Both Security Floor® Treatment and Security Floor® Sanitizer are powdered, QAC-free products for use in entryways, on floors, and around/in drains. These products are available throughout the United States and in a handful of other countries. Both products improve facility hygiene and comply with USDA and FDA guidelines.

Both products…

• Are backed by nearly a decade of research, independent studies, and use in some of the world’s most successful food production facilities
• Are QAC-free meaning they do not contain quaternary ammonium chlorides which have been shown by the U.S. National Institute of Health and others to create superbugs and are not effective when used dry
• Can be registered with an organic certification agency
• Work as an entryway control, as a floor treatment, and in drain care

Given that both products have nearly identical formulas and uses, what is the difference?

• Security Floor Treatment was registered with the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI).
• Security Floor Sanitizer is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Security Floor Treatment was registered with OMRI until they changed their policy and stopped reviewing sanitizers (link). We can still use the registration status to ease approval from certified organic production or food processing and handling. This product was registered under the “Processing Products: Sanitizers, Disinfectants and Cleaners” category which OMRI no longer updates.

Security Floor Sanitizer is EPA-registered, meaning it has been tested using the Non-Food Contact Surface Sanitizer Test and proven effective against the following organisms:

Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 15313)
Enterobacter aerogenes (ATCC 13048)
Salmonella enterica (ATCC 10708)
Cronobacter sakazakii (ATCC 29544) 
Escherichia coli (ATCC 11229)
Streptococcus agalactiae (ATCC 12386)
Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538)
