Additional Information for Elite Disinfect Texas

BBB promotes truth in advertising by contacting advertisers whose claims conflict with the BBB Code of Advertising.   These claims may come to our attention from our internal review of advertising, consumer complaints, and competitor challenges.  BBB asks advertisers to prove their claims, change ads to make offers more clear to consumers, and remove misleading or deceptive statements.

On December 29, 2022, BBB contacted Elite Disinfect Texas regarding advertised claimed results, certifications, and guarantees including:

"Covering all of Texas using EPA registered coronavirus disinfectant and natural disinfectant to destroy Covid-19, bacteria, viruses living on objects."

"Forensic Cleaning & Virus Disinfection with 90 day Antimicrobial Surface coating for Covid-19 protection."

"Cleaning is also a necessary first step toward disinfecting in most cases.  Cleaning has been shown to reduce up to 98% of bacteria and 93% of viruses from surfaces in EPA tests.  Cleaning also removes dust, molds, irritants and allergens that can trigger asthma."

"At Elite Disinfecting, your safety is our top priority.  We use hospital grade, water soluble solution that is non-toxic, eco-friendly, CDC approved and EPA certified.  Our products have been rigorously tested and scientifically proven to disinfect 99.999% of viruses, odor-causing bacteria, mold, allergens and odors, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19."

"Kills disease causing viruses"

"MFS Certified"

"Complete safety guarantee" and "Certified, Hospital-grade chemicals:  We use the best quality hospital-grade chemicals that are licensed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use."

BBB Code of Advertising states claims relating to performance, energy savings, safety, efficacy, or results for a product or service should be based on recent and competent testing or other objective data. 

BBB Code of Advertising also states the primary responsibility for truthful and non-deceptive advertising rests with the advertiser.  Advertisers should be prepared to substantiate any objective claims or offers made before publication or broadcast.  Upon request, they should present such substantiation promptly to the advertising medium or BBB.

BBB Code of Advertising also states when using the term "warranty" or "guarantee" in product advertising, the advertiser must clearly and conspicuously include a statement that the complete details of the warranty can be seen prior to sale at the advertiser's location, viewed on the advertiser's website or, in the case of mail or telephone order sales, made available free on written request.  

BBB requested Elite Disinfect Texas to substantiate the claims or discontinue the advertisements.

As of January 6, 2023, Elite Disinfect Texas discontinued its website.
