As noted in one of the posts through the link provided by Glock-A-Roo, there is also an added benefit of the product and that is to disinfect surfaces, hands (the diluted mix) and other eating utensils. Sort of like the bleach dip that many scouts units use as part of the final rinse for their dunk bags. While not advertised as a surface-disinfecting unit, I will check this potential use as well.
