Abstract
An antimicrobial and deodorizing composition is disclosed, which includes an aqueous solution having at least one acid-inducing metal salt and a metal chlorite and no protic acid. The aqueous solution has a pH less than about 7. The acidity-inducing metal salt, preferably, includes a iron cation, an aluminum cation, a gadolinium cation, a vanadium cation, a zirconium cation or a zinc cation, and anions sufficient for rendering said metal salt electrically neutral and water-soluble. The metal chlorite may, preferably, be sodium chlorite. Various methods for use of the composition are also disclosed.
