- High-touch surfaces: Door handles, light switches, remote controls, and keyboards.
- Outdoor & gear: Hunting equipment, camping gear, and outdoor furniture.
How to Get the Best Results
- Clean the surface first to remove dirt and grease before applying disinfectant.
- Allow the spray to dwell for the recommended contact time (usually 30 seconds to 10 minutes).
- For long-term protectants, apply to dry surfaces and allow to cure fully before use.
- Reapply after deep cleaning or scrubbing to restore the protective barrier.
