Fat Moon Mushrooms replaces bleach with safer sanitizer. 2020

Fat Moon Mushrooms grows mushrooms for distribution to restaurants, farm stands, and small grocery stores in the Northeast region of Massachusetts. Due to the nature of the product and the growing process, unwanted mold and bacteria contaminate the plastic sheeting hanging on the walls of the grow room. With help from the TURI cleaning lab, Fat Moon chose to switch their sanitizer from bleach to a product generated from a salt mixture dissolved in water and electrochemically activated to create a hypochlorous acid solution.
