In addition to eliminating unpleasant odors, this product neutralizes common household allergens (such as dust mites, cat mites, mold spores, and pollen).

Instructions for use

If you just want to clean, spray on the surface and spread with a damp cloth. If you're looking to disinfect, follow these steps:

1. Clean the surface before using the cleaner. In this case, clean the cutting board first.
2. Spray from a distance of 20 centimeters, spread with a damp cloth, and let it sit for the indicated time. The manufacturer recommends 5 minutes for bacteria, yeast, and enveloped viruses, and 15 minutes for fungi.
3. Normally, rinsing is not required. However, since the cutting board is a food contact surface, it is recommended to let it sit for 5 minutes and then rinse.

Another advantage of this cleaner is that in addition to using it on cutting boards, it's also suitable for countertops, sinks, trash cans, microwaves, tables, refrigerators, sinks, showers, toilets, tiles, doorknobs, pet accessories, baby toys, high chairs, and changing tables.
