What CloroxPro does

CloroxPro is the professional cleaning, disinfecting, and hygiene products division of The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX; founded 1916), headquartered in Oakland, California, with additional operations in Pleasanton and Canada. It manufactures and distributes EPA-registered disinfectants, bleach germicidal cleaners, hydrogen peroxide-based products, and proprietary formulations to three primary customer verticals: healthcare facilities (over 4,500 U.S. hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics), educational institutions (K-12 and universities), and commercial businesses (offices, hospitality, retail). The product portfolio spans nine sub-brands: Clorox Healthcare (hospital-grade disinfectants including the proprietary SLASH-technology Fuzion cleaner, VersaSure wipes, Bleach Germicidal, Spore Defense, and pending Quat Alcohol and HyperOxi lines), Clorox EcoClean (EPA Safer Choice plant-based products), Clorox (Disinfecting Wipes, Screen+ Wipes, Germicidal Bleach, toilet bowl cleaner, specialty cleaners), Dispatch, Pine-Sol, Tilex, Formula 409, Fraganzia, Brita, and Glad.

The core technology differentiator is the SLASH (Self-Limiting Activated Sodium Hypochlorite) platform underlying Fuzion, which neutralizes bleach to salt and water after contact time, eliminating residue and corrosion while maintaining EPA-registered efficacy against C. difficile spores in 2 minutes — the fastest contact time available. Multiple products carry EPA registrations for killing C. difficile, C. auris, norovirus, SARS-CoV-2, and 50+ pathogens. In February 2026, Clorox completed the acquisition of GOJO Industries (Purell), substantially expanding the hygiene portfolio.

The business model is B2B with a hybrid go-to-market: enterprise and commercial buyers purchase through an authorized distributor network (with a Vizient GPO contract for healthcare members), engage dedicated enterprise sales representatives, and commit to multi-year contracts; SMB customers purchase directly online. Pricing is not publicly disclosed — quotes are handled via distributors or sales reps. Revenue mechanics are one-time product sales with recurring volume through distributor replenishment. Marketing emphasizes pathogen education, CE-credited training courses, webinars, an extensive resource center, and presence at industry events such as AHE Exchange and the Clean Buildings Conference.
