Contact Germ Killing Spray

Your body already makes the most effective disinfectant on earth. We just bottled it.

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is produced naturally by white blood cells to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Contact captures that same molecule at 500 ppm in a stable, ready-to-use spray — tough enough for training mats and equipment, gentle enough for skin.

The Science

What HOCl actually is: Hypochlorous acid isn't a synthetic chemical. It's a molecule your own immune system generates during an immune response. When neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) detect a pathogen, they produce HOCl to break it down.

HOCl works differently than most disinfectants. Instead of simply coating a surface, it penetrates the outer wall of bacteria and the protein shell of viruses, disrupting the structures the pathogen needs to survive. Because it exists at a near-neutral pH (roughly 3.0–6.5), it does this without the corrosive, alkaline chemistry that makes products like bleach (pH above 8) harsh on skin, fabric, and metal. Contact is formulated at 500 ppm, a concentration built for everyday use on both skin and gear.

Why that matters for mats, gear, and skin: Most disinfectants force a tradeoff — strong enough to kill pathogens, or gentle enough to use on skin, rarely both. HOCl doesn't ask you to choose. The same mechanism that breaks down bacteria and viruses on a wrestling mat or shared equipment is mild enough for direct skin contact, because it mimics a process your body already runs on itself.

Use Cases

On your gear and mats: Shared equipment and training surfaces are where skin infections spread — mat-borne bacteria and fungi don't care whose gear they land on. Spray Contact directly on mats, pads, gloves, and equipment between sessions. No rinsing required, and it won't degrade foam, leather, or synthetic material the way bleach-based cleaners can over time.

On you: Because HOCl is close to skin's natural pH and doesn't carry the causticity of bleach, it can be used directly on skin after training or contact — helping address the bacteria and fungi responsible for common mat-related skin issues (ringworm, staph, and similar). It's a rinse-free spray: apply and let it work.

Trust & Safety

Contact is built on hypochlorous acid — a compound with a long track record in wound care, food safety, and water treatment, precisely because of its low toxicity relative to its antimicrobial strength. Always check the product label and safety data sheet before use, particularly for open wounds, eyes, or sensitive skin conditions. If you have a specific skin condition or are immunocompromised, consult a healthcare provider before regular use. This is a general cleaning and hygiene product, not a substitute for medical treatment.

FAQ

Is this the same as bleach? No. Bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is strongly alkaline and corrosive. HOCl is a weak acid, closer to the pH of skin, and breaks down pathogens through a different mechanism — without the same fumes, residue, or skin irritation.

Do I need to rinse it off? No rinse is required for typical use on skin or equipment. Follow the specific instructions on your bottle.

Will it damage my equipment? HOCl is generally considered gentler on foam, leather, and synthetic materials than bleach-based or heavily alkaline cleaners, making it suitable for regular use on mats and gear.

How should I store it? Contact has a 12-month shelf life from the date of manufacture. HOCl solutions lose potency over time, especially with heat and light exposure, so store in a cool, dark place and check the expiration date on your bottle.
