Everything you need to know about HOCl and Rylae Labs.
What is HOCl (hypochlorous acid)?
HOCl, or hypochlorous acid, is a compound that naturally occurs in the human body. White blood cells produce it as part of how the immune system functions. In a bottle, it is a gentle cleaning agent that lifts grime and residue from surfaces without leaving harsh chemicals behind.
How does HOCl work?
HOCl is produced through an electrochemical process from water, salt, and a small electrical current, resulting in a stable, gentle cleaning solution. It works on surfaces and dries clean, with no rinsing required.
How is HOCl used around children and babies?
Rylae Kids is formulated as a gentle, no-rinse cleaning spray for the everyday surfaces little hands touch most. Parents use it on toys, high chairs, car seats, strollers, and play surfaces. It contains no alcohol, no bleach, no synthetic fragrance, and no dyes.
Can Rylae be used on baby toys and teething items?
Yes. Rylae Kids is designed for use on toys, including teething items. Spray directly onto the toy, wait 15 seconds, and air dry or wipe with a soft cloth. No rinsing required.
How does HOCl compare to bleach or alcohol cleaners?
HOCl is a different category of cleaning agent. Bleach and alcohol can damage surfaces, leave strong residues, and produce strong fumes. HOCl is gentle, dries clean, and does not leave a chemical smell. It has been studied and used for decades in clinical and food preparation settings.
How do I use Rylae Kids?
Spray Rylae Kids directly onto any surface or toy. Wait 15 seconds. Air dry or wipe with a soft cloth. No rinsing is required. Use as often as needed throughout the day.
How do I use Rylae Active?
Spray Rylae Active directly onto any surface or piece of gear. Wait 15 seconds. Air dry, no wiping needed. The 2 fl oz bottle is TSA-friendly and built for life on the go.
Do I need to rinse surfaces after using Rylae?
No. HOCl is formulated to dry clean and does not leave a residue that needs rinsing.
How is HOCl used around pets?
HOCl has been used in veterinary settings for years. Rylae products are gentle on the surfaces pets share with families, including water bowls, crates, toys, and bedding. As with any cleaning product, do not spray directly onto your pet.
What concentration of HOCl is in Rylae products?
Rylae products are formulated at a standardized HOCl concentration appropriate for everyday cleaning use. Specific concentration values are listed on each product label.
Does HOCl have a smell?
HOCl has a very faint scent that some describe as a hint of pool water. It does not contain synthetic fragrances or perfumes, and the scent fades quickly as the spray dries.
What surfaces can I use Rylae on?
Rylae products are designed for use on a wide range of surfaces, including finished wood, plastic, glass, ceramic, and metal. Common applications include toys, high chairs, play mats, strollers, counters, tables, shared workspaces, gym equipment, gear bags, locker rooms, hotel surfaces, rental cars, travel gear, and screens (when used with a soft cloth). Always test on a small area first if you are unsure about a delicate surface.
Where is Rylae Labs made?
Rylae Labs is founded in Arizona and our products are made in the USA.
What makes Rylae Labs different from other HOCl products?
Rylae Labs is built around two specific contexts: family routines (Rylae Kids) and life on the go (Rylae Active). Each product is formulated, packaged, and named for the spaces where it will actually be used. The science is the same. The application is purpose-built.
How should I store Rylae products?
Store Rylae products at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and high heat. Keep the bottle upright and the spray nozzle clean.
Does Rylae use harsh chemicals?
No. Rylae formulas contain no alcohol, no bleach, no synthetic fragrance, and no dyes.
