As I understand it, an anti-bacterial cleaning solution for use on "things" would not require FDA approval. It could go to market almost immediately.

Does anyone know if things like anti-bacterial hand-soap have to be FDA approved?

Brilacidin might make a more potent, and more environmentally benign, anti-bacterial than Triclosan, if its topical time-of-action is 2 minutes or less. That would be a mass-market application worth billions. Have no idea about feasibility or sustainability, just speculating here. - frrol

yes, other CTIX def-mimetic compounds (PMX 50003, PolyCide polymers) just might one day replace Triclosan across a multitude of industrial-material-consumer applications... at least the earlier Polymedix work was suggestive of efficacy. below a past post of mine that goes a bit deeper into this.

also just posted a link to FDA/EPA working together on Triclosan front
