    A friend who is also an operator has recommended Bio-cide to me to be used on machines on location.

    Has anyone used this product before? I’m curious to see if it really works. Any information is appreciated.

    Any product that would allow us to get our machines back on location and provide some germ/virus protection would be great.

    I'll admit, I am yet to drink any.

    Not sure without swabbing and growing cultures how you are going to know if it works!

    I have seen a clear film called silver defender used on elevator buttons. Perhaps look into that. While it might be pricey, the amount needed for flippers and a start button would be small.

    Only you @o-din. It did make me laugh. Of course this is not recommend to be consumed by humans.

    I think it will kill COVID, not sure about removing grime though. It's EPA registered and it's tuberculicidal. It kills bloodborne pathogens, so it's okay with OSHA in hospital settings.

    The manufacturers doesn't seem to know what an SDS is though and I couldn't find a detailed composition. I couldn't find contact times either.

    I use Bio-Cide in my arcade. So far, so good.

    It's not the easiest to wipe from glass - leaves a bit of a residue - but no problems on other surfaces like cabinets, counter tops and control panels.

    It says it keeps working for 2-3 weeks, but I'm re-applying weekly just to be on the safe side.

    Hopefully won’t bleach out the cabs/etc.

    For what it is worth I am at an arcade with 40 pins right now and most have bio-cide stickers. Cabinets look fine. I think they are cleaning the glass with it instead of windex and that looks bad, but no harm to pins.

    We use Bioprotect RTU as a treatment on our game route(day job), nationwide. I might want to do some testing with on a junk cabinet before trying on the pins at our club(non profit night job).

    I purchased Biocide 100 because of the claims that the product would keep on protecting for weeks after proper application. Odd that these same claims are not listed on the manufacturers webpage, nor on the product itself. Reading over the manufacturers label, it looks like it will kill Coronavirus after leaving the surface wet for a certain amount of time. Claims like this are typical of products that kill with each application. So I am skeptical of the claims from one website, aaglobal.com, that this product will keep working for weeks after application.

    I did apply Biocide to the pins as a cleaner and expect that it will kill Coronavirus much like any other disinfectant. Don't use it on glass as it will leave a residue. After this product is used up I do not plan on buying any more of it. I can use Windex all purpose cleaner that cleans, disinfects and doesn't leave a residue on glass.

    I have been using it in my locations. Also printed up big posters saying the games are sprayed with it. It does leave a film on the machines (my guess is this was the active killing agent that is reactivated). I spray the games everywhere someone might touch routinely (buttons, start button, coin door, ect) let it set 2 minuets then wipe it off with a clean rag. I then remove the lock down bar, clean the glass with regular cleaner, and wipe under the lock down bar as i have found the biocide will run down underneath it.

    I will say it also cleans really well, my towel was black/dirty after scrubbing the machines down with it.

    I haven't seen any proof of this. It may keep mold from coming back soon. In searching I couldn't find anything that it kills viruses after it dries.

    This is what we are using at my location.

    I'm not a scientist or doctor. I have no idea if it truly works. But it gives me and my customers a bit of peace of mind. Still masking up, still washing hands, still sanitizing.

    It’s a good product that fights the spread of covid. It will pull paint off an EM cabinet, so be careful there.
