I've never heard of Vitula Biocide or Tula Medical. Should I be concerned?

Not sure why! We are a licensed corporation in Pennsylvania and been doing business since 2015, EPA registered and approved to sell this product. Vitula Biocide is our private label of Vital Oxide, which you may have heard being used throughout the pandemic. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, we have been very busy and want to provide you with the best product and prices on the market.  We appreciate your patience as we work through this sensitive time.

What is the dilution ratio?

Vitula Biocide (Vital Oxide) comes Ready to Use (RTU) as a full-strength EPA hospital disinfectant for non-porous surfaces. Full strength is recommended for first-time use on surfaces. Full strength should also be used in environments with high rates of bacteria, mold, and mildew and in high traffic areas and touch points.

If you are applying Vitula Biocide for the first time on a surface to remove mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, or odors, pre-clean the surface implementing traditional cleaning methods (e.g. using water and soap). Be sure not to use an acidic cleaner like vinegar because this may cause a bad reaction with Vitula Biocide. You can also use Vitula Biocide as a cleaner. Just spray onto the surface and wipe with a paper towel or rag.

The 5:1 dilution is intended for carpet sanitization and to pre-treat carpet for stain and odor removal. This application is essential for households with children and pets to prevent the spread of illnesses and cross contamination of surfaces.

Carpet should be clean or free of excessive soil before applying. Dilute Vitula Biocide 5-parts water to 1-part Vitula Biocide and spray onto surfaces from a distance of 6-8 inches. Work the product down to the pad of the carpet with a rake or a brush and allow enough ventilation to air dry. Fans may be used to dry the carpet faster. Repeat process as needed. Try on an inconspicuous area before full application to test for color fastness.

FOOD CONTACT AND DAILY SANITIZER: 9:1 DILUTION

The 9:1 dilution is intended for everyday sanitization of high traffic areas like residential and commercial kitchens, bathrooms, and items within those areas like doorknobs, handrails, cutting boards and other food-contact surfaces, counter tops, etc.

Dilute Vitula Biocide 9-parts water to 1-part Vitula Biocide and spray onto surfaces from a distance of 6-8 inches.

How can I use Vitula Biocide?

If you are applying Vitula Biocide for the first time on a surface to remove mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, or odors, pre-clean the surface implementing traditional cleaning methods (e.g. using water and soap). Be sure not to use an acidic cleaner like vinegar because this may cause a bad reaction with Vitula Biocide. You can also use Vitula Biocide as a cleaner.
