FreshAWL^® MEDIQUAT™ is an all-purpose hospital disinfectant, cleaner, deodorizer, sterilizer, sanitizer, fungicide, virucide, algaecide, bacteriostat, and mildewstat.

The MEDIQUAT chemistry is a non-toxic, non-flammable, biodegradable quaternary product safe for the environment, with no hazardous waste disposal problems; available in CONCENTRATE and READY-TO-USE solutions.

• MEDIQUAT is certified by Federal and California EPA to effectively kill micro-organisms, including the AIDS virus (HIV-1), Staph, Strep, Salmonella, E-Coli, Typhoid, Influenza, Pox, Herpes, and Athlete's Foot, even on surfaces contaminated with organic soil. (Please see our FreshAWL MEDIQUAT brochure for complete listings).
• MEDIQUAT is authorized under Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act to be used as a sanitizing solution for food contact surfaces and food processing equipment. It is safe to leave in contact without rinsing at the recommended 2 oz. per gallon of water concentration.
• FreshAWL® MEDIQUAT RTU™  ̶  Ready-To-Use (RTU)  ̶  solution also kills deadly micro-organisms that have developed increased resistance to most antibiotics and disinfectants (Bacteriophage such as Tuberculosis and Hepatitis).

NOTE: To kill TB, Hepatitis, and other extremely resistant strains, MEDIQUAT RTU is a tough triple action quaternary-alcohol solution without the cleaning properties or the toxic characteristics of Phenol based products.

• MEDIQUAT is the only quaternary product to contain the special wetting, sequestration, and anti-redeposition agents developed exclusively for its formulation.
• MEDIQUAT has the highest registered residual concentration allowed on pre-cleaned surfaces under Federal law.
• MEDIQUAT has residual action properties that provide enhanced cleaning and disinfecting with extended contact time.

NOTE: Since the effectiveness of all sanitizing is largely dependent on a surface being “Pre-cleaned", FreshAWL PRE-CLEAN™ is a compatible product designed for that first time - or especially dirty, greasy job.

• MEDIQUAT is specifically formulated for hospitals, nursing homes, food processing or service establishments, cruise ships, hotels, schools, and all other commercial or institutional environments where housekeeping against germs is of prime importance.

How MEDIQUAT Works

MEDIQUAT is a two component product solution:

• Part one is an extremely effective All Purpose Cleaner-Deodorizer; and
• Part two is a wide spectrum DISINFECTANT with residual action.

MEDIQUAT RTU performs best when used as a wipe on/rinse off cleaner, then re-applied and allowed to dry as a disinfectant.

• NOTE: Do not leave a MEDIQUAT solution stronger than 2 oz. per gallon on food contact surfaces longer than 10 minutes.
• The recommended 2 oz. concentration does not need to be rinsed off.

Its unique, patented wetting agents allow MEDIQUAT to penetrate deep into the microscopic pores of all organic and inorganic surfaces, killing bacteria even beneath the surface with its residual action.

Once MEDIQUAT penetrates a surface it releases microscopic dirt and bacteria making it possible to clean as well as disinfect.

Via capillary action, MEDIQUAT leaches out all the foreign substances cleaning and disinfecting most "bugs" (pathogenic organisms and fungi) on contact, and leaves behind a residual molecule to continue cleaning (ionic action) and “bug killing" (bacteriostat).

This penetration, coating, and residual action keeps MEDIQUAT continuing to work­ deep inside a surface long after it appears to dry (up to several weeks in some cases).

Besides understanding what MEDIQUAT does, it is equally important to understand what other products may not do:

• Most disinfectants do not have wetting agents and are not able to penetrate so they kill only surface topical micro-organisms.

• Many do not have residual action, and of those that do, their residual capability frequently breaks down within minutes. Or their residual action, and frequently even their disinfectant capability, is neutralized by the pH of the mix/rinse water.
