HOW TO PREPARE

Mixing Instructions

  • Place the sealed activation packet into your mixing bottle (do not open or cut it).
  • Fill with purified or distilled water to the exact amount listed on the activation packet (16 oz, 32 oz, etc.).
  • Close, shake, and let sit for 1 minute.
  • Pour the solution into your spray bottles.

Good to Know

  • Each activation packet is single use.
  • You can leave the used packet in the mixing bottle until you’re ready to make a new batch; then empty the bottle, remove, and discard the packet before adding a new one.
HOW TO APPLY

For best results,

  • Apply to clean, debris-free fur or skin.
  • Wipe away visible dirt before spraying.
  • Spray generously — the area should be visibly wet.
  • You may gently rub into fur or skin for even coverage.
  • Allow to air dry. Do not wipe off.
    As it dries, the solution is actively breaking down germs and odor-causing bacteria.
  • Reapply as needed. Safe for routine use and safe if licked during normal use.

Paws & Coat

  • Use after walks or outdoor activity to support everyday hygiene.

Minor Skin Irritation & Hot Spots

  • Apply to clean skin 1–3 times daily as needed.

Outer Ear Cleaning

Dental & Breath Support

  • Lightly mist along the gumline or apply using a clean cloth.

Bedding & Pet Areas

  • Spray beds, carriers, crates, and feeding areas until lightly damp. Allow to air dry.
CARE & STORAGE

Storage

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.
  • Once mixed, keep in an opaque bottle.

  • For consistent performance, refresh your solution within the recommended timeframe.

Bottle Care

  • For best results, use River Refresh bottles designed for proper storage and protection from light.
  • Do not reuse bottles that previously contained other cleaners, chemicals, or personal care products, as residue may affect stability and performance.
  • Clean the spray nozzle periodically to prevent buildup or clogging.
  • Do not freeze or expose to extreme heat.

Why Fresh Activation Matters

Each Activation Packet™ is formulated to create Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) at its intended concentration (ppm) and pH when mixed with purified or distilled water.

HOCl naturally degrades with exposure to light, heat, air, and water quality. By activating it yourself, you control when it’s made and how it’s stored.

Fresh activation helps ensure:
• Intended concentration for the task
• pH balanced for targeted use
• Reliable antimicrobial performance

When mixed and stored in opaque bottles away from heat and direct sunlight, the solution is expected to maintain strength close to its published concentration for at least 45 days. After that, natural degradation continues and concentration will gradually decline — which is why we recommend refreshing your solution regularly for consistent performance..

When It’s Wet, It’s Working™

Hypochlorous Acid gets to work on contact. Spray generously and let it air dry — there’s no need to wipe it away. As long as the surface remains visibly wet, the solution is actively interacting with germs and odor-causing bacteria.

It leaves no residue and is non-toxic, making it safe for everyday use around kids and pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to rinse off River Refresh hypochlorous Acid Pet Spray after using it? +

No rinse required. River Refresh Pet Spray is completely leave-on safe. Spray directly on fur, skin, or paws and let air-dry.

For wound care, gently pat dry if needed — otherwise, let it dry naturally. When it’s wet, it’s working. It cleans, deodorizes, and soothes in one step — no residue, no irritation.

How should I use hypochlorous acid (HOCl) for my pet’s skin, paws, and common irritations like hot spots or yeast? +

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a gentle, no-rinse way to clean, soothe, and protect your pet’s skin, paws, and coat — while also helping relieve itchy skin, hot spots, and yeast-related irritation.

How to use:

  • Spray evenly across fur, belly, or paws after walks or outdoor play.
  • For irritated areas, part the fur and spray directly on the skinwhen it’s wet, it’s working.
  • Let air-dry; no rinsing required.
  • Use two to three times daily for problem areas until skin improves.

Why it helps:

  • Antimicrobial: Kills bacteria and fungi that cause odor, infection, or itching.
  • Anti-inflammatory: Calms redness and irritation.
  • Supports healing: Mimics your pet’s natural immune response without stinging or drying.

Fresh Tip: Keep a bottle near the door or grooming station for quick refreshes after outdoor play or baths.

Disclaimer: HOCl supports skin health and healing but is not a substitute for veterinary care. For persistent irritation, consult your vet.

How should I use hypochlorous acid (HOCl) to sanitize pet areas? +

HOCl is a safe, non-toxic alternative to harsh disinfectants for cleaning and deodorizing pet areas. It kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi while leaving no residue, fumes, or irritation.

For everyday sanitizing:

  • Spray food bowls, toys, litter boxes, kennels, or bedding.
  • Let sit for one minute and air-dry — when it’s wet, it’s working.
  • No rinse needed.

For multi-pet or high-traffic areas:

  • Mist floors, carriers, or beds daily to prevent odor and contamination.
  • Especially useful for rescues or foster environments.

Fresh Tip: Freshly mixed HOCl offers the sanitizing power of professional veterinary cleaners like Rescue™ — without fumes or irritation.

Disclaimer: River Refresh HOCl is safe for routine cleaning but not a replacement for professional remediation in severe contamination cases.

Is hypochlorous acid (HOCl) safe for my pet’s eyes, ears, or dental care? +

Yes — HOCl is gentle enough for sensitive areas like eyes, ears, and mouth when applied correctly. It’s non-toxic, non-irritating, and free of alcohol or additives.

For eyes & tear stains:

  • Spray HOCl onto a clean cotton pad (not directly into the eye).
  • Gently wipe around eyes to remove buildup or discharge.

For ears:

  • Mist a pad or cloth, then wipe the outer ear and folds.
  • Avoid pouring liquid directly into the ear canal.

For dental care:

  • Add 1–2 sprays to your pet’s water bowl
  • Safe to spritz dental toys or chew surfaces for extra freshness.

Fresh Tip: Regular cleaning with HOCl supports oral, eye, and ear hygiene without the sting, smell, or struggle of typical pet products.

Disclaimer: HOCl is safe for external use but not intended as an eyewash or inner-ear flush. If pain or swelling occurs, contact your vet.

Is hypochlorous acid (HOCl) safe for pets including cats, dogs, rabbits, and horses? +

Yes — hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is completely safe for pets when used as directed, including cats, dogs, rabbits, small animals, and even horses.

HOCl is a naturally produced compound your pet’s immune system already uses to fight bacteria and support healing. It’s trusted by veterinarians for wound care, ear cleaning, and post-surgery recovery because it’s non-toxic, fragrance-free, and gentle on fur, skin, and paws.

Unlike harsh disinfectants or alcohol sprays, River Refresh HOCl won’t sting, stain, or require rinsing — even if your pet licks the treated area.

Key benefits:

  • Antimicrobial: Kills 99.9% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that cause odor and irritation.
  • Anti-inflammatory: Calms itchy or inflamed skin and promotes healing.
  • Residue-free: Safe for fur, skin, paws, and bedding.
  • Non-toxic: Safe if licked or inhaled during normal use.

Disclaimer: River Refresh products are for external use only and should complement, not replace, veterinary care. If irritation persists, consult your veterinarian.

Is River Refresh Pet Spray safe if my pets lick it? +

Yes — River Refresh Hypochlorous Pet Spray is 100% safe if licked. It’s non-toxic, alcohol-free, and biologically compatible since pets naturally produce hypochlorous acid in their own immune systems.

Unlike harsh cleaners, it’s worry-free for use on skin, fur, and paws — even if your pet grooms the treated area immediately after application.
