Environment A more earth-friendly active ingredient Employees Designed to be easier on employees and staff Disinfection Registered to kill more germs with faster contact times* Cleaning Highly efficient and versatile * Versus leading competition based on Federal EPA Master Label comparison (as of Nov 2011).

4 Environment A more earth-friendly active ingredient Hydrogen peroxide is a more ecologically sound active ingredient that, once used, breaks down into water and oxygen, leaving no active residue behind. Depending upon its concentration levels and how it is formulated with other ingredients, hydrogen peroxide can deliver disinfecting and powerful cleaning. FACTS ABOUT HYDROGEN PEROXIDE Contains oxygen and hydrogen atoms and is basically oxidized water. Natural environmental purifier that can be formed by the action of sunlight on water. A powerful oxidizer when applied to a surface, and the oxidation process helps fuel its cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting properties. Breaks down soil and stains, destroys odors and provides color-safe bleaching action. An effective germ killer, it causes bacteria and viruses to quickly decompose, rendering them harmless. Degrades quickly into water and oxygen after use, leaving no active residue behind. Highly soluble in water, and hydrogen peroxide breaks down easily and effectively at waste water treatment facility. Does not deliver troublesome gaseous release or chemical residues associated with other chemical oxidants. H 2 O 2

5 Employees Better experience for employees and staff A new solution from Clorox In the past, hydrogen peroxide has been used for a wide variety of purposes (anti-viral to fight skin infections, highly concentrated for instrument sterilization), but it requires a special blend of ingredients, surfactants and stabilizers to render it effective for everyday hard surface cleaning and disinfecting. Clorox is proud to bring these new EPA-registered disinfecting products to the world of commercial cleaning, while delivering the confidence of clean you ve come to expect from The Clorox Company. POWERED BY TECHNOLOGY Proprietary and patented activated hydrogen peroxide technology Contains plant-based biodegradable surfactants Low EPA toxicity ratings The EPA categorizes products into four categories based on six different toxicity studies (acute oral, acute dermal, acute inhalation, primary eye irritation, primary skin irritation, and dermal sensitization). Category IV is considered the least toxic. Clorox Commercial Solutions Clorox Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfecting Cleaners received the lowest toxicity rating possible in five out of the six studies.* Easier on employees Clorox Disinfecting Cleaners are designed to be easier on employees and staff who use them on a daily basis. VOCs No VOCs (volatile organic compounds) to help maintain good indoor air quality In five out of six toxicity studies, Clorox Hydrogen Peroxide Disinfecting Cleaners received the lowest EPA rating (Category IV). HIGHEST CATEGORY I TOXICITY Danger Warning Caution CATEGORY II CATEGORY III LOWEST None Required CATEGORY IV *Clorox Commercial Solutions Clorox Disinfecting Cleaners received a Category III rating for eye irritation. No harsh chemical smell or fumes No chlorine bleach, no phenol Less irritating for skin Non-staining, non-combustible No fragrance or dyes added

6 Disinfecting Faster disinfecting Registered to kill germs in as fast as 30 seconds* When you are cleaning areas known to harbor germs (think bathroom, desktops, phones, faucets, handles, etc.), you can t afford to use products that require long dwell times to kill germs. Who has the time to wait and reapply product as needed? But if you don t leave the product solutions on long enough (based on contact times required by the label), then you aren t effectively disinfecting. Not to mention the incremental cost if you need to use extra spray or wipes to effectively kill the germs. Some bacteria and viruses can live on surfaces for hours and even days, so you can t risk ineffective disinfection. With Clorox Commercial Solutions Clorox Disinfecting Cleaners, you have the shortest dwell times on the market today for non-bleach-based products.* That means you are getting the job done quickly and effectively while helping to prevent the spread of germs that cause illness. * Based on disinfecting claims and contact times listed on product master label (as of Nov. 2011). See product label for specific pathogen kill claims registered with the EPA.
