Can a sodium hypochlorite spray gun be used to remove dirt from the surface of equipment?

Sodium hypochlorite spray guns are mainly used for disinfection and sterilization, rather than cleaning stubborn dirt. Although it has a certain decomposing effect on some minor organic stains, there is a clear distinction between "cleaning" and "disinfecting". The following is a detailed breakdown:

1. The main function is sterilization and disinfection, not decontamination
Explanation: Sodium hypochlorite is a strong oxidant that has good bactericidal and virus inactivation effects, but does not have significant abilities to remove oil, dust, or dissolve sediment.
Conclusion: It is impossible to effectively remove stubborn pollutants such as dirt, oil stains, and rust stains.

2. Has a slight cleaning effect on some organic stains
Explanation: Sodium hypochlorite can undergo oxidation reactions and have a certain decomposition effect on some minor organic pollutants such as protein residues or blood stains.
Limitations: Weak processing effect, suitable for pre-treatment or supplementary cleaning, but cannot replace professional cleaning agents.

3. Usually used as a "final disinfection" after cleaning
Explanation: After cleaning the surface of the equipment, use a spray gun to spray sodium hypochlorite for sterilization, which is the standard "clean first, disinfect later" process.
Suggested operating procedures:
Use neutral or alkaline cleaning agents to remove surface dirt;
Clean with clean water;
Use sodium hypochlorite spray gun for comprehensive disinfection.

4. Lack of physical cleaning capability
Note: The spray does not have the functions of high-pressure washing, hydraulic removal, etc., and cannot peel off or flush off the solid impurities attached to the surface.
Suggestion: If descaling is required, it is recommended to use a high-pressure water gun or professional detergent in combination with scrubbing.

5. Long term use requires attention to corrosion risks
Explanation: Sodium hypochlorite has a certain corrosiveness to metal equipment, especially when sprayed uncleaned, it can accelerate equipment aging.
Suggestion: After disinfection, wipe the metal surface with clean water and keep it dry to reduce the risk of corrosion.
