Abstract: The development, formulations, and uses of a purified and enhanced hydrogen peroxide-based surface disinfectant. The disinfectant is optimized to provide for the rapid inactivation and killing of microorganisms including but not limited to Clostridium difficile, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida auris, and several viruses such as COVID-19. The hard surface disinfectant is optimized to impart a formulation that has rapid disinfection of microbial pathogens (less than or equal to 45 seconds) and once incorporated into a liquid or moistened wipe provides a cleaning and disinfecting solution which is nonslip and noncorrosive, while leaving minimal residue on the surface.
