healthcare resources. Therefore, maintaining a pristine and sterile environment isn’t just a best practice—it’s a non-negotiable part of patient care.

Our advanced chlorine dioxide solutions offer a powerful and effective tool for tackling these challenges head-on. Chlorine dioxide is a highly potent biocide that works by disrupting the cell walls of microorganisms, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria like MRSA and C. difficile, as well as a wide range of viruses and fungi. Unlike traditional chlorine-based disinfectants, it does not produce harmful byproducts like trihalomethanes, making it a safer option for use in sensitive hospital settings. Our solutions can be used for a variety of applications, from disinfecting high-touch surfaces and medical equipment to deodorizing and sanitizing entire rooms. By integrating our chlorine dioxide products into your hospital’s cleaning and infection control procedures, you can achieve a superior level of cleanliness, significantly reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections, and provide a safer environment for patients, staff, and visitors.

How to use Chlorine Dioxide

Using our chlorine dioxide solutions is straightforward and efficient, making it easy to integrate into your existing cleaning protocols.

For general disinfection, simply activate the solution by adding a pre-determined amount of the concentrate to water according to the instructions on the label. This creates a powerful, ready-to-use disinfectant.

Once activated, the solution can be applied using a variety of standard cleaning equipment, such as sprayers, foggers, or simple cloths and buckets. For high-touch surfaces like bed rails and doorknobs, you can simply spray and wipe them down.

For larger areas or entire rooms, a fogging system can effectively disperse the solution, reaching even difficult-to-clean spots and ensuring comprehensive coverage.

Our chlorine dioxide solutions are designed for ease of use and maximum efficacy, allowing your staff to quickly and effectively disinfect surfaces and equipment, ensuring a consistently safe and clean environment with minimal effort.

Uses for Chlorine Dioxide

Scotmas is the first choice for operators and businesses requiring Chlorine Dioxide tablets for safe and effective disinfection.

Surface & Room Disinfection

Chlorine Dioxide is highly effective for sanitising hard surfaces, patient rooms, and high-risk areas. It can also be used for terminal cleaning after patient discharge, ensuring hygienic, pathogen-free environments in healthcare facilities.

Medical Equipment & Laundry Sterilisation

From cold sterilisation of medical instruments to the sanitisation of hospital linens and uniforms, Chlorine Dioxide provides powerful disinfection without damaging fabrics or sensitive materials.

Water System Treatment & Biofilm Control

Chlorine Dioxide is a proven biocide for water systems, eliminating Legionella, Pseudomonas, and other pathogens. Its ability to penetrate and remove biofilms ensures clean and safe water distribution.

HVAC & Air System Disinfection

As a fogging agent, Chlorine Dioxide disinfects heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. This prevents the spread of microorganisms through the air, improving overall air quality and safety.

Odour Elimination

Chlorine Dioxide doesn’t just mask odours — it oxidises and destroys the compounds that cause them. This makes it an effective solution for tackling unpleasant smells while leaving a clean, fresh environment.
