Safety First
Frequent Cleaning
Before and after each class, equipment is cleaned only with disinfectants approved by the EPA as effective and less toxic.
Individualized Equipment
Individual Peace Core equipment is used throughout the class by only one student.
Use of Sustainable Disinfectants
Of the disinfectants approved by the EPA to kill Covid-19, only a handful are both effective and environmentally sustainable. Most use Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (AKA Quats) that not only can pose environmental risks, but are being investigated for a range of human health risks including fertility. PeaceCore Studios is committed to using those with safer actives such as:
WINDEX
Multi-Surface Disinfectant w/Lactic Acid
EPA Reg. # 4822-503
PURELL
Multi-Surface Disinfectant w/Alcohol
EPA Reg. # 84368-1
