COVID-19 Cleaning

In coordination with Plant Administration and Custodial, the University has selected a specific chemical to be distributed across the campus to specifically disinfect COVID-19.

The chemical in concentrate form will only be used by the Custodial Office. The diluted/read-to-use (RTU) form will be distributed to the campus.

This page provides information on the chemical and additional resources, including information from the diluted/ready-to-use (RTU) Safety Data Sheet (SDS):
