Abstract
A neutralizer, destainer/descaling, and passivating composition and methods of using the same on metal surfaces are disclosed. The compositions are particularly well suited for the treatment of health care surfaces and other hard surfaces in need of treatment. In particular, the neutralizer, destainer/descaling, and passivating composition is an acid-based composition for use in instrument reprocessing.
