The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) publishes a list of disinfectants and cleaners that are effective against SARS-CoV-2 or Coronavirus. This list includes Sol‑U‑Guard Botanical® Disinfectant made exclusively by Melaleuca.
If a disinfectant or cleaner has been approved by the EPA for use against the coronavirus it will exist on this list. More than 350 products are included on the EPA list, but Sol-U-Guard stands apart—that’s because nearly all of the other approved products use ingredients such as chlorine bleach and Quaternary disinfectants and other harsh chemicals to kill viruses. However, these ingredients come with their own risks. An independent, 20-year study published in 2018 concluded that cleaning with national brand products containing chlorine bleach, Quaternary disinfectants, and other harsh chemicals—as little as once a week—can be as damaging to lungs as smoking a pack of ci******es every day for 20 years! Why bring these dangerous chemicals into your home while trying to protect your family against the coronavirus?
Sol-U-Guard Botanical Disinfectant was the first botanical disinfectant to be registered by the EPA. Instead of harsh chemicals, Sol-U-Guard Botanical uses safe, natural, and proven ingredients such as thyme oil and citric acid to sanitize and disinfect. Sol-U-Guard Botanical allows you to protect your family against both invading viruses as well as the dangers of chemical poisons. With Sol-U-Guard Botanical Disinfectant you don’t have to compromise the safety of your family to get the effectiveness you need.
Melaleuca has taken great measures to ensure this patent-protected formula will be available for you, your family, and potential customers to purchase throughout these times of increased vigilance. Sol-U-Guard Botanical Disinfectant kills 99.9% of viruses (as indicated by the label and when used as directed) and can be used against the coronavirus.* Now that’s worth sharing!

*COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Sol-U-Guard Botanical Disinfectant kills similar viruses and therefore can be used against SARS-CoV-2 virus when used in accordance with the directions for use against rhinovirus and poliovirus on hard, non-porous surfaces (see back label for more details).
