What do you get when you combine the smarts of a chemist inspired by the love of his wife and his desire to keep her safe?
The result is ViroCLEAR – an innovative, new Australian made and owned COVID killing hospital grade surface disinfectant, that also kills 99.99% of germs and bacteria. The inventor, Ross Macdougald, was inspired to create VIroCLEAR for his wife Lucy who suffers from eczema.
“They say necessity is the mother of invention, so as a chemist, I decided to use my expertise and BioInnovate technology to create a non-irritant, plant-based, anti-microbial product for my wife Lucy who can’t use standard disinfectants,” says Macdougald.
“Surface disinfectants typically contain high levels of chemicals, which over time, are really tough on the surfaces they are meant to clean. After much trial and error, I managed to create a low chemical, alcohol free, hospital grade surface disinfectant that is so effective that it kills COVID within 90 seconds of contact.”
Daniel Seldon, Managing Director of Frenchs Forest based Aussie Pharma Direct who distribute ViroCLEAR, says disinfectants need hydrogen peroxide to kill COVID, but that formulation can take up to 10 minutes to kill COVID.
“Being able to kill the virus within 90 seconds makes all the difference, as in reality, no one is going to hang around and wait 10 minutes to be protected,” he says. “ARTG listed ViroCLEAR works so well as the formula is positively charged, so it acts as a magnet to attract and quickly kill negatively charged germs and viruses.

Macdougald was able to minimise the chemical load by incorporating extracts of native lemon bush and chamomile in the formula which allowed him to reduce the active ingredient of benzalkonium chloride to only 0.12 per cent (about the same amount used in contact lens cleaning solution), as compared to other products that contain five to 50 times more active ingredient. “With health and safety front and centre these days, ViroCLEAR is another tool to help protect Aussies and maintain optimal health,” says Macdougald.
