PERMASAFESTEP 1

1 STEP DISINFECTANT CLEANER
EPA REGISTERED • NSF LISTED • FDA APPROVED • CDC COMPLIANT

PermaSafe STEP 1 is a 1 STEP  Multi-Purpose, Multi-Surface, 7-in-1 Germicidal Cleaner and Odor Eliminating; Mold, Mildew and Fungi Killing; Allergen Removing; 60 Second Sanitizing; Broad-Spectrum, Tuberculocidal, Hospital Grade Disinfectant which, according to the CDC, might just also be the Ideal Disinfectant!” 

STEP 1 cleans, deodorizes and disinfects, killing up to 99.999% of bacteria and viruses on hard, nonporous surfaces in one, time-saving step. And because STEP 1 contains no harmful chemicals, and is rated “Category IV” for toxicity by the EPA, the very lowest rating any disinfectant can be awarded, no gloves or other personal protection equipment are necessary when using it, no wiping or rinsing is needed after it’s applied, even on Food Contact Surfaces, and no Precautionary Statements or Hazard Warnings are required on its labels. 

BROADER SPECTRUM • HIGHER LEVEL POTENCY • AND MORE

GERMICIDAL  •  VIRUCIDAL* •  BACTERICIDAL  •  FUNGICIDAL  •  TUBERCULOCIDAL

Effective against many more, and much more difficult to kill microorganisms than the EPA requires for a Hospital Disinfectant to be classified, labeled and sold as “Broad Spectrum,” STEP 1 is also “Tuberculocidal,” a designation reserved for hospital disinfectants that have proven effective against Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, a notoriously difficult to eliminate pathogen.

Effectiveness against Mycobacterium Tuberculosis is a substantial antimicrobial benchmark that signifies an advanced level disinfectant with considerably higher germicidal potency.  Tuberculocidal hospital disinfectants are also capable of eliminating a much broader spectrum of pathogens, including such antimicrobial resistant and difficult to destroy microorganisms as Hepatitis B and C, HIV and MRSA.

Surface-loving, germ-hating STEP 1 eliminates up to 99.999% of harmful bacteria and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), Norovirus, Influenza, Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), E. Coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, H1N1 (Swine Flu), Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Ebola Virus and Legionella Pneumophila. STEP 1 also eliminates, and meets the surface disinfection recommendations from OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standards for, HIV-1, HAV, HBV and HCV, as well as a wide array of other disease-causing microorganisms.

COMPLETE • COMPLIANT • ALL SURFACE SANITIZATION

Very few disinfectants or sanitizers are both safe to use on, and compatible with the many different materials and finishes that fill our homes, businesses and other environments in which we spend our time. And even fewer are capable of, or EPA approved for “Sanitizing1” or “Disinfecting2” such a wide array of surfaces, especially Soft and Porous Surfaces such as wood, drywall, upholstery, carpets, curtains, bedding and other textile products; Food Contact Surfaces, which include glassware, cookware, tableware, cutting boards, food processing surfaces, coffee machines and more; and other Sensitive Surfaces, including medical surfaces of all types and business surfaces, such as computers, key boards, touch-screens and other electronic devices.

Unlike other antimicrobial products, STEP 1 offers disinfection or sanitization solutions for practically every inch of every residential, commercial, institutional and industrial space, indoors and out.

TOUGH ON GERMS EASY ON SURFACES, PEOPLE & PLANET

Despite its elevated germicidal potency and broader-spectrum capabilities, STEP 1 is one of the very few disinfectants to earn a “Category IV” rating for toxicity from the EPA. Category IV is the very lowest toxicity rating any antimicrobial product can be awarded, and one that equates to “virtually non-toxic and not an irritant.” It also means no gloves or other personal protection equipment are necessary when applying it, no wiping or rinsing is required after it’s applied, even on Food Contact Surfaces, and no Precautionary Statements or Hazard Warnings are required on its labels. STEP 1 is also: 

  • Approved for Safe Use Without Gloves, Masks or other PPE
  • Won’t Stain, Damage or Discolor Surfaces that Water Won’t
  • Contains No Harsh or Harmful Chemicals, and No Irritants
  • PH Balanced (+/- 8), Hypoallergenic and Water-Based

LONG-LASTING RESIDUAL ANTIMICROBIAL PROTECTION

PermaSafe STEP 1 not only cleans, sanitizes and disinfects surfaces, but also provides residual antimicrobial protection against a number of harmful microorganisms including Trichophyton Interdigitale (a Fungus that causes Athletes Foot, Ringworm, Keratomycosis and other diseases) and Aspergillus Niger (a Mold that can cause Pneumonia, Lung Disease, Ear and other infections). 

  • Penetrates Surfaces to Kill 99.9% of Trichophyton Interdigitale, even in Hard to Clean Areas, and Prevents its Regrowth for up to 7 days
  • Kills Mold and Mildew on Hard and Soft Surfaces and Continuously Inhibits Re-Growth for up to 4 Weeks

SAVES TIME • SAVES MONEY • AND MORE

STEP 1 is formulated to not only provide maximum pathogen elimination but also Coverage Rate. Coverage Rate refers to  the amount of surface area a given quantity of product can effectively treat, and is a key factor in determining a product’s true cost.

As displayed below, when utilizing a properly sized electric “Fogger,” one undiluted gallon of STEP 1 can disinfect 8,000 square feet of surface area, or up to 8 – 10 times more surface area than other disinfectants can safely and properly treat per gallon. And that same gallon of STEP 1, when diluted for sanitization, can effectively sanitize an astounding 80,000 square feet of surface area, which equates to as much as 80 times more surface area than other sanitizers can treat, making STEP 1 quite possibly the most economical product of its kind.
