Practical solutions in a critical environment
In critical environments, sporicidal disinfectants are often deployed when the objective is not only “clean,” but “clean with a defensible kill claim.”
The execution detail that separates a strong program from a weak one is wet-contact control: the surface must remain visibly wet for the full label time.
Total-Shield Plus HG (sterile) is a ready-to-use, one-step cleaner/disinfectant positioned for hard, non-porous surfaces where teams want to eliminate
dilution variability and reduce procedural steps while maintaining sterility handling expectations for the area.
What this product is used for
- Disinfection of hard, non-porous surfaces in controlled environments where a sterile disinfectant presentation is preferred or required by local practice.
- Broad-spectrum cleaning and disinfection workflows, including sporicidal/sterilant claims when used per label directions.
- Facilities running periodic sporicide rotations (e.g., scheduled spore-control events) where repeatability and documentation matter as much as chemistry.
Why customers consider this product
- Sterile option with the same RTU workflow: supports aseptic-area handling discipline without adding dilution steps.
- One-step positioning: detergent/cleaner plus disinfectant, with sporicide/sterilant claims when used as directed.
- Oxidizing active system (hydrogen peroxide + peracetic acid) commonly selected for broad-spectrum disinfection programs.
- Clear inventory control: 32 fl. oz. bottles, 6 per case, with a pour-spout top noted on the SOS listing.
- Document set supports audits and training (spec sheet, SDS, label/how-to-use, and hazardous drug decontamination protocol).
Materials, composition, and build
Total-Shield Plus HG is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid disinfectant/cleaner. The published active ingredients are
hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid.
The SDS lists peracetic acid <1% and hydrogen peroxide <7% (with exact percentages withheld as a trade secret beyond those ranges).
The spec sheet lists total actives at 6.74%, pH 1.5–2.5, and describes a clear liquid with a mild odor / fresh mint scent.
Because this is an oxidizing, low-pH formulation, surface compatibility and handling technique should be treated as a controlled variable.
Avoid unintended mixing with other chemistries and follow the SDS storage guidance closely to protect performance over time.

Where teams succeed or fail
Sporicides often “fail” operationally because the surface does not stay wet long enough. Airflow, warm surfaces, and absorbent wipes can
shorten wet time quickly. If your method calls for long contact times, build it around zone control and re-wetting discipline rather than
trying to stretch one pass across too large an area.
Performance and cleanliness considerations
Manufacturer literature positions Total-Shield Plus HG as a one-step disinfectant/cleaner with sporicidal and sterilant claims when used as directed.
Representative contact times are published on the spec sheet and label/how-to-use document set. These are label-driven claims and should be executed
precisely as written, including keeping the surface wet for the full contact time.
| Example organism / claim category |
Published contact time (hard surfaces) |
| Disinfectant (example: Pseudomonas aeruginosa) |
2 minutes |
| Disinfectant (examples: Salmonella enterica; Staphylococcus aureus; MRSA) |
90 seconds |
| Fungicidal / mold killing (examples: Trichophyton mentagrophytes; Aspergillus niger) |
2 minutes |
| Sporicidal (examples: Bacillus subtilis; Clostridium sporogenes) |
20 minutes |
| Sterilant claim (room temperature) |
20 minutes |
Chemistry notes that matter in practice: the SDS and spec sheet describe a low pH and oxidizing active system. That combination is often chosen for
broad-spectrum disinfection, but it increases the importance of controlled storage, avoiding incompatible materials, and preventing unintended mixing
with other cleaners or disinfectants.
Packaging, sterility, traceability, and country of origin
- Configuration: Case of 6 bottles; 32 fl. oz. per bottle; SOS listing notes a pour spout top.
- Sterility: Sterile (per SOSCleanroom listing). Sterilization method is not published in the source basis.
- Shelf life controls: 24 months unopened; 6 months after opening when stored in original container under proper conditions (SDS).
- Storage (SDS): Store tightly closed, protect from freezing, keep upright, store below 86°F / 30°C, and store away from incompatible materials (including strong reducing agents and certain metals).
- Country of origin: Made in the USA (published).
Best-practice use
Use the label/how-to-use document as the controlling instruction for contact time and application methods. The points below are practical execution
notes that help teams hit the label consistently in real facilities.
-
Pre-clean when needed. If the surface is visibly dirty or has residues, remove soils first. Sporicides are not magic
on heavy soil loads; soils can shield microorganisms and shorten effective contact.
-
Work in zones and overlap edges. For large areas, break the surface into manageable zones and overlap your wipe/mop passes.
Corners, lips, and vertical faces are where wet time usually fails first.
-
Control wetness. The surface must remain visibly wet for the full label time (sporicidal/sterilant claims can be longer).
If the film starts to dry, reapply to maintain wet contact rather than “finishing the pass dry.”
-
Avoid cross-chemistry mixing. Do not combine with other cleaners or disinfectants. Use dedicated, labeled application tools
(buckets, mops, wipes) and keep containers closed when not in use.
-
Use appropriate PPE and ventilation. The SDS calls for eye protection and gloves appropriate to the task and recommends use in well-ventilated areas,
avoiding sprays in enclosed spaces and avoiding contact with eyes/skin.
Receiving and QA cue
On receipt, record lot/expiry details per your quality system and confirm bottles are intact with no leakage. For in-use control, implement a simple
“date opened” label so the 6-month after-opening expectation can be enforced consistently across shifts.
Common failure modes
- Wet time not achieved: surface dries early due to airflow, warm surfaces, or overextending wipe coverage. Reapply to maintain wetness.
- Skipping soil removal: heavy residues reduce real-world performance. Pre-clean then disinfect.
- Incompatible materials or unintended mixing: oxidizers + low pH require compatibility discipline; do not mix with other chemistries.
- Storage drift: heat, freezing, or poor closure control can degrade oxidizing systems over time; follow SDS storage guidance.
- Using outside label scope: follow the label/how-to-use limitations (including any restrictions on instruments or devices) and your facility’s quality requirements.

Critical environment fit for this product
This sterile RTU sporicide is a fit when your program needs a documented sporicidal/sterilant-capable chemistry and you want to reduce operator variability
associated with dilutions. The key decision checks are: (1) sterile presentation requirement for the area/task, (2) your ability to hold surfaces wet for the
full contact time, and (3) how you will control opened-container dating, storage conditions, and application tools to prevent cross-contamination.
If you are running hazardous drug decontamination workflows, a dedicated protocol document is included in the literature set. Incorporate it only after review
by your EHS/quality team and alignment with your internal acceptance criteria.
SOSCleanroom note about SOP's
The Technical Vault is written to help customers make informed contamination-control decisions and improve day-to-day handling technique.
It is not your facility’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), batch record, or validation protocol.
Customers are responsible for establishing, training, and enforcing SOPs that fit their specific risks, products, equipment, cleanroom classification, and regulatory obligations.
Always confirm material compatibility, cleanliness suitability, sterility requirements, and acceptance criteria using your internal quality system and documented methods.
If you adapt any technique guidance from this entry, treat it as a starting template. Your team should review and approve the final method, then qualify it for your specific surfaces,
solvents, cleanliness limits, inspection methods, and risk profile. In short: use these best-practice suggestions to strengthen your SOPs—not to replace them.
