The spread of Covid-19 has spurred a surge in demand for disinfectants to keep the surfaces clean. But what do we know about how disinfectants deactivate Covid-19?

1. Are QUATS
Based
Disinfectant
Helpful During
COVID19 Crisis?Tatvachintan Presents

2. WHY ARE QUATS BASED DISINFECTANTS
CONSIDERED HELPFUL?
QUATS or as you commonly know the
compound as “Quaternary Ammonia Chloride”,
is considered highly effective in the elimination
of various bacteria and viruses. How?
The QUATS based disinfectant would remain
effective only when they are used according to the
guidelines and by making use of proper equipment. If
not, QUAT binding would occur and the cleaning
would not be done efficiently.

3. QUAT binding occurs when the positively charged
ions of QUAT get attached to the negatively charged
ions of the rag or cleaning cloth. Which means the
positively charged ions of QUAT based disinfectant
are not released by the cleaning cloth and hence do
not come into contact with the membranes of the
bacteria and the killing does not take place.
SO WHAT IS QUATS BINDING?
Generally, we all make use of cloth or rags to
clean the surfaces, we dip the cloth in the
cleaning solution and then clean the floor or any
other surface. After cleaning, we tend to assume
that it has been done properly. But it is not so.

4. SO WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO
AVOID IT?
Method 1: One of the most important steps is to
embrace the right cleaning methods. Experts
recommend that to ensure proper cleaning you
must follow a two-step process. First cleaning
and then disinfecting.
While cleaning you focus on removing the
dirt and all other particles from the surface.
Once the surface is cleaned, you can spray
QUATS based disinfectant so that the
bacteria, viruses, could be eliminated.

5. SO WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TO
AVOID IT?
Method 2: Another way is to make use of a cleaning
cloth that does not let the QUATS binding to take
place. In this way, you can achieve the desired result
with just one step cleaning process.
Method 3: Instead of mops you can make use of
pasteurized wipes, which makes the disinfection
process more effective.
