METREX 13-5025 CAVICIDE1 SURFACE DISINFECTANT CaviCide1, 2.5 Gallon, 2/cs (36 cs/plt)

METREX 13-5025 CAVICIDE1 SURFACE DISINFECTANT CaviCide1, 2.5 Gallon, 2/cs (36 cs/plt)

• Model: 13-5025
• Bottle Size: 2.5 Gallons
• 2 Jugs/ Case

Allows for faster changeover time and decreases risks of cross contamination. It has a 1 minute kill time and a 1 step cleaning and disinfecting. There is no dilution required.

The CaviCide1 2.5-gallon refill jug is designed primarily for high-throughput healthcare settings where large volumes of a ready-to-use disinfectant are needed for environmental surfaces. With its large capacity and 2-jug per case format, it is suited for stocking central supply rooms or environmental services (EVS) teams that service many rooms, operating theatres, or departments. Because no dilution is required, workflows can remain streamlined: staff simply dispense or pour the ready-to-use product onto cloths or into appropriate dispensers and apply to surfaces, reducing prep time and user error from dilution steps.

In terms of performance, CaviCide1 boasts a rapid 1-minute contact time for many pathogens including TB, MRSA, VRE, enveloped viruses (including SARS-CoV-2), fungi and many bacteria. This efficiency supports faster turnover of rooms and equipment, which can be critical in busy areas such as operating rooms, emergency departments, or isolation units. Its one-step design (cleaner plus disinfectant) helps reduce inventory complexity—serving as both an effective cleaner (removing soil) and disinfectant (killing pathogens)—which further supports operational efficiency in high-demand settings.

From an operational perspective, using the 2.5-gallon configuration has benefits and considerations. The benefits include cost-effectiveness (bulk size), less frequent reorder, and compatibility with bulk dispensing systems. However, facilities must ensure proper storage (large chemical jugs), safe handling (especially when transporting or dispensing), adherence to wet-contact time on surfaces, and compatibility of the disinfectant with the materials in the environment (metals, plastics, electronics). Because the product is fragrance-free and formulated for healthcare surfaces, it is well suited for sensitive areas (NICU, OR) where low odor is preferred. When implemented properly, CaviCide1 can form a cornerstone of an environmental hygiene program that emphasizes rapid, effective disinfection with minimal workflow disruption. 13-5025
