Abstract

Compositions and methods are disclosed for sanitizing aqueous media, which combine a chlorine-source composition and a glycoluril-source composition. The compositions are added together or separately, continuously or periodically, and by any of a variety of methods. The glycoluril compound stabilizes the chlorine and prolongs its useful life as a microbicidal agent.
