MyPR: Do You Know The Difference Between A Sanitiser And A Disinfectant?<\/strong>: <\/p>\n

\"\"By now everyone should be familiar with using sanitising sprays on themselves as well as disinfecting products for surfaces, but how many people are mistakenly using the same product for both jobs?<\/p>\n

According to Burt Rodrigues, CEO of Biodx, \u201cThe terminologies sanitiser, disinfectant and antiseptic, were just words to most people before Covid hit. People knew the words but perhaps didn\u2019t understand the clear differences between them all.<\/p>\n

See descriptions of each from a previous article https:\/\/biodx.co\/cleaning-vs-sanitising-vs-disinfecting-whats-the-difference\/.<\/p>\n

Today it\u2019s become vital that people understand that the sanitiser you use on your hands and body will not work the same way on surfaces. Because most sanitisers typically have a large component of alcohol (70% recommended by the WHO) these will quickly evaporate when sprayed on a surface, which renders it useless seconds later. BUT a registered disinfectant, which should never be sprayed on skin, will be effective on surfaces for a lot longer than any sanitising spray. https:\/\/biodx.co\/covid-19-disinfection-claims\/<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s vital that the public be educated on these differences, which is why the CDC and local campaigns put out this information around the properties of an ideal disinfectant. There\u2019s no such thing as being a little bit effective when dealing with destroying viruses such as Covid-19. Each product you choose must work to a 100% of what it says it does and only used where recommended.\u201d<\/p>\n

CDC – Properties of an ideal disinfectant<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Broad spectrum: should have a wide antimicrobial spectrum
\u2022 Fast acting: should produce a rapid kill
\u2022 Not affected by environmental factors: should be active in the presence of organic matter (e.g., blood, sputum, faeces) and compatible with soaps, detergents, and other chemicals encountered in use
\u2022 Nontoxic: should not be harmful to the user or patient
\u2022 Surface compatibility: should not corrode instruments and metallic surfaces and should not cause the deterioration of cloth, rubber, plastics, and other materials
\u2022 Residual effect on treated surfaces: should leave an antimicrobial film on the treated surface
\u2022 Easy to use with clear label directions
\u2022 Odourless: should have a pleasant odour or no odour to facilitate its routine use
\u2022 Economical: should not be prohibitively high in cost
\u2022 Solubility: should be soluble in water
\u2022 Stability: should be stable in concentrate and use-dilution
\u2022 Cleaner: should have good cleaning properties
\u2022 Environmentally friendly: should not damage the environment on disposal<\/p>\n
