37. HOW TO CHOOSE A
DISINFECTANT FOR HOUSEHOLD
ITEMS?
When choosing a disinfectant for our homes, there are
certain things to consider. It includes the effectiveness
and safety of the disinfectant, the time it takes to kill
viruses and bacteria, and ease of use.

38. HOW TO CHOOSE A
DISINFECTANT FOR HOUSEHOLD
ITEMS?
Ethyl alcohol and Isopropyl alcohol are the two most
common compounds. Alcohol-based disinfectants are
effective at killing many kinds of viruses and bacteria, but
the product has to have at least a 70% concentration to be
effective.
ALCOHOL IS EFFECTIVE BUT
EVAPORATES QUICKLY

39. EXAMPLE OF ALCOHOL PRODUCTS

40. HOW TO CHOOSE A
DISINFECTANT FOR HOUSEHOLD
ITEMS?
The active ingredient in bleach, sodium hypochlorite, is quick-
acting and very powerful, but it will cause discoloration in some
surfaces and soft materials like fabrics. This type of solution is
best used for floors, walls, sinks, certain utensils, stoves,
countertops, and some toys as well.
BLEACH IS CHEAP AND POWERFUL
BUT MIGHT CAUSE DISCOLORATION

41. EXAMPLE OF PRODUCTS WITH BLEACH AS
ACTIVE INGREDIENT

42. HOW TO CHOOSE A
DISINFECTANT FOR HOUSEHOLD
ITEMS?
Quats or Quaternary Ammonium Compounds are widely used
as surface disinfectants and can be found in many household
cleaners, including disinfectant wipes and sprays. This kind of
disinfectant is non-toxic, but can still irritate the eyes and skin,
so gloves are always a must.
QUATS ARE LESS CORROSIVE AND
NON-TOXIC

43. EXAMPLE OF PRODUCTS WITH QUATS AS
ACTIVE INGREDIENT

44. HOW TO CHOOSE A
DISINFECTANT FOR HOUSEHOLD
ITEMS?
Hydrogen peroxide is safe to use alone, but it shouldn't be
mixed with other household cleaning agents, like vinegar or
bleach. They can be used to disinfect the same are, given that
they were given enough time to dry between uses. They
should also not be combined in the same container.
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS EFFECTIVE BUT
DO NOT MIX IT WITH OTHER CHEMICALS

PEROXIDE AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT

DISINFECTANT FOR HOUSEHOLD
ITEMS?
