ABSTRACT The present disclosure provides compositions for antimicrobial use comprising a mineral acid buffered with a conjugate salt, a copper(II) salt, and an alkyl polyglycoside. The compositions may be in the form of an aqueous solution or of a solid that is a pellet, granule, powder, pod, or tablet. The present disclosure also provides methods for reducing the number of pathogens on a surface by applying compositions of the present disclosure to the surface. The compositions according to the invention can provide for significant antimicrobial reduction while minimizing organoleptic damage, causticity, and toxicity. Date Recue/Date Received 2021-04-08 |
