How to Use OxiTab in 3 Simple Steps
No complicated math (1 tablet per 1 gallon of water)—just mix, apply, and follow the right wet-contact time.
Drop Tablet in Water
Add OxiTab to cool/room-temperature water (don't use hot water). Use the dose on your label/dilution chart for the job you're doing (ex: routine disinfection vs. spores).
Let It Fully Dissolve
Let the tablet dissolve completely (a quick stir helps). If you're making a solution ahead of time, mix fresh daily (or anytime it becomes diluted/contaminated).
Clean, Then Disinfect
Apply by spray, wipe, mop, or soak to wet the surface thoroughly.
- If the surface is visibly dirty, pre-clean first.
- Keep the surface visibly wet for the contact time required on the label (this depends on the organism and concentration).
- Then wipe or let air dry.
- Important: Items/surfaces that will contact food, feed, or drinking water must be rinsed with potable water before reuse.
